General Election 2015 Anniversary
One year ago tonight I was settling down to watch the 2015 General Election results come in. I remember delight when the BBC exit poll was revealed and having to stay up all night as the results just got better and better.
You can watch it all yourself and relive that amazing night here:
Conservatives Gain Lincs Police and Crime Commissioner
Over the last few months I have been pounding the streets delivering leaflets for Marc Jones the Conservative candidate for Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner. Marc is an experienced County Councillor who brings many skills to the PCC post, not least a deep understanding of how to get the best value for money from limited budgets. I have delivered many thousands of leaflets for Marc in Sleaford and elsewhere in the Sleaford & North Hykeham constituency. The other candidates were Victoria Ayling for UKIP, Lucinda Preston for Labour and, the latecomer, Daniel Simpson for the Lincs Ind Party. I attended one of Victoria's public meetings in Sleaford and was the only member of the public who turned up!
Marc was the first candidate to be selected and he has fought a long and well organised campaign. We had leaflets out across large parts of Lincolnshire well before the postal votes were issued. By contrast, I got a single leaflet from Daniel Simpson in the week before the election and a very poor quality one from Labour a couple of days ahead of polling day. I received nothing from UKIP at all.
In 2011 Alan Hardwick was elected as Lincs PCC as an Independent. After one term he decided that he didn't wish to continue and stood down from the post. We had high hopes of winning Lincolnshire this time but knew that nothing could be taken for granted and it is hard to know how second preference votes will split. In the end Marc won comfortably.
The results were:
First ballot:
Marc Jones (Conservative) – 39,411
Victoria Ayling (UKIP) – 28,583
Lucinda Preston (Labour) – 25,475
Daniel Simpson (Lincs Ind) – 18,497
After the bottom two candidates were eliminated and second preferences redistributed the final vote was:
Marc Jones (Conservative) – 48,033 ELECTED
Victoria Ayling (UKIP) – 37,420
I am delighted for Marc and for the people of Lincolnshire who will now get a competent and dynamic PCC to oversee the Lincolnshire Police. His main focus will be finance and strategy, while the Chief Constable retains operational control of policing in the administrative county.
The 2020 Westminster Constituency Boundary Changes are Underway
I have just read a very interesting article on the process which will lead to a new set of constituencies for the 2020 General Election. The LSE article highlights the fact that the four Boundary Commissions for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are drawing up new boundaries based on a map of 600 UK constituencies rather than the current 650. This was a Conservative manifesto commitment which will mean equal sized constituencies across the UK with exception of a handful of island constituencies. This is undoubtedly fairer and more democratic than the current arrangement where Wales (and by extension Labour) is grossly over-represented in Westminster, and where urban seats often have smaller electorates than many rural seats. The net changes are likely to benefit the Conservatives by anything from 20-25 seats overall, leading some on the left to complain of "gerrymandering" and "rigging" the system. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the changes will be implemented by the impartial boundary commissions and will right many historic wrongs in the current electoral map.
A separate issue (but linked by some) is the change to individual electoral registration by voters. Under the new system each voter has to register themselves if they wish to vote. No longer will the head of the household, or University, be able to register all occupants of a property. This has led to a drop of around 600,000 in the number on the electoral register, with falls particularly marked in university towns. This should not be a surprise as most students were previously registered in two addresses, that of their parents, or previous home address, and the address where they lived during their studies. There was nothing illegal or wrong about this as long as they only voted once in any given election. The fact is that the vast majority probably didn't vote at all, and the politically active could vote twice and were very unlikely to be detected. Much of the fall in numbers is probably down to students only being registered at a single address. However, a second and more sinister factor was the manipulation of the register by some in certain urban areas. Local authorities do their best to monitor and check unusually large numbers registered at any given address but it did not stop some head of households registering unfeasibly large numbers to vote in their house. I well remember identifying some houses in predominantly Asian parts of Reading with 8 or 12 people on the register for a 3 bedroom house. Also finding streets where the same people were registered in more than one house which happened to be owned by the same person. Duplication is relatively easy to clear up when you spot it, but over-registration is much harder. It was often claimed in Reading that people were brought in from Slough by train and taxi to vote only to then be transported back from whence they came. It won't surprise readers to know that this was in Labour voting areas. To help prevent this I would like to see a further step taken of having to produce identification to vote in order to ensure that only the correct registered person actually votes.
The changes coming for 2020 should be welcomed by all who respect and value democracy in the UK. The fact that constituencies will be much more equal in size and that there will be fewer MPs on the public payroll can only be a good thing. The average constituency size of 74,000 is a reasonable number for any MP to represent and is around the number that most English MPs have represented by and large for many years. The House of Commons will be a more comfortable place with 50 fewer bottoms to squeeze onto the green benches and the number of officers, staffers, stationery and other support needed will be consequently reduced.
Lincolnshire Police & Crime Commissioner Candidate Debate
For anyone interested in the Police & Crime Commissioner election in Lincolnshire on 5 May, there is an interesting debate with three of the four candidates below. It is worth noting that the guy described as an "Independent" is in fact from the Lincs Ind Party and is not a true independent candidate.
Four Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner Candidates Announced
Today was the close of nominations for candidates for the Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner. The incumbent is Independent Alan Hardwick but after 4 years in post he has decided to call it a day. Whatever the result therefore a new Commissioner will be elected.
Four candidates will fight it out for the £60,000 a year post overseeing the Chief Constable for Lincolnshire Police. They are:
Marc Jones (Conservative) – Marc is a County Councillor representing a Lincoln city division and with responsibility on the Council for financial matters.
Victoria Ayling (UKIP) – Victoria is a former Conservative Parliamentary candidate who stood unsuccessfully for UKIP in the 2015 General Election. She is also a Lincolnshire County Councillor.
Lucinda Preston (Labour) – Lucinda is an Assistant Head Teacher in Sleaford.
Daniel Simpson – (Lincs Ind Party) – Daniel is an East Lindsey District Councillor from Louth and stood unsuccessfully for the LI Party for Louth constituency in the 2015 General Election. He was a surprise late entry to the contest today.
The election will be held on 5 May 2016 and polls will be open from 7am to 10pm.
UK Defence Spending Increases
In last summer's Budget the government committed to increase defence spending by 0.5% above inflation every year until 2021 and continue to meet NATO's target to spend 2% of GDP on defence for the rest of the decade.
1 April 2016 marks the first day that these commitments come into effect with the core defence budget increasing by £800m from the 2015/16 baseline of £34.3bn to £35.1bn. In addition, the MOD will receive £2.1bn from the Joint Security Fund by the end of this Parliament. This means the Defence budget will increase by nearly £5bn to £39.7bn in 2020/21.
Welcoming the new budget, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said:
"Nothing is more important than defending our country and protecting our people. With increasing threats to our security, we have chosen to increase defence spending and give our Armed Forces what they need to keep Britain safe."
The UK has the 2nd largest budget in NATO, the largest in the EU, and the fifth largest in the world. It is one of only five countries that meets the NATO guideline to spend 2% of GDP on Defence.
Over the next five years the MOD budget will increase as set out in the table:
|Ministry of Defence
|£ billion
|Resource DEL (1)
|Capital DEL
|Total DEL
(1) In this table, Resource DEL excludes depreciation
The increased budget will allow the MOD to invest in stronger defence with more ships, more planes, more troops at readiness, better equipment for Special Forces, and more for cyber.
The government will fully protect the size of the Armed Forces, not reduce the Army to below 82, 000, and increase the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force by 700 personnel. By 2025 we will have a highly capable expeditionary force of around 50,000 (up from around 30,000 planned in Future Force 2020).
Over the next decade MOD will spend over £178 billion on equipment and equipment support, £12 billion more than in plans prior to the 2015 SDSR. Our investments include:
- Maintain the plan to buy 138 F35s over the life of the programme. *An extra £2bn on our Special Forces' equipment.
- 9 Boeing P8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
- Advanced High Altitude surveillance aircraft.
- More than 20 Protector armed remotely piloted aircraft
- Type 26 Global Combat Ships.
- We will also launch a concept study and then design and build a new class of lighter, flexible general purpose frigates
- 2 new Offshore Patrol Vessels.
- 3 new logistic ships.
The Armed Forces will also become more, efficient and effective which means we will:
- Establish 2 additional Typhoon squadrons and an additional F35 squadron.
- Have a full Army division (made up of three brigades) optimised for high-intensity combat operations
- Create 2 new Strike Brigades *Double (from 1 to 2) the number of Brigades ready to deploy on operations.
- Reducing the number of civilians in the MOD by almost 30% over the next five years.
From 2016/17 all savings from efficiencies and reprioritisation will be reinvested in the defence budget, enabling £9.2bn to be invested in new capability over the Spending Review period.
New Zealand Votes to Keep Its Traditional Flag
After much discussion and consideration of a huge range of alternatives the people of New Zealand have spoken. They have decided to keep their traditional national flag which includes the British Union Jack and the four red stars of the southern cross. The process narrowed down the choice to the current flag and one alternative designed by Kyle Lockwood. Whilst I don't dislike Lockwood's design, I am delighted that the traditional flag will remain and that the Union Jack will continue to fly proudly over New Zealand.
The vote was conclusive but not overwhelming. Almost 57% voted to keep the existing flag, with just over 43% voting for the alternative design.
I hope that the people of Fiji will protest enough at their government's plan to change their flag and keep their beautiful light blue ensign with the crest of Fiji in the fly.
Eurovision 2016 – The UK Entry
Last night I watched the competition for the UK entry to this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Most of the entries were pretty lame but I thought that the last song by Joe and Jake stood out as being by far the best. Fortunately the British voting public agreed and Joe and Jake won!
You can hear their performance of "You're Not Alone" here:
Cllr Geoffrey Whittle DFM
It was my privilege to attend the funeral this afternoon of Cllr Geoffrey Whittle on behalf of the Commandant of RAF College Cranwell. Geoffrey was a real gentleman of the old school and was much loved by the local community in which he lived and which he served as a Conservative Councillor on North Kesteven District Council. I was privileged to meet Geoffrey on several occasions and can vouch for his modesty, kindness and friendly personality.
Geoffrey was also a WW2 Bomber Command veteran who carried out many missions over Germany. During one, aged just 20 years, he won the Distinguished Flying Medal. It was therefore fitting that he was elected to represent Ashby de la Launde and Cranwell ward on the District Council. A ward that includes RAF College Cranwell and RAF Digby.
All Saints Church in Ruskington was packed today and a good number of RAF personnel from a number of units and squadrons attended the funeral; 45 Sqn provided a flypast; and the Band of the RAF College provided a bugler to play the Last Post. A family member told me that he was thrilled by the RAF presence and it was only at the Last Post that the tears began to flow.
Geoffrey was sent off in style and I was pleased to have played a very small part in honouring his service to the RAF and the community. He will be very much missed by his family and friends!
Mareham Ward By Election – Conservative Gain!
The Sleaford Town Council by-election in Mareham Ward today was a Conservative gain. I stood for the local Conservatives against the only other candidate a Lincolnshire Independent. They are a local political party who are well dug in some parts of the county and have almost complete control of the Town Council. I undertook my usual campaign of door-knocking and talking to residents about their concerns. I found that I was well received and despite some awful weather I got round a good part of the ward. I certainly made sure that every letterbox I could get to had a leaflet from me.
The Lincs Independents also leafleted but their candidate didn't seem to even step into the ward. He certainly didn't turn up at the polling station on the day and not even for the count! However, his party colleagues were there in force, with their leader on the Town Council giving me a lecture on the importance of working with them and of unanimity! We will see how that goes!
In the end the result was close but I defeated the Lincs Independent candidate by 148 votes (51%) to 140 votes (49%). Turnout was just 15.4%. I am currently the only Conservative on the Town Council.

Time to Blog Again
After a long break from writing I feel that it is time to resume blogging again!
Readers will know that I like to write about a range of subjects covering political and economic matters, defence issues, world affairs, and other general thoughts and musings. Whilst I don't intend to write as often, I do intend to post occasional updates which I hope will be of interest.
New YouGov Poll – Conservatives Just 1% Behind Labour
There is a new YouGov poll in today's Sunday Times newspaper showing the Conservatives just 1% behind Labour:
Conservative 35% (no change)
Labour 36% (down 2%)
Lib Dem 8% (no change)
UKIP 13% (up 2%).
Labour is failing to regain the leads it enjoyed about a year ago when it was regularly 5-8% ahead of the Conservatives. UKIP's rating is up in this poll but it has generally been sliding since the Euro election results.
The poll above is compared with the YouGov poll published on 24 July.
New Populus Poll – Labour's Lead Cut to 2%
There is a new Populus online poll out today which shows Labour's lead over the Conservatives cut to just 2%:
Conservative 35% (up 3%)
Labour 37% (no change)
Lib Dem 9% (no change)
UKIP 9% (down 4%)
The UKIP rating has been sliding since the Euro elections and this poll suggests that some of the UKIP vote is returning to the Conservatives!
Populus interviewed a random sample of 2,070 adults online between 23rd-24th July 2014. Interviews were conducted across Great Britain and the results have been weighted to be representative of all British adults. Populus is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.
New ICM Poll – Conservatives Move 1% Ahead as UKIP Plunges
There is a new ICM poll in the Guardian tomorrow which the Conservatives taking a 1% lead over Labour following last month's 1% Labour lead:
Conservative 34% (up 3%)
Labour 33% (up 1%)
Lib Dem 12% (up 2%)
UKIP 9% (down 7%)
This is a huge drop in UKIP support taking them down into single figures. However, the net effect of the changes this month is a small Conservative lead which will cheer David Cameron as he embarks on his reshuffle.
The over-65s are much more likely to support the Conservatives than other age groups, with 52% backing the party compared with less than 30% across most of the rest of the age groups. There is also a strong regional variation in Conservative support with 21% in Scotland (up on previous elections), 18% in Wales and 21% in the north of England. In the crucial marginal-rich area of the Midlands the Conservatives are on a healthy 46%.
ICM Research interviewed a random sample of 1,000 adults aged 18+ by telephone on 11-13 July 2014. Interviews were conducted across the country and the results have been weighted to the profile of all adults.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is Named
The Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier has been officially named by Her Majesty the Queen at a ceremony in Scotland today.
Hundreds of workers who have helped to build the HMS Queen Elizabeth, along with the ship's company, joined the Prime Minister, Defence Secretary, military Chiefs and dignitaries to witness Her Majesty christen her namesake with a bottle of whisky. The ceremony, held at Rosyth dockyard near Edinburgh, marks the completion of the flagship which at 72,000 tonnes is the largest ship ever built for the Royal Navy:
- With a height of 56 meters she is taller than Niagara falls;
- At 280 meters long she has a flight deck the size of 60 tennis courts;
- Four jumbo jets could fit alongside each other on the 70 meter wide deck;
- Her range is 10,000 nautical miles and she carries enough fuel to transport a family car to the moon and back twelve times;
- She is fitted with a long range 3D radar that is capable of tracking more than 1,000 targets at once or can spot a tennis ball travelling at 2,000 miles per hour.
Operating with Lightning II fifth generation stealth Joint Strike Fighter jets, the QE Class will be versatile enough to be used in a full range of military tasks from warfighting to providing humanitarian aid and disaster relief. Today's naming ceremony comes just a week before Lightning II is due to take to the skies in the UK for the first time, marking another step towards the return of carrier strike operations.
The construction of HMS Queen Elizabeth has sustained around 8,000 jobs at more than 100 companies across the UK. Blocks of the ship were manufactured at six yards in Devon, Rosyth, Portsmouth and on the Clyde and Tyne before being assembled in Rosyth.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is the first warship to be christened by Her Majesty in 15 years. To honour the ship's birthplace in Scotland, a bottle of Islay whisky from the first distillery the Queen visited was smashed against the bow.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said, "HMS Queen Elizabeth is the largest ship that the Royal Navy has ever had and is a true demonstration of the UK at its best, with over 10,000 people across the country working together to deliver her. This occasion marks a major milestone in regenerating the UK's aircraft carrier capability, enhancing our ability to project power anywhere in the world."
Admiral Sir George Zambellas, First Sea Lord, said, "The naming of HMS Queen Elizabeth heralds a new dawn, not only for the Royal Navy but for the delivery of our Nation's security. Her journey ahead will be global, strategic and one of inter-Service and international partnership. Powerful, versatile and credible, this ship will be at the heart of the UK's defence capability for the next 50 years, but she already stands testament to the best of British shipbuilding, engineering and technology. We are especially proud to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to Rosyth, and are honoured that she has graciously accepted the role of sponsor for our Nation's future flagship."
Following today's naming ceremony the dock will be flooded to enable HMS Queen Elizabeth to float for the first time. Work to prepare the ship for her sea trials in 2017 and flight trials with Lightning II aircraft in 2018 will continue.
Work is already underway on the HMS Queen Elizabeth's sister ship HMS Prince of Wales which will start to be assembled in Rosyth dockyard later this year. The Defence review next year will decide whether Prince of Wales is to enter service or be mothballed or even sold. In my view the Government would be simply mad not to bring both carriers into service and provide the necessary funding to the Defence budget to make this affordable.
Now that the economy is growing robustly it is time to begin to increase the Defence budget back up to a level closer to 2.5% of GDP with an aim of 3% of GDP. That would allow the Navy a few more escorts which will be necessary to escort the carriers and fulfil all the other RN commitments around the world.

When you look back on your childhood, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly when something impressed you as wrong. You might have looked at a situation for years without realizing what you were seeing. Then one day you reach an age where you begin to have a better understanding of the world around you, and your whole perspective changes.
Most people who have followed my basketball career probably know I was born in Queens, N.Y. What they may not know is that I have deep roots in the Caribbean Islands. My father, Rawlston Charles, is from Trinidad and Tobago, and my mother, Angella Murry, was born and raised with four sisters and one brother in Kingston, Jamaica, the capital and the largest city in the country.
Her mother -- my grandmother Naomi Holgate -- was the principal of the Holgate Primary Basic School. She ran the school for more than 30 years, from September 1973 to July 2005. The Holgate Primary Basic School was an addition to the back of the family home. It had four classrooms and served children from pre-kindergarten to first grade.
From the time I was 3 years old, my mother and I would visit our family in Jamaica for holidays and summer vacation. On those visits, I would attend class with the students at my grandmother's school and play with the other children. Nothing about it seemed strange. But as I grew older, I began to notice something that really started to bother me. Some of the children did not have shoes on their feet. As a young child playing with them, I was barefoot too. But that was by choice. At the age of 10, it began to sink in that the children I was playing with didn't have a choice.
I was raised by my parents to be aware of the importance of caring for others, and to believe in the value of giving to those less fortunate. So on the day that I realized what I was seeing in Jamaica, I promised myself I would do something when I was in a position to help.
That day came this past January, when a shipment of athletic shoes I purchased from Nike for the girls' netball, boys' basketball, and girls' and boys' soccer teams was delivered to Saint Jago High School, which is located in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, Jamaica. It is the school where my three aunts and uncle all graduated. It was a special moment to know that I could provide for student-athletes the same way my family had provided for me. A short time after the shoes were delivered, I received a thank-you letter from the school. It made me feel good to know I had kept that promise I made to myself way back when I was 10 years old.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Serves 4
Loaded with the Mediterranean flavors of Greece and bursting with zesty lemon, this pasta is a snap to make. While the pasta cooks, simply combine the fresh ingredients in a large bowl, toast the nuts, and you're ready…just toss with the cooked pasta and broccoli.
ready to learn? just hit play.
Fill a large pot with water 2 inches from the top. Place on the stove over high heat and let come to a boil; add 2 teaspoons of the salt. Meanwhile, cut the broccoli (if using fresh) into florets (you should get about 5 cups).
When the water boils, cook the pasta 3 minutes less than the package directions call for, then add the broccoli (fresh or frozen) to the pot and cook 3 minutes more, until the broccoli is tender and the pasta is al dente.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the Feta, lemon zest, oregano, red pepper and black pepper (12 turns on pepper mill.)
Place the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
When the pasta and broccoli are done cooking, drain them, immediately add to the large bowl, and toss. Drizzle with oil, add the toasted almonds, and toss again. Salt to taste.

Save & Splurge: 5 Places to Put Your Money in a Kitchen Renovation
Save: Lighting Splurge: WindowsNo matter what, lighting in a kitchen is very important. I would love to have some spendy modern pendants over the island and the dining table (why oh why do my tastes run to the Champagne in this area??) but it's not in the budget. I chose instead to put money into high-quality awning windows with good hardware. There are full-length sidelights next to a sliding door, and more windows in the dining area. The cost of windows adds up, but this is the time to put them in. Other lighting is less important, and inexpensive pendants from IKEA can be easily replaced down the road.
Save: Faucet Splurge: SinkI predict this will be a controversial choice! The faucet is, after all, the most-frequently-used fixture in your kitchen. But as I have researched and shopped, I have found that some great faucets can be found from brands such as Grohe and Kohler, and they are often on sale at Amazon and Wayfair. You can get quite decent faucets for under $200. Sinks, on the other hand, often cost more, and they are much more difficult to replace down the road. I am looking for a good although modestly-priced faucet, but I am buying the sink that I want.
Save: Oven Splurge: StoveKitchen designer Susan Serra told me that the oven is the least-used appliance in most people's kitchens. Some folks don't even need an oven at all, especially with the advent of convection microwaves. Unless you're a frequent baker, prioritize your stove over your oven. And, in my opinion, the stove doesn't need to be a high-powered faux-restaurant monster to be a good buy. I'm going for a more modestly-priced Bertazzoni rangetop, which is a fraction of the price of a BlueStar or Viking (although still the most expensive appliance in the kitchen). My oven is a used model (still in warranty!) that I found on Craigslist.
Save: Cabinets Splurge: Cabinet doors and hardwareCabinets are an interesting thing. On the one hand, they seem important. You want them to last a long time and wear well. But they are fixed to the floor, and are protected by the doors and surrounding appliances. Cabinet bases actually come in for less wear and tear than your sofa or dresser. I simply could not justify spending $30,000 for handmade wood-frame cabinets, and more importantly, it didn't seem necessary. I'm going for good old IKEA frames, which are perfectly solid and very customizable, with all the drawers I desire. But I am also getting... ... Custom doors. This is where a smart small splurge can make your kitchen look truly custom. I am ordering doors from Semihandmade, a company in California that makes doors for IKEA cabinets. Henrybuilt, for a fraction of the price. That's the idea, at least.
Save: Tile and backsplash Splurge: CountertopIt's amazing how tile can add up, especially if you want to branch out beyond the ubiquitous subway tile. And if you want to take it all the way up to the ceiling — watch out! Tile creep, both in size of the installation and price of the tile itself, can add up fast. So think outside of the box for backsplashes. What about plexiglass or glass (maybe with bright fabric behind it)? Or a sheet of stainless steel? I'm mostly forgoing a backsplash along my back wall, with the exception of a marble 4-inch rise. I know that I can easily add a more extensive backsplash later, if it seems necessary. For now, I want to put my money into my countertops. Nothing is quite as visible in your kitchen as your countertops and they are the primary surface you work on and clean every day. I knew I wanted stone, instead of the more economical laminate or butcher block surfaces. So that's where I'm putting the cash. What Is Your Best Kitchen Renovation & Planning Advice? (Images: 1.

10 things to know about Serra's Adoree' Jackson
Serra's Adoree' Jackson is one of nation's top recruits. Here are 10 things you may not know about him.
Drawing comparisons to
USC wide receiver and former Serra Cavalier Marqise Lee, Serra star Adoree' Jackson is one of the most sought after football recruits in the country. He's a shutdown corner, plays running back, wide receiver, returns kicks, and punts for the Serra football team. He's also on the school's basketball team and in the spring could threaten 26 feet in the long jump.
He moved to
California from
Illinois after his freshman year and on Friday will be counted on heavily by the
Cavaliers (6-0, 1-0 Mission League) in their showdown with Chaminade (5-1, 1-0 Mission League) in the
Ford CIF Southern Section Game of the Week at 10 p.m. on FOX Sports West.
Here are 10 things you may not know about him:
Meet Sweet Pea
It's a nickname name that was given to him by his mom when he was younger and it just stuck.
Favorite sport
Jackson is a three-sport star at Serra. Basketball was actually his favorite sport growing up. He started playing basketball at the age of three.
"I didn't play football until the sixth grade," he said.
Late-night snack
Reese's peanut butter cups.
Favorite team
Jackson's favorite team these days is the Detroit Lions. It's his choice mostly because of their major offseason acquisition – Reggie Bush.
"I'm a big Reggie Bush fan," he said.
Favorite movie
A basketball fan and growing up in Illinois, it only seems natural Jackson's favorite movie would be "Space Jam." For Jackson, it gets no better than the last-second basket Jordan made when he stretched out his arm for the layup to beat the buzzer.
Biggest Fear
Jackson's biggest fear is disappointing all of those around who support him.
"If I let everybody down – the people that have faith in me if I let them down," he said.
Pregame ritual
Before every game, Jackson reads Psalms 23.
"That's the only pregame ritual I have," he said.
No. 21
When you see Jackson in his Serra uniform making plays on Friday nights, he's wearing No. 21 as a tribute to a fallen friend. A close friend from Illinois, Jeremiah Radford, passed away after losing his battle with cancer less than a month before his 16th birthday.
Jackson was a sophomore at the time.
"His favorite number was 21 and so I just wear that for him," Jackson said.
What's in your iPod?
It starts with
"Drake is my favorite rapper," he said. "I got to have that in there."
Other than that, Jackson's musical choices vary from things he likes to musical preferences of others around him. Other artists in his iPod include Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Problem, and YG.

It's that time of year — the end of a year. Traditionally we take stock, reflect and prepare for what will come in the new year.
Of course, there is much we can't prepare for.
We don't know what adventures or what difficulties and challenges the next twelve months hold. We hold that uncertainty at bay by making resolutions, and setting intentions for the coming months. Resolutions are our way of deciding who we will be next year, regardless of what circumstances come our way.
Only it usually isn't as preemptive as that. Our resolutions are paper-thin when the winds of change blow. They don't make us more sturdy or flexible when we need to be.
There are lots of psychological reasons for this, but I don't want to analyze what doesn't work. I want to move towards something that holds a promise of helping me steer into the winds of change with a positive energy.
I think I've found an idea, and it came from a blog I recently discovered. (One of the fun parts of working on a Web site is looking for other blogs and sites that can give us some new perspectives. More about helpful links coming in 09 … stay tuned.)
This blog is written by a singer/songwriter who has lots of creative ideas about living large. In a recent post, Christine Kane ( http://christinekane.com/blog ) invited her readers to do new year's differently.
She suggested that we each pick a word for the year. Find a word that inspires, challenges, comforts, reminds us of how we want to live, and who we want to be.
During the month of December she has invited readers to write a short piece about their experience living with a word during 2008. It was fun and energizing to read what happened with so many folk. They chose words like courage, gratitude, kindness, balance, insight, generosity, and so on.
I am going to offer you that possibility this season of new beginnings. Don't make another set of resolutions. Instead, pick a word, or let one pick you.
I borrowed Christine's list to get you started:( http://christinekane.com/blog/december-is-all-about-words-whats-yours-gonna-be )

DP World Authorized by Shareholders to Buy Back Shares
DP World Ltd., the world's third-biggest port operator, said shareholders authorized the company to buy back "a limited number of shares."
The shareholders also "authorized the company to reduce its share capital by canceling any or all of the ordinary shares purchased," the Dubai-based company said in a statement to Nasdaq Dubai today.
DP World's request for the "renewal of an existing authority allowing the company to allot, or issue, up to a limited number of shares -- 5 percent of the nominal value of the issued and unconditionally allotted share capital of the company -- free of pre-emption rights" was also approved by the shareholders, it said.
"We have no plans for a buy back, but this resolution has been included in the notice for the last four years and is there for international best practice reasons and to retain flexibility," the company said in a separate statement.
DP World said earlier today gross container volumes handled at its terminals rose 9.5 percent to 13.8 million twenty-foot equivalent units in the first quarter. Excluding the contribution from new capacity, like for like growth was 7.4 percent, it said.

Stormtroopers warned the force will not be with them if they travel without a valid ticket to Brisbane's Supanova Expo
- From: Quest Newspapers
- November 06, 2012
STORMTROOPERS who plan to use public transport as an alternative to the Delta-class DX-9 are warned to make sure they have a valid fare on the way to the Supanova Pop-Culture Expo at the RNA Showgrounds this weekend.
Humans are also warned not to be surprised if they see sci-fi fans dressed in their best on the way to the three-day event.
Video game enthusiast Matthew Zydeveld said he was looking forward to seeing elaborate costumes, sci-fi celebrities and gadgets on display at this years' expo.
"Supanova is a geek-haven of goodness, it has everything you could imagine from the world of pop culture.
"The costumes are amazing,'' he said.
TransLink's acting deputy director-general Matt Longland said time-travelers from all galaxies would were welcome on public transport but 'the force' alone would get them nowhere.
"Guards and ticket inspectors will be quoting Gandalf from Lord of the Rings in saying: 'you shall not pass' if they fail to produce a valid ticket," he said.

Context Available data suggest that prospective research participants may frequently
not understand information disclosed to them in the informed consent process.
Little is known about how understanding can be improved.
Objective To review research on interventions to improve research participants'
understanding of information disclosed in the informed consent process.
Data Sources and Study Selection A search of MEDLINE was performed using the terms informed consent and clinical research and informed
consent and (comprehension or understanding) from 1966 to March 2004
, which included randomized controlled trials, longitudinal trials, and controlled
trials with nonrandom allocation that compared the understanding of research
participants who had undergone only a standard informed consent process to
that of participants who had received an intervention to improve their understanding.
A comprehensive bibliography of empirical research on informed consent published
in January 1999 was also reviewed, as were personal files and all issues of
the journals IRB and Controlled
Clinical Trials.
Data Extraction Study design, quality criteria, population characteristics, interventions,
and outcomes for each trial were extracted. The statistical significance of
the interventions' effects on understanding were noted, as were mean
scores for understanding for each group of each trial. For those trials that
measured the secondary outcomes of satisfaction and willingness to enroll,
results were also summarized.
Data Synthesis Thirty studies described 42 trials that met inclusion criteria. Of 12
trials of multimedia interventions, 3 showed significant improvement in understanding.
Of 15 trials of enhanced consent forms, 6 showed significant improvement in
understanding (all P<.05), but 5 of 6 trials were
of limited quality, casting doubt on their practical relevance. Of 5 trials
of extended discussion, 3 showed significant improvement in understanding
(all P<.001) and 2 showed trends toward improvement
(P=.054 and P=.08). Of 5
trials of test/feedback, all showed significant improvement in understanding
(all P<.05) but were flawed in that they may have
mistaken rote memorization for improvement in understanding. Another 5 trials
were put into a miscellaneous category and had varying impact on understanding.
Some demographic factors, particularly lower education, were associated with
less understanding. Satisfaction and willingness to enroll were never significantly
diminished by an intervention .
Conclusions Efforts to improve understanding through the use of multimedia and enhanced
consent forms have had only limited success. Having a study team member or
a neutral educator spend more time talking one-on-one to study participants
appears to be the most effective available way of improving research participants'
understanding; however, further research is needed.

As the Major League Soccer season progresses into its second month, we are beginning to learn more about each of the 19 clubs in the league.
Because of that, breaking down each week's games and finding more in-depth takeaways from each contest is easier to do, now that each team has laid a foundation for its respective 2014 campaign.
In Week 6, we learned that if you look a bit deeper, there are some great things going on on the pitch.
A few of those observations made it into this week's lessons from the past weekend of MLS play.

text: Our Verdict A properly mediocre TV is a rare thing in the modern market. Here's one For Built-in iPlayer service, plus other online features Against Everything else Reviewed on 7th June 2010 To paraphrase that famous advertising campaign, this isn't just a television – it's a Marks and Spencer television. A clever one, too: the iViewer (made by Cello, and sold exclusively through M&S) is a web-friendly 32in design, so show it a decent broadband supply, via ethernet or an optional wi-fi dongle, and you'll soon be streaming video from the iPlayer, YouTube and selected online 'channels', including that of our sister magazine, Autocar. As of June, it'll add Sky Player support: in the meantime, DLNA compatibility means you can share content with a suitable PC on your network. So far, so flexible. But the iViewer's picture and sound quality swiftly undermine its appeal. Pictures suffer from a permanent drizzle of noise regardless of source. Smearing and stability issuesMotion has smearing and some stability issues, and even when watching the iPlayer on the highest-performance mode through a wired, high-speed broadband connection, images suffer from blocking and, on occasion, very poor lip-sync. More after the break Of course, online content can often look poor on a TV screen. The problem is that the iViewer's fundamentals – its screen, scaling and video processing – simply aren't good enough. If you've got a flat TV and simply want to upgrade it to online viewing, add a Sony BDP-S370 Blu-ray deck instead: it'll do a much better job.
