Twofer on reviews this month, which will leave me only one whole Karen Rose novel behind. Spoilers ahead…
Who is it by?
Monster in the Closet is a romantic thriller by American writer Karen Rose. It's set in the universe of her Baltimore series and is a bit of a departure for Rose – she normally doesn't revisit a series after moving onto another city.
Well, the male and female main characters are Ford Elkhart and Taylor Dawson, and at one point Taylor jokes about having made a spreadsheet to keep track of who's who. The Baltimore series has a cast of thousands (and this instalment introduced even more), but besides the two leads the focus this time was on Taylor's father Clay, with a smaller role for JD Fitzpatrick, a Baltimore detective who was the male MC from the first in the series.
I'll try and keep this brief, because there's a lot of backstory here. Ok, so Taylor is the long-lost daughter of private investigator Clay Maynard – long-lost because his ex-wife deliberately hid her from him, falsely claiming that she'd been abused so that her strictly religious parents would accept her getting divorced from him to marry someone else (she'd accidentally gotten pregnant after sleeping with Clay to make the Someone Else jealous). Taylor's mother maintained the lies all her life, convincing Taylor that her father was a monster who'd steal her away, before confessing the truth to Taylor on her deathbed.
This prompts Taylor, a psychology graduate, to get an internship at an equine therapy charity run by a friend of Clay's to try and get to know him better without giving away her identity, where she meets Ford, the son of the charity's owner. They start to fall for each other, as Taylor bonds with one of her clients, Jazzie Jarvis, a crucial witness in a murder case that Detective JD is investigating, and meets her father for the first time. Then Jazzie is kidnapped, the murderer tries to kill Taylor, and she and Ford help the police track him down and arrest him.
What I liked.
Taylor and Clay's meeting.
I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING! Anyway, it's only hayfever. Creeps up on you when you least expect it. Like midnight. When it's snowing outside…
Joking aside, Rose has created a group of characters that I care about, and you can't say fairer than that. We know all about Clay's pain at the loss of his daughter from Watch Your Back, so to see him quite unexpectedly find her again, at a point where he's beginning to lose hope, feels poignant and heart-warming. The scene itself is well-written, Clay's reaction is well-described (he recognises Taylor instantly because of how she resembles his mother), it hits home, and the reactions of all his friends are also well-described, and nicely varied. It would be very easy for Rose to have portrayed a universally welcoming response to Taylor from the entire Baltimore circle, all of whom know how much Clay's been hurt by not being able to see her. But, whilst Clay is delighted, his wife Stevie is much more confrontational and defensive, at least initially, and JD is outright suspicious, finding the timing of Taylor's arrival and bonding with his key witness to be very convenient. In some ways, Stevie's daughter (Clay's stepdaughter) Cordelia is more grown up than the grown ups, accepting Taylor more quickly than most of them, and, in another heart-string-tugging moment, telling Clay that it's ok for him to love Taylor too.
Rose captures the enormous impact that this moment has on all of her characters, the gamut of emotions that they run through, and the varied reactions of the people around Clay and Taylor, and she does it in a way that hits home for a reader. I really can't ask for more than an author who moves me to tears for her characters.
Thrills and spills.
Ok, so when you pick up a Karen Rose novel, you know more or less what you'll get – a male and female main character who fall for each other, a killer on a spree connected to one or both of them, and some very fucked-up psychology. Rose's novels go to some seriously dark places at times. Monster in the Closet features a woman whose lies drove one girl to suicide, another to alcoholism, and separated Taylor from her father for over twenty years; we also get accidental matricide, fratricide, a contemplated double child-murder, drug abuse, self-stitching a bullet wound. It's probably one of her lighter ones.
I'm going to disclaim now, that I won't touch too much on the romance parts of any of Rose's novels. Simply put, it's not really a genre that engages me. I do not believe in criticising entire genres; the whole point of genre fiction is that there's something in it for everyone, and every genre has its own clichés and tropes (crime sure as hell does). I don't personally tend to find romance particularly engaging, I'm not at all familiar with what I should expect from a romance novel, so I won't comment on those aspects as much. What I will say, is that I reckon that a reader should find a good example of any genre to be an engaging and interesting read, and I'd hold Rose's novels up as proof – I always find the romance aspects interesting, and I care whether or not the characters get together. For me, that's enough.
As regards the actual thrills and spills… in Monster in the Closet, we know that the killer is Gage Jarvis immediately, and JD isn't too far behind in figuring it out. But, he doesn't have any evidence, and so it's a race against time for Taylor to get the key witness, Gage's supposed daughter Jazzie Jarvis, talking. The reader knows that Gage thinks that Jazzie might have told Taylor something, so he ends up kidnapping Jazzie and trying to shoot Taylor. After that, it's a race against time to find Jazzie.
Rose doesn't usually present the killer in plain sight like this, she usually springs it as a surprise on the reader (so it's often difficult to trust the friends of either main character), but in this case it really works. It allows Gage to become a more fleshed-out villain (more on this below). Knowing that the man she believes is her father killed her mother helps explain Jazzie's silence. And Gage's relationships with his mother and brother add to the tension – especially that with his mother, who, unwilling to acknowledge her son's brutality and depravity, brings Jazzie and her sister Janie right to Gage. Gage himself is not an unstoppably brilliant villain, a number of his plans don't work which adds to the believability, but he's cunning, ruthless, determined, and like all good villains, has convinced himself that what he's doing is right.
The action sequences are fast-paced and gripping, and the build-up to them hooks you right in. And, as much as Gage isn't unstoppably brilliant, neither are Taylor and Ford, or any other character, indestructible. Both of them are wounded during the story, and Rose chooses the perfect time to critically injure another central character. They're more relatable because they hurt and bleed; and the stakes are higher for the reader because we know that they can be hurt and bleed.
Basically, Rose's novels grip from start to finish, and this one's no exception.
Some variations from the usual format.
I mentioned above that you more or less know what you're going to get with Rose, in that all her novels have the same basic shape. They're never formulaic, but you know you're getting a male and female main character, they're going to have a romantic thing going, and they'll both confront the killer at the end. But, there are some variations compared to her other novels. In the acknowledgements Rose stated that she didn't originally plan to write Monster in the Closet and, although you don't suddenly wind up in a 1930s English mansion where the vicar has just been very tastefully and decorously poisoned, I get the feeling that she used it as opportunity to have a play around with her writing.
The biggest difference is that Taylor and Ford are, in their mid-twenties, at least ten years younger than her protagonists usually are, and their relationship is presented a little differently; Rose up until now has depicted characters finding their forever relationships, but, although Taylor and Ford are clearly really into each other, they talk about if he or she is the One, not that they definitely are. For two much younger characters, that's an intelligent alteration, although not an altogether surprising one; Rose has depicted divorced characters who married too young before.
We also get a look at the married lives of two of her previous couples, JD and wife Lucy, and of course Clay and Stevie, which is new – main characters from previous stories don't usually get POV scenes in further ones in which they appear, and it's nice to see how their lives have developed since they had centre-stage.
And the body count's lower in this one – I make six, counting Gage's murder of his ex-wife which happens 'off-screen,' before the book actually starts. Rose's villains typically notch up ten or more.
Some things are, of course, the same. Gage is still on a killing spree, and it's still Ford and Taylor who confront him at the end. There's been a slight noirish tinge to the Baltimore series (No One Left to Tell and Watch Your Back featured a major police corruption scandal) that continues in Monster in the Closet, with organised crime boss Cesar Tavilla able to swan into the Baltimore PD's homicide division and park himself at JD's desk at will. But the tweaks Rose makes give this book a nice feel, and let us see how the Baltimore characters' lives have developed.
A sympathetic villain.
This is something that Rose hasn't always done in the past, her villains have tended to be full-on Chaotic Evil, killing off anyone and/or thing that might get in their way – especially bumping off witnesses. They're often villains you love to hate, but there's very rarely any sort of sympathy for them. Gage, however, is easily her most sympathetic villain to date, and not just because he *only* kills six people (and, in the event, decides not to follow through on his plan to kill Jazzie and her little sister Janie after realising that the police have enough evidence to send him away without them). It's partly because he's convinced, in his own head at least, that he's right, and partly because there's an element of Shakespearian tragedy about him.
Gage was a high-flying defence lawyer, although the seeds of his downfall were always there with his use of cocaine to get him through his workload. He's presented as always having been narcissistic, and his wife Valerie both cheated on each other, but Gage seems to have tried to do the right thing by Jazzie and Janie until he learnt that neither girl was his – which he learnt when he tried to donate blood to Janie after she was seriously cut falling through a glass door, and she had a blood type she couldn't have had if she'd been his child. He went from being a poor if well-meaning husband and father to an abusive one.
Gage is still violent and brutal, and doesn't care about anyone other than himself. But, in his mind at least, everything he does can be justified. He beats Valerie to death because he believes that she sold the house he paid for (she actually lost it when he wouldn't pay alimony). He kills a junkie he views as worth much less than him so that the police will close their investigation into Valerie's death, only kills a cop because he was following the junkie, and only kills a dealer because he now needs a fall-guy for the cop's death. In his head, at least, those are murders he's been forced into. He accidentally kills his mother. His brother's death is during a struggle for a gun.
Rose gives us a villain whose spiral started when he tried to do the right thing, and who's convinced that what he's doing is right, at least for him. Gage is all the more memorable because of it.
Clay and Taylor's stepfather.
Taylor had only been conceived because her mother wanted to sleep with Clay to make another man jealous. She lied about Clay being an abuser to get a divorce from him her parent would accept, only to divorce her new husband when he abused her for real. With her lies about Clay now spiralling out of control, she left for California and married for a third time, to Taylor's stepfather Frederick – of course, telling him that she was fleeing from a violent and relentless ex who she was afraid would steal her daughter away. Frederick, a lawyer, was able to hide them so well that Clay never found them.
As with Taylor's acceptance into the Baltimore circle, it would be so easy so for Rose to write a hostile relationship between Clay and Frederick, even to make Frederick into a secondary antagonist. Fortunately, Rose is too good a writer who respects her characters too much for that to happen. Instead of the 'Dad and Stepdad hate each other,' that we've had a thousand times before, we get a mutual recognition from Clay and from Frederick that the other is a man who loves Taylor and wants what's best for her. They don't compete for her love. Frederick even starts to see Taylor's move to Baltimore as a chance for his whole family to have a new start. There's respect between them.
There are two utterly heart-warming moments in this. First, Clay choosing not to hold any ill-will towards Frederick for hiding Taylor. He recognises instead that Frederick protected her from what he believed was a mortal threat, driving two of his biological daughters to addiction (one to an overdose) in order to do so. I had to take a break at this point because I got a little choked up just reviewing it – both the sacrifices Frederick has made, and Clay's acceptance that he did what he thought was right.
Second, Frederick gives Clay a copy of every photo he has of Taylor, documenting her life from a young child onwards (tearing up again, by the way). Frederick recognises that he can't give Clay back the years that he lost, but that he can give Clay a window into what he missed. Again, it's touching and poignant, and it's the response of a man who cares for Taylor doing what's right for her even though he fears losing her now that she's found Clay.
Clay tells Frederick that he's been the father he didn't have to be for Taylor. It's resolution that plotline deserved, it's the resolution that the characters deserved, it's a refreshing new take on the parent-stepparent conflict, and if it doesn't melt your heart just a little, you're probably dead inside.
What I had problems with.
Procedural niggles.
Disclaimer: as a crime writer myself it's always fun to try and spot these, but every crime writer, at the very least, finesses police procedure to some degree or another and if it spoils your enjoyment you're reading it wrong.
Further disclaimer: I'm British. I don't know American police procedures anything like as well (they're often very different) and that'll limit what I can fairly pick up on.
Having said that, do American cops really investigate murders with such small teams? I'm asking because I genuinely have no idea, in the UK Gage's first murder alone would be investigated by least a dozen, and probably more, detectives. But The First 48 makes it look like American police forces usually assign half that number at most to a single case.
In general, from what I know of American police procedure, Rose follows it fairly closely. Where she tends to veer away from what real cops do is in her final showdown scenes – the hero and heroine always confront the killer, and to be fair it wouldn't be anything like as heroic if they did what real cops do and waited behind a Tactical Support Team. Rose usually comes up with at least a plausible reason why the main characters arrive at their confrontation with the killer ahead of their backup. In Monster in the Closet, Ford subdues Gage after he shoots Taylor; they've been brought to the building where Gage is holding Jazzie and Janie so that Taylor can keep Jazzie calm after the police rescue her, and basically, Rose falls back on the old 'Otherwise competent police officers fail to properly surround a dangerous suspect.' It does happen with real cops in real life, and she actually keeps the scene sufficiently fast-paced that I didn't notice until I started thinking it over for this review. But I've noticed now, so I'm going to bring it up.
As I said, it's fun to spot, but if it spoils your enjoyment of the book you've read it wrong.
Lot of straight white people straight white peopling.
I'm not going to pick up on this too much, because although this is a recent novel, it's a Baltimore series novel and the diversity in Rose's novels gets much better in the following Cincinnati series. I honestly feel that the lack of diversity previously was because Rose, who's a straight white person herself, found it easiest to write about straight white people, but feels more comfortable now relating the experiences of a more diverse group – not least because, when you're writing about people of colour or LGBTIQ+ people, there are sensitivity issues that it can be easier to avoid. There's nothing wrong with that.
And, as an SEN teacher, I appreciate the portrayal of a couple with Down's Syndrome who are able to live independent lives and who are supported by the people around them. Learning difficulties don't get tackled nearly enough in crime fiction, it was nice to see Rose representing that.
Lay off JD, y'all!
Yes, British people say y'all. One hears it on the bloody televisual device all the time, doncha know!
For the record, I don't talk like that.
JD is suspicious of Taylor at first and gets a lot of shit for it, from Ford and then from Stevie, his former partner in the Baltimore Police Department. But especially from Ford. All right, fair enough, Ford's busy falling in love with Taylor, and I did say above that I liked the complex and varied nature of the Baltimore circle's reaction to Taylor. I think my issue is with JD apologising to Taylor and Ford for his negative reaction later in the novel. I mean, he was basically just doing his job – he's right to be suspicious of Taylor's sudden, convenient arrival. Good cops are supposed to assume nothing, believe nothing and check everything, and if JD wasn't a little paranoid he wouldn't be a good cop. I think everyone else could do with showing him a bit more understanding.
…you like your thrillers with a lot of heart and poignancy, and you like to be taken to some very dark places whilst being thrilled. Also if you don't like sleep.

Kushner Reportedly Asks Jordan to End Refugee Status for 2 Mln Palestinians
This is said to be a part of the plan to dismantle United Nations' Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). 04.08.2018, Sputnik International

This is said to be a part of the plan to dismantle United Nations' Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
Jared Kushner, a senior advisor to US President Donald Trump — and the US leader's son-in-law — has reportedly been pushing Amman to strip 2 million Palestinians in Jordan of their refugee status, according to Foreign Policy.
Kushner raised the issue during a June visit to Jordan, in which he was accompanied by Trump's personal Special Representative for International Negotiations, Jason Greenblatt.

According to Palestinian officials, Kushner pressed Amman to strip 2 million Palestinians of their refugee status, which would effectively end the need for the UNRWA in the country, according to Foreign Policy.
"[Kushner said] the resettlement has to take place in the host countries and these governments can do the job that UNRWA was doing," said Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
This most recent example is just one episode in the work that Kushner is conducting to undermine the UN humanitarian aid agency, according to emails obtained by Foreign Policy.
"It is important to have an honest and sincere effort to disrupt UNRWA," Kushner wrote in an email to several US officials, including Greenblatt, in January. "This [agency] perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn't help peace."
"Our goal can't be to keep things stable and as they are. […] Sometimes you have to strategically risk breaking things in order to get there," Trump's son in law added.
As the Times of Israel has previously asserted, the UNRWA, whose full name is United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, grants refugee status to all descendants of Palestinians who have fled the 1948 establishment of Israel. An estimated 2 million of the 5 million claimed to be participating in the UN program are currently registered in Jordan.
Every time Palestinian leaders sit down with Israelis, Palestine demands "the right to return" for the refugees. According to Israeli pundits, if Tel Aviv were to accept the move, Israel would no longer be a Jewish-majority state.
Tel Aviv has long argued that UNRWA seeks to destroy Israel by demographic means, although the Times of Israel asserts that the actual amount of refugees who fled the conflict is estimated in the "low tens of thousands."

Kushner is not the only Trump appointee working to dismantle the humanitarian aid agency. Greenblatt advisor Victoria Coates has also suggested the closure of UNRWA.
"UNRWA should come up with a plan to unwind itself and become part of the UNHCR [UN High Commissioner for Refugees] by the time its charter comes up again in 2019," Coates wrote in a January email.
In the email, Coates described her proposition as one of the "spitball ideas that [she] had that are also informed by some thoughts [she] picked up from Jared, Jason and Nikki," referring to US Ambassador to UN Nikki Haley, another Trump appointee.
Other propositions to dismantle the UN organization include moving the UNRWA to a monthly operating budget and coming up with "a plan to remove all anti-Semitism from educational materials," according to the Times of Israel.
"By trying to unwind UNRWA, the Trump administration appears ready to reset the terms of the Palestinian refugee issue in Israel's favor," Foreign Policy stated, noting that the Trump administration has unilaterally recognized the entirety of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, effectively stripping Palestinians of their own capital in East Jerusalem.

There are also distinctions to be made between these two groups on a molecular level. For example, type I tumors commonly have PTEN, K-ras, and β-catenin mutations as well as microsatellite instability (MSI). Progesterone receptors are more likely to be found in significant numbers in these cancers. Type II tumors, on the other hand, typically have p53 mutations and HER2/neu amplification.8, 10 Table 1 outlines some of the differences between type I and type II endometrial cancers.
The majority of women diagnosed with endometrial cancer are peri- or postmenopausal between the ages of 50 and 65.6 The average age at diagnosis is 61.2 However, the risk of developing endometrial cancer increases with advancing age. For example, a woman under the age of 40 has a 1 in 1423 risk of developing the disease, but a woman older than 70 has a 1 in 81 risk.1 As detailed in Table 2, in the United States, more than 40% of endometrial cancers are diagnosed in women older than 65.
Significant differences in the biologic and clinical behavior of endometrial carcinoma among estrogen users and nonusers have been described. Cancers associated with estrogen use include a preponderance of well-differentiated, localized tumors, with a low incidence of myometrial invasion and metastases, and a 5-year survival rate of well over 90%.12, 33, 34 This likely explains why mortality from endometrial cancer did not increase when the incidence rate increased in 1960s and 1970s, and is in agreement with the theory that type I tumors are estrogen driven with a favorable prognosis.
Though nulliparity can be a manifestation of infertility, there is evidence that they are independent risk factors for developing endometrial cancer.58 Infertile women have been found to have 3.5 times more risk than fertile women for developing disease.49 Few studies have examined how infertility treatments alter a woman's endometrial cancer risk.
Recently, there has been increasing interest in insulin resistance and endometrial cancer, with multiple studies suggesting a relationship between the two.64, 65, 66 In one study, 66% of patients were noted to have insulin resistance at the time of their endometrial cancer diagnosis. Interestingly, half of the insulin-resistant woman did not have a history of diabetes.64 Another study that excluded diabetics, noted 35% of their subjects with endometrial cancer to have insulin resistance.66 Further work is needed to detail the exact role of insulin resistance in endometrial cancer development.
An association between estrogen-producing tumors and endometrial cancer was first reported by Schroeder in 1922.71 Since then, studies of relatively large numbers of patients have found that between 6 and 10% of patients with estrogen-producing tumors will develop endometrial cancer.72, 73 However, autonomous estrogen-secreting ovarian tumors are a relatively rare cause of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma.
Approximately 5% of endometrial cancer cases can be attributed to an inherited predisposition.77 The majority of these cases are secondary to Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. The syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with mutations in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes (MLH 1, MSH 2, MSH 6, or PMS 2), and is associated with colon, rectal, ovarian, small bowel, renal pelvis, ureteral, and endometrial cancers. Importantly, individuals with Lynch syndrome are at risk for developing more than one primary cancer over their lifetime.
Given their propensity for developing other malignancies and the risk of having family members with the same mutation, it is important to identify patients with Lynch syndrome. Of note, approximately 50% of Lynch syndrome patients diagnosed with both endometrial and colon cancer were diagnosed with endometrial cancer first.80 The Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO) has published guidelines to aid with determining which patients should be screened for Lynch syndrome (Table 4).
There are currently no clear data on how to screen women with Lynch syndrome for endometrial cancer. Expert opinion has generally recommended that these patients should receive annual endometrial biopsies and transvaginal ultrasounds once they reach the age of 30–35.82 Additionally, there are data that prophylactic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy significantly reduce the risk of endometrial cancer for Lynch syndrome patients.83 Therefore, this procedure should be offered once childbearing is complete.
The inverse relationship between cigarette smoking and endometrial cancer risk has been known since the late 1970s.84, 85, 86, 87 Multiple authors have reported the relative risk of endometrial cancer to be 0.5 in smokers.12 The decreased risk is more pronounced among postmenopausal women.88 Additionally, the longer and heavier the duration of smoking, the less the risk for developing endometrial cancer. This association does not appear to be true for passive smokers.89 The biologic mechanism for these findings is unclear, but is likely related to alterations in endogenous hormones or metabolites.42 It should be emphasized, however, that the protection conferred by smoking is far outweighed by the many serious and well-documented health risks associated with tobacco use.
There is also some evidence that the intrauterine device (IUD) use may also be associated with decreased risk.94 One study noted that women who had ever used an IUD had an odds ratio of 0.37 to develop endometrial cancer.95 Further studies are warranted, specifically those addressing levonorgestrel-containing IUDs.
Endometrial cancer is a very common malignancy affecting hundreds of thousands of women worldwide with the number of cases increasing annually. Understanding the epidemiology of this disease may not only aid with treatment, but also further the development of prevention strategies.

House Approves Drug, Alcohol Tests for Transport Workers
— Oct 10th, 1991
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved mandatory drug and alcohol testing for as many as 6.3 million transportation workers, as lawmakers responded to August's fatal subway crash in New York.
The legislation would require random tests for many workers in the airline, railroad, truck and bus industries, as well as for employees of local mass transit systems. Air traffic controllers and other Federal Aviation Administration workers also would be covered.
"People have a right to know that those to whom they're consigned in the area of mass transportation are free of substance abuse and sober," said Rep. William Hughes, D-N.J.
Hughes helped write the testing provisions along with Rep. Lawrence Coughlin, R-Pa., Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., and several other lawmakers.
The drug-testing language, on which there was no separate vote, was part of a $35.2 billion measure financing federal transportation programs for fiscal 1992, which began Oct. 1. The House approved the spending legislation on a 374-49 tally.
The measure is expected to be approved by the Senate as early as next week, and quickly signed into law by President Bush.
The overall bill contains about $600 million for road projects in lawmakers' home districts, $3.8 billion for mass transit programs and $2.4 billion to modernize aviation equipment throughout the country.
A dozen drug-testing bills similar to the measure debated Wednesday have been approved by the Senate since 1987, only to have been killed by the House.
Labor unions have vehemently fought the legislation in the past, and some -- such as the Air Line Pilots Association -- still oppose it. The pilots group contends the tests are an invasion of privacy and that there has never been a crash involving a scheduled airline caused by drug or alcohol abuse.
Nonetheless, union opposition has slackened since a speeding New York City subway train derailed Aug. 29, killing five people. Authorities said the driver had been drinking before reporting to work.
Since last year, government regulations have required random drug tests for aviation, trucking and bus industry workers whose jobs directly affect the public's safety. For example, airline pilots are subject to the tests but clerical workers employed by an airline are not.
The rules also require drug tests in those industries before a person is hired, after an accident and when the person is suspected of drug or alcohol abuse.
The legislation would, for the first time, require alcohol testing as well, extend all of the tests to commuter bus and rail lines and give the existing regulations the force of law.
Lawmakers say the testing program could cover 538,000 aviation workers, 31,800 air traffic controllers and other FAA employees, 90,000 railroad workers, 5.5 million truck and bus workers, and 195,000 mass transit employees.
The bill includes $2.5 million for bike paths in the Miami-area district of Rep. William Lehman, D-Fla., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee's transportation subcommittee.
It also has $4.8 million for road improvements and a parking garage near the North Philadelphia Amtrak station, which is just outside Coughlin's district. Coughlin is the subcommittee's ranking Republican.

Antonio Brown Flip-Flops Feelings on Tom Brady Yet Again
Bryan Colin
NFL, Sports
Antonio Brown has been a controversial figure in the NFL ever since he joined the league with his talent and fearlessness. In an interview, Antonio discussed switching to Nike's signature Air Max shoes. Brady fans are outraged because they believe that this is just another way for Antonio to slight Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady by sliding over him on social media platforms like Instagram despite what happened between them at last year's AFC championship game.
Antonio Brown, a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been one of Tom Brady's biggest critics throughout his career. This year, however, Brown changed his tune and said that he would love to play with Brady in the Super Bowl. Read more in detail here: antonio brown super bowl.
Brown, Antonio has been without a jersey since he walked out on Tom Brady and the rest of his Tampa Bay Buccaneers more than seven weeks ago. But the seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver doesn't seem to be ready to let go of the situation, does he?
And it seems like Brady is on Brown's bad side again, as AB went to Instagram on Monday to flip-flop his sentiments towards his former quarterback, as he has done many times since the notorious incident on January 2. Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians is on the same bad side as the rest of the team, and has been from the beginning of this saga. Brown, at the very least, has been consistent in this respect.
Brown played his last game with Tampa Bay the day after New Year's, a 28-24 Bucs triumph against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium, after missing more than two months of the 2021 NFL season with an ankle injury. Following a heated sideline confrontation in the third quarter, the five-time All-Pro pulled off his jersey and pads and sprinted off the field. Shortly after, he was cut from the team.
Brown insists that his ankle wasn't fit enough to play that day, a position he reiterated on Monday in his latest Bruce and Brady-bashing remarks.

In a post on his Instagram Stories on Monday, Brown posted an X-ray of his ankle and went back to the well of accusing the Buccaneers of sending him out onto the field in Week 17, knowing he was hurt. Writing on top of the photo, AB said the Bucs tried to "hurt me intentionally" and then went after Brady about targets, saying he was lied to. As he's done previously, he also bashed Arians and capped it off with one expletive to everyone.
"They attempted to purposefully harm me @buccaneers," he said.
"Sent me out there despite the fact that I was still hurting."
"Tom said if I came to play injured, he'd chuck it."
"Imagine getting wounded, having to play through this, and being misled to [sic] if he didn't throw it."
"Coach told me to get out of here if I couldn't run on this."
"F*** you all, MF."
"I still can't [sic] stop myself @nfl," he says.
Brown, Antonio
Bashing the Arians is exactly what AB has been doing from his initial remark about the event in January. But he's back to slamming Brady, the man who landed him the job with the Bucs in the first place, signaling another another shift in his attitude toward his former QB.
Brown has shown conflicting sentiments towards Brady on many occasions.
Brown, Antonio shared this tribute to Tom Brady on Instagram saying,
"Congratulations to the congratulate the congratulate the congratulate the congratulate the congratulate the

— 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 (@sportingnews) February 2, 2022
So, in the last seven weeks, we've gone from Brown being angry with Brady, to Brown being misunderstood about Brady, to Brown admiring Brady, and now back to Brown being angry with Brady. Is it close to the mark?
Brown said on an edition of the Full Send Podcast shortly after his release from the Bucs:
"A buddy is someone who has your back, in my opinion." In athletics, not everyone will be your buddy. Why is Tom Brady my friend? I'm an excellent football player, after all. He requires my participation in football. Friendship means various things to different people."
Brown, Antonio on Tom Brady
Brown eventually changed his mind, telling TMZ that his statements were taken out of context (always a classic) and that Brady is "one of my real pals" little over a week later. When Brady announced his retirement, AB paid respect to the seven-time Super Bowl winner on Instagram, thanking him for "allowing me to continue my career at my darkest periods and helping me become a champion."
And that brings us right back to now to a time where Brown is going with the "F*** you all, MF."" approach. As it goes with AB, we'll just have to wait and see what he says next.

Planning for the new Physical Sciences and Engineering Center (PSEC) for Foothill College began with a six-month long programming phase, during which the design team engaged college administrators, faculty and students in activities to identify programmatic requirements in keeping with the colleges mission to support the success of all of its students. Stakeholders participated in tours of like facilities, interactive user workshops and departmental interviews all lead by the design team. Five possible building sites were tested by the team to validate the recent Campus Master Plan concept and to arrive at a final location. In the end, the proposed Master Plan location proved not to be ideal.
The study included extensive cost modeling to test desired programs against the project budget. The culmination of this phase produced a document that would guide all subsequent design and formed an interactive record that could be referred to in each subsequent Phase, allowing all to monitor project progress. More importantly, the tremendous group effort and collaboration resulted in a plan that was owned by all participants. Science, technology, engineering and math programs at Foothill are associated with a series of successful outreach programs oriented towards local students of all ages and the Community. Physics Olympics, The Physics Show, Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, and Math My Way were conceived to engage and nurture anyone interested in the sciences and to produce the next generation of scientists needed in the Silicon Valley and beyond. Current plans call for a science courtyard to hold these events, with Cafe, Audio-visual and lighting systems in a thoughtfully landscaped open space bounded by the Laboratory, Classrooms and Commons Buildings.


Posture is just one component of your health, but it can have a surprisingly big impact. Luckily, there are a number of things you can do to fix your posture, and once you do, you might be pleased to find that you see improvements in all areas of your life.
3) Bad Mood: How you sit or stand seems to be completely separate from your mood, but your posture can actually play a role in your mental state.
4) Less Motivation: Someone who has proper posture appears more confident and approachable, which will affect many social situations.
7) Constipation: Bad posture slows the movement of your intestines and can back you up.
8) High Blood Pressure: Slumping while sitting and slouching while standing can end up leading to high blood pressure.
To attain the neutral spine position, put your shoulders down and back, pull your head back, and engage your core muscles. "Bring your belly button in toward your spine, as if you're zipping up a snug pair of jeans. This will help to engage the transverse abdominis muscle, which acts like a corset around the spine.
Other tips: Use a low back (lumbar) support pillow to remind you to sit upright in a chair, and change your position every 30 to 60 minutes.. "Be vigilant, and good posture will contribute to many aspects of health."

National League Central Preview (Daryll and Giuseppe)
Next up for Doubleday Double Talk's 2018 MLB season predictions will be the National League Central.
In 2018, the National League Central will be harder to predict than ever, with the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers making big moves this offseason and bolstering their already star-studded lineups. Will the Cubs be able to stay on top? Could the Brewers pull off an upset? Here to provide answers to these questions, are none other than your faithful Doubleday Double Talk writers Giuseppe Vitulli and Daryll Dorman.
So without further delay, here are Daryll and Giuseppe's predictions for the National League Central.
1. Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers finished 6.0 games behind the Chicago Cubs in 2017 and were in the race for the division until a second-half collapse took them out of both the division and Wild Card race. In 2018, after a string of offseason signings, the Brewers will be at the top of their game and I believe that they will be able to pull off an upset, and overthrow the Chicago Cubs for the division.
The Brewers signed outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich to accompany Domingo Santana, Keon Broxton, and Brett Phillips in the outfield. Travis Shaw (who had a breakout season in 2017) and Orlando Arcia will man the left side of the infield with Eric Sogard at second with power hitters Eric Thames and Ryan Braun platooning at first base. The Brewers' biggest question in 2018 will likely be their pitching staff. Their rotation is headed by Chase Anderson (who posted a 2.74 ERA in 2017), Zach Davis (3.90), and Jhoulys Chacin (3.89).
If the Brewers can put all of their pieces together in 2018, they will be a scary team, and the Cubs will have their hands full.
2. Chicago Cubs
After winning their first World Series since 1908 in 2016, the Cubs kept virtually the same team in 2017 but won 9 fewer games. After a somewhat down year (the 2016 Cubs were so good that we are scoffing at 92 wins and an NLCS appearance) I believe that even with the acquisition of Yu Darvish, the Cubs will continue their decline and fall to second place in their division.
The Cubs have superstar third baseman Kris Bryant, Addison Russel, Javier Baez, and Anthony Rizzo for one of the best infield squads in baseball. Chicago's outfield is not as glamorous with the overpaid and underwhelming Jason Heyward in right, Albert Almora Jr. in center, and Kyle Shwarber (who has thus far not lived up to the hype) in left, and 2016 World Series MVP Ben Zobrist as the utility outfielder. Chicago's pitching staff is a sound one with Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks, the newly acquired Yu Darvish, Jose Quintana, and Tyler Chatwood. The Cubs will likely repeat as 90+ game winners in 2018, I'm just counting on the Brewers to be better.
3. St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals are 2-years removed from the Postseason and are desperately trying to harness the magic that got them there so consistently. Despite their valiant efforts, and the acquisition of Marcell Ozuna this offseason, I can't see them pulling it off.
The Cardinals have a star-studded outfield manned by offseason acquiree Marcell Ozuna (LF), Tommy Pham (CF), and Dexter Fowler (RF), and a great infield with Jed Gyorko (3B), Paul DeJong (SS), Kolten Wong (2B), and Matt Carpenter (1B). St. Louis also has veteran defensive wizard catcher Yadier Molina to bring the team together. The Cardinals have a good pitching rotation as well with Carlos Martinez, Michael Wacha, and Adam Wainwright, but their bullpen is not very reliable. The Cardinals will have a good team in 2018, but it won't be able to be very competitive with the Cubs and Brewers.
4. Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds are not in a much better situation after the 3rd season of their rebuild then they were when they started. To be blunt, the Reds will continue to play horrible baseball with Scott Schebler, Billy Hamilton, and Adam Duval in the outfield from right to left, and Eugenio Suarez, Jose Peraza, Scooter Gennett, and Joey Votto manning the infield from 3rd to 1st. The Reds' 2018 will be another season down the drain and another wasted year of Joey Votto's prime.
At least they still have Joey Votto.
5. Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates were a subpar team in 2017, but after trading away the face of their franchise in Andrew McCutchen and their ace in Gerrit Cole, the Pirates will be a tire fire to watch. It is hard to see the Pirates competing for anything in 2018, not even fourth place in the NL Central. Pirates fans will have very little to root for in 2018 and Pittsburgh is heading towards its 3rd consecutive losing season. At least the draft pick will be high.
The key to the NL Central in 2018 just might be…Tyler Chatwood. You know that feeling when you put a donut on your bat as you do your on deck swings, then take it off and you feel like you can hit the ball a mile? Chatwood is going from a pitchers nightmare of Coors Field to not exactly Petco Park – but to sea level for crying out loud in Chicago. He has struggled with injuries in the past – but has made 25 or more starts the last two seasons and will be pitcher #3 or 4 in the Cubs rotation. Last season he struck out a career-best 7.3/9 innings and this will serve him well. Anecdotally, I saw him pitching great in a Spring Training game this week. I like Yu Darvish and of course, Quintana in the rotation – and their offense should be just fine – especially if Kyle Schwarber 2.0 is a thing and just maybe Jason Heyward goes to the bench. The Cubs didn't do all that rebuilding for just one World Championship…
The team that aside from their Midwest brethren Minnesota Twins won the off-season, looks to build on a great 2017 that saw the team with the lowest payroll in baseball competing until the bitter end. I love their additions and while I have serious questions about the rotation, the offense should be there and improved. They take other teams rejects like Travis Shaw, Eric Thames, Visalia, CA native Stephen Vogt – and give them the chance to be stars. I have a feeling this might be the year if they hang close they WILL go out at the trade deadline to make the playoffs in 2018.
I almost feel like the Cardinals are bound to finish second or first in this division just because they always seem to…Tommy Pham was a quiet 20-20 player last season who also hit over .300, and with another former Marlin Marcell Ozuna in left and Dexter Fowler in right, this outfield is athletic and has some power. All of a sudden Adam Wainwright is 36 years old though and 3rd on the SP depth chart and Luke Gregerson seems first in line to lose the closer job in 2018. In the end, I think their rotation has too much instability and not a big fan of the bullpen. Mike Matheny might be managing for his job by June.
While this team lost franchise cornerstones in Andrew McCutchen and Gerrit Cole, I still think they have a lot of talent left on the roster. Joe Musgrove is a pitcher to watch who they received for Cole, with other young arms like Jameson Taillon and Chad Kuhl in the rotation. The outfield is now made up of Corey Dickerson, Gregor Polanco and Starling Marte, who should feel some blame for the teams slow 2017 start after his PED violation. Okay – but not good enough to really challenge in the division.
Every once in awhile we see a glimpse of a pitcher early in their career and just think we glimpse greatness. Such was the case watching Francisco Rodriguez in late 2002, a young David Price in 2008, and was Brandon Finnegan with the Royals in 2014. His second year as a starter saw him injured again last year except for 4 starts, but the Reds are a great place for him to extend himself and see what he has to offer in the future. He is only 24. Homer Bailey is lucky to be a Reds favorite because nowhere else would he still be thrown out there as the number 2 starter when he hasn't had an ERA under 5.50 in the last three seasons and started 2, 6, and 18 games respectively. As Giuseppe pointed out as well..they still do have Joey Votto at least.
Make sure to tune in tomorrow for Daryll and Giuseppe's predictions for the National League West.

Extant Season 1
Movies and Videos thevictorchen 8/10/2015 5,994 Views
Extant is a science fiction TV show I've recently gotten hooked into. It follows the wild life of an astronaut, Molly Woods (played by Halle Berry). It explores the dynamics of a multi-dimensional family consistent of three species: human, alien, and robot. Each species has their own objective in survival. The biggest question becomes how do the dominant race (the humans) work through the challenges of an alien invasion at the same time as the beginning of self-aware robots?
To be honest, I was drawn into the show when I saw Halle Berry was part of the cast. And because the trailer had a theme of extinction, I was further convinced that this was a TV show I'd enjoy. After blazing through season 1, Extant has become one of my new favorite TV shows.
The robot theme of Extant reminded me of the movie I Robot, which I enjoyed as an action movie. But Extant dives deeper into the world of robotics than I Robot did. Watching Ethan (the robot boy) intellectually grow up from a child with the kindness of his makers was something worth pondering about. Will the world we live in be wise enough to program robots to be kind, or will robots be militarized at the first chance?
