From personal experience and the desire to educate the public about the health care system, an Ohio State alumnus created a one-man show.
Michael Milligan is returning to Columbus to perform “Mercy Killers” at the Van Fleet Theater Wednesday through March 9.
“Mercy Killers” focuses on America’s dysfunctional health insurance system, Milligan said.
“What most people don’t realize is that in the majority of those bankruptcies, the person involved actually had insurance at the onset of their health crisis,” said Milligan in a press release. The play is about a man, Joe, struggling with these issues when his wife is diagnosed with cancer.
Seats for the play are free but reservations are strongly encouraged, according to the press release.
Milligan said he did not want the price of the ticket to keep anyone from coming to see it.
“I believe that health care is a public good and I also believe that the arts is a public good,” Milligan told The Lantern. “This show is like an experiment. What is it like when I remove my play from being a commodity? What is it like if we look at health care as something other than a commodity?”
Milligan said he wants OSU students to attend the play to educate them on the health care system, as most college students have insurance through their school or parents. He described the health care system as a “hindrance to the American idea of free enterprise and risk taking.”
“The intention of the play is to put a human face to some of the statistics that we hear about,” Milligan said. “I just want people’s hearts to be touched and woken up so that as a society we can begin to move towards the recognition of health care as a basic human right and public good as opposed to a privilege of the affluent class. I want people to see it and be motivated to transforming this system.”
Milligan said the inspiration for the performance comes from personal experience.
“I had that experience of being in a relationship with someone who is struggling with the health care system and that impacted the relationship and our financial situations because we are both artists,” he said.
Milligan also said he started to pass kidney stones when he was experiencing a gap in his insurance coverage.
“I was crawling across the floor to the computer to try and diagnose myself,” Milligan said.
He felt this financial uncertainty for the first time and felt the need to write about it.
The former Buckeye was drawn to the one-man show format because its portability makes it easier to perform in a number of different venues. Milligan said he enjoyed “the intimacy you have with the audience when doing a one-man show.”
Milligan is collaborating with Single Payer Action Network Ohio, a statewide coalition that advocates for a national health care system where everyone is guaranteed full coverage.
Debbie Silverstein, the state director for SPAN Ohio, said collaboration with Milligan “is (designed) to educate people about our health care system and enter into discussion with them about what we need to do to make it work for everybody.”
SPAN Ohio worked to fund other venues to make “Mercy Killers” go statewide. It has reserved places in Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton and Athens for Milligan to perform, Silverstein said. SPAN Ohio is also available after the show to help Milligan in his discussion with the audience about health care issues.
Donations are welcome at the door and after the play, Milligan said. The money goes to securing venues for his performances around the country.
The play is presented by On the Verge Productions, which was started in 2008.
John Kuhn, the founder and media contact for On the Verge, described the one-man show as a “pretty sparse” setting and a low-technical type of play.
“It’s really just Michael and the script,” Kuhn said. “(It is) basically him and his story and his soul there sitting in front of the audience.”
Kuhn and Milligan have known each other since their time at OSU “back in the ’90s,” performing together in the theater department, Kuhn said. They have collaborated before in the spirit of promoting completely original works.
Milligan will make a high-quality video of the play and make it available to different health care advocacy programs.
“I am giving this play over to the public domain. It feels appropriate to do that,” he said.
The actor said he also plans on traveling around the country performing “Mercy Killers” for probably another year.
“People are going to get their money’s worth … Oh wait,” Milligan said.
The Van Fleet Theater is located at 549 Franklin Ave.


Right 2020, That’s Enough Out of You
Ahhhh……where to begin?
‘Season’s Greetings from Scotland!’ is inappropriately cheery.
‘I hope you’re all well’ appears almost sarcastic.
‘It’ll be better next year’ sounds recklessly optimistic.
Aye, turns out summarising this unforgettable year is no easy task. What a time to be alive as we survey the destruction wrought by the wrecking ball of COVID-19 on our health, our economies, our cultures and our very way of life. I’ll take an unavoidable peek (as much as I can bear) at the damage to the tourism industry alongside a more upbeat look at some hopes for what’s next. I’ll reflect a little on Harris’ debut year as my canine sidekick and about a pretty huge personal change that will direct the majority of my 2021. And I’ll raise a glass in the hope for better days for us all as the holidays approach.
2020 – A Year Forever to be Whispered
Fear, intolerance, selfishness, arrogance, duplicity and dishonesty.
What an absolute mess it’s been and these are just some of the words that spring to mind whenever I take stock of the ugly that has been on display in recent months. While being raging furious with a virus is a pretty pointless endeavour, there’s plenty of easy targets upon whom to hurl some blame. Principally, where have the world’s leaders been? Temporarily parking political leanings for a sec, too many high-powered individuals across the planet have been found so desperately wanting, at the time when they’ve been most needed. The media too, so crucial in setting the tone that we all tap along to, have often preferred to fuel unnecessary fires.
Meanwhile, people have died. Businesses have been forever lost. Relationships have been damaged. Everyday, taken-for-granted, freedoms have been stolen. It has been a uniquely grim year for us as a civilisation. For those of us on this continent, the added twist of Brexit’s climax is now also currently upon us, bringing a new wave of uncertainty and depressing, aggressive media rhetoric. It’s been the year we lost Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, Diego Maradona, Diana Rigg, Darth Vader and Bilbo Baggins. Sean Connery died. A good friend of mine died. Cancer entered my inner circle for the first time, so very nearly taking someone very special. And, just this weekend, Christmas has been all but cancelled.
Yes. Individually and societally, it’s been the year of ‘unprecedented’, ‘isolation’, ‘quarantine’, ‘crisis’, ‘lockdown’, ‘furlough’, ‘distancing’ and ‘staying safe’. And it has sucked. So, to all who have suffered this year, and especially those who have lost loved ones, you have all my sympathy.
But we sift, that’s what we do. We seek the other side of the coin, the light at the end of the tunnel and the silver linings when the clouds part. Bravery, resilience, hope, compassion, strength, resoluteness and self-sacrifice. If you look hard enough, there’s been plenty of that on display amidst the rubble too. That’s the stuff that keeps us looking forward to the brighter days ahead.
Travel and the state of tourism in Scotland
As I’ve outlined in a couple of posts earlier in the year, it’s very obviously been a catastrophic year for the industry. Grievously wounding the entire season as Covid did by hitting hardest in the spring, a partial summer recovery (for some, not all) faded quickly with the arrival of the second wave a couple of months ago. The winter has brought variations of lockdown back to Scotland’s main population centres and plunged tourism back into icy darkness. At the precise time when we’d all be looking for some excitement and the self-rewards of travel, we’ve been robbed of even that.
All of 2020’s major events have been cancelled, including the lucrative whoppers like the Edinburgh Festival and Hogmanay. International visitor numbers have collapsed and although more locals from Britain are travelling closer to home than ever, they don’t spend nearly as much and won’t come close to plugging the economic void that has appeared. Thus, an industry that was going through huge year-on-year growth has gone into full reverse, backing over a lot of hopes and aspirations in the process.
Even with restrictions lifted in the peak season, some businesses considered the efforts of opening (and complying with the safety rules) to be more hassle than it was worth. It’s been a good year for the cobwebs. Others went for it, but have seen staff have to multiply their efforts to ensure safety. All working in frontline hospitality would justifiably and ordinarily be in line for a generous bonus this year, if only there was cash left in the till.
But don’t jump in the tub with the toaster just yet, folks. Tourism will return, of this we can be sure. The faces will be different, the numbers diluted at first, but the desire to travel is strong within us all. We want and need experiences, memories, adventures and freshness in our lives. We’ve not packed our last suitcase. But, it will be different from now on. Even in the best-case scenario of a flawless vaccine, rapid rollout and no ‘third wave’, 2021 will still see lots of masks, hand sanitisers, social distancing, pre-bookings, reduced flights, fewer accommodation options and high anxiety. We’ve a bumpy time yet.
Tourism too has become about much more than having a nice wee holiday now and then. We’re seeing deep consequences and repercussions from the seemingly innocent act of enjoying ourselves. The second wave here is being attributed to travellers’ holidays taken when lockdown was lifted in summer. Travel-shaming is rife, whether it’s justified or not.
Most alarming for me is the impact on our rural communities, especially those on the isles. The flood of interest this year in buying property in scenic locations (often for the purposes of second and holiday homes) has seen an astronomical rise in both property valuations and housing that sits empty for the vast majority of the year. This also means that locals are increasingly unable to afford the vastly inflated prices now needed to live there. Young people of working age – a large percentage of whom would work in tourism incidentally – certainly can’t. And, if no-one of working age can live there then, obviously, no-one can work there. And if there are no services or businesses operating there, no-one (regardless of age or financial means) can realistically live there, unless they are entirely self-sufficient. It’s an alarming circle and has become relatively big news, chillingly being referred to as ‘The Second Clearances’. Think about that for a moment. A Clearance. The prospect of numerous islands going the same way as St Kilda and being evacuated completely of residents, doomed to abandonment and the end of a unique culture and way of life. It’s no longer unimaginable.
What I’ve Been Up To
I chose early on to sit the summer out entirely, only restarting on the travel writing and blogging stuff when the calm of autumn brought with it a small window in which to safely remind you good people that Scotland will be waiting for you on the other side. With business opportunities reduced, it wasn’t a difficult decision economically or ethically for me to focus on other projects. It’s a bad time to be a travel writer and fortunately I have alternative sources of income to fall back on.
It’s also presented me with the opportunity to pen my first ever novel. With the first of what could well be a trilogy now halfway towards completion, I have dived into the medieval world of Scotland’s Wars of Independence in the late 13th Century. The world of publishing is in a very complicated state at the moment so I’m not entirely sure what the future holds for its distribution (negotiations are on-going) but it’ll hopefully be available for consumption later next year.
Travel-wise, I did cram in various promotional trips in September and October to Aberdeenshire, Inverness-shire and Loch Ness, the Lothians and the Scottish Borders. Not as much as I’d have liked of course, but more than I’d envisaged back in the spring. And hopefully just enough to keep Scotland prominent on your travel radar.
I felt I had to turn my back on all of our islands this year, a gut-wrencher.
However, spiralling misery aside, I’ve also been working away on the really important stuff. Life stuff. Taking the opportunities that have come with this damn thing to step back, reflect, reset and focus on what’s most important. It’s all there is for it, along with reading and the odd stint going back in time to take frustrations out on the PlayStation. But things were missing in my life and I’ve made it a very busy year making some big changes.
Harris has been the biggest. I’ve wanted to have a dog companion for my travels for years, but the timing has never been right. Puppies especially require an enormous amount of attention and consideration, the kind you can’t fairly give when running businesses on your own and spending a lot of time on the go. He’s brought plenty of challenges but he’s also been a delight for us, a joyous new member of the family and he’s only going to improve as a Scotland travel buddy in the years to come.
It’s also been the year when I’ve taken the steep steps to make a bold geographic move. The Highlands have had an emotional grip on me since childhood, but the challenges of rural living (and of leaving Glasgow, my home) always blocked any prospect of making the jump. Covid (and the deafening absence of any objection from Harris) gave the push. As of March, I’ll primarily be based on the west coast of Lochaber. Doon by the watter.
2021 – A Year of Change
This would usually be the point at which I’d rattle off a to-do list for the year ahead, make some predictions and outline my proposed travel plans. A room full of people laughing hysterically at me has just entered my mind’s eye. So, I’ll just say that it promises to be interesting. Challenging yes, but hopefully with unusual and unexpected opportunities for us all too. In many ways, it’s hard to imagine things getting worse, but there’s no question we’re not home free yet.
I’ll still not be blogging or social media’ing with 2019 levels of frequency I expect, but hopefully more so than this year. Nature and the outdoors will take priority in all that I publish because that’s what folk, myself included, are crying out for more than ever. Mountains, hills, beaches and lochs seem likely to feature heavily as I get exploring my new Highland neighbourhood. There will definitely be west coast islands to visit close to my new base, just as soon as it is safe. History will be there too no doubt, although may be less attraction-based than usual. I’ll probably waffle on about the vivacious, life-affirming power of nature and the mental importance of a good roamin’ in the gloamin’. Harris will bounce along in the heather with me I’m sure. I’ll spend more time in the water than I’d previously ever considered sane. The first novel will hopefully be completed. I may learn a little Gaelic. I’ll listen hard to what Scotland enthusiasts crave, and I’ll try and deliver.
And I, like Scotland itself, will be waiting for the chance to welcome you all back again.
Merry Christmas, and stay safe.

On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse swept across the continental United States from Oregon to South Carolina. Millions of people stood looking up at the sky, their mouths agape, as the Sun’s disk was completely covered by the Moon. For many people, the experience of day turning into night and back into day, and the sight of the Sun’s corona streaming out behind the dark circle of the Moon, is a picture they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.

she can. During her visit to Pakistan, Malala has meetings with Pakistan’s prime minister, who gives his support to Malala’s education project.
In her speech to him, Malala says:
“Pakistan’s future generations are the greatest asset we have. We must invest in children’s education... so that women can be empowered, work, stand on their own two feet and support themselves.”
Malala with girls from Chibok in Nigeria who were abducted from their school by the terrorist group Boko Haram. 112 of the 276 girls who were abducted are still missing.
On Malala Day 2017, Malala visited refugee children from Syria in Iraq.
“I think it’s important for girls to boost their self-confidence first, and then we can work together to tackle the challenges from outside,” says Malala. She has met Nigeria’s prime minister and explained that policies and money are needed to fund 12 years of free and safe, high-quality education for every girl.

This morning I ventured outside and immersed myself in the warmth of the sun and the wind tickling my face. I was really appreciating the beauty and the tranquility. Fast forward fifteen minutes later, and I am a raving lunatic. You see, it happens. It’s called the roller coaster ride of life.
I was feeling very content. My piping hot bowl of caffeine coupled with the newspaper provided all the necessary tools to relax and enjoy my morning. That is until I noticed something odd. My column appears on the Saturday edition of our local paper. For those of you unfamiliar, it is a light and airy feature of home decor. I love every aspect of the details that come together for this piece. That is until the beautiful home’s location was revealed……in every photo. Like being punched in the stomach, my breath left my body and all I could think of were my gracious homeowners that trusted me.
Instantly, I went from tranquil to frantically extinguishing fires. Readers sending me emails questioning my ethics, contacting the homeowners to soothe their concerns, and alerting my editor. After all that, I realized that I am completely powerless. Mistakes happen. Unfortunately, this was a pretty big one that was completely out of my realm of control. I keep going over and over in my head if I could have done anything different. Fortunately, the homeowners have been very understanding, but I still feel that tug of responsibility. I feel like I let them down and betrayed their trust.
Now, I am trying to compose myself. Regaining some sort of peace as I move forward with my day and knowing that this too shall pass. I think I will go back outside and commune with nature. That should be safe, right?

Chelsea Four players not will be without Southampto against Chelsea as Graham Potter eyes ‘big’ challenge
Chelsea will be anxious to beat Southampton, who is still without a permanent manager, in order to get back to winning ways.
Prior to their weekend trip to Stamford Bridge, Southampton may be missing as many as four players. On February 18, Chelsea will welcome the Saints to west London as Graham Potter attempts to go back to winning ways.
The Blues have lost all four of their games in all competitions, with their lone victory coming last month against Crystal Palace. Chelsea has had trouble scoring points lately, but their performances are gradually getting better.
Potter’s team is presently 10th in the Premier League, four points behind Newcastle United in fourth place. Southampton, on the other hand, is fighting for survival without a manager as they are at the bottom of the standings.
At St Mary’s Stadium, assistant coach Ruben Selles has taken over after Nathan Jones was fired earlier this week. In a press conference before the Saints game, Potter described the special difficulties a team without a permanent manager faces.
The Chelsea manager added, “You’re not sure at all how they’re going to go.” Because they are a caretaker manager and have had a week to plan and gather ideas, “everything can come at you pretty much.” The difficulty is that previous occurrences do not serve as a guide. We need to concentrate on what we do well and on ourselves before ensuring that we are prepared for the challenge. A significant obstacle is heading our way.”
Southampton may be without four crucial players in addition to having a manager. In light of this, football.london has looked at players the Saints may be without against the Blues.
Selles remarked in a press conference prior to Southampton’s matchup with Chelsea: “Juan Larios first suffered an injury, and then Tino Livramento.
“These wounds require long-term care. a few boys who didn’t work out at the start of the week but did at the conclusion.”
In April, Livramento suffered a severe knee injury as a result of a clumsy landing during Southampton’s 2-2 draw with Brighton. Following a scan, it was discovered that the former Chelsea defender needed surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament tear. The 20-year-old is still taking care of his wound.
Adams will likely not play against Chelsea, according to Selles. The Scottish international has faced off against the Blues seven times throughout his career and has personally assisted in four goals.
Che Adams is questionable for tomorrow, he said, but that’s all. “We will be prepared with everything, and we have a sizable squad to choose from.”
Walker-Peters suffered a hamstring injury and had to leave the field in the first half of Southampton’s Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle at St. James’ Park at the end of January. After continuing his recovery, the defender has not yet made a comeback.
Due to a similar ailment, he already missed four games in October and November. If the Premier League hadn’t been postponed until mid-December due to the World Cup, he would have likely missed more.

Growing up in Vernon, New York, Andy Mower could be found sweeping the floors of his dad’s feed mill and premix business. As he got older, Andy’s responsibilities grew, as did his interest in agronomy.
After six years in the U.S. Army, Andy earned degrees in dairy nutrition from Cornell University and agronomy from Iowa State University. To round out his education, Andy studied business at Purdue University and Nichols Financial.
After graduation, he started a premix business of his own. And in 1995, Andy incorporated Pioneer seeds into Performance Premixes. He started with just 800 bags of Pioneer® corn.
But the company quickly grew, so along came a new warehouse. And then the business outgrew that, too. Three locations and several years later, Andy found himself building a state-of-the-art, 60-by-200-square-foot warehouse, complete with a loading dock, SLV workshop, and soybean treater.
More than 30 years later, Andy is as dedicated as ever to continuing his father’s legacy. He places an emphasis on teamwork and providing service that is second to none. From agronomist Allen to the dairy specialists at Performance Premixes, Andy’s entire team takes pride in the fact that they have their growers’ and farmers’ best interests at heart.
“Assisting the best dairy and grain farmers with growing food for the world is truly a dream come true,” says Andy. “I love building relationships and seeing their crops grow successfully, knowing they came from Pioneer Hi-bred Seeds. And while we’ll be available for the great times, we’ll also be there when things are not the best — that’s the Performance Premixes way.”

Damian & Stephen Marley Set Up Shop on West Coast
Damian Marley Tour
Stephen & Damian Marley, sons of legendary reggae and music icon Bob Marley, have announced 2013 summer tour dates in support of Damian’s album Set Up Shop. The two brothers have previously collaborated on numerous projects, often with Stephen Marley as the producer. This year is the tenth anniversary of their release as the Marley Boyz, and these 2013 Stephen & Damian Marley live shows will similarly feature artists from Ghetto Youths International.
While Stephen is often recognized as a producer in this particular pairing, he has had quite a bit of success as a reggae artist in his own right, including the 2012 Grammy for Revelation Pt. 1: The Root of Life. Stephen Marley is six years Damian’s senior, and he played a prominent role with Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers for many years. Damian Marley’s album Welcome to Jamrock is by far the most successful solo album of either (the 2005 release was certified Gold), and his collaboration with Nas, Distant Relatives, actually surged to the No. 1 spot on the R&B charts back in 2010. Fans of both Marley brothers should be excited for the live presentation of an album as collaborative as the current release, Set Up Shop: Volume 1.

If you're worried about climate change, the recent news that 2014 was the hottest year on record didn't help your anxiety. But here's at least one positive bit of news to ease your mind a little. Researchers have discovered that tropical forests -- in reaction to rising atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide -- may be absorbing far more of the greenhouse gas than previously believed.
A NASA-led study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, estimates that tropical forests annually absorb 1.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide out of a total global absorption of 2.5 billion metric tons. That's more than is absorbed by the boreal forest in Canada, Siberia and other northern regions, the researchers say.
VIDEO: Should We Control Wildfires?
"This is good news, because uptake in boreal forests is already slowing, while tropical forests may continue to take up carbon for many years," lead author David Schimel of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., said in a press release.
The planet's wooded areas have been a big part of slowing the effects of increased human output of carbon dioxide, a process called sequestration. Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, storing some of it in their wood and leaves, and transferring some to the soil through their roots, as this article from the U.S. Forest Service's website explains. Forests and other vegetation take care of about 30 percent of human carbon emissions. But if that rate of absorption ever slows, the the rise in global temperature would speed up as a consequence.
NEWS: Human Survival Depends Upon Forests, According to UN Report
For the past quarter-century, climate scientists have believed that the northern forests were sequestering more carbon dioxide than the tropical forests, based upon what was then understood about global air flow, and the belief that massive deforestation in tropical areas was causing those forests to emit more carbon than they were storing. But in the mid-2000s, Britton Stephens of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, who is another of the study's co-authors, studied measurements made by aircraft and concluded that existing climate models were underestimating tropical forests' carbon absorption. This new study builds upon that view.

Penn State’s offense, in recent years, has probably been best known for running backs Saquon Barkley, Miles Sanders and Journey Brown. But the Nittany Lions really make their hay on deep passes to their tight ends and receivers.
PSU had 59 passes of 20 yards or more in 2017, 50 in 2018, 41 in 2019 and, this season, 12 in three games. The Nittany Lions’ rushing attack, decimated by injuries at running back, is nevertheless used, Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said, to set up a big-play passing game that will have the Huskers’ secondary on their toes.
“It’s going to be a big week for them,” Chinander said of his defensive backs. He noted that Penn State’s new offensive coordinator, Kirk Ciarrocca, was previously at Minnesota, which gashed Nebraska’s defense last year with a steady diet of outside zone runs and deep playaction passes.
“It’s going to be a lot of hard, hard, play action, and you’ve got a tendency to see some safeties sucked up,” Chinander said. “That’s what creates those big passing plays on the outside. Your corners, a lot of times, are playing mano-a-mano, just because of the safeties.”
Safeties are often used as run support players, so if a team — like Minnesota did last year — is having success running the ball, safeties will naturally flow more to stopping that play. Penn State can work a run-pass option — or an RPO — into its offense, too, in which the quarterback can choose between handing the ball off or throwing a quick pass, often a slant, to a receiver.
“You just can’t fall asleep out there when they’re trying to pound the ball and pound the ball and flip in an RPO, pound the ball, flip in an RPO and then, boom, here comes the big shot,” Chinander said. “That’s always a test for those guys to stay mentally locked in for 75-80 plays.”
Offense, defense ready for faster pace
Nebraska’s offense has yet to shift into a higher gear through two games. Its coaches hinted that might be coming this week.
The reaction from the defensive side Tuesday? Bring it on.
Quicker drives on offense mean more snaps for the Blackshirts, who defended 69 plays against Ohio State and 65 against Northwestern. Those totals are relatively low, coach Scott Frost said this week, in part because he wanted to protect the defense.
Chinander said the defense, which has generally performed well in the early going, should be happy whenever it gets on the field. Every play is a chance for a turnover, a sack or a big hit.
“We all came here to play football, not sit on the bench,” Chinander said. “Whatever (Frost) wants to do on offense, that’s up to him, that’s great. We just gotta be able to go play when it’s our turn. When the bell’s called, we gotta answer it.”
NU’s defense saw a per-game average of about 69 plays in 2019 and more than 74 in 2018. When the coaching staff was at UCF in 2016 and 2017, the totals hovered around the mid-70s.
Outside linebacker Garrett Nelson said the Huskers can see and feel the unit’s improvement among themselves. With depth allowing for rotations at every position, there’s no reason the group should shy away from all the action it can get.
“We don’t get upset when something happens on offense or you gotta go out there for a really long drive,” Nelson said. “We embrace the fact we get to play football, we get to go hit people on the other side. … No matter how many plays that offense gives us, we get to be out there with each other and playing and having fun.”
Lubick said Nebraska each week searches for a good “tempo opportunity” — something in the opposing defense that would show it might not handle a quick pace well. When the Huskers are really humming, they can snap the ball every 10-12 seconds.
But it’s hard to do, Lubick said, if penalties crop up and explosive plays are rare outside the quarterback run game. Sometimes in a key longer-distance situation, it’s better to trade in speed for making sure all the details are right for a given play call.
Nebraska ran 56 plays against Ohio State and 88 on Northwestern. It has averaged about 72 snaps per game offensively the previous two seasons under Frost.
Franklin, Nittany Lions searching for first win
Penn State is doing some soul searching amid an 0-3 start to the season. As such, the questions Tuesday from media members were much more focused on the Nittany Lions — and not so much about their next opponent.
PSU coach James Franklin conducted a press conference that went longer than 40 minutes — Nebraska coach Scott Frost’s are usually half that — as he fielded questions about the program’s longest skid since dropping four straight games to end 2015. He talked opt-outs, buy-in, culture and how to help good practices translate to good games.
“At the end of the day, we gotta get it done,” Franklin said. “It’s our job to make sure we get back on that plane on Saturday for a long flight and that our players are excited about getting on that plane and flying back to Happy Valley.”
Franklin opened his availability with a short scout of the Huskers, noting the uncertainty at quarterback between junior Adrian Martinez and redshirt freshman Luke McCaffrey.
“Obviously we expect to at least see them both,” he said.
COVID-19 has weighed heavily on his mind, Franklin said. His family is in Florida indefinitely as a precautionary measure. When one reporter asked how he was doing, he answered “Good” before circling back and saying “That’s probably not an honest answer — but I appreciate you asking.”
Franklin likened Nebraska’s defensive scheme to the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and said opportunities will be there to make plays if they can take advantage. Competing in an empty Memorial Stadium will also be a different sort of task than entering a hostile, sold-out venue.
“This is 2020; you’ve got to embrace it,” Franklin said. “Your energy needs to come from your team and from your staff and from your sideline.”
Penn State is starting a season 0-3 for the first time since 2001 following losses to Indiana, Ohio State and Maryland. Amid injuries and roster turnover, multiple players said Tuesday their path to victory this weekend will be by locking in on their own play.
“I don’t really know much about Nebraska,” redshirt freshman cornerback Joey Porter Jr. said. “I’ve never really looked into it. I just know they’re a really good team.”
Farniok centers in on new O-line role
Matt Farniok has dabbled with snapping footballs for a while. After all, he figures, it’s good to be able to do a little of everything.
But as much as the fifth-year senior has done along Nebraska’s offensive line in recent seasons — he now has appeared in 33 career games, including 30 starts — Farniok received a new assignment leading up to the Northwestern game last week.
NU starting center Cam Jurgens was out with an injury. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound Farniok, whose name rarely came up among coaches when discussing other center options in the offseason, was in.
“The main focus was just getting the ball to the quarterback,” Farniok said.
The speed of the game is similar to right guard, he said, where he began against Ohio State after 24 straight starts at right tackle the previous two years. He had to verbalize the calls at center, but they always run through his mind anyway, he said.
With Jurgens day to day, it’s possible Farniok is again the man holding the football Saturday against Penn State.
Ironically, Farniok said, his little brother is to thank for his smooth transition Saturday that had Frost saying it was perhaps the lineman’s best college game. Sophomore Will Farniok, one of the backup centers along with Trent Hixson, had been working occasionally with his brother on snaps in recent months. Proper stance, footwork and lots of reps were all part of the instruction.
“I think Matt was our best offensive lineman in that (Northwestern) game,” Frost said Monday. “It's a credit to him that he's able to do all those things. He's a team captain for a reason, and I'm sure he'll be ready to play whatever role we ask him this week.”
» Nelson said he loves playing for outside linebackers coach Mike Dawson because of the commitment Dawson requires from his group on a daily basis.
» Husker guard Ethan Piper said NU defensive tackle Ty Robinson is a vastly improved player because “he really bulked up.”
“He’s very big, very strong, very athletic,” Piper said. “I think he has a very bright future ahead of him.”

The phrase “minimum essential coverage” (MEC) became part of our health insurance vocabulary along with the Affordable Care Act (ACA, also referred to as “Obamacare”).
Minimum essential coverage is a way to identify which types of health insurance policies fulfill the ACA’s individual mandate.
Between 2014 and 2019, if you went more than three months without ACA-qualifying “minimum essential coverage”, you owed a tax penalty.
The individual mandate tax was eliminated in 2017, and went into effect beginning January 1, 2019, meaning that from that point on, if you do not carry “minimum essential coverage” you will not owe a federal tax penalty. However, some states are enacting state-level legislation that could restore penalties for not maintaining MEC.
Even with the tax penalty gone, any individual major medical insurance policy that you buy today, in the private marketplace or directly from an insurance company, must meet the requirements of “minimum essential coverage” and be considered a “qualified health plan.”
What Are Qualified Health Plans?
Qualified health plans:
- Are certified by the Health Insurance Marketplace
- Provide the essential health benefits
- Follow established limits on cost-sharing (deductibles, copay, coinsurance and out-of-pocket limits)
- Meet other requirements under the ACA.
Qualified health plans are broken down into four coverage levels, identified by metal tiers:
- A Bronze plan must cover 60% of expected costs for the average individual
- A Silver plan must cover 70% of expected costs
- A Gold plan must cover 80% of expected costs
- A Platinum plan must cover 90% of expected costs
The “qualified health plan” distinction is important because there are other types of individual health insurance you can purchase, like hospital indemnity plans or short term health plans, that are not considered minimum essential coverage and are not governed by the ACA.
These plans typically have fewer benefits, less coverage and more exclusions than MEC health plans.
What Counts as Minimum Essential Coverage?
Coverage does not have to be a qualified health plan to be considered minimum essential coverage. For instance, grandmothered and grandfathered policies, state-run high-risk pools, and Medicare and Medicaid policies count as minimum essential coverage, but may not include all the essential health benefits needed to be considered a qualified health plan as defined by the ACA.
Plans that qualify as minimum essential coverage fall into three general categories:
Employer-sponsored coverage includes coverage offered in the small or large group market within a state, and coverage provided by a government employer (such as the Federal Employees Health Benefits program).
Examples of employer-sponsored coverage includes:
- A grandfathered or grandmothered health plan offered in a group market
- A self-insured health plan for employees
- COBRA coverage
- Retiree coverage
- Coverage under an expatriate health plan (a group health plan for individuals and any covered dependent who reside outside of their home country for at least six months of the plan year)
- Department of Defense NAF Health Benefits Program (Department of Defense nonappropriated fund (NAF) employees work in military exchanges and morale, welfare and recreation programs.)
Individual market coverage
Individual market coverage includes:
- Health insurance you purchase directly from an insurance company
- Health insurance you purchase through the Marketplace
- Health insurance provided through a student health plan
- Catastrophic coverage
- Coverage under an expatriate health plan for non-employees such as students and missionaries
- Grandmothered policies (plans purchased after the ACA was signed into law, but before the bulk of the ACA’s provisions took effect)
- Grandfathered policies (plans already in effect when the ACA was signed into law and that have not been significantly changed since then)
Coverage under government-sponsored programs
Government-sponsored program coverage includes:
- Medicare Part A coverage
- Medicare Advantage plans
- Most Medicaid coverage. Medicaid programs that provide limited benefits (including Pregnancy Medicaid, Medically Needy Medicaid, and CHIP Unborn Child) generally don’t qualify as minimum essential coverage.
- Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage
- Most types of TRICARE (military) coverage
- Comprehensive health care programs offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs
- Health coverage provided to Peace Corps volunteers
- Refugee Medical Assistance
- Coverage through a Basic Health Program (BHP) standard health plan
Other coverage includes:
- Coverage under a group health plan provided through insurance regulated by a foreign government if a covered individual is physically absent from the United States for at least one day during the month, or a covered individual is physically present in the United States for a full month and coverage provides health benefits within the United States while the individual is on expatriate status
- Certain coverage provided to business owners who aren’t employees
- Coverage recognized by Department of Health and Human Services as minimum essential coverage
What doesn’t count as MEC health insurance?
MEC health insurance doesn’t include coverage that isn’t considered comprehensive or consists solely of “excepted benefits” such as short term medical insurance, critical illness or hospital indemnity insurance.
Other types of coverage that do not qualify include:
- Stand-alone vision and dental plans
- Workers’ compensation
- Coverage only for a specific disease or condition (like “cancer” insurance)
- Products that provide discounted medical services
How to Get an Individual MEC Health Insurance Plan
If you do not have minimum essential coverage and wish to get it through the public health insurance marketplace, you must do so either during the annual open enrollment period (Nov – Dec) or during a special enrollment period if you qualify.
Do You Qualify for an Affordable Care Act Subsidy?
Use the ACA Subsidy Calculator to find out if you can get financial help if you enroll in ACA-qualifying major medical insurance. Learn more about subsidies.
If you are unsure whether or not your policy qualifies as minimum essential coverage, contact your insurance company or your insurance agent.
Do you need insurance now? Find out if you can enroll in ACA-qualifying major medical insurance now and, if not, what kind of insurance you can get until you’re able to obtain MEC coverage.
You can also work with an insurance professional that can help you understand your options and answer your questions. Call (888) 855-6837 to speak with a licensed agent.
Supplementing Your MEC Health Plan
If you have an ACA-qualifying major medical plan, whether through an employer or the private marketplace, you may also have a high deductible. There are supplemental insurance products available that can help with deductibles, higher cost out-of-network medical care and even other routine non-medical expenses like transportation, childcare, rent and groceries.
Hospital indemnity insurance can supplement your major medical plan by providing additional fixed indemnity benefits that pay out on a per period or per incident basis. Hospital insurance does not coordinate benefits with other insurance plans and does not count as qualifying minimum essential coverage. Learn more about hospital indemnity insurance.
Gap health insurance pays a lump sum benefit when a covered accident or illness occurs. This benefit can then be used towards your major medical deductible payment or for other expenses like groceries, transportation and housing. Learn more about gap health insurance.
Dental insurance provides benefits that help pay for a range of dental services that your major medical plan does not cover, from preventive to major care. Learn more about dental insurance.
Telemedicine includes access to virtual health consultations with licensed physicians 24/7/365. Telemedicine is not insurance. Learn more about telemedicine.
If you aren’t able to enroll in an ACA-qualifying MEC plan right now, consider obtaining temporary health insurance to help with the high out-of-pocket costs of being hospitalized or visiting the emergency room.
Short Term Health Insurance
These plans typically have lower premiums than major medical because they provide less coverage.
However, they are typically highly customizable so you can choose the benefits you need, and you can apply anytime as these plans are not subject to the annual open enrollment period.
The best way to compare costs and plans available to you is to get a quote (it just takes a minute).
Summary + Next Steps
We covered a lot of material in this blog post. Here are some of the key points to remember:
Minimum essential coverage refers to any insurance plan that fulfills the individual mandate that everyone obtain health insurance coverage (the federal penalty for which is now repealed).
In the individual health insurance market (i.e., non-group and non-government), any policy being marketed as “major medical insurance” is considered minimum essential coverage and a qualified health plan.
Even though you won’t experience a federal tax penalty for not having MEC, having ACA-qualifying coverage is the best way to ensure you have access to the most comprehensive health benefits.
You have to qualify for a special enrollment period to access individual major medical coverage when it’s not the annual open enrollment period. If you don’t qualify, you can still obtain a non-ACA short term health policy until next year’s open enrollment or you are able to get coverage through an employer’s group plan.

In this project, we are using the low-cost Dragino LSN50v2-D23 module. We chose this sensor for the Recreational Surfaces project as it comes ready with self-contained LoRaWAN electronics, a long-life battery, an antenna and three waterproof temperature probes measuring -55°C ~ 125°C. The probes are colour-coded red, black and white to allow matching the reading with the probe.
This allows us to measure surface temperature and what happens above and below the Recreational Surface. Indicating how quickly the surface is heated/cooled, what heat is being conducted into the ground and how much heat is reflected into the air. Our LoRaWAN IoT System enables this information to be monitored live over the internet taking measurements every 5 minutes. For a deeper dive into the technical details, visit Paul’s blog.
Our first installation was at the newly constructed Soccer Field at Regency Park. The sensors’ electronics were enclosed inside a box bolted to the fence post to reduce public tempering. This also provided us with something to affix a small Stevenson screen for our air sensor. Further, the enclosure offered something to firmly attach a conduit from the box to the surface and ground sensors to protect sensor cables from weather damage or probe tampering.
The Red temperature sensor was slid ~200mm horizontally immediately under the Artificial Turf’s backing layer to measure surface temperature. The Black sensor was inserted ~200mm vertically into the Compacted Subgrade to measure ground temperature. The White sensor was enclosed in a small Stevenson screen ~1 metre above the Artificial Turf surface. This will be repeated at all site locations to ensure consistent comparisons.

Chevron to Add Apple Pay at Gas Pumps (Jan. 5, 2015)
Drivers soon will be able to pay with Apple Pay when filling up at Chevron stations, now that the fuel chain has announced plans to integrate the contactless payment system into its pumps. The company already accepts Apple Pay at many of its Extra Mile and Texaco convenience stores and plans to roll out acceptance to more than 3,000 stores. Chevron announced in a tweet last week it would expand Apple Pay to its gas pumps early this year but followed up saying the timeline for integration is not set.
When Chevron announced last fall that it would support Apple Pay for in-store payments, the company cited the platform’s convenience and security, including fingerprint ID verification and tokenized payments. Meanwhile, customers paying with Apple Pay aren’t required to enter ZIP codes or PINs into a gas pump’s keypad, as they often are when using a plastic payment card. Chevron currently is Apple’s only energy provider partner for Apple Pay, but the fuel industry is eyeing mobile payments. Earlier this year, Gilbarco Veeder-Root, the world’s largest maker of gas pumps and POS systems, announced a deal with Verifone to collaborate on next-generation fuel dispenser models, which will be fully equipped to accept EMV card and mobile-based payments.
But while Apple Pay offers a new option for consumers, it does rely on the existing card payment system, possibly limiting the value proposition of equipping terminals, notes Jeff Lenard, vice president, strategic industry initiatives, National Association of Convenience Stores. “Credit card fees remain the largest expense for retailers selling gas. Fees averaged 5.5 cents per gallon across all transactions at the pump in 2013, the latest year that we have information,” Lenard tells Paybefore. “Every retailer will need to make a decision about whether they want to add Apple Pay as a payment option based on cost to install and consumer demand.”

One of many concerns in modern Islamic idea which has attracted significant realization among Muslim students and in the Muslim group is the legitimate and applicable perspective of Muslims to relationships with non-Muslims. a massive resource of misunderstanding and controversy as regards to this courting comes from the allegation that Muslims needs to reserve their love and loyalty for fellow Muslims, and reject and claim battle at the remainder of humanity — so much acutely noticeable during the Islamic inspiration of Al-Wala' wal Bara' (WB) translated as “Loyalty and Disavowal”, which seems to be critical within the ideology of recent Salafism.

Discussing the passage from Acts 19, he concludes—like Amirav— that Acts 19 presents an example of Jewish exorcists, and—also like Amirav—mentions various patristic exegetes who commented on this text: Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and Origen. ’ Next, he defines exorcism in terms of ‘battle’, referring to both the gospels and the Book of Acts. In this sense, he joins both Van Oyen and Amirav in their choice of textual material. Bastiaensen also mentions other ideas that we have come across before: Van Oyen’s definition of exorcism as expulsion and Amirav’s emphasis on the correct use of formulas, expressed by the verb adiuro.
The core of such enlightened knowledge for Justin is monotheistic: ‘the one and only true God . . ’ When we assess Korteweg’s argument, we see strong links with the articles considered so far. The article by Algra contributes to an appreciation of the Stoic influences in Justin, while the contribution by Theißen points to the importance of ‘salvation history’ and a monotheistic conception of the deity when approaching the devil and his demons from a biblical viewpoint. Van Oyen fleshes out the importance of exorcism, with Amirav and Bastiaensen following this demons and the devil in ancient and medieval christianity 25 lead; the latter two mention Justin explicitly.
According to Van Oyen, the demons confirm, paradoxically, the identity of Jesus. Simultaneously, however, their confession is unreliable and limited, because they refuse to acknowledge that Jesus’ journey is not marked by triumph, but by humility and suffering. Finally, as a mirror image of the demons representing their Master, Satan, the figure of Jesus always actively implies the presence of God: ‘God is the main actor in the story’. But the metaphysical battle between God and Satan, visualized as a ‘supernatural combat myth’, is never too far removed from the lives of ordinary readers.

October 2019 marked the beginning of the largest grassroots protests in Iraq’s modern history.
The so-called October Revolution was driven by young people who came of age in the post-Saddam Hussein era, but whose dreams for a better future did not materialise because of a ruling class they saw as corrupt and beholden to foreign interests.
In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera: In the Field, correspondent Simona Foltyn follows the journey of Mustafa Makki Kareem, a young Iraqi known as “Joker”, leader of a group of protesters risking it all in pursuit of systemic change in the country.

B.Gunmen killed the mayor and 17 other people in a small town in southern Mexico. The attack took place in San Miguel Totolapan, as the Attorney General of the State of Guerrero, Sandra Valdovinos, confirmed to the television channel Milenio in the evening. Local crime syndicate Los Tequileros was likely behind the attack, as reported by several newspapers. The background to the crime initially remained unclear.
In a video released on social media, the alleged members of the group claimed to have returned to the city of 24,000 people to conduct their criminal business. After the crime, the attackers blocked the access routes to the town hall with buses and trucks for hours to prevent the passage of the security forces. The facade of the town hall had several bullet holes.
Among the victims were the mayor’s father, two bodyguards and the director of the city police. “The ferocious attacks on the mayor and city council officials will not go unpunished,” Governor Guerrero Evelyn Salgado tweeted.
Mexico is experiencing a spiral of violence. Drug cartels and other criminal groups are numerous, often linked to corrupt politicians and security forces, and vying for control of the territories. Last year, an average of 94 murders per day were recorded in the North American country with about 126 million inhabitants.

“Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings.” The seventh step requires very little on our part. We’ve already acknowledged the fact that we are unable to manage our lives ourselves, and have decided to turn our will and our life over to the care of our higher power. The seventh step is simply a furtherance of this action. We are unable to rid ourselves of these character defects without assistance from our higher power, so we must have the humility to admit these faults to them and ask for their help to remove them from our lives.
By now you’ve hopefully come to realize the futility of complete self-reliance in the context of your recovery. Alcoholics and addicts are remarkably resourceful and highly competent individuals when it comes to many things in life, but we are equally incompetent and helpless when it comes to getting ourselves sober. This is why a relationship with a higher power is so important, and the seventh step highlights the significant role your higher power plays in your life and recovery. Without your higher power’s help, there is little hope for you to have these character defects removed from your daily life.
To successfully work a thorough seventh step you should pray to your higher power every morning asking for help with your shortcomings, and pray to them every evening thanking them for helping remove these barriers to your recovery. Incorporate these prayers into your daily communication with your higher power, and as they become instinctive you will find your character defects appear less and less in your life. The seventh step need not be overly complicated, you are simply leaning on your higher power for help and guidance in your quest for self-improvement and recovery.
The seventh step is one which we practice daily for the rest of our lives in recovery. Character defects are a natural part of the human condition, and they can develop well into our sobriety depending on circumstances we encounter. No one is perfect, and you are not expected to be completely devoid of flaws after completing the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. The seventh step offers us a way to plug in to the infinite power of a God of our understanding, letting them work in our lives and eliminate our character defects as we continue in our journey of recovery. So long as you humble yourself before your higher power and own up to your shortcomings, asking for their help to remove them from your life, you will be able to work a thorough seventh step each and every day!

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island — English Canadian artist Erica Rutherford’s PEI family is excited to see her work appear in a giant mural in downtown Charlottetown.
The city council recently approved a major change to allow 212 square feet of murals on the south-facing facade of the Old Triangle Restaurant on Great George Street.
Born in Eric Rutherford in 1923, Rutherford underwent sex reassignment surgery in 1976. The mural tells a story about the artist’s transsexuals. She died in 2008.
“I think Erica would have been happy,” Erica’s partner and longtime friend Gale Rutherford told the SaltWire network on December 20th. The usual kind of mural you stand up “
Scottish-born artists moved to PEI in 1985. She was said to be a pioneer in the transgender movement.
In the mid-1970s, while painting a piece called “We Can’t All Be Perfect,” Erica Rutherford would have experienced a gender identity disorder during the transition and was thinking of a finished woman.
The installation on the Old Triangle depicts two women in black boots and one woman in red boots.
Gail Rutherford said that when creating the work, Erica was interested in the images she would have presented during the transsexual.
Gail Rutherford states that the title “Some Like It Hot” comes from the lines of the 1950s movie “Some Like It Hot.”
“At the end (of the movie), one of the men pretends to be a female on a boat with a millionaire who proposes to him. He said,” But you don’t understand. Hmm. I’m a man. ” And the millionaire says, “Oh, well, we can’t all be perfect.” It always made Erica crazy. “
Before Erica transformed, she and Gale had a daughter, Susana.
“My mother and I are very pleased that Erica’s work and her inclusion message have been recognized by the City of Charlottetown,” Susana Rutherford told the Saltwire Network.
Anastasia Preston, Transgender Community Outreach Coordinator for the Pears Alliance, has called Erica Theford a pioneer in the LGBTQ + community.
“She was one of the first very prominent people in the LGBTQ + community,” Preston said, adding that the mural is a satirical spin on this subject. “It also says that not everyone is born perfectly, but we all have a perfect body.”
Gail Rutherford said he hopes the murals will create a healthy conversation.
“I think it’s good to publish it and discuss it, but (mural) is probably a bit of a puzzle for people. But it’s a hilarious message. There’s nothing scary.”
A plaque is placed near the artwork to provide knowledge and context about the work.
The display is funded through the Discover Charlottetown Ignition Fund.

The wind came up both afternoons - it ruffled the sale rack a bit and cooled down the bunnies who were relegated to a hutch on the deck during the event. Because of their strategic location, the buns got to see a lot more action than did the cats and dogs; they were keeping each other company in another part of the house. This allowed for the French doors to be wide open and welcoming. It was a beautiful May weekend and you could smell the redwoods in the breeze! The very tops of their bows could be heard whisper-shimmying while all remained still down below. Pray tell, what did the buns get to see that the cats and dogs missed out on?
The Honorable Dalmatian opened for a home show Saturday and Sunday – that’s what! It was a time for friends and friends of friends to see the culmination of what Mari Rodriguez has been up to all these months.
There were oodles of cute and stylish women’s clothing and accessories, most of it
recycled, some vintage and displayed in off-the-hook ways.
The fun and playful Dog is Good line, which happens to be new clothing the store carries, captured the eye of most everyone and often elicited a giggle.
There was jewelry by a couple of fantastic designers. The Stacey Lamothe Art was a smash, garnering the most sales in its respective category. In fact, the first purchases on both Saturday and Sunday were from her “Barnyard” metal-art collection, which features one of Mari’s very favorites – a horse necklace that reads “Hay!”
The art was limited to one of the most beautiful pieces of stained glass ever, donated by Moonshadow Mosaics, and Mari showing off two pieces of Amberson Art including a precious painting of her dear deaf Dalmatian, Henry Keller.
The Honorable Dalmatian proudly carries the artwork of Tanya Amberson – In fact, Mari loves her painting style so much that she commissioned her to paint the main charactor in the store logo...you know, the one with black spots?
The best part of The Honorable Dalmatian is that 5% of every sale benefits animals. While the store is not a non-profit organization, the business has chosen to donate to local animal non-profits such as the Santa Cruz SPCA, Project Purr, The Rabbit Haven and Animal Shelter Relief (ASR). Let’s see if we can start a new trend – for the love of animals.
“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more” ~ Anthony Robbins
So the friends, and friends of friends, came and went this past weekend, and everyone that shopped seemed genuinely happy they had trekked up to the boondocks in order to attend the store’s premier. The buns got a few pets on their head and ears, the dogs got walked midway through both days, and The Honorable Dalmatian conducted its first weekend of business. There is no denying it – it was a success!
Please look for the store to open online this month and a Santa Cruz storefront to follow soon. See you soon, friend!

The 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony won’t take place this August, as initially planned. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ceremony will tentatively be pushed back to the spring of 2021, according to the chairman of the Hall’s board of governors, Jerry Colangelo (story via Jackie MacMullan of ESPN).
This year’s star-studded class of Hall of Fame inductees is headed by Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and the late Kobe Bryant. Former Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich, former college coach Eddie Sutton, longtime WNBA star Tamika Catchings, former FIBA and IOC executive Patrick Baumann, and veteran women’s basketball coaches Kim Mulkey and Barbara Stevens are also part of the 2020 class.
The induction ceremony for the nine new members of the Hall had been scheduled for the weekend of August 28-30, with proposed alternate dates of October 10-12. However, Colangelo tells MacMullan that those dates are “just not feasible” due to COVID-19’s impact on large gatherings.
“We’re definitely canceling,” Colangelo said to ESPN. “It’s going to have to be the first quarter of next year. We’ll meet in a couple of weeks and look at the options of how and when and where.”
Despite the delay, Colangelo made it clear that the Basketball Hall of Fame doesn’t intend to eventually merge the 2020 class with its 2021 class, which figures to be announced next spring — the plan is still to hold two separate ceremonies.
“We won’t be combining them,” Colangelo said. “The Class of 2020 is a very special class and deserves its own celebration.”

On 28 October, the US Navy commissioned a 238-foot research ship in memory of astronaut and oceanographer, Sally Kristen Ride, at Broadway Pier along San Diego’s Embarcadero.
R/V Sally Ride is a stateof- the-art, Neil Armstrong-class, auxiliary general oceanographic research or “AGOR” ship which are named for leaders in exploration and science. R/V Sally Ride is the first such academic research ship to be named in honour of a woman.
Sally Ride was born in Los Angeles and joined NASA in 1978 to become the first American woman in space in 1983. The third woman in space after USSR cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova (1963) and Svetlana Savitskaya (1982), Ride is still the youngest American astronaut to have traveled to space at age 32, flying twice in Challenger.
Although owned by the US Navy, R/V Sally Ride will be operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Her first scientific mission is scheduled for 4 November.


L.A. Thrashers Warbringer have thrown a brand-new track at fans, and it hits hard. The band’s debut on Napalm Records (but fifth album altogether), Woe To The Vanquished, is set to be released on March 31st, and the newly released audio offers a sneak peek for what to expect. The album was produced and mixed by Mike Plottnikoff (Fear Factory, In Flames), mastered by Howie Weinberg (Slayer, Pantera) with cover art by the esteemed Andreas Marschall (Sodom, Blind Guardian, Obituary). The new track is called “Shellfire” and is being released on the heels of the record’s first music video, “Silhouettes“. Here’s what frontman John Kevill has to say about the track:
“As we near the release of our fifth record “Woe to the Vanquished” we want to show you guys something that will blow some heads off. We wrote this song with the intention of it being the fastest Warbringer song to date, which it is. The music, composed by Carlos Cruz, is a ripping bombardment of riffs and rapid-fire fills with a crushing detonation of a middle section. The lyrics, inspired by the seemingly endless battles on the Western Front of World War One, are full of anger, bitterness, and sheer horror, as day after day after day, week after week, the guns never, ever stop. Play it loud and take cover!”
If you happened to be wondering what sort of things went into the making of Warbringer’s upcoming release, well, you can easily find out – the band has a making-of video for the record and you can see it right here. You can also head to the Napalm Records Webstore to pre-order Woe To The Vanquished and keep up on the latest with Warbringer, including upcoming tour dates, on their Official Website.

Legislators to conduct public hearings on FY2015 budget
Published: September 16,2013
Tags: appropriation, budget, Herb Frierson, Joint Legislative Budget Committee, lawmaker, legislative, legislator, Medicaid, Mississiippi Adequate Education Program, Mississippi Legislature, public hearing, state government
JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are holding public hearings this week to start setting priorities for the next state budget.
Fiscal year 2015 begins next July 1.
Agency directors will appear today through Thursday before the 14-member Joint Legislative Budget Committee. They’ll request money for schools, highways, prisons, Medicaid and other services.
The hearings are being held on the first floor of the Woolfolk state office building, near the Capitol.
House Appropriations Chairman Herb Frierson says he wants to increase spending for education, from kindergarten through universities. But he says the chances of fully funding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program are “slim to none.”
MAEP is a complex formula designed to give elementary and secondary schools enough money to meet midlevel academic standards.
