Auriemma and UConn turn attention to winning another title
Women's College Basketball
Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma, right, reacts as Connecticut's Gabby Williams (15) is congratulated by associated head coach Chris Dailey and embraced by assistant coach Marisa Moseley at the end of an NCAA college basketball game against South Caro
Jessica Hill
STORRS, Conn. (AP) As faux $100 bills adorned with coach Geno Auriemma's face rained down on the sellout crowd at UConn after the team's 100th consecutive win, the Hall of Fame coach waxed poetic about the Huskies' past and present.
It's the future though, that he's most interested in.
With 100 straight victories in the books, Auriemma and his top-ranked Huskies can turn their attention to the more important streak - a fifth consecutive national championship and 12th overall.
''Tonight they carried the torch across the finish line to 100 so to speak, they took the last baton and crossed the finish line,'' Auriemma said after the 66-55 win over South Carolina on Monday. ''If we win the national championship it is all theirs start to finish. I want to focus on trying to do that instead of worrying about all this other stuff. Don't get me wrong, it is a lot of fun, everybody gets a kick out of it, our players, our former players, the fans so I think that is great.''
UConn's past was out in full force Monday night. Sitting a few rows behind the Huskies bench was UConn women's basketball royalty with former greats Sue Bird, Tina Charles, Morgan Tuck and Breanna Stewart watching the milestone win.
They paved the way for the current success, including Tuck and Stewart being a huge part of the first 75 victories of this current streak.
''We're extremely conscious,'' guard Kia Nurse said of the team's history. ''We understand that everything that we have here, all the opportunities we have and the benefits that we have about being this program strictly come from what they've done to build it into what it is today. I think even in practices, when you're dead tired, you can see the banners on the wall with their names and understand that they went through it and they pushed through it and they got this to what it is.''
Auriemma's main priority with this team all along is to have them cut down the nets in Dallas in early April. He built this year's schedule - as he does many practices - to test his team, expecting them to fail before solving a challenge. He figured they would take some lumps early before hopefully coming together to make another March run.
The funny thing is, the Huskies haven't failed yet, winning their first 25 games against the nation's best. Look down the Top 25 and UConn's already beaten No. 2 Maryland, No. 4s Baylor and Florida State, No. 6 South Carolina, No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 8 Texas.
''I'm probably the most surprised person in the country,'' Auriemma said. ''I set the schedule up so that (the streak continuing) wouldn't happen, and it has happened. I'm flabbergasted to a certain extent.''
If that streak continues, they'll enter the NCAAs with 107 consecutive wins. That shouldn't be too hard since the Huskies haven't lost an American Athletic Conference game, going 75-0, since joining a few years back.
Six wins in the NCAAs would get UConn a 12th national championship. Then talk will turn to how long can the Huskies keep the run going?
UConn returns six of its seven rotation players and adds transfers Azura Stevens and Batouly Camara. Throw in the nation's top recruiting class and the Huskies could break Wayland Baptist's record of 131 consecutive wins set from 1953-58. Then what? 150 straight? 200 in a row?
Those numbers may seem crazy, but it's tough to bet against these Huskies right now.
Notes: The Monday night game drew the highest overnight rating on ESPN2 for any college basketball game this season - men's or women's on that network. It was the highest-rated women's college basketball regular season game since 2010. ... Of the 100 games, 56 have been decided by more than 40 points. Only two (Florida State and Maryland) were fewer than 10-point wins. ... UConn's milestone win drew social media praise from Kobe Bryant and Ellen DeGeneres .

"OY VEY, It's anudda Shoa..WTF? My Kosher Komrades did the Killing?"
Last fall [1988 —Ed.] the Moscow News reported the discovery by two archaeologist-historians of mass graves at Kuropaty, near Minsk, in the Soviet republic of Byelorussia.[1] The scholars at first estimated that the victims numbered around 102,000, a figure that was later revised to 250–300,000.[2] Interviews with older inhabitants of the village revealed that, from 1937 until June 1941, when the Germans invaded, the killings never stopped. "For five years, we couldn't sleep at night because of all the shooting," one witness said.
Then in March, a Soviet commission finally conceded that the mass graves at Bykovnia, [also spelled Bykivnia] outside of Kiev, were the result not of the Nazis' work, as formerly was maintained, but of the industry of Stalin's secret police. Some 200–300,000 persons were killed at Bykovnia, according to unofficial estimates.[3]
These graves represent a small fraction of the human sacrifice that an elite of revolutionary Marxists offered up to their ideological fetish. How many died under Stalin alone, from the shootings, the terror famine, and the forced-labor camps, is uncertain. Writing in a Moscow journal, Roy Medvedev, the dissident Soviet Marxist, put the number at around 20 million, a figure the sovietologist Stephen F. Cohen views as conservative.[4] Robert Conquest's estimate is between 20 million and 30 million or more,[5] while Anton Antonov-Ovseyenko suggests 41 million deaths between 1930 and 1941.[6]
And anudda holoHOAX bullshit story bites the dust. How many Holocau$t ™ lies have been told to the Goyim? At least 6 million.
The Bolshevik Jew led USSR was very good at mass-murder, even inventing the sadistic death van, using the vehicle's exhaust gas to kill people, which for decades had been wrongly ascribed to the Nazis:
"The gas wagon (dushegubka) was invented and used by the Soviet secret police NKVD in the late 1930s during the Great Purge. The vehicle had an air-tight compartment for victims, into which exhaust fumes were transmitted while the engine was running. The victims were gassed with carbon monoxide, resulting in death by monoxide poisoning and suffocation.
"Isay Berg's method was to strip the victims naked, tether them, plug their mouths and throw them into a closed truck [See top right and bottom images below]. Each van was disguised from the outside as a bread van. During transportation exhaust gases were piped into the body of the van. When delivered to the farthest (execution) ditch those arrested were already dead.
A horrific mass murder perpetuated by Jews that to this day, has not had the instigators investigated and punished. The most recent investigation, in 2001, was shut down.
More lies uncovered, from the group of ethnic gangsters that have murdered tens of millions, but you never read or see those atrocities, since your brain is too busy getting Holocausted 24/7.
"There's no business like Shoah Business!"
Honk, Honk
Stalin's Jews
We mustn't forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish
And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty dwarf."
Stop reading Goyim, get back to worshiping the most Holy Holocau$t ™ or else we'll knock down some more skyscrapers and this time, our (((MSM))) will blame it on right-wing nationalists.

BTS has landed at number one on the Billboard 200 once again, re-writing yet another chapter in K-pop history.
According to the official Billboard website on Monday, the boy band's new album 'Map of The Soul: Persona,' released last Friday, has already hit the pinnacle of Billboard's main album chart.
This is the third time a BTS album has scored a Billboard number 1, after their last albums 'Love Yourself: Tear' and 'Love Yourself: Answer' achieved the same feat.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Israel on Wednesday renewed its threat to attack Iranian military targets in Syria, after the two Muslim allies signed an accord on security cooperation.
"The accord concluded by [Syrian President] Bashar Assad and Iran constitutes a test for Israel: Our response will be loud and clear," Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz said on Israeli public radio.
"We will not allow Iran to establish itself militarily in Syria," he said.
"We will react in Syria with all our might against any Iranian target that threatens Israel, and if the Syrian army's air defence intervenes against us, it will pay the price."
Iran's military attache to Damascus said on Tuesday that his country's military advisers would remain in Syria under the defence agreement signed the previous day.
Israel has sought to avoid direct involvement in the conflict, but acknowledges carrying out dozens of air strikes in Syria to stop what it says are deliveries of advanced weaponry to its Lebanese enemy Hizbollah.

Expanding Opportunities
The career outlook in media and communications is exceptionally strong. Almost every organization today is a media organization -- they all have websites, social media accounts, run events, train and recruit employees using media, and generate money through advertising or solicitation of donors. That means that there are plenty of jobs for people with degrees like the ones we offer in the Park School.
Check out Deloitte's Media and Entertainment Outlook 2019 for an example of the burgeoning market.
Ryan Prunty (TVR '18) is a YouTube celebrity. He interned in both NYC and in Los Angeles at Lionsgate and HBO, and also is a freelance drone pilot. He's based in LA and helps YouTube celebrities promote their sites - and he got into it himself. He now has over 280k subscribers.
Careers You Never Imagined
It seems trite to say this - but it's true. We prepare you for jobs that don't even exist today. Think back even 10 years-- there were no social media directors or YouTube stars, or influencers or digital analysts -- all popular jobs and careers these days. And while the word "communications" may conjure up images of news anchors, film directors, or advertising execs, there are thousands of other roles. You can be in front of the camera or behind -- you can work primarily in an office or totally out in the field. You can have a steady job with pretty regular responsibilities or you can work "gig to gig" as a freelancer or entrepreneur.
As you progress in your degree in communications, you'll want to start looking at potential careers so that you can take advantage of courses, clubs, and internships that will lead to a job or offer of graduate study that you'll enjoy and for which you'll be qualified.
Conducting research will impact the direction of your search by helping you identify fields and careers more clearly. Also, doing careful research will help you market yourself more strategically and allow you to have a more focused conversation about your interests with potential employers.
Finally, consider the work environment. Many job sites in media are not in an office, but rather in a studio, in the field, or at client sites. Some jobs require similar tasks every day, while in other careers, no two days are alike.
But don't think of careers in communications as primarily revolving around just creating content. There are even more jobs as strategists, legal specialists, media planners, government and employee communications directors, event designers, curators, critics, and distribution and financial executives.
You can learn a lot by doing some online research and also by attending guest lectures, and networking with upper-level students and alumni.

The Gig-to-Gig Lifestyle of Entertainment Media
"Office cleaned out and that's a wrap on wrap for Ballers Season 5!! Absolutely enjoyed going to work everyday with such an amazing crew for the last four months. Thank you to everyone who had made this experience and production so special. From here, I am very excited to share that starting Monday I will now be working as the Production Secretary on Season 1 of Freeform's reboot of the show, Party of Five!!"
In the field of communications, the styles of work vary greatly. For instance, many careers in the entertainment industry (film and television) are "gig to gig" -- that is, people don't have full-time jobs but rather get contracts to work on a specific project or show -- and when it's over the entire crew disbands. Just think of film directors-- they don't have a steady job- rather they work on a series of films, sometimes with gaps of time in between projects. Many occupations in media are anything but 9-5.
The Fast-paced Life of News
Many careers in media, such as a being a multimedia journalist like Mary Kielar '15, require long hours in stressful situations. No two days are alike. While this is a rush of excitement for some people, others would find these conditions very difficult.
Melding Business and Communications
Careers in strategic communications, advertising, and public relations can be much more similar to those in business. While you might think they don't have the glamour of the entertainment or news industries, there are more stable jobs with specific career pathways and predictable schedules. For example, our alum Jusan Hamilton pursued a degree in Integrated Marketing Communications to land a job in his dream company, NASCAR where he is a fast-rising executive.

Sandra Oh - Biography
Ironically it was her family's initial antipathy towards her acting dream that spurred Canadian actress Sandra Oh on to Hollywood success. "I'm extremely grateful for every barrier my parents put in front of me," the Golden Globe winner once explained. "They tried to discourage me so thoroughly that the need to succeed defeated the need for my parents' approval. It didn't matter what any producer said, I'd already stood up to the most important people in the world."
Born in Nepean, Ontario on July 20, 1971, to Korean immigrants - entrepreneur father, John, and biochemist mum, Young-Nan Oh - Sandra entered the world of performing arts when she started ballet classes at age four. By the time she was ten, the bilingual scene stealer was taking drama courses and participating in school productions. "I was a typical drama freak who needed to express herself," Sandra remembers. "My favourite outfit was orange palazzo pants that I'd wear with this beat-up tuxedo jacket. And I'd have my hair up with a giant bow."
At 16, her acting career took a professional turn when she landed some TV commercials. But her breakthrough role came when she was cast in a 1989 short film entitled The Journey Home.
Despite her parents' reluctance she was determined to make her dreams a reality, and in 1991 moved to Montreal to study at the prestigious National Theatre School of Canada. "There was no changing her mind," admitted mum Young-Nan, who was concerned her daughter's career choice would lead to a difficult life with a slim chance of success. Sandra's determination, however, led to them eventually coming round and supporting her aspirations.
In 1993, not long after Sandra graduated, her older sister Grace persuaded her to try out for a TV production about the struggles of young poet Evelyn Lau. The Korean beauty beat 1,000 other hopefuls to the lead in the true story about a girl who ran away from home and got into drugs and prostitution before writing a best-selling novel at 18. Her performance earned her a best actress Gemini nod and the Cannes FIPA d'Or best actress award.
Just a year later, the starlet won her first Genie the prestigious Canadian film award - for her stellar portrayal of a young Chinese-Canadian woman caught between being a dutiful daughter and the desire to follow her dreams in Mina Shum's bittersweet movie Double Happiness.
Despite her success in Canadian film and TV, in 1996 the ambitious star decided LA was the only place to pursue bigger projects. "I wish I could stay in Canada... there's just not enough for me to do," said the young talent. "I'm not going to sit there, waiting around, being rejected and frustrated that there are no stories for me to tell."
It proved to be the right move for Sandra, who immediately landed a seven-season stint in comedy series Arli$$. From there she went on to star in Six Feet Under and had a recurring role as a detective in TV drama Judging Amy. In 1997, while still working on Arli$$, she made the leap to the silver screen, appearing alongside Rowan Atkinson and Burt Reynolds in Bean. She also had a small part in Waking The Dead with Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris, before starring with Darryl Hannah in 2000's Dancing At The Blue Iguana.
The following year, the now-established actress met director-writer Alexander Payne at a social event. "From having seen his films Citizen Ruth and Election, I knew he was cool," she recalled. "He was also gorgeous and personable and I really enjoyed being in his company."
The couple tied the knot two years later, on January 1, 2003, but split in 2005. It was while she was still married that the actress made two of her most memorable feature films. She starred alongside Diane Lane in the 2003 romantic comedy Under The Tuscan Sun and the following year appeared in Sideways, for which Alexander, in the role of director, won a best screenplay Oscar.
Sandra's international profile was raised further when, in March 2005, she landed the role of the ambitious surgical intern Dr Cristina Yang in TV medical drama Grey's Anatomy. The part earned her a best supporting actress Golden Globe in 2006; a glittering acknowledgment of success which she could share with her mother and father. "This is going in my parents' home," she said of the statue. "My parents are extremely pleased. They now know what the Golden Globes are…"

Donna Leon : Beastly Things
Donna Leon's international best-selling Commissario Guido Brunetti series has won her legions of passionate fans, reams of critical acclaim, and a place among the top ranks of international crime writers. Brunetti, both a perceptive investigator and a warm-hearted and principled family man, is one of the treasured characters of contemporary mysteries. Through her engaging Commissario, Leon has explored Venice in all its aspects: its history, beauty, architecture, seasons, food and social life, but also the crime and corruption that seethe below the surface of La Serenissima.
When the body of man is found in a canal, damaged by the tides, carrying no wallet, and wearing only one shoe, Brunetti has little to work with. No local has filed a missing-person report, and no hotel guests have disappeared. Where was the crime scene? And how can Brunetti identify the man when he can't show pictures of his face? The autopsy shows a way forward: it turns out the man was suffering from a rare, disfiguring disease: Madelung. It is a disease that usually affects alcoholics (although the autopsy shows in question was not one), predominantly affects Italians (it's less likely he was a tourist) and causes tremendous swelling of the upper body and neck. No one who saw the afflicted man would likely forget him.
With Inspector Vianello, Brunetti canvasses shoe stores, and soon discovers that the man in question was a veterinarian, Dr. Nava. Interviews with the man's estranged wife reveal that Nava had a second job at the Preganziol slaughterhouse on the mainland in Mestre. Also that he was having an affair with a co-worker, who he suspects is the beautiful and possibly ruthless Giulia Borelli.
Brunetti rarely ventures to the mainland, and is taken further out of his comfort zone upon witnessing the animals being slaughtered at Preganziol. But beyond his disgust, he suspects that something not quite right is going on out on the mainland. He interviews the other veterinarian, Meucci, who used to examine the animals to verify that they were fit for slaughter until his failing health forced him to leave. Signorina Elettra, Patta's highly efficient secretary with the skills to access all sorts of databases, digs up the fact that Meucci's credentials are shady. Perhaps it's enough to pressure him to reveal enough for Brunetti and Vianello to solve the case.
At the same time, animal rights and meat consumption are quickly becoming preoccupying issues at the Venice Questura, and in Brunetti's home. Signorina Elettra and Vianello are preaching to Brunetti about the negative impact of meat consumption. And he notes his daughter Chiara's ongoing loose vegetarianism.
Paola, Brunetti's wife, comes to him with ethical constraints of a different variety. She vaguely asks about the obligations to report an ongoing crime. He gets the details out of her eventually, of course: a visiting professor at her university is stealing books. With brilliant deviousness, Paolo brings it to an end.
As subtle and engrossing as ever, Leon's Beastly Things is immensely enjoyable, intriguing, and ultimately moving.

I had time between courses a few weeks ago so decided to take the family for a short break away from the city and TEFL training. Although I love Chiang Mai, it's always nice to climb mountain roads and drive through clouds with windows open and cold breezes filling the car. Something that surprised me many years ago was reading that the mountains north and west of the city are actually part of the eastern extremity of the Himalayan mountain range.
Touring Northern Thailand
Then again, it shouldn't have been a surprise to me because there is a marked similarity between some of the Himalayan hill stations I visited in India many years ago and places such as Mae Salong, Mae Hong Son and Doi Angkarn: cool temperatures, slow climbing trucks, mist, conifers, tea, rhododendrons and people wearing cheap knit wear. So, early Wednesday morning we set off. We had booked 2 nights at the Doi Angkhan Nature Resort
It's a roughly 170km journey of mainly beautiful tropical countryside driving from Chiang Mai along highways 107, 1178 and 1340 via Chang Dao and the King Naresuan stupa on 1178. The junction of the 1178 and 1340 is actually on the Burmese border, and I guess this is why check points are manned by soldiers, rather than police, along this stretch of road.
There are coffee shops all along these roads supplying fresh coffee grown in these mountains as part of the current King's successful opium crop substitution program. The coffee's delicious and cheap. I'm told, as I've never visited one, that the coffee tastes better than Starbucks. There's certainly a better view from most of these roadside coffee places and not a paper cup in sight.
The People of Northern Thailand
The ethnic mix of people in this corner of Thailand is also very interesting. There are many hill tribe villages including Padung, who are known for their elongated necks stretched by brass coils. There are also Muslim Jin Haw (galloping Chinese) villages. These are the guys who used to control trade in this part of the world with their mule transports and knowledge of mountain passes.
There are also villages of Kuomintang (KMT) Chinese nationalist soldiers forced to flee from the Communists to Thailand in 1949. Up until just a few years ago, it was the KMT and Khun Sa, the Shan warlord, who were responsible for much of the opium industry in the Golden Triangle. Incidentally, at the end of the small lane next to the SEE TEFL school in Chiang Mai is a very large and impressive house. The gates and walls are high and deny access to prying eyes. It's 'rumored' the little old Chinese lady that lives there is the wife of one of Khun Sa's deceased lieutenants.
The Road to Chang Dao
On the road to Chang Dao are several elephant camps. There is mixed opinion about elephant camps, as many of the elephants need to be 'broken' when young before they can be trained to perform; and this often involves beating them. I feel elephants are absolutely amazing creatures. When you get close and look in to their eyes, they lock on you and you can see intelligence. Their bulk suggests a lack of agility, but that's misleading as these animals dance through mud, mountain slopes and thick jungle like sure-footed Special Forces soldiers. You don't need to enter the camps to meet them either, as they can be seen munching on foliage just a few meters from the road's edge.
My wife's family owns a successful car services company in Chiang Mai named Amnuay Motor Air. Because of this, we have a top of the range car TV erupting out of the dashboard and hanging from the ceiling of our family car. Because of this, I have to listen to and watch continuous replays of my children's favorite cartoons whenever I'm driving. One of these cartoons is about the war elephant of King Naresuan, Khang Kluay Because of this, I was introduced to the story of this King and his heroic deeds. And because of this, I decided to stop at the King Naresuan stupa on our drive through the mountains.
King Naresuan, a Thai National Hero
This stupa was built, it's said, as an act of merit making by his siblings to this great Thai King who died in Wiang Haeng close to here in 1605 while campaigning against the Burmese. I knew little about this King until recently. There have been a few Thai movies about his life story which I watched but cynically dismissed the action and heroics as exaggerated. However, I have been researching, and it seems the movies are a fair reflection of history. This Thai King was truly amazing. It's a story all Thais know and a story foreigners who live here should know as well. Therefore, I've decided to dedicate the rest of this blog to his story.
King Naresuan is one of the most revered monarchs of Thai history. His victories over the Burmese during the years around the end of the 16th Century prevented Burma from consolidating their earlier military victories and hence extending further their empire to encompass large swathes of Siam. He also allied in the north Siam with the Shan, or Thai Yai, and the Lanna Kingdom of Chiang Mai, which led them to achieve independence albeit fleetingly from the Burmese empire centered on Pegu. In all senses of the word, he truly is a national hero to Thais.
King Naresuan in Burma
King Naresuan grew up as a Siamese prince in the Royal Burmese court at Pegu. He was a hostage held by the Burmese King, Bayinnaung of the Toungoo Dynasty, in order to prevent the prince's father, King Maha Thammarachathirat , from launching a rebellion against Burmese political influence of Ayudhya. While a captive, the prince, along with other royal hostages from the Burmese empire, was trained in the art of war by Portuguese mercenaries and the Burmese. A fellow student and childhood friend was the grandson of King Bayinnaung, Prince Minchit Sra. The prince's paths would fatally cross later at the battle of Nong Sarai (near Suphan Buri).
The Battle of Nong Sarai
The battle of Nong Sarai in 1592 was a pivotal battle of the Siam-Burmese wars of this period. Although vastly outnumbered, the Thais fought ferociously against their enemy. However, in opposition to the vastly superior numbers of the Burmese army, they started to retreat and were close to collapse. At that moment, in an almost unbelievable example of valor and leadership, King Naresuan riding on his royal war elephant Khang Kluay sought out Prince Minchit Sra while fighting ferociously through ranks of enemy soldiers.
When their elephants met, combat became face-to-face with both leaders standing on the heads of their elephants lurching at each other with sword and lance. It's said the fight was so ferocious that soldiers of both armies stopped fighting in order to stare in awe at the spectacle. A final slice of sword cut completely through the Burmese leader's body from shoulder to hip, and Siam had won the day. Without a leader, the Burmese stopped fighting and retreated to Pegu. King Naresuan became a Thai hero, and the date of the battle (January 18th) was adopted as a national holiday which is celebrated each year as Royal Thai Armed Forces Day.
King Naresuan and Fighting Roosters
Always associated with King Naresuan is fighting male chickens (I've avoided saying fighting cocks as it just didn't look or sound appropriate). At memorials to him around the country, there will be small concrete male chickens surrounding the spirit house. The reason for this is that while a captive of the Burmese, his fighting chicken beat the Burmese champion. Instead of accepting a material reward for winning, he requested freedom for Siam. Whether this story is true, or not, it certainly adds more patriotic fervor to his story.
It wasn't until 1767 that the Burmese were militarily strong enough to launch a new campaign against Siam. This time there was nobody with the tactical genius and personal courage of King Naresuan to lead the Siamese and Ayudhya was sacked – but that's another story. It's also a story that led indirectly to the start of the current Chakri dynasty of Thai Kings.

What will Trump build?
March 2, 2016 by Ed Hubbard
Ed Hubbard
Well, Super Tuesday is over, and as Republicans survey the rubble left in its wake, we need to get an answer from our front runner to this question: "Mr. Trump, what will you build?" The answer to that question will not only decide the fate of our party, but also our country.
As I described in my last post, I came of age as Reagan set about designing and building a New Republican Party. His blueprint called for creating a new conservative party that restored the edifice of Madisonian government built on the foundation of the individual, the family, faith, private enterprise, and local and state responsibility, and to relight the beacon of America to guide the world away from the darkness of communism and toward a model of freedom. He called his vision "A Shining City on a Hill," and he persuaded the GOP and the country to help him build it.
But almost as soon as he left office, all the old factions that he had tried to blend into this "new" party began to fight against each other to alter the blueprint to fit their own agendas. Soon, as we fought, the liberals and progressives reasserted themselves to continue their decades-long remodeling of our culture and politics away from the Madisonian model and towards a hyper-secular, European, democratic-socialist model of national, top-down governance. While we splintered, they remodeled; and, eventually, we and our elected leadership were reduced to simply forming picket lines of protest around the progressive worksite.
By 2009, many people had enough and wanted to break through the picket lines and tear down what the progressives were changing. By last summer, the anger of those wanting to stop the progressive work had reached a fever pitch, but our party leaders appeared incapable of doing anything but protest and picket.
Enter the great deal-maker and developer, Donald Trump. I, for one, do not believe that he was the best candidate to lead, restore, or unite our party going into the 2016 election; but, frankly that was never his intent. Instead, it is now clear that he planned to demolish both the Republican Party and the Washington "establishment" and start the construction work all over again. To those whose frustrations had boiled-over, Trump's demolition of the remnants of the New Republican Party of Reagan was welcome, because they viewed it as the first step toward demolishing all that was wrong with what had been built over the last generation since Reagan went home to California. But the problem is, none of us really know what Mr. Trump plans to build after the rubble is cleared (other than a wall paid for by Mexico), and many of us fear that he really has no plan for rebuilding America after the demolition is finished.
But a good real-estate developer—and Trump has been a very successful developer—does not start demolition work without a plan for what he will build in its place; nor does he start a historical restoration of a landmark without a researched plan for the restoration work. So, it is time for The Donald to show us his blueprint to "Make America Great Again."
This plan must not be just for one building, but must encompass rebuilding the entire "Shining City" that has been left in ruins by the work of modern progressives (and the neglect of post-Reagan conservatives). It must include clearing rubble and building new structures for a new century, as well as carefully designing restorations of great landmarks of our traditions and principles. It also must include a plan for relighting the beacon of freedom and stability to protect the world against the new threats we face in this century. If his design incorporates a strong foundation and infrastructure of the individual, family, faith, private enterprise, and local and state responsibility upon which a modern, Madisonian city will be built, I believe he eventually can persuade our party and our country to follow him to "Make America Great Again."
But if his plan is just to demolish the ruins of the "Shining City" without more, then we conservatives must stop this project now before we lose the last remnants of what we worked so hard to build over two generations.
Mr. Trump, if you truly want to "Make America Great Again," it is time to show us your plan.

I'm not holding my breath that you will an answer to that good question.
randy kubosh says
I voted for Trump. Trump is self funding his campaign. That's what scares all the insiders of the Republican Party. The Republican party elite knows they're not going to be able to control him.. The Republican Party elite and all the special interest groups associated with them is what's wrong with the Republican Party. Trump is transforming the party. It will be interesting to see how they will try to take Trump down. They need to be careful because they were about to lose people like me who have voted Republican all my life. Power to the people! I said it before and I'll say it again the Republican Party is changing and you better get on the Trump Train or you will be left behind!

IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE!
Donald Trump is a creation of the Repubs much like Frankenstein was a creation of Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The repeal of the fairness doctrine in 1987…
The main agenda for the doctrine was to ensure that viewers were exposed to a diversity of viewpoints. In 1969 the United States Supreme Court upheld the FCC's general right to enforce the Fairness Doctrine where channels were limited. But the courts did not rule that the FCC was obliged to do so.[4] The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the Doctrine. However, the proliferation of cable television, multiple channels within cable, public-access channels, and the Internet have eroded this argument, since there are plenty of places for ordinary individuals to make public comments on controversial issues at low or no cost at all.
uh oh, Scalia got involved…
In one landmark case, the FCC argued that teletext was a new technology that created soaring demand for a limited resource, and thus could be exempt from the Fairness Doctrine. The Telecommunications Research and Action Center (TRAC) and Media Access Project (MAP) argued that teletext transmissions should be regulated like any other airwave technology, hence the Fairness Doctrine was applicable (and must be enforced by the FCC). In 1986, Judges Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit concluded that the Fairness Doctrine did apply to teletext but that the FCC was not required to apply it.[12] In a 1987 case, Meredith Corp. v. FCC, two other judges on the same court declared that Congress did not mandate the doctrine and the FCC did not have to continue to enforce it.[13]
Shining city on a hill? Think again…
In 1985, under FCC Chairman Mark S. Fowler, a communications attorney who had served on Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign staff in 1976 and 1980, the FCC released a report stating that the doctrine hurt the public interest and violated free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
In August 1987, under FCC Chairman Dennis R. Patrick, the FCC abolished the doctrine by a 4-0 vote, in the Syracuse Peace Council decision, which was upheld by a panel of the Appeals Court for the D.C. Circuit in February 1989, though the Court stated in their decision that they made "that determination without reaching the constitutional issue."[16] The FCC suggested in Syracuse Peace Council that because of the many media voices in the marketplace, the doctrine be deemed unconstitutional, stating that:
" The intrusion by government into the content of programming occasioned by the enforcement of [the Fairness Doctrine] restricts the journalistic freedom of broadcasters … [and] actually inhibits the presentation of controversial issues of public importance to the detriment of the public and the degradation of the editorial prerogative of broadcast journalists. "
At the 4-0 vote, Chairman Patrick said,
" We seek to extend to the electronic press the same First Amendment guarantees that the print media have enjoyed since our country's inception.[17] "
The FCC vote was opposed by members of Congress who said the FCC had tried to "flout the will of Congress" and the decision was "wrongheaded, misguided and illogical.".[18] The decision drew political fire and tangling, where cooperation with Congress was at issue.[19] In June 1987, Congress attempted to preempt the FCC decision and codify the Fairness Doctrine,[20] but the legislation was vetoed by President Ronald Reagan. Another attempt to revive the doctrine in 1991 was stopped when President George H.W. Bush threatened another veto.[21]
Fowler said in February 2009 that his work toward revoking the Fairness Doctrine under the Reagan Administration had been a matter of principle (his belief that the Doctrine impinged upon the First Amendment), not partisanship. Fowler described the White House staff raising concerns, at a time before the prominence of conservative talk radio and during the preeminence of the Big Three television networks and PBS in political discourse, that repealing the policy would be politically unwise. He described the staff's position as saying to Reagan:
" The only thing that really protects you from the savageness of the three networks—every day they would savage Ronald Reagan—is the Fairness Doctrine, and Fowler is proposing to repeal it![22] "
Instead, Reagan supported the effort and later vetoed the Democratic-controlled Congress's effort to make the doctrine law.
And then along comes Mary…
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the English author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley that tells the story of a young science student Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque but sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
During the rainy summer of 1816, the "Year Without a Summer", the world was locked in a long cold volcanic winter caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815.[9] Mary Shelley, aged 18, and her lover (and later husband) Percy Bysshe Shelley, visited Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The weather was consistently too cold and dreary that summer to enjoy the outdoor holiday activities they had planned, so the group retired indoors until dawn.
Sitting around a log fire at Byron's villa, the company amused themselves by reading German ghost stories translated into French from the book Fantasmagoriana,[10] then Byron proposed that they "each write a ghost story".[11] Unable to think of a story, young Mary became anxious: "Have you thought of a story? I was asked each morning, and each morning I was forced to reply with a mortifying negative."[12] During one evening in the middle of summer, the discussions turned to the nature of the principle of life. "Perhaps a corpse would be re-animated", Mary noted, "galvanism had given token of such things".[13] It was after midnight before they retired, and unable to sleep, she became possessed by her imagination as she beheld the grim terrors of her "waking dream".[14]Shelley incorporated a number of different sources into her work, one of which was the Promethean myth from Ovid. The influence of John Milton's Paradise Lost, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, are also clearly evident within the novel. Mary is likely to have acquired some ideas for Frankenstein's character from Humphry Davy's book Elements of Chemical Philosophy, in which he had written that "science has … bestowed upon man powers which may be called creative; which have enabled him to change and modify the beings around him …". References to the French Revolution run through the novel; a possible source may lie in François-Félix Nogaret's Le Miroir des événemens actuels, ou la Belle au plus offrant (1790): a political parable about scientific progress featuring an inventor named Frankénsteïn who creates a life-sized automaton.[45]
The only radio stations available In many rural parts of the United States, are right wing leaning anti Obama smear machines. Indeed, Rush, Sean, Laura, Mark and other hate spewers are the only daily news/information that many "country folk" have access to. They are purveyors of only one viewpoint. Is it any wonder that Congress is controlled by Republicans? Donald Trump is a Frankenstein creation of the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine by the Repubs…
I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion. Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.[15]
Fat Albert says
LOL-ROTFL!!!!!!! "The only radio stations available In many rural parts of the United States, are right wing leaning anti Obama smear machines." In liberal speak that means anybody that doesn't carry the Democrat party line. . . . . .
I'm sure you'd be much happier with the government controlling everything we see and hear, thankfully more rational heads prevailed.
As for Trump being the creation of the Republican party – perhaps, but that means that Hillary Clinton is the creation of the Democrats.
ROTFL? Roll On The Floor Laughing? I would pay $24.56 to watch a video of you rolling on the floor, Fat. Seriously. And are you sure you are sure that I'd be happier with the government controlling everything we see and hear? That's lugubrious Fat, kinda like your reply to my comment to Ed's post.
$24.56?? You're not only a liberal, you're a cheapskate! You want video of me? Fine, but it isn't cheap. Multiply by a factor of 1000 and we can talk – otherwise you'll just have to fantasize.
Ed Vidal says
Donald Trump is pussy and a coward. He just backed away from opposition at a rally in Chicago. He tucked tail and ran when confronted by protesters.
Ted Cruz's campaign has always been about courageous conservatism, and Trump and his supporters do not measure up.
You cannot call yourself a Texan if you support Trump.

Kieran's story
Let's celebrate the journey of Kieran, a young person from North Lanarkshire who achieved his career goals in 2021. If you're looking to take the next step to secure employment in 2021, please give Routes to Work a call on 0800 783 4731 to find out how we can support you.
I would like to celebrate the journey of Kieran, a young aspiring tradesperson who came to Routes to Work in October last year for support.
Kieran heard about the great work we do at Routes to Work and self-referred by calling our freephone number, he went through our registration process and was allocated a caseworker, Annemarie Toner.
annette's story
Annette initially attended Routes to Work in October 2018 after being referred from Bellshill Job Centre.
Annette, who is 50 years old and lives in Bellshill, had not worked in 30 years due to raising her family and caring responsibilities for other family members.
Whilst attending Routes to Work, Annette and her Caseworker discussed the possibility of going back to work as an option.
However, Annette's confidence was low and she did not feel she had the necessary skills or experience to get back into the work environment. With the assistance of her Caseworker, she agreed to being referred to the Routes to Work Skills Team to support her in gaining the relevant training in relation to her employment needs.
After completing her REHIS Food Hygiene and First Aid qualifications in March of this year, Annette was referred to our partner - Community Learning and Development - Adult learning, for support with her CV.
Whilst waiting on the childcare vacancies to be released, her Caseworker and Skills Trainer discussed other options that would be suitable and in line with her recent training. Annette was keen to consider roles in the catering, cleaning and care industries.
She was then referred to our in-house Employer Link Worker (Sarah) whereby her needs were identified and she was supported with interview preparation. Subsequently she was then referred for interview with a care organisation based in Motherwell. Annette was successful and offered the position with them.
Routes to Work covered the costs of her disclosure application and on confirmation of successful disclosure, Annette took up her new role as a Support Worker on 7th August this year.
On commencing work with her new employer, Routes to Work supported Annette financially in the transition between benefits to earnings. She was then referred directly to our In-work Support Team, to ensure that she is fully supported for the first 6 months whilst in employment. This service enables the client to gain support as and when required in relation to financial and practical issues that may arise.
Annette said, "I am loving it. Being in work has changed my life for the better."
Sharon Stobbart is one client who has benefited from the SQA level 4 Employability Award: "Through family commitments of caring for my disabled daughter, I never thought that I would have the time for myself to pursue the career I had always wanted… to become Self-Employed as a caterer.
Fifty-five-year-old James faced a number of barriers whilst trying to get back into work. In constant pain due to musculo-skeletal issues, he could no longer carry out his physical work as a painter and decorator. As a result he was unemployed for over 10 years and was claiming Employment and Support Allowance.
Robert gartshore
A security guard of some 17 years standing, Robert Gartshore suddenly found himself in the position of having to seek employment in his late 50s – an extremely daunting prospect for anyone so far into their working life.
MATHEW FISHER
Mathew registered with Routes to work in September 2017. Mathew worked closely with his caseworker and was seen regularly throughout his journey. After Mathew was taken through the full registration process, his case worker put in place a series of interventions around CV development and ELW referrals. These interventions were put in place quickly to best support Mathew.
COLIN CRUMLEY
Colin registered with RTW in November 2017. Colin built up a good working relationship with his case worker through the development of his CV and referral for various job opportunities. Colin also received interview support to prepare him for up and coming interviews. Colin retained close contact with his case worker throughout his journey, leading on to two job interviews.
PETER WALKER
Peter had been unemployed since 2005. He registered with Routes to Work and met his case worker to discuss his future options and choices of work. Peter highlighted that he would enjoy working in a warehouse/production work environment. Peter also had a desire to be a Care Assistant and had a car so he felt he could move around and support others.
The case worker agreed that care work was a good option for Peter and discussed some options for short training courses in Care with him. Peter gave the training options strong consideration and they both agreed an action plan of training and intensive job searching. Within a month, Colin had attended several relevant courses: REHIS, Intro to Care, Care job roles and skills, CV Cover Letters. Colin also undertook additional First Aid training and moving and handling. He successfully completed all of this training with a high pass rate.


Whilst tricky Brexit negotiations continue, Gibraltar has upped its license fees and lowered its gross revenue taxes for gambling businesses, in an attempt to convince operators to stay.
According to Gibraltar's Minister for Financial Services and Gaming, Albert Isola, these amendments were effective as of his budget announcement earlier in the week.
This announcement will see B2C gambling companies, including sports betting services and casino gaming firms, pay 0.15% tax on annual gross revenue. This represents a 0.75% drop on the previous rate.
Isola said that the government had considered many ways in which it could amend the previous 'flat rate' gambling charges that had been instated in 2005.
He accepted that the annual license fees have increased significantly, with every B2C license set to cost around £100,000 ($132,000) and every B2B license to cost around £85,000 ($112,000).
According to the minister, there are some winners and some losers, as with any new tax scheme.
Isola explained that firms likely to experience the greatest impact had been officially warned of the impending tax and licensing update, and of the reasons behind it.
The Gibraltar-based remote gambling industry is, he said, the largest in Europe, and potentially the world. It does, however, find itself swimming upstream. According to Isola, this change in current is caused by uncertainties around Brexit and EU market access.
Presently, gambling firms in Gibraltar hold around 30 remote licenses.
Further, the minister explained that the Gambling Division is in close talks with the Government and the Gibraltar Financial Service Commission about the use of DLT and cryptocurrency in gambling, and about ways in which these can boost the economy and young gambling businesses.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN WISCONSIN
The state of Wisconsin has one of the most limited medical marijuana laws in the country. You could basically say that it has none. In 2014 a bill was signed allowing only patients suffering from seizure disorders (such as epilepsy) the use of CBD oil without any psychoactive effect (0% of THC). The patients should also possess a written confirmation from a licensed physician in order to be allowed to use CBD.
As currently there is no way for patients to obtain such CBD in the state, it makes it pretty much unworkable for anybody, as crossing the state lines in order to buy CBD oil in another state is not really an option as well.
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IN WISCONSIN
The cultivation, sale, and possession of cannabis for recreational purposes are illegal in Wisconsin.
Is It Legal To Travel With Medical Marijuana?
Any amount of cannabis is seen as a crime in Wisconsin. Getting caught will get you in a lot of trouble to say the least. Some cities is in the state are said to have decriminalized small amounts of cannabis for personal usage, but the official state law sees any possession as a crime.
Getting caught for possession of cannabis can land you in jail for up to 6 months with a fine of up to $1,000, if it is a first offense.
Any subsequent offense is good for up to 3,5 years in jail and a fine that can go up to a whopping $10,000.
A bill to legalize both medicinal and recreational marijuana was introduced in 2017, but as this has happened before and has been shot down before, we are not aware of any possible law changes in the (near) future in the state of Wisconsin regarding medical and/or recreational cannabis.
