2018 ESPYS Predictions
Date: July 4, 2018Author: jlangenohl 0 Comments
The 2018 ESPYS are still two weeks out, but there's nothing more patriotic to celebrate the Fourth than predictions for a sports award show. It was a tremendous year in sports, marked by historic upsets, thrilling finishes, and memorable moments from all-time great athletes. Here are my predictions for the biggest show in sports.
Best Championship Performance
George Springer, Houston Astros – MLB World Series
Nick Foles, Philadelphia Eagles – Super Bowl LII
Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors – NBA Finals
Donte DiVincenzo, Villanova Men's Basketball – CBB National Championship
Four players, four championship MVPs. Each player listed above was crucial to the success of their respective championship game/series. George Springer came alive in the World Series, tying the all-time World Series record with five homeruns and batting .379 to help the Astros capture their first title. Foles came off the bench after surefire-MVP Carson Wentz went down with injury and threw for nearly 400 yards to give the city of Philadelphia its first Super Bowl. Kevin Durant was once again the best Warrior in their sweep of the Cavs, averaging 28.8 PPG and 7.5 assists. All that said, my best championship performance goes to Donte DiVincenzo, who buried the Wolverines' hopes with 31 points off the bench on 5-7 shooting from three.
Best Breakthrough Athlete
Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
Ben Simmons, Philadelphia 76ers
Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz
Sloane Stephens, Tennis
I had difficulty deciding between Kamara and Mitchell. Stephens had tremendous success over the past year, capturing her first U.S. and French Opens and ascending to number four in the world rankings, while Simmons produced one of the best rookie seasons ever. But, Simmons was the number-one pick—he was expected to produce like this. Unfortunately, tennis as a sport will not get the same recognition as basketball or football. Kamara was a third-round pick that ended up winning Rookie of The Year, while Mitchell helped lead the Jazz to their second playoff appearance in a row. Nod goes to Kamara.
World Series Game 5: Houston Astros defeat Los Angeles Dodgers
Rose Bowl: Georgia Bulldogs defeat Oklahoma Sooners
Winter Olympics: USA Women's Hockey defeats Canada
What a slate of games—each one decided by a single score, these matchups made for instant postseason classics. Game 5 was the second-highest scoring World Series game of all time—the Astros won in extra innings 13-12 in a must-win game with the series headed back to Los Angeles. The gold-medal match gave the United States a storybook ending, halting Canada's run of four straight gold medals. But the (slight) edge goes to the 2018 Rose Bowl, the first-ever overtime game in the game's history, the biggest and baddest in the SEC vs. Heisman winner Baker Mayfield.
Best Olympic Moment
Shaun White captures third gold medal
U.S. Cross Country ends four-decade medal drought
U.S. Women's Hockey Team wins gold in OT
U.S. Men's Curling wins first gold medal
Whoever the committee selects in this category will be deserving of the award. Shaun White's emotional gold medal was not only a great moment in 2018, but an all-time great Olympic moment. The Women's hockey team won their first gold medal since 1998 and dethroned the Canadians. Also, if you still have any doubts about cross country skiing, watch Jessie Diggins race the last 100 meters because it was nothing short of spectacular. However, the entire nation fell in love with "The Rejects", the U.S. curling team that won five straight to capture their first gold. If you stayed up until 4 a.m. on February 24th, you witnessed history. For more on the team, check out this link.
Best Moment
Minnesota Vikings defeat New Orleans Saints in NFC Divisional Round
Notre Dame defeats Mississippi State in NCAA Title
Las Vegas Golden Knights advance to Stanley Cup Finals
No. 16 UMBC upsets No. 1 Virginia
Plenty of big moments here, but nothing was going to top the first-ever win for a 16-seed in the NCAA tournament. The Retrievers didn't beat the Cavaliers on some miraculous shot—they absolutely dominated the number-one overall seed by 20 points. They proved that it wasn't just a fluke after putting up a good fight against Kansas State in the second round. It was a historic victory that proves once again that there is no better time in sports than March Madness.
Best Male Athlete
Jose Altuve, Houston Astros
James Harden, Houston Rockets
Alexander Ovechkin, Washington Capitals
Tom Brady, New England Patriots
The past seven winners have been NBA players and a hockey player has never won this award, so my Ovechkin pick appears to be the underdog. The stars may have aligned this season—Harden, Brady, and Altuve all had tremendous seasons, but only Altuve captured a title out of the three. Ovechkin is an all-time great that not only claimed the Stanley Cup that has eluded him his whole career, but the first Stanley Cup for the Capitals as well.
Best Female Athlete
Sylvia Fowles, Minnesota Lynx
Mikaela Shiffrin, Ski
Chloe Kim, Snowboard
Julie Ertz, Chicago Red Stars/United States Women's National Soccer Team
Mikaela Shiffrin had more Olympic publicity over the course of the two weeks in Pyeongchang, but I'm taking Kim here—she's the youngest woman to ever win a gold medal in Olympic snowboarding at age 17. She also has two gold medals at the Winter Youth Olympics and, because of her age, she'll be a force to reckon with for many more Winter Games.
Houston Astros, MLB
Philadelphia Eagles, NFL
USA Women's Ice Hockey
Notre Dame Fighting Irish, NCAA Women's Basketball
Villanova Wildcats, NCAA Men's Basketball
Golden State Warriors, NBA
Washington Capitals, NHL
The Warriors have been the undisputed best team in the NBA for two seasons now. They just added Boogie Cousins in free agency, which has no bearing on this award, but it further emphasizes their dominance (and in my opinion is a serious concern for the competitive spirit of the sport, but more on that another time). The Warriors are now 8-1 in their last nine Finals games, and with all due respect to the other nominees, this vote shouldn't be close.

Eye exam prices vary greatly depending on your chosen vision care provider and location. Call you local Visionworks store to find out their eye exam pricing.
To find your local Visionworks, click here.
Does my insurance plan cover eye exams?
Most vision insurance plans provide for one to two comprehensive eye examinations a year. If you do not have vision insurance, Visionworks offers special discounts for those without insurance.
To find out what promotions and discounts are offered at your local store, click here.
Current guidelines for eye exam frequency vary depending on factors such as age and overall health of each patient. Some may require an annual exam while others may need them more or less frequently. A good rule of thumb is for those over age 40, it is recommended to see your eye doctor once a year.
To schedule your eye exam appointment at your local Visionworks, click here.
What to expect at an eye exam?
Your eye doctor will dilate your eyes with dilating drops to make your pupils larger during a comprehensive eye exam. This allows them a better view of the internal structure of your eye. When your pupils are dilated you will be more sensitive to light and may find it hard to focus on objects up close. Bring sunglasses to your exam to help reduce glare and light sensitivity after you leave.
As your body ages, so do your eyes. Patients 65 and older are more susceptible to cataracts than the general population. A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye, leading to a decrease in vision. Over time, the transparent lens changes to a yellow or brownish color, causing problems with the crispness of vision and managing glare. The best way to diagnose cataracts is with an annual eye health evaluation. If you are diagnosed with cataracts, your eye doctor will discuss its effects on your vision and possibly recommend surgery.
A diabetic eye exam is no different than a regular eye exam, though if you have diabetes it is even more important to get regular eye exams. Diabetes mellitus, commonly shortened to diabetes, is the leading cause of blindness in American adults. This group of diseases is caused by high blood glucose due to a defect in the body's ability to use or produce needed insulin. Diabetics can suffer a loss of vision due to changes in the blood vessels of the retina. Through an eye examination, your eye doctor can diagnose retinal changes that can indicate the progression of the disease.
Age-related macular degeneration, commonly shortened to macular degeneration, is one of the leading causes of vision loss among those age 60 and up. Macular degeneration affects the central area of the retina known as the macula. Cells within the macula can malfunction over time and may cease to work, causing vision loss. The number one preventative measure for macular degeneration is a yearly visit to your eye doctor.
Some eye diseases have a higher incidence in women versus men, which is directly related to hormone changes that occur during a woman's lifetime. Some common problems are reduced tear production during pregnancy or later in life, age-related macular degeneration due to a woman's longer life span in comparison to men, and complications with the eye related to the use of eye makeup. A yearly visit to your eye doctor is the best way for women to maintain the health of their eyes.
Those who wear or want to wear contact lenses need a contact lens exam in addition to a standard eye exam. Special tests, such as a measure of the eye surface and an evaluation of your tear production are necessary to prescribe the best contacts for each individual. Whether you choose glasses or contacts, it's important to receive a yearly eye exam to maintain vision and overall wellness.
What do "OD" and "OS" mean in eye exam?
How long are eye exam prescriptions good for?
Eyeglass prescriptions typically expire after two years, though some circumstances require a shorter expiration. Contact lenses usually expire after one year.

HalloWWEen: See No Evil
October 24, 2018 October 24, 2018 ~ Matt Vetrano
See No Evil and all the images you see in this review are owned by Lionsgate Films and WWE Studios
Directed by Gregory Dark
We're back with another SPOOKY movie that only exists because of Vince McMahon's absurd little empire, and in this case the connection is much more direct than with DOOM. See, even though DOOM starred Dwayne "We're still only crediting him as The Rock" Johnson it TECHNICALLY wasn't a WWE film as that particular offshoot of the brand had barely come into existence at the time having only been second or third tier production house on bigger studio's films and Big Boy Vince didn't even have a hand in producing it. DOOM was a Hollywood movie through and through, but the landscape was about to change as the very next year WWE Studios (then known as WWE Films) were set to release their first three feature films under their banner with this being one of them. Seems like a simple enough premise to be sure, stick one of your monster men in a slasher film, and they certainly knew what the hell they were doing when they made The Marine the same year which is one of the most gloriously over the top action films ever made, so will this be an underrated gem in the genre or are we in for the cinematic equivalent of Halloween Havoc 1998; i.e. one long string of mediocrity followed by a jaw dropping botched shit show at the end!? Let's find out!!
The movie begins with a prologue where two cops enter a rundown house presumably on some sort of tip or a report of a disturbance. Needless to say that what they find inside is more than just a mere disturbance as the place has clearly been modeled after the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and they find a woman who is still alive, but has had her eyeballs plucked out. The mother plucker by the way is in the other room and manages to take out one of the cops but can only manage to take an arm off the cop who kind of looks like Aaron Eckhart. Like Chris Hemseworth, our rather inefficient slasher learns that you should REALLY go for the head as the cop manages to pop off a shot at HIS head with his good arm.
"The Undertaker sends his regards." *BANG*
Well that wasn't too bad! If you don't have much going for you, then keep it short at least! No, not really as the movie is sadly not THAT merciful (though it does helpfully clock in at a brisk hour and twenty including credits) as we cut to four years later, and I'm just gonna go ahead and spoil it if it wasn't obvious enough already, the killer DOES in fact come back into the movie. HOW!? What in the hell could have POSSIBLY happened between a bullet between the eyes and our time jump that would have led to him being alive AND out of jail!? Even Jason Voorhees would have been caught! Hell, he WAS caught at least TWICE (Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X) so how is it that Corporate Kane over here managed to get the hell back up and escape police capture!? I don't know, but before we get anywhere NEAR that part of the story, we have to set up who our cast of victims will be and the circumstances they will find themselves in that'll make it VERY easy for our killer to do his thing. Now if you thought that the killer somehow surviving and escaping was ridiculous, get a load of THIS shit! So super cop has sort of retired I think and is now working with troubled youth, and by troubled youth I mean people clearly in their twenties who don't look like they've spent a single day in jail ever. Hell, they're ALL wearing street clothes and the women have really nice makeup and perfect hair! That's small potatoes however when compared to… whatever "plan" this is to rehabilitate them. Super Cop and I guess someone from the women's prison who I will call Prison Mom take a bus load of co-ed super models to the most decrepit looking hotel you've EVER seen, and the goal is for them (we're talking maybe ten prisoners in total) to clean this place up in three days. If they do that, they get a month of their sentence, because that's a thing I guess!? The hotel is owned by the Sweet Miss Margaret who wants to turn it into a homeless shelter which seems PRETTY damn ambitious of her when it'd probably be cheaper and quicker to just tear the place down and start from scratch. Seriously, this place is such a shithole that you would NEVER take a bunch of untrained laborers to "spruce the place up" as this hotel is SO far gone that sweeping the floors isn't gonna do a damn thing!
Who the hell is handing out tank tops at the women's prison!?
Not only that, but they don't go back to prison at the end of the day! They're working for three days AND THEY ARE STAYING IN THE HOTEL! THIS RUSTY HELL HOLE!? If I was ANY of these kids, I'll call a freaking lawyer immediately as this is some seriously cruel and unusual punishment! The premise is absolutely pointless and makes no sense at all (THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TRACKING DEVICES ON THEM!) and basically any other premise could have worked here. It's all just the most obnoxious kind of stylism that doesn't serve the story itself. Horror movies are scary and gritty, so let's have our characters staying in the biggest shithole imaginable. We want to be tough and hardcore so let's make all the characters criminals! In trying so hard yet can't muster an inch of credibility, and it's not even like this kind of over the top excessive style CAN'T work (Rob Zombie's made a career of it), but here it just feels lifeless and half-hearted. But hey, all the crappy direction and plot contrivances are mere small potatoes if the acting and scares are up to snuff, right? Yeah… about that. Look, I don't know if any of these people have gone on to have stellar careers or whatever, but the cast across the board simply do not give a crap about this movie and it shows in their performances. Hey, I don't blame them! When you're asked to work with material like THIS, what else can you do!?
Well it's certainly a better use of your time than sitting through this movie.
Well we might as well do the roll call since we'll be spending the next twenty minutes with these people while See No Evil Man (I don't think the villain ever gets an actual name in this) just stalks around the hotel and bides his time. Two of the crooks (Richie and Tyson) are straight up pulling a Scooby-Doo as they think there's a secret safe in the hotel, Kira wants to escape because her abusive ex Michael is in there with them and she's getting help from Christine, and… yeah that's about it. The other three are just kinda futzing about while Super Cop and Prison Mom don't do shit about it. It doesn't even seem like they have a schedule or any sort of goals laid out as every time we see them their either half-heartedly dusting a wall or doing nothing at all in their assigned rooms. Oh wait! Kira has an obligatory shower scene which is SUPPOSED to be sexy but comes off as ridiculous considering the state of the bathroom she's in. I wouldn't take off my jacket in there for fear of getting tetanus, let alone get bare ass naked!
I don't buy for a SECOND that that place has clean running water!
It's almost astounding how meat headed and unpalatable this movie is what with it's over the top set design and distressingly unlikable characters, particularly Michael who walks in during the shower scene and tries to rape her before being chased off by Christine. Yeah, that's a thing that happens and we just jump from there to the Scooby-Doo Gang with a literal map in their hands walking the halls and checking the doors. Well they may not have found Old Man Blackwell's Hidden Treasure, but they do manage to find a dead homeless dude with his eyes ripped out (apparently that's See No Evil Man's gimmick) which freaks out Richie who soon ends up getting caught by the villain, and by caught I mean the dude throws a hook on a chain right into his back like he's Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. One down, seven to go! No wait, ten if we include Super Cop, Prison Mom, and Sweet Miss Margaret. For a movie so short, it already feels like it's taking forever. Thankfully we get to kill number two fairly quickly as Prison Mom is riding the SOMEHOW STILL WORKING elevator and gets trapped by See No Evil Man who throws her against the ceiling and rips her eyes out.
I'm pretty sure eyeballs aren't ACTUAL balls connected by one or two veins.
Alright, so we're two down and no one's the wiser as to See NO Evil Man's schemes, whatever they may be. Tyson, the other half of the Scooby-Doo gang, is still running down the halls in the upper levels I guess and Kira and Christine put their escape plan into action which includes… climbing out the window. Seriously, what was Super Cop planning to tell the Warden when a bunch of these kids inevitably escape? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!? It's all moot anyway because See No Evil Man bursts into the room and kidnaps Kira which is what FINALLY gets Super Cop's attention and it's also timed perfectly with Tyson's return to the bottom floor who gives him a description of the guy. Well now that the IMPORTANT characters are all on the same page (no one's bothering to find the other four inmates to tell them there's a serial killer on the loose), Super Cop goes to confront his greatest foe one last time! No wait, he dies pretty much immediately in what is probably the best kill in the entire movie.
Fishing accidents are the thirty-eighth cause of death in crappy horror movies. Say NO to playing hooky!
Well damn! With the ONE competent person out of the picture, that just leaves Tyson and Christine to find Kira before it's too late! Oh, what about the others? Yeah, they're having the worst party imaginable in one of the upper rooms. All dust, dirt, bugs, and with like two joints between them. I mean I guess you've got to get your entertainment where you can find it, but this is all just padding until See No Evil Man runs wild and takes them all out. Speaking of which, we should probably get into the villain himself. Now as I've mentioned already (I'm sure I'm just beating a dead horse at this point), there are no real characters being set up in this movie; just shallow personalities in a meat suit ready to be violently eviscerated as long as it's within the budget. You know who DOES get the characterization and proper backstory though? See No Evil Man. Well… sort of. I say "proper backstory" but in reality it's just as half assed as everything else in here, but the intent was clearly for us to understand him and his motivations above any of the other characters in the movie which I consider to be a cardinal sin of the genre. I mean I guess it's not TOO hard to see why this is the case here since WWE Studios is banking on the star power of sitting Tennessee mayor Glenn Jacobs, also known by his ring name Kane, and having someone marginally famous slashing up teenagers has worked in the past with movies like Tony Todd in Candyman, the revealed slasher (or slashers!) in Scream, and even Warwick Davis as The Leprechaun. However, it's an amateur mistake to think that that is ALL you need as even the Nightmare on Elm Street movies which was a franchise driven entirely by an overwhelming personality always had strong and well devolved characters in the lead (Nancy, Jesse, Kristin, Lisa, and I GUESS Maggie if we have to acknowledge Freddy's Dead). Even if we were just gonna focus on how BADASS and DEEP the villain is in this film compared to everyone else, he STILL comes up short of even the most generic of slasher villains.
Look, all I'm saying is it couldn't have hurt to at least TRY the mask!
I'll admit that Mr. Kane has a certain amount of screen presence due to his physicality, but the story they give him is totally asinine. It's just a generically abusive religious upbringing with no personality or context to it. His mother locked him in a cage and yelled at him about SIN (like you do), but the scenes are so brief and bereft on context that it doesn't MEAN anything! We don't even get to see his evolution as a killer as he's completely passive in the flashbacks. The leap from being a victim of abuse by religious extremists to ritualistically murdering people and taking their eyes is a pretty big one and PROBABLY could have used a bit more explanation (they certainly weren't hurting for time considering how short the movie is), but instead it looks like a low rent music video from a fifth rate Metallica knock off.
"We always liked your brother more. Have you at least TRIED being a dead man?"
Where the heck was I even going with this before I went on a rant there? Oh right! Four pot smoking kids who might as well tape STAB ME signs to their back and sprits barbeque sauce on their necks. Okay, so three of them bite the dust rather quickly (Michael SOMEHOW manages to avoid him entirely) with Hippie Lady Melissa (who's in jail for rescuing animals from a pound that was going to euthanize them) falling off a roof and getting eaten by dogs and the valley girl Zoe getting a cell phone shoved down her throat. Is it just me or does the film seem to have a problem with women; what with the gratuitous nudity, pointless inclusion of rape, and rather mean spirited deaths here? At least now the playing field is nice and clear for us to get to the finale where Kira is locked in a cage (apparently See No Evil Man is keeping her alive because she has… religious tattoos?), Christine and Tyson have finally found See No Evil Man's lair on the top floor, and now they have to sneak past the guy to free her and get the hell out of the place. Tyson manages to distract See No Evil Man which is the good news. The bad news? Well… let's just say he'll be remembered as a martyr. While See No Evil Man is doing his bone crunching thing, Christine tries to break Kira out of the cage but has no luck doing it. I mean the cage looks like it's held together with thumb tacks and scotch tape, but nope! Can't escape just yet! Christine hears someone coming and hides in the room, and the door opens to reveal… Sweet Miss Margaret! Oh yeah! I forgot about her! What's she doing up here anyway? Well it turns out… she's the abusive mother of See No Evil Man! WRESTLING SHOCK!! It turns out that she bought this place so that her son had a nice quiet place to do his Holy work and convinced Super Cop to bring a bunch of inmates here along with himself so that they can get their revenge for See No Evil Man getting shot in the head! Okay, that DOES answer a few questions and I like that they bothered to put a TWIST in here, but this also raises a few issues of its own. For one, how the hell did Super Cop not know this was See No Evil Man's mother? Did they learn ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from that initial crime scene about the killer's identity!? On top of that, the flashbacks CLEARLY showed that See No Evil Man and See No Evil Mom were living in a crappy mobile home, so how the heck did they afford this place!? Wait, hold on. It looks like this place was donated to the Society of Historical Preservation, and she's a member of that. What, so organizations taking care of million dollar properties tend to recruit hillbilly Jesus freaks to SINGLE HANDEDLY oversee gigantic projects like this? Really? Ugh… whatever. The mom being in this movie at least gives us SOMETHING to sit up and pay attention too which is good because otherwise I'd have easily fallen asleep at this point. See No Evil Mom starts demanding that her son kill the SINFUL WHORE locked in the cage (I don't think she knows what those words mean) but because See No Evil Man has FINALLY grown tired of her shit, he throws her ass clear across the room and impales her on one of the billion sharp objects protruding from the walls of this place! DAMN!! Well I guess that brings us up to TWO decent kills here!
And YOU thought all this place needed was some sweeping!
Sadly this is the highlight of the movie as it just putters around for another ten minutes. See No Evil Man doesn't REALLY have a revelation about his evil deeds and still takes Kira all for himself to… I guess keep like a doll or something (ugh…) so Christine has to try and get her back which goes about as bad as you'd expect. Things look pretty grim until… MICHAEL SHOWS UP and whacks him in the back with a pipe! Hooray! Wait what!? The RAPIST gets to save the day!? Are you KIDDING me with that shit? God dammit, we're almost done. The combined effort of three twenty somethings is enough to overpower this hulking giant and they eventually manage to throw him out a window. A CGI rendering of Mr. Kane falls dozens of stories, crashes into a few things along the way, and eventually lands on the ground.
Now available in WWE 2K19 as exorbitant DLC! There's still no voice acting and you can't have a career if you're a woman, but we added a number to the end!!
And that's it! The three survivors escape and we cut to a dog peeing in See No Evil Man's eye socket, and you know… what perfect way to sum up this movie! Watching this movie is the equivalent of piss going directly into your eye balls! I mean sure, I've seen WAY worse, but its crap like this that effectively killed the slasher genre for like a decade. It's only now with recent releases like Happy Death Day and Halloween (no not that one or that one, the other one) that films like these might have another chance for prominence, so let's hope that if nothing else this can serve as an example of what NOT to do when creating the next Friday the 13th knock off or Scream sequel. First, you've GOT to have characters worth caring about or otherwise there's no tension to be had. I know we joke about the cavalcade of horror clichés in the early films, but honestly a lot of them (even the sequels) have casts that are MUCH better than the kind we saw in the wake of Scream in the early and mid-two thousands. Second, you're cinematography has to fit the movie you're trying to make. Rob Zombie knows how to make trashy aesthetics look effective and to create scenarios where they make sense. His movie 31 is ABOUT a dingy and seedy murder game so of course the arena is one giant festering cesspit. It makes no sense for anyone to take a look at this place and think that a group of unmotivated convicts are going to do ANYTHING to fix it which means that all the effort to make it look this grungy falls completely flat. Third (and by no means are these the ONLY rules to follow), you have to know what kind of villain your setting up and commit to it. If you WANT the more character driven bad guy, you need to explain his backstory with more than just random flashbacks. Heck, if they had just intercut scenes of Frailty in here and said that Jeremy Sumpter grew up to be this hulking mo-fo, it'd at least make the situation a lot more compelling! They just don't know what to DO with See No Evil Man in here as he's sometimes a one dimensional killing machine a la Michael Myers, other times a very human monster like Norman Bates, and then at the end he's just… I don't know, the boss in a Beat-Em-Up video game? Look, I know that slasher movies basically earned the trashy reputation they got in the eighties, but so many of the ones we still remember are great for a reason! They've got iconic characters, solid storytelling, and a modicum of restraint so that the extraordinary moments of violence are that much more thrilling to watch. This movie is just everything at once with no sense of discipline or craft and it all ends up being a mealy mothed mess that couldn't pass muster at a Red Box, let alone in theaters. WWE Studios have yet to truly be a studio worth taking seriously outside of the WWE faithful with their bigger successes still feeling like other studio's films that they just happened to glom onto like The Call, Oculus, and Sleight. Maybe that's not such a bad thing as some of those straight from the ring to your local Redbox features are at least INTERESTING sits, and I'll certainly be looking at a few more of them in the future, but it all feels like Vince is trying to recreate the once in a lifetime magic of John "The Dwayne" Rockson and that manufactured attitude is absolutely present in this miserable pile of bloody nonsense.

LITERATURE and BOOKS. / 2013
2013 -by Bayo Akinloye
Staring but not seeing...
Are there clairvoyant eyes
Peeking into Nostradamus' cauldron
Of concocted tomorrows
I behold twenty colours of confusion
And thirteen of convolution
Pessimistic!
Isn't 2013 a magical era
Fireworks, tongues of fire heralding it
Billions keeping vigil just for a sight
While eternity passes us by
At twenty why are we still acting like a blasphemous thirteen?
In the passion of my impatience
I am conjuring your future presence
2013 is to me a past tense
Do bear with my incorrigible defiance
Unfold the depth of your essence
Do abide by my insistence
As I behold your fences
In the faraway borders of limitlessness
Enshroud in sworn silence
Grant me the licence
Oh dear tomorrow, please
Come to me in your silence
Before they begin to burn incense
At your feet, meaningless rites
Signposting endless strifes
Am I pointless?
I am helpless
Am I hopeless
In your distant absence?
I grope for your presence
In my cluelessness
I may find your peace...
POLITICS / "ANYBODY ASKING FOR MORE STATES IS A LUNATIC"- PROF. ITSE SAGAY
Anybody Asking for More States is a Lunatic ? Sagay
Professor Itse Sagay, a constitutional lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, sallies out at the heart of leadership issues hurting Nigeria in this interview with Gbenga Ogundare and Tayo Olanipekun
Why does the National Assembly prefer patching the Nigerian Constitution rather than re-writing another one through a Sovereign National Conference?
What you have actually fingered touches on the Nigerian national character, which implies that anything the man in public office does must be for the purpose of multiplying his powers. That is the objective of people in power, everywhere, from the executive, that is the Presidency to the National Assembly. If we say there should be a wholesale review of the constitution, then you?re going beyond what the constitution expects them to do. And their attitude is: if it is outside the scope of the National Assembly, then it cannot be done because we want to be in charge. To do anything on a grand scope like that, you?re reducing our powers. And our powers must never be reduced even if Nigeria suffers, even if the future of the country is mortgaged. It is that bad.
Is that why the NASS has to review the constitution twice in two years?
There?s nothing wrong in reviewing the constitution. It is an imperfect document and it was done by the military, advised by a few selected civilians. There?s nothing wrong with that, but the reviews they have done so far has no relationship with the problems with the constitution. Not at all. They leave the main problems and go after irrelevant, petty, meaningless issues that have no impacts on the lives of Nigerians. Usually, they will talk of how to increase in relevance and power. They will talk about how INEC can?t conduct even LG elections. Everybody knows what they problem is. We all know the problem has to do with centralism, lack of federalism. That is the main problem.
Strong advocates of SNC are in recent times backing off. Why the sudden change?
You are the one telling me some are backing off. I?m not aware.
Wole Soyinka, for example. Many have also fallen silent about it. Is anything inherently wrong?
I earlier said those in power and authority will never accept a situation in which that power will be reduced by one inch. When Obasanjo was there for eight years, he was vehemently against the SNC. Why? It is not that he finds anything wrong. But if we have an SNC there will be transfer of power and resources to the state. He could have reasoned: I, Obasanjo, will preside over the liquidation of my empire? Never! Now he?s gone forever. No legacy has been left. Goodluck may soon be gone too, at the most, after 2015. For the rest of his life, he will have no such power again. So, his clinging to this plenary, multitude of powers he has now and he will not negotiate circumstance under which he allows it to be reduced so that the country can be stable and develop. In other words, for the four years he went cling to power, he?s sacrificing eternity of stability for Nigeria.
Some also think the recent waves of regional sentiments could spell the end of the Nigeria nation. What is your view on this?
The parasites are saying so. Those who are really surviving by sucking the blood of others, who don?t want to work, who just want to sit down and eat from the labour of other parts of the country, are the ones saying so. Because once you regionalize, it means that you control your resources and contribute to the centre. You have to produce resources before you can control. I won?t mention names, but there are parts of the country who are so used to collecting the proceeds of the labour and resources of others, and are not interested in developing as long as they can get allocations. We will never develop as long as we have 36 states the Federal Government controls their resources. The only way we develop is to denude the Federal Government of these powers and resources and then let the regions develop themselves.
The Niger Delta oil and Lagos State BAT have killed Nigeria because now money comes. Everybody is a thief, the oil companies are thieves: they take away majority of the products and account for very little. The NNPC, the National Assembly and all are taking their shares. Nigeria is an environmental disaster in terms of social development. The North used to be a productive region and they were number one in agriculture. They exported groundnut, cotton, hides and skin, and were not looking anywhere for their survival. They used to be the most independent zone in the country that we, in fact, had to beg them during the 1950 Ibadan National Conference, February 1950, to remain with Nigeria. But once they tasted oil proceeds, they became addicted to the Niger-Delta oil. They stopped all their productive activities and all they wait for now is monthly allocation from the Niger-Delta oil. They share it, they enjoy themselves, and the north remains the least developed part of the country. The north is a rich place. If we have a good leader like Ahmadu Bello now, give it 10 years, with no oil the north will over-take the rest of the country. Look at the cattle that they have; what do they do with it? Argentina does not have more cows than the north. Nigeria should have been the centre of exportation of chilled beef all over the world if only those people would not keep to stone-age facts of existence. All the north needs is good leadership, but they don?t have it. May I say also that the south does not have good leaders either. Maybe we are seeing them emerging in the south-west. We have the Fasholas, the Fayemis, and the Tinubus. Of course Tinubu is a leader. You see they are doing this economic integration. Give them five years, even with the strangled type of federalism that we have, they will make progress. And the rest of the country will be embarrassed.
There is an agitation in some parts of the country that people want more states...
That?s crazy. Anybody who wants more states is a lunatic. He?s saying it either to please people from whom he wants things or to create another centre of demand where more money would be drawn from the centre to be shared by elites without any developmental effects. We should be talking of merging. I?m proposing eight zones. The North East should be split into two. Let Yobe and Borno for a region because they have the same characteristic, ethnicity and everything is the same. Then in the south, there should be mid-west states. That is, Delta and Edo states to form a region, as it was in 1966. Then the rest, the east, Ibo states should form a region; the rest of the south-south get a region. The west should include Offa, part of Kwara and the Yoruba part of Kogi. So, there will be ethnic integrity. And, the present Anioma should form a state in the Ibo region to make the sixth state. Anioma in Delta should form a state. Once you do that you?ll have integrity - regional integrity. Rules of competition has started. Let us revert to the way we used to do during the first republic. Then every state contributed 20 per cent of what they produced in the region to the Federal Government. And then limit their responsibilities So that they?re not overstretched. Leave the rest to the zones. In ten years, they will not recognize the zones. Nobody would tell these northern people who are doing nothing now before they would start building factories and manufacturing, corned beef, shipping of chilled beef. In fact, they will feed the whole of West Africa.
Between constitutional review and political will: Which do you think is more important for good governance?
Both are important. You can have political will and use it to do bad thing. If there?s solidarity and determination to manage that constitution in the best possible manner, that will be done. If I were the Federal Government, I will practically tell the states to generate their own electricity and supply their people. What happens now is that they will force them to generate and transmit it to Oshogbo. So the Federal Government collects it and promises that they will bring it back in addition to what the state have, but they will never do that. Instead they will send it to other parts. So you?re spending money generating, sending to them only for them to send same to those that never take the troubles to generate electricity.
If President Jonathan contests and wins 2015 election, he will take the oath of office three times as president. Does that matter in the constitution?
No, it doesn?t. Is anyone saying that Jonathan doesn?t have the right for a second term? The first time, he didn?t contest as a president. He merely used the remaining part of Yar?adua?s tenure and the constitution allows him to do that. So technically he?s running his first term so he?s entitled to a second term. It?s a different thing. But if you say, during his first term, he did not perform well, and you are not satisfied and you want to oppose his second term, you?re entitled to do that. But you can?t give him a technical knockout by trying to distort the constitution.
Boko Haram is asking for compensation for its fighters killed by the Joint Task Force. What?s your thought?
The question I asked is: in recent times the Chief of Army Staff announced that Boko Haram has so far killed 3,000 innocent citizens. All right. What?s the Federal Government going to do for the families of those people? First, you go and compensate the murderers and the terrorists. Meanwhile, the victims? families are lying there in anguish and pain for totally undeserved loss of their loved ones. It didn?t make sense to me when I heard it.
What about a roundtable with the terrorists?
There?s nothing wrong with dialogue. If they want to dialogue, in order to lay down their arms ? all right, provided it?s genuine; provided it doesn?t have unreasonable terms like saying that they?re going to Saudi Arabia, which is nonsense. If they want to dialogue, they can?t dictate terms. We shouldn?t close door to dialogue to bring an end to this scourge which has destroyed the north. There?s nothing going on in those areas now.
What do you think should be the blueprint to get Nigeria on course?
There are quite a number of things, apart from the federalism I stated. The same disease that Obasanjo suffered is what Jonathan is also going through, by not wanting to lose the quantum of power he has. But apart from that, I think the first thing is to tackle corruption. Look at what happens with every project you want to carry out in this country: roads, refineries, funds for school building or anything else. Once the money is put down those people appointed to execute it will first sit down and share it. And then they leave tiny fraction of it for the work to be done.
Every day you read about corruption in the papers; and it is at every level ? from state to local government. In fact, local government is even the worst. We also need to select people with ideas. The problem we have with energy should be looked into because no country can survive without power. One other amazing thing is that we are the only country exporting crude oil and importing refined oil. It?s never done. If I were the president, within a year, I would build refineries. If it requires borrowing money, I will borrow to build about 10 refineries, end all these stealing by the so-called importer/marketers. And those refineries should be able to pay what they borrow, produce large quantities at low rates that everybody can afford it and use it for their businesses and all that. Then, see the issue of human capital development. One of the richest countries in the world, Japan, does not have any natural resources; all they have is human resources and are highly developed. If we withdraw our doctors from the medical system of the US, it will collapse. All the excellence you hear of in the US has Nigerians playing major roles. So as they say we export what we don?t have that?s human capital and we import what we have that is petroleum products.
Recently, the Chief Justice of the Federation refused to swear-in a judge based on the state of origin. How much can this affect the Affirmative Action?
I don?t even look at it from the Affirmative Action because most of our female judges are sound; they?re there on their merit and not any Action. But what kills the spirit in what that CJ has done is that she raised race and ethnicity to a level of an oppressive deity. If she?s been serving Abia, she?s from Abia State. Period! The constitution talks of residence, there?s nothing like indigene. What the CJ did was very backward, very disappointing. I admire her a lot, I thought she was a progressive person, but I can?t get over the shock. The woman has served Abia and the state has right to sponsor her. Only narrow minded, petty people could petition that after serving you all her life. She deserves to be elevated on the basis of Abia State. I?m very surprised. I hope she makes a reversal in the interest of the nation.
Is all hope lost on the Bakassi boundary dispute?
Yes, all hope is lost. I give credit to the attorney general of the federation for not prosecuting the case. We really lost not in the court because after the 2002 judgement there were steps the Federal Government should have taken. A judgement of the International Court is legal, not automatically enforceable. If the person who loses refuses to abide by it, the other party is obliged to go to the Security Council of the UN. And they are a political body with delicately stated power. There they have a say on the matter being reported to the Security Council. If the Security Council finds it necessary, it may enforce the judgement. So if they say ?may?, that gives you discretion. Number two is that for the security council to enforce that power of ?may? it means unanimity of the five permanent members: the UK, the US, Russia, France and China. I was also consulted when this case arose and I wrote a memorandum that the court judgement, though binding, made a terrible omission which invalidates it in law. But since you cannot revise it, the only thing to do is to go to the Security Council and challenge it. Over the last one hundred years in the history of humanity, no people has been transferred from one sovereignty to another without a plebiscite. The people are indigenes not settlers. The principle of self determination is called jus cogens. It is the highest principle of international law which is superior to all other laws and can always be modified by another principle of the same status. Like crime against humanity, genocide, they are all on the same level. So it is binding on the international court of justice to have ordered that. What we advised was that Nigeria should refuse to obey the judgment, compelling Cameroun to go to the Security Council. Then Nigeria should say we have no quarrel with Cameroun. The issue of self determination has been omitted by the court, we urge the Security Council to order a Plebiscite. And the UN is known for urging a plebiscite. Before southern Cameroun left us, there was a plebiscite, before Adamawa joined us, there was a plebiscite; before eastern part of Togo joined Ghana, there was a plebiscite. Everybody is entitled to it. We also gave them a full back position because that cannot pass through as France and Britain were against us. But if they vetoed the proposal for a plebiscite we should have lobbied China and Russia to also veto any attempt to use force to implement the jugdement. These were written down advice we gave to the Obasanjo government. China and Russia would have done that for us because of the elements of the cold war still there and they would have been glad to have us as one of their clients. But Obasanjo just strutted out to New York to sign the Green Tree Agreement. From that day, Bakassi went and that was the end. Nothing new has happened since then to change the situation.
POLITICS / SENATOR MAMORA: "SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENTIRE SYSTEM"
Ten Questions for Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora
Senator Mamora takes Tayo Olanipekun through issues that have plagued the nation for long stressing that seriousness and sincerity of purpose will go a long way to redeem the nation
Has the nation escaped from the ills that activists such as Gani Fawehinmi fought against?
We?re still very far from the principles and values Gani stood for. If we?re progressing, we won?t be where we are today. We have issues with corruption, injustice, inability to pursue federalism, to even respect the law of the land. We need to remind ourselves we still need to do a lot.
It seems it will be too difficult to have the kind of Nigeria we desire. How best do you think the nation could be moved forward?
There are issues of insincerity and lack of seriousness. We are a people not serious and insincere. You see leaders saying one thing and doing another. Again, we?ve left undone what we should do and we are preoccupied with unnecessary things.
What is your take on federalism as being practiced in Nigeria today?
Since the entity called Nigeria came into existence in 1914, we?ve had so many constitutions. We?ve had so many constitutional conferences. We?ve had the Richard Constitution, Littleton Constitution, Independent Constitution, Republican Constitution, Babangida Constitution, Abacha constitution, all of these and yet we?ve not been able to move forward the way we should. This is because we have not exhibited sincerity and seriousness and have not been able to address the real issues. That?s why we keep on coming back all the times.
What are these core issues?
We talk about the issues of power, fiscal federalism, the state police and all that everytime, all because we have failed to address the fundamental issues.
How do we achieve functional federalism then?
The issue is that the foundation is defective and we want to build an edifice. Rather than keep on deceiving ourselves, we need to go back and restructure the foundation with a view to achieving functional federalism. We do this by restructuring along social, economic and political lines.
What about issues with our currency and its restructuring?
The reservation that I have is that no matter how good a policy appears to be, we must also look at the implications of such a policy on the people because the good of the people according to Cicero, is the supreme law. No matter what we do along this line, to the extent that there is apprehension in the system. The NLC said that if the N5, 000 note was introduced, they would demand for pay rise. Thus, no matter how good a policy may be, to the extent that it could negatively affect the life of people because they are at the centre of governance, at the centre of development are the people. Caution should be applied in pursuing any policy that may be in the interest of the people.
As a former senator, how do you see the criticism of the national assembly as not been active in fighting corruption?
Don?t forget that this is an arm of government whose primary purpose is to make laws. Because it is the laws made by the National Assembly that govern the activities of bodies like the EFCC, ICPC, Code of Conduct Bureau and others. The point is that you can?t correct all the ills through laws alone. There is also the moral that is lacking and that is why the issue of values also becomes critical and important.
So it essentially takes moral and values to tackle corruption?
In a situation that the people concerned either through act of omission or commission or both fail to do what is right, you cannot blame that on the national assembly. It is not the national assembly that will investigate or prosecute. An allegation that is poorly investigated and poorly prosecuted cannot lead to conviction.
Or there is laxity on the part of law enforcement agencies?
It is the duty of the police and other agencies to investigate. I like to take a holistic view of the situation. We must begin to look at issue of thorough investigation and prosecution before we can be talking of conviction. When everything is done thoroughly, you can then deter people if only you sanction them accordingly as a result of infraction of the law.
Then, the indictment would also be on the judiciary?
Picture the case of a former governor who was accused of over 100 count charges and it was like what the bible says, ? many are the afflictions of the righteous ,God delivereth him from them all?. He was discharged of all and this is the same person that is imprisoned in the U.K for less than ten-count charge. This means something is wrong with the entire system. It is not just the national assembly.
AUTOMOBILES / MOTORING: TATA MANZA, STYLE AND COMFORT
TATA MANZA-Art of Style and comfort
The new Tata Manza is out to prove that an affordable car does not have to be pre owned, and it will surely key in on the desire of the medium income earners
Tayo Olanipekun
With a new styling, advanced technology and comfort features set to make it a leading model in the A-segment, the 2012 all-new Tata Manza is undoubtedly set to entice the emerging Nigerian middle class in need of moderately priced cars. This newer version of the Tata indigo has witnessed tremendous efforts from the makers to make its interiors more stylish and impressive.
The exterior gives an intimidating appearance with sleek body graphics and chrome finish in the door handles and rubs rails while the logo of Tata embossed on the front grille gives the feeling of trust and faith.
The interior, though, shares some similarities with the former model; it however adds end features to give the new model an up market look and a very spacious inside. For instance, the instrument cluster of the new Manza is placed at the conventional right side of the dashboard behind the steering wheel. The steering is also equipped with audio mounted controls, and a larger wheelbase as compared to the existing model.
It also has a centrally mounted MID (Multi Information Display) which is generally offered in the higher end vehicles. The all new Sedan Tata Manza is available in four variants: Aqua, Aura, Aura (ABS) and Aura Plus, all packed with exciting features like Bluetooth connectivity, power outlets for charging laptops and other mobile devices, outdoor temperature sensor and high mounted LED lamps.
The Tata Manza has the petrol variant powered with the 1368cc, 4-cylinder, MPFI, petro engine with Intelligent port resize that can produce 90PS of maximum power at 6000rpm along with a maximum torque of 116 Nm at 4750rpm. Also, the diesel variant is powered by a 1248cc, 4-cylinder, common rail diesel engine that has the competency of delivering high engine performance with excellent fuel efficiency and acceleration.
The engine produces 90PS at 4000rpm of maximum power at 4000rpm and maximum torque capacity of 200 Nm at 1750-3000 rpm; both engines deliver excellent performance with good fuel mileage, and mated to a 5-speed manual engine.
In the area of safety, Tata Manza employs an efficient antilock braking system (ABS) and airbags which enhances safety and quite absent in vehicles of similar segment. This is an art of comfort, adaptability and style that will surely entice any lover of car, any day.

Once again we have a wealth of fundraising news for you. We are always amazed and touched by the generosity and energy of those who support THHN, both financially and with their time. A huge thank you to you all of you. Without you we would not be able to provide the memory-making holidays that families living with serious illness and bereavement so desperately need.
Last September when John Lake Estate Agents opened a new lettings office in St Marychurch, they pledged a contribution to THHN for every property successfully sold or let. As a result they raised an amazing £1,250, which they presented recently to THHN founder Luke Tillen and fundraising manager Brian Lewis.
A heartfelt thank you to the Three Pillars Lodge, Torbay Masters Lodge, Jordan Lodge and Lodge Concordia, who last year joined forces and held the most incredible Ladies Night at the Riviera International Conference Centre.
The whopping £1,850 they raised was split between four local charities, including THHN. David Wilson, Master of Lodge Concordia, came along to THHN HQ to present THHN founder Luke Tillen and THHN fundraising manager Brian Lewis with a cheque for a fantastic £462.51p.
Crealy Great Adventure Park and Resort have named THHN as one of the four charities they will be supporting in 2017.
THHN exhibited at two trade shows in March. Our team had the opportunity to highlight the work we do both at the Tourism and Business Exhibition at the Riviera Centre in Torquay and at the South West Business Expo in Exeter, where there were around 2,000 delegates. It was great to meet so many people and we hope to have recruited even more business supporters for our charity.
We are delighted that Ocean BMW Torbay have become the latest sponsors of the THHN City to Sea and Festival of Fun events on Sunday, 3September 2017.
Our Fundraising Manager Brian Lewis visited the Ocean BMW Torbay showroom to thank the team for sponsoring the event and helping THHN.
Gareth Watton, Ocean BMW Torbay Sales Manager, said "We love being involved with local charities and events, and this is one which really struck a chord with us. To see so much help and support being put back into our local community is so important, which is why we are so happy to be a part of such a fantastic event".
Local personal trainer and legendary THHN fundraiser will be taking on the Atlantic Coastal Challenge for THHN in October. His feat of fitness will consist of three very tough coastal marathons over three days.
But as heroic as this challenge is, it is underpinned by tragedy. Glen first entered seven years ago in 2010, but never competed because he and his wife lost their son George while he was training for the event. "Obviously all training and events went out the window and my priorities changed to looking after my beautiful wife and just trying to get through the worst time any human being could ever go through," said Glen.
Please give as much as you can afford, even if it's just £1, to support Glen's challenge for THHN. Donate at www.justgiving.com/Glen-Bevan5.
There is also one remaining slot (priced at £130) on Glen's shirt for any business interested in sponsoring him. The event is likely to be well covered in local media.
Fancy doing the fabulous THHN City to Sea marathon or ultra on Sunday, 3 September, but unwilling to take on the entire distance? Then the relay option could be for you.
Marathon – two or three team members over three stages, running from Exeter to Babbacombe Downs.
At the end of March a lovely family came to stay at THHN HQ, Hotel De La Mer in Babbacombe. We'd like to say a big thank you to our friends at Project Linus UK who very kindly donated one of their wonderful blankets for the family to enjoy.

A new observational study by researchers from Hong Kong demonstrates that disrupted sleep is associated with DNA damage. The findings appear in the journal Anaesthesia.
Overnight on-site call doctors had lower baseline DNA repair gene expression and more DNA breaks than participants who did not work overnight.
In overnight on-site call participants, after acute sleep deprivation, DNA repair gene expression was decreased and DNA breaks were increased.

Sports Through the Lens of Economic History
New Horizons in the Economics of Sport series
Edited by Richard Pomfret and John K. Wilson
From professional team sports to international events such as the Olympics and Tour de France, the modern sports industry continues to attract a large number of spectators and participants. This book, edited by Richard Pomfret and John K. Wilson analyzes the economic evolution of sports over the last 150 years, from a pastime activity to a big business enterprise. It begins at a time when entrepreneurs and players first started making money from professional sports leagues, through to the impact of radio and TV in the twentieth century, and onto the present day.

Apparent discrimination against Francophones from Quebec by National Hockey League (NHL) teams is a controversial topic in the academic literature examining professional ice hockey recruitment. While consensus has coalesced around the contention of Lavoie and Longley that significant discrimination is evident in the under-selection of Francophones for NHL rosters, we consider further the role of differing physical size between the regional populations from which players are drawn. Recent research on regional size differentials and consideration in this chapter of the size of players drafted since 1970 points toward a reconsideration of differences in physical size as an influence on ethnic inequalities.
