Republican strategists both associated with and independent of GOP nominee Gabriel Gomez's campaign are growing increasingly frustrated by what they see as the unwillingness of establishment donors and conservative activists to get fully behind the candidacy of the first-time candidate for Massachusetts Senate.
"Republican donors around the country have demanded for years that we find candidates who have appeal outside the normal conservative coalition, as well as those who have interesting private sector backgrounds. You couldn't find anyone who fits that description better than Gabriel Gomez," said Brad Todd of OnMessage, Inc., the GOP consulting firm that handles strategy, media and polling for Gomez's campaign.
Gomez runs well in most polls, trailing the Democratic nominee, longtime Rep. Edward J. Markey, by as few as 3 or 4 points to as many as 10 points. He certainly appears to have at least a chance of pulling off a major upset in the June 25 special election, but many Republican contributors have yet to be convinced that the contest is competitive.
Of course, Republican skepticism about Gomez's prospects becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy if he can't raise enough money to compete with the better funded Markey, who has had about a 3-to-1 spending advantage.
Gomez, like Scott P. Brown in the 2010 special election, is running as a moderate Republican, which is the only kind of Republican with any chance of winning a Senate contest in the Bay State. But many conservative activists seem less enthusiastic about Gomez than they were about Brown in 2010.
Shortly before Massachusetts' 2010 special election, RedState's Erick Erickson wrote, "Scott Brown is not a conservative." But he also observed that Brown would "vote against Obamacare and he'd vote against a second stimulus," and that "conservative and liberal Republicans are united behind Scott Brown." Erickson has been notably silent about this special election.
For some Republicans, the Gomez-Markey matchup apparently doesn't have the urgency that Brown's race with Martha Coakley had.
Back then, conservatives knew that a Brown victory would deny Senate Democrats their 60-seat majority, and believed it would derail President Barack Obama's health care initiative and deliver a message about his stimulus package and overall agenda. On the other hand, a Gomez victory would get the GOP to 46 seats in the Senate, up from 45.
For some Republicans, it's simply unlikely for lightning to strike twice in Massachusetts. GOP contributors also believe that Democrats are better prepared for this special election than they were in 2010, and even if Gomez were to win, he'd have a hard time holding the seat in 2014.
Democrats don't seem particularly concerned about Markey, at least at this point. They generally concede that the contest is competitive but argue that the current political environment in Massachusetts and nationally is so different now – much better for Democrats than it was in 2010 – that they have a hard time believing that Gomez can overtake Markey.
And Democrats argue that whatever Gomez's appeal, it doesn't come close to Brown's.
But while 2013 certainly isn't 2010 and Gomez isn't Brown, you'd think Republicans — contributors and activists from both wings of the party — would see the Massachusetts special election as an opportunity to build momentum and deliver another blow to a White House staggering from criticism from both sides of the aisle on the IRS and Associate Press controversies.
And a victory by Gomez would give Republicans one more officeholder who isn't yet another old, white guy. For a party seeking to broaden its appeal, that would be no small development.

Cleveland Indians: Michael Brantley out after June 16 collision
Michael Allen Blair/Digital First Media Indians' outfielder Michael Brantley gives a high five to Mike Aviles after Brantley scored on a single by David Murphy during the fifth inning of a 5-1 Indians' victory over the Royals at Progressive Field on April 24.
By Jim Ingraham |
PUBLISHED: June 17, 2014 at 7:32 p.m. | UPDATED: July 15, 2021 at 8:22 a.m.
Indians manager Terry Francona drew up two lineups for the game June 17. The one he used was the one without Michael Brantley. Brantley was scratched from the lineup due to lingering discomfort in his head and neck area from his collision at second base in the
game on June 16
. 'He felt good when he got here, but when he started to ramp up for the game, he didn't feel as good,' said Francona. 'So we took him out of the lineup and sent him for more tests. With head injuries we're always going to error on the side of caution.'

A stockbroker is a professional individual who acts as a mediator between the clients and the traders. They make trades on behalf of their clients and gets the work done easily. Many a time they are a good advisor and helps you on investing. Basically, there are two types of brokers – traditional stockbrokers or full-service stock brokers and online stock brokers or discount stock brokers. Compared to traditional brokers, online brokerage charges are less.

However, if you are confident about buying or selling a stock which will generate a massive income, you can assist your brokers to get your work done.

Choosing a stockbroker is a tough choice and it needs proper attention. A right choice can turn out your greatest asset and make you ahead of the pack. On the contrary, if you slip on making a poor choice your chunk of change will fail to deliver the goods and meet your desired expectations.

However, before choosing a broker, be mindful about your budget. Hire a person who is helpful and has proficiency in his work and can work for you at a reasonable commission. Don't go for someone who will eat all your profits and leave you barefoot with no money in hand.
Choose a person who is diligent as well as dedicated towards the work. Now a question might be popping in your head; looking at the physical appearance how is it possible to identify his dedication, isn't it? The work history which you looked for is the map for your search. Work history will clearly highlight the broker's strengths and weaknesses. A dedicated broker will never disappointment you rather do his duty and keep your trade going.

Simba make some mattresses, you might have seen the adverts that shows a cross section of the mattress in question. This year they are joining forces with charity Crisis to create the Simba Art Collective. Simba have commissioned five contemporary artists to screen print twenty mattresses each.
You read it right, that's twenty mattresses per artist; I don't know quite how you'd go about doing that. Maybe they make the screen-printing machines big enough but that's not our problem.
All we have to do is check out all of the mattresses, work out where you'd put something of that size and buy one. All of the money from each of the mattresses/prints go straight to Crisis. Simba are also donating an additional 5% of all mattress sales throughout November and December so if you get a non-printed one you can also partake in the charitable donation and you can even donate directly here.
The end goal of this is to help Crisis carry out Crisis at Christmas where they prepare an amazing 33,000 meals and provide companionship and cheer to 11,000 people.
The mattresses are available at Simba and are £599 for a UK Double or £699 for a King Sized.

Lauren L.
photographer / texan / christian
The first time I saw snow was January 7, 2014. I'm a 26-year-old man of Jamaican heritage who spent his childhood playing frisbee under palm trees and never figuring out how to float. That first flurry was magical. I couldn't see the intricacy that everyone always touts, I was just excited to finally experience something I missed for 23 years. By the next day, I was over it. My joints ached, I had slipped on some ice and couldn't figure out how to layer so I was both sweaty and freezing. That's the nature of the new, exciting, eventually banal and then just your everyday. But in that every day, I learned a respect for resistance I didn't have before. Last time I saw Lauren, she was in her mid-twenties and hadn't found the respect for this "aforementioned resistance" just yet. Now three kids and a million stunning images later we sat in her living room flanked by plants, light and the sounds of joyful children finding new trouble to discover.
"In life, you will toil, you will create, you will love, you will laugh and you will experience all of these incredible emotions and it will be simultaneously difficult and beautiful."
On the cold
"There is a depth that comes with wintering. I'm glad that I've experienced the depth of wintering and what that does to the creative process. It makes more authentic images.
There's a sense of suffering that comes when you get 36 inches of snow. You're isolated. Your car is completely buried. The streets are a mess. Your neighbors are using their pickup trucks to try and smash their way through it, and you're trying to dig yourself out. All of that just does something to you. It makes your art more honest because it's fought for.
In Texas, it's so hot. Things are scorched and there's a sense of death that comes in the summer. Even still, it's not debilitating to walk outside. You don't have to physically break your way outside. That's not to say life is easy in Texas. They each have their own challenges. That physical challenge, however, I've found creates a deeper image and deeper creative process."
On moving to New Haven
"After Matthew, my husband, got into Yale and we decided to move, my father in law said to me, "you're going to find who you are and you are going to become stronger because of that."
I have three older brothers, and I felt like as a child what I needed to do in order to be successful was to just conform and be pretty, as defined by a white evangelical suburban town in Texas.
Which can be very difficult and confining at times. It doesn't produce freedom in the sense of what you can discover and what you can learn. Comparing that to New Haven is like we live in a foreign country now."
On being a southern woman
"I always wanted to not feel any pressure to wear makeup in Dallas but I just never allowed myself to be free.
Here, in New Haven, there is a sense of openness, welcoming, and variety. It's OK to be a strong confident woman here. Now, I'm not saying that it's not OK to be a strong confident woman in Texas. I just feel as a woman that there's a that there's a system that you need to operate under. Otherwise, you're seen as too outspoken, too brash, too smart, too intelligent. And nobody would say it.
It's very southern in the sense that there's a code by which people operate. Breaking that code doesn't really happen. Doing so swiftly brands you as an outsider. Here, in New Haven, I haven't really experienced the feeling of being a cultural outsider.
It's more like oh this woman chooses to dress in that, Maybe she loves the outdoors. If there is a woman in business attire, maybe she is a CEO or an attorney. It's all equally strong, equally respected and equally feminine.
The freedom of not having to operate in a system where you need to fit in to be beautiful, to be successful, or talented and has been really freeing for me as an artist and as a human."
On marriage
"I think one way that women feel confined is they are taught that they need to be beautiful. They need to be well-kept. They need to be a supportive spouse. And that's not really something I experience, here in New Haven or with Matthew.
What I experience in New Haven is that as a spouse, I want to be educated. I want to be thoughtful. I want to be respectful. I want to honor you and our roles together. And I want to grow and have goals together. My "job" to be beautiful or to fit a certain physical world is not at all a thought that I have.
So that's freeing. That is freedom to learn, to grow and to discover. If I want to do a project that requires me to be gone from my family, Matthew is completely supportive of that. I'm not bound to not have these dreams and to complete them. There's a sense of partnership and working together where my role as the woman is not to solely tend to the family, it's to partner with my partner. We nurture each other's dreams and our family. It's a dance, a beautiful dance, but it's one that's very supportive of one another and supportive of these darling three humans."
On sacrifices
"It's been easier for me to photograph weddings while tending to my children because it's on the weekends. Matthew can be home with kids and that for the family function has been what has been easiest for us. It's essential to me to be at home with them and helped develop them into strong people.
With all of them going to school this next year, I feel that my career is shifting to and that's exciting. It allows me to dream about architectural work and more justice projects I'm really eager to do.
I made those sacrifices when we had children. Lucy was born when I was 24. That's so young. It rocked our world and changed things. And I'm really glad it happened that way, but career-wise I made that decision of shooting weddings because functionally that worked better for family life."
On craftsmanship
"I feel like there is a resurgence of craftsmanship that's happening all over America. There are artists and makers that are making things and resurrecting a sense of quality. But largely, especially in suburbia, where I grew up, it's this idea of whatever's cheapest, whatever's fastest, whatever is most easily accessible, that's what I'm going to buy for my home. That's what I'm going to use for my children and that's what I'm going to use for myself because it's easy, fast, and cheap.
And what that destroyed any sense of artisanship in our culture. It destroys any sense of slow thoughtful, contemplative reasonable living. It's gone. The fabric of society operates in having something that's cheap, easy and quick.
And I don't value that. I think it's a part of the calling of the makers and artists of the world to make their voice strong and loud and live in a different way, to show pride in craftsmanship.
We went to Denmark this summer and I was so inspired by the lifestyle of the Danes. The whole culture is based on this concept of what is beautiful and functional for the people. How can we improve lives?
There's a high emphasis on design, beauty, and craftsmanship. All these things that have real value. And I think that impacts their cultural personality. It creates people who are concerned about sustainability and transcendent beauty that will outlive them.
We need more of that in America. We need to listen to the artists. We need to listen to the quiet, contemplative ones. We don't need to listen to our pocketbooks but rather to what will help grow a nation. Not just continue to create short-term gains."

Drunken driver gets 30 days for injuring man
WISCONSIN RAPIDS - A 60-year-old Marshfield man charged in connection with a hit-and-run crash that left a man with numerous injuries was sentenced Tuesday to 30 days in jail.
Robert D. Purkapile was given work release with his jail sentence for causing injury by drunken driving and failure to stop at the scene of a crash in connection with a November 2014 crash that left a man with pelvic fractures, a fractured skull, a concussion, cuts and a chipped vertebra. It was Purkapile's first drunken driving conviction. Seven trials had been scheduled and canceled in the case before it resulted in a plea agreement and Tuesday's sentencing.
According to court documents, Purkapile had a blood-alcohol content of 0.229 percent, nearly three times the legal limit for driving in Wisconsin, when his pickup hit a man at the intersection of North Central Avenue and Arnold Street, Marshfield.
At 9:35 p.m. Nov. 7, 2014, a Marshfield officer responded to the report of the crash. When she arrived at the scene, she saw the victim lying in the intersection and someone covering him with a blanket, according to court documents. A witness pointed out a red pickup parked in a nearby lot, according to documents.

RELATED: Two injured in suspected DWI crash
The officer said she saw the pickup driver pulling out of the parking lot and away from the crash, and she followed him and pulled him over near the intersection of West Arnold Street and Walnut Avenue, according to documents.
Purkapile, who was driving the truck, looked straight ahead when the officer came to his window and began talking to him. She asked whether he was aware that he hit someone and he said he was, according to documents. When she asked why he drove away, Purkapile said he got scared.
Purkapile said he never saw the man in front of him before the crash, according to the documents. The officer found a dent in the front of the pickup and fibers that appeared to be from the victim's jacket.
During Purkapile's sentencing Tuesday, Wood County Circuit Judge Nicholas Brazeau Jr. also revoked Purkapile's license for one year and ordered Purkapile to install an ignition interlock device on his vehicle, undergo an alcohol assessment and any counseling deemed necessary, attend a victim impact panel and pay $2,176.
The victim and his insurance company have filed a civil suit against Purkapile and his insurance company in Wood County Circuit Court. That case has not yet concluded.

Gov. Patrick issues commutation and 4 pardons
PUBLISHED: November 10, 2014 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: July 11, 2019 at 12:00 am
BOSTON (AP) — Governor Deval Patrick has made his first commutations and pardons as he prepares to leave office in January.
Patrick approved the commutation request of Deanne Hamilton, who has served more than half of a 7.5 year sentence for a 2007 drug conviction on cocaine possession, with intent to distribute the drug in a school zone. He also granted pardons to four people who have been out of prison for years: Jeffrey Snyder, Guy James Coraccio, Thomas Schoolcraft, and True See Allah.
If approved by the Governor's Council, Hamilton would become the first person in the state to have a prison sentence commuted in 17 years. Massachusetts' last commutation, which shortens but does not expunge a criminal sentence, came in 1997 under Republican Gov. William Weld.

Greg Peterson of Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers Appointed to Special Senate Commission on Housing
Boston, MA (May 7, 2015): Greg D. Peterson, a partner with Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers, PC, a Boston-based law firm, has been appointed to serve on the newly-created Special Senate Commission on Housing. The Special Commission has been tasked by Senate President Stanley Rosenberg to develop a path toward a 21st century housing policy reform measure. The Special Commission is expected to study the serious shortage and high cost of housing in Massachusetts, especially in the eastern half of the state, which has priced many young families out of the housing market, leaves homeless families in motels, has failed to address the housing needs of low and moderate income seniors, and threatens to undermine the ability of Massachusetts businesses to attract, hire and retain employees.
The Special Senate Commission is made up of members of the Senate, the administration, advocates, academics, and business representatives. Attorney Peterson was appointed as a representative of the Real Estate Bar Association, of which he is a former President. The commission is being chaired by Senator Linda Dorcena Forry, with Senate Majority Leader Harriet L. Chandler serving as vice-chair.
Attorney Peterson has extensive experience in real estate law and environmental law, and played a significant role in the drafting of the Smart Growth Zoning Act, Chapter 40R of the Massachusetts General Laws, its companion statute, Chapter 40S, which obliges the state to pay the marginal education costs of children residing in a Chapter 40R development, and the Expedited Permitting Act. He has served on his community's Planning Board and chaired its Affordable Housing Trust, where he spurred the development of rental housing for low and moderate income seniors and persons with intellectual disabilities. He has been repeatedly honored by U.S. News & World Report as a "Best Lawyer" in real estate law and environmental law.

The Lowdown
Object Of My Affection
Track Marks
Modern racetracks are moving upmarket. It's an unnecessary trend
My first racetrack was a one-third-mile dirt stockcar oval. Inside the front gate a woman in a plywood booth sold safety glasses. Safety glasses? As cars pitched into the corner, debris wicked up and over the concrete barrier and whorled into a typhoon of rock, dirt, spent fuel, lost motor oil, baked antifreeze and the aerated remains of a brown slurry dumped on the track to keep dust down. This brown goop, a byproduct of the pulp-and-paper industry, was death's fragrance. Pungent, putrid, and capable of, I was convinced as a teen, inducing hallucinations. I have always been very fond of racetracks.
Racetracks were once like dive bars in industrial towns. A place to go to do what needed to be done. To race. Or, at the bar, to drink. But changes are afoot. I passed through Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and stopped at a low-down tavern I'd visited years before. But the men slumped on the bar that had been laid low by failed marriages and lost jobs had been swept to the gutter. Now the bar was populated by handsome men and strapping women sipping organic microbrews. The mood was upbeat and pleasant. No-one was on a bender. The bar's original clientele had been steelworkers, but the blast furnaces that once provided them with work had been repurposed as tourist attractions.
The changes that have happened to racetracks are no less dramatic. The word amenity, as applied to a track, once meant outhouse. But recent converts to racetracks want more. This new breed of affluent sportscar and superbike owner wants to exercise their vehicle in a place that doesn't look like post-industrial Detroit. The humble racetrack has been reimagined as an experience centre. While watching MotoGP and F1 we've seen the great tracks of Europe. And Barber, in Alabama, has gated-community-worthy lawns and gardens. Circuit of the Americas, in Austin, is a track that goes on for days.
The corporatization of racetracks isn't necessarily a negative. But amenities aren't what's important. What matters is what's below. When your knee is skimming the track at 90 mph, the comfort of the chairs in the conference centre is irrelevant. As is the water pressure in the showers or the preparation of the beef carpaccio in the restaurant. What matters at a racetrack is the track.
Shannonville Motorsport Park, a staple of car and motorcycle club racing in central Canada—and the subject of these photographs—is dog-eared and downtrodden. I grew up 10 miles from this track, and with no other connection to my hometown anymore, Shannonville feels like a home. I've had good races here. And I've thrown bikes to the sky and broken bones here. While riding at Shannonville, it's necessary to scan the surface as carefully as I would rock-and-root-strewn single-track aboard a mountain bike. Shannonville's mis-matched patches and weeds and bumps and more bumps make racing treacherous.
Shannonville Motorsport Park is for sale. My advice for the next owner? The washrooms are fine. I don't mind jiggling the flusher to stop the toilet from running. And the peeling paint on the grandstand? On Pinterest it's called patina. And the uki sign that's lost the letters Suz? Leave it. We know what it says. Just sink whatever's in your budget into smooth, fresh pavement. The rest is irrelevant.
Every racer needs to start somewhere. Around here, that's Shannonville.
Before the great recession of '08 crowds filled the grandstand for big races. Even regional races drew a crowd. After a decade of lean attendance, numbers are rebounding. More racers, too.
Overshoot the corner at the end of the back strait and you're straight into the starting blocks for the drag strip. At 150 mph, it's an eye-opener.
This is not a miniature Japanese garden. This is the racetrack. The optimum racing line is one that keeps you away from on-track shrubbery.
Throw the ball through the tire and win a stuffed duck. Shannonville's aesthetic is reminiscent of the rough-and-tumble fairs that come to the countryside in fall.
Poor Suzuki just can't catch a break. Signage isn't removed my man, but by the ravages of time. The freeze-thaw cycles of our northern climate are as cruel to structures as they are to man.
Business is...slow. But with a cool '70s typeface the Shannonville logo is so out of style it's back in style. But about that pavement...


Crowdfunding is still relatively new but should still be considered as a viable source of equity. Nowadays, it is providing money for everything from charity campaigns to technological innovations.
When should investors and businesses look to get involved in a crowdfunding opportunity?
According to Cap Willey, Managing Director of the Tax Group at CBIZ Tofias, Kreston's USA member firm in Boston, we need to carefully analyse three key benefits and their risks before taking the plunge.
– Access – Fundrise, Crowdfunder and GoFundMe are examples of crowdfunding portals that can be used to reach new and accredited investors. They have to follow rules set by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to be accepted as accredited investors. Companies are permitted to raise a maximum aggregate amount of $1 million through crowdfunding in a 12-month period.
– Liquidity – the necessity of waiting long-term before liquidity requires a different mindset from the investor. The benefit of liquidity also highlights one of its key risks that individuals who take part in crowdfunding generally do not have the same power of resources as those who choose the traditional market.
– Fractional ownership – more partial owners are allowed in crowdfunding through its investor pool model.
If your enterprise is new to crowdfunding go for a project which best fits it as a single aspect of the overall equity package.

CAFOD MEMORIAL WALK
On a Saturday in July a small, but dedicated group of walkers, from the parish of The Good Samaritan in Burnley completed a memorial walk of 4.5 miles along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. The walk raised an amazing £660 for the work of CAFOD around the world.
Twelve parishioners walked from Barden Lane to Junction 12 of the M65 in Brierfield along the canal and returned via the same route. The group were made up of people from the three churches of St Mary's, St John the Baptist's and Christ-the-King in Burnley, which now make up the newly formed parish of The Good Samaritan.
For over 35 years, the three churches of East Burnley have generously supported the work of CAFOD in the developing world. St John's has had a CAFOD group who have met regularly over all those years, and of course as time has passed many group members and supporters have gone to the Lord. Therefore, the group members decided to mark the passing of all these wonderful people by having a "Memorial Sponsored Walk". Parishioners were asked if they would like to make a donation towards CAFOD's work in memory of a family member or friend who had been involved in or supported our work. Along with their donation they were to able add the names of their deceased family or friends to a memorial list or place the names within the donation envelope. All these names of loved ones were remembered at various points along the route.
During the walk, around 60 individual and four family names were read out and prayers offered up for them. It was decided that the money raised would be spent on the following items from CAFOD's World Gifts catalogue/project: 10 trees for life (£8 x 10); 11 queen bees (£4 x 11); 2 batches of chirpy chickens (£20 x 2); 2 life-saving goats (£28 x 2); 10 supplies of water for a family (£33 x 10); 2 vegetable gardens (£10 x 2); 2 batches of wonderful worms (£10 x 2); 10 mosquito nets that protect (£7 x 10). All these wonderful ethical gifts added up to £660.
After the walk Anne Marie Coppock, a founding member of the parish CAFOD group, commented:
"On behalf of the entire CAFOD group I just wish to thank everyone for their amazing generosity. The money raised has purchased all these fantastic "gifts" for individual families, which will help to ensure they are able to feed themselves, have a better quality of life and be able to earn a small income. CAFOD's work is about helping people to lift themselves out of poverty by their own efforts and with our support. All these "gifts" are sourced locally and are fit for purpose and local conditions. They will be allocated to those in greatest need, across Latin America, Africa and Asia, with the support of CAFOD partners on the ground, often through the Caritas International Network, of which CAFOD is a member."
PRAYER VIGIL FOR THE CARE OF CREATION
Pope Francis is encouraging the Catholic community around the world to pray for our 'common home'. It is inspired by the encyclical Laudato Si, which calls on 'every person living on this planet' to care for our shared earth.
In response to this call the Cafod group of our newly formed Parish of the Good Samaritan are organising a prayer Vigil at 7.00pm on TUESDAY 17th SEPTEMBER at ST. JOHN'S CHURCH. Everyone is very welcome.
During the Vigil, led by our parish Priest, there will be a short Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This is our opportunity, as Stewards of the Earth, to pray for the promotion of living simply, living sustainably and in solidarity of the poor.
Do please join us. Tea and coffee will be served in the Parish Hall after the Vigil.
Please notice our meetings are cancelled during this time of the Covid-19 emergency. Please see details of CAFOD's responce in the "Home Page" dropdown menu.

Eisfeld and Aneke enhance reputations in busy week for youngsters
PlayersReserves, Youth & Academy
JeorgeBird
It has been quite a busy week for Arsenal's youngsters, particularly those involved in the club's tour of Asia as, no sooner had six of the youngsters who travelled to the Far East arrived back in England, they were preparing to take on Dartford in a second-string friendly.
The Dartford fixture did not exactly go to plan, with the Gunners suffering a 2-1 defeat to the non-league outfit at Prince's Park following a couple of defensive mishaps, but it did at least allow the likes of Nico Yennaris to play 90 minutes for the first time this pre-season, whilst giving coach Terry Burton a better look at some of the players who will be at his disposal during the forthcoming campaign.
It was a particularly memorable week for Yennaris, as he had earlier agreed an extension to his current contract with the club, whilst promising young German winger Serge Gnabry turned professional for the first time. Gnabry was lively against Dartford, as he was in the previous friendly, a fairly nondescript goalless draw with Stevenage, and looks set to be a key part of Burton's plans this season, despite still being eligible to feature for the under-18s.
The proposed shake-up of the Reserve and under-18 leagues was also confirmed this week, with both competitions to adopt Champions League knockout-style formats, with the clubs eliminated at the first stage of the tournament which ends in December subsequently being invited in another competition which will run until the end of the season.
For the U21 League, which is replacing the Reserve league, Arsenal will face Blackburn, Bolton, Everton, Norwich, West Ham, West Brom and Reading before Christmas, with the games against Blackburn and Bolton to take place at Emirates Stadium later this month.
Some eyebrows were raised when it was announced that Arsenal's home fixtures in the NextGen Series, a competition which enables the young Gunners to test themselves against sides from across Europe, will be played in the humble surroundings of Barnet's Underhill Stadium, but that should at least guarantee cheap entry for fans interested in seeing Burton's crop take on Marseille, Olympiacos and Athletic Bilbao.
With regards to the Asia Tour, two youngsters certainly enhanced their growing reputations throughout the course of the trip in Thomas Eisfeld and Chuks Aneke. Eisfeld, signed from Borussia Dortmund in January, scored twice in three cameo appearances, whilst powerful midfielder Aneke, who did not enjoy the greatest success out on loan last season, also found the net and demonstrated his impressive range of passing.
Benik Afobe, in contrast, was not at his sharpest in the Far East and is expected to conclude a loan move to Bolton Wanderers shortly. Afobe, who has previously spent time with Reading and Huddersfield Town, will be seeking to use his spell with Owen Coyle's side to prove that he is capable of playing at the highest level.

Eisfeld just needs a little frimpong moments in trainning and I reckon he'l be ready. Toughen up lad! And afobe needs to be more clinical infront of goal.
Reply to Gary
The lad has already suffered knee injuries. Do you want Frimpong to put him out for the whole season? Better to just get him in the gym beefing up like Kos did.
I hope Aneke goes back on loan, but I would like Eisfeld to stay around for the first half of the season to see how he does in the Capital One Cup.

I agree with you, the Eis Man should stay and with our bad luck he will get minutes for sure. We need squad players that can come on and do a job, the Eis Man can do that and put pressure on our midfield or wide players to play well or prepare to be dropped. I will put Ryo in the team too.
goontang
Agreed! Keep him around to let him learn from his idol rosicky this season, could do wanders for him
Sorry to fucking busy following up the cazorla and sahin news while simultaneously laughing at litterpool over their mediocre victory.

being a gunner from the future you maybe know more than we do… but here in the good old present pirlo is one of the best midfielders there is, I'm afraid..
This type of hype pushed by spotty teenagers is so fucking annoying.
Just let the lad play.
Someone clearly left the kindergarten gate open and now a small boy is on the loose!.

Um, Are we gonna do this?
haha, well played
Naija Gunner
Unleash the Eisfeld….!
I love that boy, he is gonna be great for Arsenal.
percyofgod
With the expected arrivals of Cazorla and possibly Sahin, i would't think it will be a bad idea to send Eisfeld to a mid-table side to get a handful of games under his belt.
LANC
Will the change from Reserve to U21 league stop us from giving our fringe players some game-time for the reserves?
I saw Eisfeld score in a reserve game last season and in general i have to say that this kid looks like a solid youngster.
I reckon we will see more of him this season. He still needs a bit of physicality to play the likes of stoke (cunts) but that will come.
oh dear. Just seen Fran Merida has gone to a second division Spanish side. How the mighty have fallen. He could've been someone here.
I guess he's the blue print of what not to do for all the youth team players who might get too big for their boots. Let's hope this doesn't happen with Eisfeld, Aneke or Afobe. I'd love to see them step up eventually.
I hope Afobe does well in Bolton, but even if he does, he certainly doesn't yet prove he is capable at the highest level. Premiership is a whole lot thougher than Championship..
Dr Baptiste
Reply to Nikki
The idea that the premier league is a whole lot tougher is around 5-10 years in the past. As shown by Norwich and Swansea, the gap between the PL and Championship is getting smaller and smaller. A lot of good players know they can go to the championship, do well, play first team football and then get picked up by a premier league team.
Yes Afobe isn't ready for the Utd, Chelsea and City games (top end games) but the Wigan, Villa and Sunderland games (mid to lower games) aren't exactly that far away from playing against good Championship teams
such a cute face,but such goal scoring abilities !! I am in love ! 😀

Save the Home of Mr. Peanut in Suffolk, Virginia!
By: Garland Pollard
In: Grocery
Tagged: Virginia
SUFFOLK – The home of the founder of Mr. Peanut, Amadeo Obici, is in danger of destruction, and has been named to Preservation Virginia's Most Endangered list, just released this week.
Obici was the founder of Planter's Peanuts, and moved his company from Pennsylvania to Virginia to be closer to his supplies. In the process, he made Planter's, and Mr. Peanut, into a national icon. The saddest thing about it is that the Obici family was extremely generous to the Suffolk/Hampton Roads area, and tearing down the house would be the greatest insult to their lives. It would be a nice gesture for Kraft Foods (NYSE: KFT), the current owner of the brand, to step in, make a few telephone calls to the Preservation Virginia or the city of Suffolk, and see how they could make sure this doesn't happen.
What a great place to serve Planter's Cocktail Peanuts.
A bit about the nomination from the PreservationVirginia website:
The Obici House sits on the 18th hole at Sleepy Hole Golf Course over looking the Nansemond River. Currently the house is vacant and has been for a number of years. The house suffers from water damage, rot, and a crumbling foundation. Amedeo Obici, the founder of the Planters Peanut Company, moved his business from Pennsylvania to Suffolk, Virginia because this is where the best peanuts were grown. He made Suffolk the "peanut capital of the world."
He was instrumental in introducing Mr. Peanut, one of the top five most recognizable icons in the world. The Obici Hose was constructed around 1924. As philanthropists, Mr. and Mrs. Obici supported the people of Suffolk. When Mrs. Obici, died, her husband commissioned Suffolk's first hospital in her memory. He died before it was completed. The Obici House is a landmark to this family's commitment to the Suffolk community. This house, recently a popular site for weddings and charity events, could potentially be torn down before the end of the year. The Obici House is on the National Register and would qualify for historic rehabilitation tax credits. Other communities have launched similar projects to re-use residential structures as community centers, club houses and other uses. We urge the City to redouble its efforts to find a sympathetic buyer to undertake the restoration and adaptation of this important link with so many aspects of Suffolk's proud heritage.

Being the great neice of Amedeo Obici, I have very fond memories of the Obici House. It should be restored and used. It could be used for profit and non-profit. The house is not in as poor condition as you report. Yes, it needs restoration , but it is sound and stable: not a creak in the place. Not even the satirs creak!! I was there on Thursday. Most of the water damage is due to downspouts. The basement is bone dry. We need to find the funds to restore the house.

Harry Potter: 8 Reasons Why J.K. Rowling's Saga Should Be Turned Into An HBO Max Series
By Mike Reyes published 17 May 20
Today's best HBO Max deals
HBO Max with Ads
at HBOMax
HBO Max Ad-Free
In its prime, Warner Bros' Harry Potter film franchise took J.K. Rowling's sprawling Wizarding World saga and turned it into 8 truly magical films. Of course, this has only led fans of The Boy Who Lived to believe that sooner or later, a Harry Potter TV series would be in the works. And with Warner Bros being part of the same family as HBO Max, that's a prospect that feels all the more possible.
It's a prospect that has inspired a varied spectrum of reactions, and especially in today's context, we're pretty positive about the reasons why Harry Potter should definitely become an HBO Max original series. Raise your wands, and prepare the correct incantations, as we're about to conjure eight reasons Hogwarts should be brought to HBO Max.
All Of The Harry Potter Books Are Already Written
When the Harry Potter films were being made for theatrical release, there was still a bit of a lag between the books being published and the movies being written. So the films were more of an episodic affair, rather than one that could work from the entire canvas in one shot. Should HBO Max adapt the books into a brand new TV series, that means all of the foreshadowing and easter eggs a fan could dream of from later books could be built into from day one.
Almost A Decade Has Passed Since The Last Harry Potter Movie
Aside from the Fantastic Beasts portion of the franchise, the proper Harry Potter saga has been absent for some time. Though only four years have passed since Harry Potter and the Cursed Child went to print, we've seen almost a decade pass between now and the release of the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. J.K. Rowling's epic saga feels ripe for a TV reinterpretation, considering how long it's been since the series has had its day at the movies.
People Have Expected A Harry Potter TV Series Remake For Some Time
Even when the original run of theatrical films was still being released, fans joked about how a TV series adaptation of Harry Potter would eventually right those supposed wrongs. If HBO Max were to announce a brand new series this very moment, not even Daniel Radcliffe himself would bat an eye in surprise, as this is a moment people have anticipated for some time now. Which just leaves either the shock of delight or the scorn of disapproval to be had by those attached to their memories of the franchise.
His Dark Materials Has Proven That A Harry Potter Series Could Work
Even if 2007's film adaptation of Phillip Pullman's The Golden Compass isn't quite in the league of excellence as the Harry Potter films, that very franchise's jump to TV still serves as an inspiration for how J.K. Rowling's series could be brought to HBO Max rather effectively. As the extended approach to adapting a Potter book would allow the story to breathe, being told in a more prolonged fashion, His Dark Materials' HBO success is the perfect case study for how and why Harry Potter belongs on the streaming service.
Up next: All The Harry Potter Movies In Order, From Sorcerer's Stone To Fantastic Beasts
There's A Lot Of Material That Was Never Adapted Into The Harry Potter Movies
Any book series brought to the big screen has had to make sacrifices when it comes to which stories to tell, and which ones to cut, in their cinematic adaptation. Harry Potter dropped entire characters and subplots throughout its cinematic run, seen perhaps most notably in the fact that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is both the longest book and shortest movie in the Wizarding World. An HBO Max series would allow stories like Hermione's work pertaining to House-elf rights, and characters like the mischievous ghost Peeves to be reintegrated into their proper places in the story.
Fantastic Beasts' Film Franchise Could Easily Be Tied Into The Harry Potter Series
J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts screenplays are supposed to expand upon a previous era of wizarding history we'd only ever learned small snippets about in the Harry Potter series. Now, with those stories being written in greater detail throughout that new batch of films, an HBO Max series could tie those details into Harry Potter's adventures all the better. So instead of being totally blindsided by new familial relations in prominent wizarding families, the overall canon can be adjusted to better integrate those vital details for the combined audience of series newcomers and classic fans.
It Could Lead To A TV Adaptation Of Harry Potter And The Cursed Child
As a massive two-part spectacle of stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child's eventual adaptation is another subject fans have speculated about since its debut. Much as an HBO Max series would help tie the Fantastic Beasts past into the Wizarding World all the better, such an enterprise could lead to the eight Harry Potter story being brought in front of cameras. And by time such a show reaches the point that this story could be adapted, there's a good chance that the original Harry Potter film cast could reprise their roles, as more than enough time will have passed for them to age into that story's timeframe.
JK Rowling Could Make Changes Or Adjustments To The Story If She Wanted To
Perhaps the greatest reason that Harry Potter should become an HBO Max original series is the fact that, much like Game of Thrones did with its later seasons, there's room to artistically diverge from the intended path of the franchise. There may be aspects to the original story that J.K. Rowling has a new perspective on all these years later. A TV show would give her the opportunity to explore the characters' stories in a different way, if she chose to. Or, if Rowling wants to take the Stephen King route, she could write new material leading to a radically changed ending when all is said and done.
Talking up a Harry Potter series for HBO Max is purely hypothetical, as Warner Bros hasn't announced any plans to engage in such an enterprise just yet. It's not for lack of motivation though, as there's plenty of reasons for why such a series could work beautifully, if done right. At this moment, the third Fantastic Beasts film is a priority, but don't be surprised if the near future brings an owl delivered envelope proclaiming that Harry Potter will be coming to a TV screen near you.

Is there an easy way to do that? Because for now I can only think of complicated ways where I have to iterate over the map multiple times.
So basically I know how I could do this, but I'm searching for an elegant, readable way to do this.
Example:
        Input: [(<Apple, today>, null), (<Peach, today>, null), (<Apple, yesterday>, null)]
        Output: [(<Apple, today>, 2), (<Peach, today>, 1), (<Apple, yesterday>, 2)]

A: My solution so far:
(please comment if this is a good solution or not readable/elegant enough)
   public HashMap<Tuple<String, String>, Integer> countStuff (HashMap<Tuple<String, String>, Integer> stuffToBeCounted){

        HashMap<Tuple<String, String>, Integer> result = new HashMap<Tuple<String, String>, Integer>();
        HashMap<String, Integer> countedStuff = new HashMap<String, Integer>();

        for (Tuple<String, String> tuple : stuffToBeCounted.keySet()) {
           if(countedStuff.containsKey(tuple.v1())){
              Integer oldValue = countedStuff.get(tuple.v1());
              countedStuff.put(tuple.v1(), oldValue+1);
           }
           else{
              countedStuff.put(tuple.v1(), 1);
           }
        }

        for(Tuple<String, String> tuple : stuffToBeCounted.keySet()){
           result.put(tuple, countedStuff.get(tuple.v1()));
        }

        return result;
  }

Oil and gas drilling sites have displaced 30,000 square kilometers of croplands and rangelands in North America.

Thirty thousand square kilometers of land lost to oil and gas development
By Eric Hand Apr. 23, 2015 , 2:00 PM
All across North America, patches of land are being taken over by the rigs, roads, and storage facilities of thousands of oil and gas drilling operations. Now, for the first time, a study tallies up the land area they consume: 30,000 square kilometers—an area equivalent to three Yellowstone National Parks.
"For all intents and purposes, these are parking lots," says Brady Allred, an ecologist at the University of Montana, Missoula, who led the study, published online today in Science. "The question is: How long are they going to stay this way?"
The authors acknowledge that there are benefits from the operations—namely, energy—and also that the lost land is a small fraction of North America's total area. But they say the well sites are rarely remediated and replanted, and so the cumulative impact could begin to take its toll through the degradation of animal habitats and the loss of plants, which sop up carbon dioxide.
The study is a mash-up of two types of data. Allred paid tens of thousands of dollars to private sources and state regulators to get the location of well sites. The researchers found that, since 1900, more than 2 million wells have been drilled, and most of that has happened in two spurts—one beginning in the mid-1970s with the OPEC oil embargo, and the other beginning in 2000 with the advent of directional drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and other techniques that make it easier to extract oil and gas from tight rock formations. In the last decade, they found, industry has been sinking more than 50,000 wells a year. "Whenever we tell people there are 50,000 wells being drilled per year, they think we're crazy," says co-author Steven Running, a University of Montana ecologist. "Nobody has any idea of the magnitude of this."
Industry has drilled more than 2 million wells since 1900. The displaced productivity of well sites amid croplands (red) is higher than those in rangelands (green).
B. W. ALLRED ET AL., SCIENCE
The researchers combined the well locations with satellite imagery to arrive at estimates of the plant productivity lost when the dirt and gravel of a graded site replaces cropland or rangeland. The amount of lost biomass in croplands alone is equivalent to 120 million bushels of wheat, or 13% of what the United States exported in 2013, the team reports. And the collective toll of drilling from 2000 to 2012 means that the landscape has lost the ability to soak up 4.5 teragrams of carbon per year. That number pales in comparison to the 1000 teragrams of carbon per year taken up across the entire study area in croplands and rangelands, Allred acknowledges. But Running points out that the impact of drilling extends beyond the numbers, especially for animals such as sagebrush grouse or mule deer. "They get a sense of the human presence," he says. "There's a substantial disruption that's more than just the well pad itself."
Some researchers say the landscape impacts of oil and gas drilling are far from unique. Jeremy Weber, a natural resource economist at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, says the situation is not so different from farmers selling land to developers for housing tracts. "I would see it as equivalent to suburban sprawl—gobbling up farmland and turning it into housing developments."
And Katie Brown, a spokeswoman for Energy In Depth, an outreach organization in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the oil industry, points out in a statement that renewable energy sources also take up space. "Any type of energy development, whether it's a natural gas well or a wind farm, is going to have some kind of ecological footprint," she says. With the directional drilling that is now in vogue, the size of well operations can shrink, too, she adds. "Companies are now drilling multiple wells on a single well pad, and these are wells that can stretch miles underground, greatly reducing the surface land footprint."
Allred would like to see more stringent standards for remediation of well sites after drilling is completed. That is already happening in some regions. In Pennsylvania, for instance, regulators require that drillers set aside and save topsoil, return the drill site to its original contours, and reseed it.
In the meantime, he's just glad he can finally affix a number to the collective area associated with oil and gas development in the heartland. "We all use energy and there are tradeoffs," he says. "But we need to quantify these tradeoffs."

Q: Disable first letter capitalization in android webview (html textarea)
Hi! I'm developing a webview app for android but I'm stuck on a very big issue. As you can see from the picture above, the keyboard is different between the single line text-field and the textarea. It is very important for this app NOT to auto capitalize the first letter of the textarea, but also I must give the possibility to the user to use capital letters if needed.
The html code is very simple:
<input type="text" />
<textarea></textarea>

iOS solved this problem through these html attributes for the textarea:
autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off"

This solution is not working for android webview. I sought everywhere but didn't find any solution. Is it possible to use the small keyboard even for the textarea via html/javascript/android?
Thank you so much!!

A: try this
<input autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" />

A: you can try this.
   <input type="text" name="txt1" style="text-transform: lowercase;">
   <textarea   name="txt1" style="text-transform: lowercase;"></textarea>

A: autocapitalize="off" works as of 2015 on Android. I could not find anything about autocorrect. See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/04/autocapitalize

'Walking Dead' Companion Series Official
It will focus on a completely new cast in a new location

Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes on 'The Walking Dead.' Frank Ockenfels 3/AMC
UPDATE: AMC announced Friday that the Walking Dead spin-off will be called Fear the Walking Dead. Season One will begin this summer, with Season Two beginning in 2016.
Months after AMC announced its intention to create a companion show to The Walking Dead, the network has confirmed that the series is officially happening, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The network brought on writer-producer Dave Erickson (Sons of Anarchy, Low Winter Sun) as showrunner, executive producer and co-writer, according to Uproxx. He joins a team for the show that includes Dead creator Robert Kirkman and producer Gale Anne Hurd.
Nine 'Walking Dead' Villains We're Dying to See
The still-untitled series was previously rumored to be a prequel that would focus on the events that led up to the main series' apocalyptic storyline. But neither the network nor the producers have hinted at what the show will be about other than the fact that it won't technically be a "spinoff" since it won't feature characters from The Walking Dead TV series. Uproxx theorizes that the new series will be set in the same apocalypse timeline. Last year, creator Robert Kirkman confirmed that the show will feature an entirely new cast and location, but offered little else.
"We are going to see an entirely different corner of The Walking Dead," Kirkman told IGN in an October interview. "It definitely won't be set in Georgia – I can at least say that. It's important to us that this show exists on its own. The spinoff has to be a show worthy of existing, or else we've all sold out. So that's something we're all working hard towards doing, and I think we can pull it off. I think that the ideal situation is, when you're watching the spinoff, you're like, 'Wow, this is a really awesome show.' The whole other show doesn't need to exist for this show to be cool and stand on its own."
Although AMC originally planned to launch the series in 2015, the network has not offered any further details on when it would premiere.

DUI Task Force prowls streets
By Jon Johnson, Staff Writer
The Gila Valley had a new weapon against drunk drivers this holiday season. The newly formed Eastern Arizona DUI task force ran at full speed, patrolling Graham and Greenlee counties determined to stop people from drinking and driving.
According to Thatcher Police Sgt. Shaffen Woods, DUI arrests are up in all categories compared to last year, except for citations for people under 21 and for minor consumption. There were 37 DUI arrests (with an average blood alcohol content of .135) made by the task force so far with 10 from New Year's Eve alone.
The DUI task force is made up of deputies from the Graham County Sheriff's Office and officers from Safford, Thatcher, Pima and the Arizona Department of Public Safety. It was once part of the Southern Arizona DUI Task Force, which included police agencies from Nogales, Sierra Vista, Cochise County and the University of Arizona.
Woods applied for and received a grant from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety for $40,000 to fund the program.
The Thatcher Police Department is serving as the coordinating agency for the task force with Shaffen as the project administrator.
"It's really good at building camaraderie among the different agencies," Woods said. "We all patrol the same areas together to get drunks off the road."
The task force is aided by a DUI processing van donated by Cochise County. The van is stocked with items for detection of alcohol or drug use, including a chair for drawing blood. Sgt. Woods considers the van to be a valuable tool for the task force.
"It can drive to a suspect's location, or it can be used as a command center with officers bringing their suspects to it," he said. "What it does is make the whole process more efficient. It frees up the officers from having to go to the jail and gets them back out on the road quicker."

Grammys Spotlight: Michael Buble
Darrin Dortch
Michael Buble has made traditional pop music cool again. The Canadian crooner, who released his self-titled debut album in 2003, has had a remarkable year and could cap it off with a slew of Grammy nominations. The older-skewing recording academy tends to favor traditional vocalists like Buble.
His fourth studio album, "Crazy Love," was released in late 2009 and the disc's debut single, "Haven't Met You Yet," camped out in Billboard's Top 40 for nearly a year. "Crazy Love" is shaping up to be Buble's best selling album to date. Its success revived interest in his other albums, all of which charted on the Billboard 200 in 2010.
Buble took home the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in both 2007 ("Call Me Irresponsible") and 2009 ("Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden") but he has struggled to break into other categories. He has only been nominated once for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance; he lost his 2007 bid for "Everything" to Justin Timberlake for "What Goes Around Comes Around." That should all change this year.
Besides a sure bid for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, "Crazy Love" is a strong contender for an Album of the Year nomination. As "Haven't Met You Yet" is an original composition, Buble could reap bids for both Record and Song of the Year. He could also contend again for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance ("Haven't Met You Yet") as well as Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals ("Baby, You Got What It Takes" w/Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings).

The woman later continued to become a business lead celebrity for a popular film development house in Japan, Nikkatsu. During her profession, she has received numerous awards, such as Japan Academy Award four times. Yukie in addition has performed business lead roles in several tv set serials, which includes Trick.
Even if there are many beautiful women in Japan, the criteria of appearance vary throughout https://bridesbest.org/asia/japan/ the land. While we might consider the cute women and young models on the list of most beautiful Japanese ladies, we all cannot disregard the glamour styles in the country. Among the list of hottest types, Nozomi Sasaki, a former professional model from Akita, is known for her sexy looks. She's appeared in various movies and TV shows and has possibly dubbed several Anime movies and online games.
Another popular Japoneses beauty is definitely actress Mao Inoue. The girl started operating at the age of five and seems to have since gained a number of honors. She also won greatest feminine lead in the 47th Television-Drama Schools Awards. Her attractive looks have earned her the position of number 4 among the list of the most beautiful Japoneses women.
Irrespective of her age, japan woman is an auto dvd unit and presenter who has accomplished international fame. Completely also lively and is an avid photographer and traveler. While most women of all ages think of Artist models, japan woman is a unique blend European and Oriental features. This is a great choice for movie-makers and designers alike.
Japanese women are renowned with regards to beauty and the innate ability to manage difficult circumstances. Without ladies, the world would be a extremely several place. The most wonderful https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001953.htm women of Asia are celebrities, styles, and athletes. They are also recognized for their flawless skin area, http://www.cofi.co.za/looking-for-pretty-latina-women/ exquisite hair, and lovely dresses.
Yuki Takahashi is another Japanese beauty with a enchanting individuality. She was born in 1977 and has recently appeared in over a dozen films and TV video clips.

National Basketball Association legend Michael Jordan and U.S. athletes rallied to LeBron James' defense on Saturday after U.S. President Donald Trump questioned the star player's intelligence in a tweet.
Earlier this week, LeBron James spoke to CNN's Don Lemon about racism, America, and Trump. "He's doing an fantastic job for his community", Jordan said in a statement to The Associated Press through his representative via text Saturday.
"Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon", The Donald tweeted.
April 4, 2016; Houston, TX, USA; Michael Jordan in attendance during the first half in the championship game of the 2016 NCAA Men's Final Four between the North Carolina Tar Heels and Villanova Wildcats at NRG Stadium.
James recently opened a public elementary school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio for at-risk kids.
While NBA athletes, entertainers and politicians alike fired off a flurry of responses directed at the president, James' first tweet following Trump's diss made no mention of the former reality TV star turned politician.
Jordan issued a statement through his spokesperson to The Associated Press via text. If Trump thought Michael Jordan would be excited to be named as the basketball player preferred by the POTUS (or, perhaps, the only other player whose name Trump could remember) and throw some accolades back Trump's way, he missed his guess. He routinely deems Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California, who is also black, as "low IQ" - an insult he repeated during the OH rally Saturday night. Maybe Trump was upset at how LeBron said that he would not want to sit across from him, or Trump sought another opportunity to take a shot at what he calls "fake news".
"He is dividing us and what I noticed over the last few months is that he's kinda used sport to divide us and that's something I can't relate to, because I know that sport was the first time I was ever around someone white".
James has always been critical of Trump. The statement didn't criticize the president.
In June, Trump said that neither the Cleveland Cavaliers - James' previous team - nor the Golden State Warriors would be invited to the White House following the NBA Finals. "Who's the real dummy?"
That comment may have caused Trump to change his mind.

National sovereign Large Air Tanker boosts bushfire protection ahead of summer
Thursday 09 September, 2021
A Large Air Tanker (LAT) will be based in Australia on year-round standby for aerial assaults on bushfires across the country following a $4 million boost by the Morrison Government to better protect lives and property.
Increased annual Australian Government funding for the National Aerial Firefighting Centre (NAFC) – now totalling more than $30m – will ensure additional resources are available to support and safeguard firefighters on the ground during catastrophic blazes.
Emergency Services Minister Vincent Tarzia welcomed the new heavy-duty water bomber and cash boost, which is in addition to the $10.2m provided by the Marshall Liberal Government for aerial firefighting in the 2021/22 State Budget.
The LAT will reduce Australia's reliance on overseas assets and, in combination with a sophisticated fleet of more than 150 specialised, highly mobile aircraft positioned around the country, offers greater protection for all communities.
"Aerial firefighting assets like the LAT make a huge difference during bushfires when lives and property are on the line," Minister Tarzia said.
"I hope we never see the LAT flying in South Australian skies, but it's reassuring to know the capability will be available when needed.
"Aerial firefighting assets are so important for South Australia to support our volunteer and staff firefighters on the ground.
"During the last bushfire season, we saw aerial firefighting assets used with great efficiency at Lucindale and Cherry Gardens.
"There were 728 aerial drops made during the 2020/21 bushfire season and our aerial firefighting assets were in operation for about 660 hours, equating to 27 full days of service."
The make and model of the LAT will be announced at a later date, while further announcements about South Australia's aerial firefighting fleet are expected in coming weeks.
In January 2020, an Erickson Aero MD-87 air tanker flew into Edinburgh Airport and was stationed in South Australia 50 days during the bushfire season.
That bomber has an 11,350-litre capacity tank to drop retardant, gel or foam.
The securement of the latest LAT is in response to the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements Final Report, and recommendation for an aerial firefighting capability that can be tasked according to the greatest national need.
Following an Independent Review into the tragic 2019/20 bushfire season – conducted by former Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty AO – the Marshall Government has invested $97.5m to strengthen South Australia's bushfire resilience.
The Keelty Review response is providing additional support and resources for volunteers, including extra staff and equipment, better protection for critical assets, enhanced communications, state-of-the-art technology and improved mental health assistance for the Emergency Services Sector.
