Pressures on president obama and also political pressures. First, to the practical pressures. What you mapped out. There is widespread fear right now about this disease. Day after day, more negative headlines. There didnt seem to be a coordinated response from the white house. I think on the one hand, president obama was feeling pressure to name someone to be a point person. There were real mrim political pressures as well. Ive been talking to democrats saying, they dont want to see another week like the one they just witnessed where you had Different Administration officials speaking out every day, sometimes giving conflicting messaging. So, theyre cheering this move by president obama to appoint a point person. One person telling me there was real concern the administrations response the criticism the administration was getting would factor into the midterm elections. So, i think thats why you saw president obama announcing last night and signaling last night that this big announceme
Amazingly, there is a similar vibe around Nikola Jokic as the Nuggets and the Heat prepare to kick off the NBA Finals on Thursday night at Denver’s Ball Arena.
The soul of Canucks minor hockey
.for more than 20 years, Rod Brathwaite has been running the show for Canucks minor hockey programs by Derek Jory @NoJoryous / Contract writer
If Rod Brathwaite had kept his eyes on the prize, he believes his chances of becoming an NHL goalie were good. His younger brother Fredrick defied the odds with his short stature and cat like reflexes to make it as a NHL puck stopper, retiring with 254 games played between four teams from 1993 to 2004.
What a family goaltending tandem they could have been.
Brathwaite doesn t look back with remorse, however. His inability to stay focused and on track with sports led to an unexpected career helping thousands of others stay focused and on track with sports - including his brother.
