This crime thriller explores the tensions on the U.S. – Mexico border. When an American judge known for her anti-immigration views is found dead on the bridge that connects El Paso and Juarez, Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) from the El Paso Police Department must work with her Mexican counterpart from Chihuahua State Polic... |
Marco understands the slippery politics of Mexican law enforcement. While his police force slowly succumbs to the pressures and demands of the cartel, he’s one of the last good men in the department. He’s charming, but also cunning as he will do whatever it takes to get what he needs. |
This doesn’t sit well with Sonya, who has Asperger’s and strictly follows rules — as well as protocol. Her candid and off-putting personality fuels an unforgiving drive for truth. |
The case quickly pulls them both into a string of murders on the border, a scene already consumed by illegal immigration, drug trafficking, violence and prostitution. |
Marco’s loyalty is put to the ultimate test while Sonya attempts to tie up loose ends. Eleanor yearns for closure. Frye and Adriana land an insider source. |
First aired: October 1, 2014. |
What do you think? Do you like the The Bridge TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season? |
Too close to home, this series was right on the money. I live in El Paso no more than thousand feet from the border. Late night I would hear people coming across the Rio Grande River from Juarez. I love this show. I think it should come back so people are aware what is going on in the homeland. |
With more than one-third of the month gone, now would seem the time for April to start showing itself as a time of showers, as recognized in popular song and medieval literature. |
As of late Friday, with light rain falling in Washington, only 0.05 inches had been measured all day. That is not a lot. |
But based on National Weather Service readings, which are made at Reagan National Airport, it is Washington’s second most this month. |
But as of 9 p.m. the damp facts seem to be these: Friday with its sparse showers, was outdone in dampness only by April 5, no day of deluge, but one on which 0.09 inches fell. |
Over the entire month to date, less than a quarter-inch of rain has been measured here. |
Of course, as the cautionary saying goes, past results do not predict future performance. Deluges could start Saturday. |
But April probably must step up its rain game to reach the month’s 3.06-inch norm. |
Many would probably not mind if April closed the rainfall gap on a day other than Saturday. |
Saturday is the day of the annual Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, a rite of springtime in the capital that draws spectators and participants from all over the United States. |
Aware, perhaps of April’s reputation, the festival’s website advises, “the Parade is rain or shine”. |
Now that our prospect study is nearly over, and I have watched all the defensive backs before the draft, I want to go through a quick ranking of the 21 cornerbacks I’ve gone through. Not all of these are ones I’ve done scouting reports on for the site but obviously, have still watched. Remember, this is my list, and I ... |
I have attached my own personal grades to each pick. These may differ from the ones in scouting reports. Scouting report grades are largely ones where I believe where the player will go, more than where I think the player should go. This is the latter. |
Please also understand that I couldn’t watch every CB this year. Some guys I missed who I would’ve loved to get a good feel for. |
As always, feel free to react or post your lists in the comments section. |
1. Jalen Ramsey/Florida State: Not pulling any surprises here. Ramsey is not only the best cornerback but one of the top three talents in this draft. He’s big, long, with times as impressive as anyone, putting him in an elite athletic level. Though he won’t have the benefit of the boundary the way he did in college, wh... |
He’s physical, supporting the run and working off blocks. Strong in coverage with the ability to recover and get back in-phase. In short, there’s no one quite like him, and though you can float the idea of moving him to safety, I think he’ll be successful no matter what. Hard to see that kind of talent is tough to fail... |
2. William Jackson III/Houston: Went back and forth on this one but settled on Jackson. A little bigger, longer, with top level speed. Triangle numbers are off the charts. Though we didn’t see him active in run support very often, he plays with an edge and just needs his technique cleaned up. Don’t see it as a lack of ... |
3. Vernon Hargreaves III/Florida: I like my corners feisty and Hargreaves shows it on each snap. He’s on the shorter side with stubby arms but makes up for it with a mad 39 inch vertical, allowing him to compete with bigger receivers. Couples that with the even more important ability to time his jumps and competes at c... |
4. Mackensie Alexander/Clemson: Didn’t do the report on him but I like Alexander. Has an attitude Ike Taylor would adopt. That may be off-putting for some, and I’m obviously not in the room with him, but confidence is so important at the position. Like Kevin Colbert said, cornerbacks are going to get beat. It’s all abo... |
On the field, Alexander is another twitchy player with quick feet and really fluid hips. Willing tackler who just needs to bring his aiming point up a bit. Has trouble staying in-phase and will turn back for the ball, giving up space at the top of the route. |
5. Jonathan Jones/Auburn: I can’t talk him up like I have and then low ball him on the ranking, right? Sure, Jones is short and on the lighter side, but aside from the obvious physical limitations, there’s not much to dislike about him. Will he have trouble bringing down A.J. Green? Sure, but that isn’t unique to him. ... |
Jones makes up for his size with his vertical, timing and high-pointing the football as well as Hargreaves. One of the fastest corners in this draft, stays in-phase, and a better tackler than given credit for, especially knowing he played 2015 not at 100%. Loved his body of work at the Senior Bowl and one of the real w... |
6. Eli Apple/Ohio State: Most put him ahead of Jones but they have the same issues. Ability to tackle and Apple is taller, heavier, and longer. Shouldn’t have those problems. I like his ability to turn and stay in-phase in coverage but in Pittsburgh, his lean frame and below average tackling is off-putting. His product... |
7. Artie Burns/Miami (FL): I can see the allure to him. The speed. The ball skills. But he’s a pretty stiff player and I don’t see some of the physical traits translate on tape. Don’t get me wrong. I do like Burns. But I’m not showing up to his window with a boombox over my head. Realistically, he is one of the few cor... |
8. Tavon Young/Temple: Young is similar to Jones but a tick worse in coverage. Which is why I put him below Jones and Apple. He needs to play cleaner, too many penalties downfield, but his performance against Will Fuller was eye-opening. He’s twitchy with excellent short area quickness and I just enjoy seeing the emoti... |
9. Kendall Fuller/Virginia Tech: . He’s a strong tackler who even took down Cardale Jones without much issue. I like his technique and ability to play the pocket. Works hard to get back in-phase and is more developed than a lot of corners in this class. |
But many concerns about him. Just as stiff as Burns. Abused by Michael Thomas the last two years. And that was before the microfracture knee surgery. I know rechecks have gone well but that doesn’t mean he’ll be the same player. The best thing for him might to be move at safety because I don’t think he has enough size ... |
10. Kevin Peterson/Oklahoma State: Another guy I’m higher on than most. Barely gets talked about and he won’t go until the draft party is snoozing through Day 3, but his performance against Corey Coleman was impressive. Also shut down Kevin White in 2014. He’s a technician who makes up for his lack of speed. Supports t... |
11. Eric Murray/Minnesota: What I said on The Terrible Podcast a few weeks back still sticks with me. If there is a player I’m wrong on, or least confident about, it’s this guy. He timed as a better athlete than I expected, topped with a 39.5 inch vert. He’s the most physical corner in the draft which gets him into a l... |
12. Maurice Canady/Virginia: Has the size and triangle numbers. Great start. But he doesn’t play to his straight line speed and is a bit stiff himself. Struggled against Phillip Dorsett and Duke Johnson in 2014, and he’ll be facing that kind of competition on a weekly basis. But he transitions downhill with a powerful ... |
13. DeAndre Elliott/Colorado State: The scouting report will be out tomorrow. Promise. Have watched him and though I didn’t get the best view, I liked what I saw. Quick feet and loose hips whose upper and lower half work well together. Does just enough in run support to make me happy. Productivity and injury concerns a... |
14. Harlan Miller/SE Louisiana: Had a great Senior Bowl week. Was consistent and that was the biggest thing. Anyone can shine for a day, especially in a new environment where everyone is trying to handle the mountain of information being handed to them. Miller is a gambler with a big payoff, but long speed is ugly (4.6... |
15. Xavien Howard/Baylor: Big faller for me but I really didn’t see anything special about his game. Really struggles with the ball in the air, just gets so lost. Timed speed and vertical were both below average, 4.58 and 33 inches. Lot of wasted motion in his turn, doesn’t time his jumps very well, and penalized too o... |
16. Brandon Williams/Texas A&M: Late round flier for me but the physical tools are there. 4.37 speed doesn’t go on trees and his change of direction is excellent, no doubt influenced by his running back upbringing. For a guy who didn’t play defense until last season, he didn’t look lost. Physical guy who enjoys tacklin... |
17. Mike Hilton/Ole Miss: Short, light, but has a big heart. I’m writing the Pixar script immediately. Another quick-twitch guy who plays the three step game well. But limited to slot and is still going to get beat up. 40 time isn’t great. He’ll carve out a niche but not as a starter. |
18. Donte Deayon/Boise State: 155 pounds is…not good. But if you can put yourself past that, his tape is impressive. Three year starter for a quality team says a lot about his game. Can hang in man coverage with a springy vertical and ability to track the football. Made a ton of plays in coverage. Better open field tac... |
19. Cyrus Jones/Alabama: For all of those who think I give short corners special treatment, let me Mutombo swat that thought out of here. Jones is 5’9 but I don’t like his game. Short, not a physical tackler, and has a horrendous time finding the football vertically. Struggles to keep balance. Only an average 40 (4.49)... |
20. Morgan Burns/Kansas State: Was anxious to look at him but came away feeling pretty “meh.” Has speed to play in man coverage but needs to be in off-man. Doesn’t press well. Not an impact player, not twitchy, and ugly job supporting the run. Return numbers are sparkling but I don’t even think his returns were all tha... |
21. Bryson Abraham/La Tech: Has a 41 inch vertical and I see pockets of that on tape, but not much else to get me excited. Small, can’t tackle, and I just didn’t see him make enough plays. Had some hope for him but came away disappointed. |
2019 Offseason Questions: How Many Players Will Steelers Ultimately Draft? |
Hirakawa Zoo in southern Japan has confirmed it plans to send endangered white tigers to Teuk Chhou Zoo in Kampot province, despite deplorable conditions and evidence of psychological damage among the animals at the Cambodian zoo. |
A senior official from the Japanese zoo stated that the exchange, while not finalised, will likely be completed in the first half of 2016, with two endangered white tigers and two zebras going to Teuk Chhou. |
“If everything goes well, the swap will be made possibly after spring,” they said. In return, the zoo in Kagoshima prefecture will receive two Asian elephants currently housed at Teuk Chhou. |
The source confirmed a zoo representative and a Kagoshima city government official visited Cambodia and met Teuk Chhou owner Nhim Vanda to discuss the trade. |
Kagoshima city government directed all requests for comment to Hirakawa Zoo, which did not comment on the conditions witnessed at Teuk Chhou. |
Kaori Sakamoto, of Japanese NGO Voice for Zoo Animals, painted a bleak picture of the elephant enclosure at the Hirakawa Zoo, where Teuk Chhou’s elephants, Kiri and Seila, would likely be kept. |
“They will be forced to live in a physically and behaviourally impoverished exhibit in which they will suffer,” she said. |
Sakamoto also questioned the motives behind the exchange. |
“There is no legitimate conservation value to this proposed trade. For both zoos, it is entirely to obtain new animals for public display and amusement,” she said. |
During a visit to Teuk Chhou on Sunday, the Post witnessed underweight animals rushing to the bars of dilapidated and undersized cages in the hope of being fed. None of the caged animals were seen to have clean drinking water and many lacked adequate shelter from the rain. |
A worker at the zoo confirmed that the animals are fed once per day, but active supervision was only evident at the elephant enclosure, which is staffed and funded by elephant conservation NGO Ears Asia. |
In the absence of oversight, guests are able to stand as close to cages as they want and can be seen taunting animals, with one visitor witnessed throwing stones at a python over a prolonged period. |
Numerous visibly injured animals were seen, including a black-necked stork with a broken wing and an endangered lesser adjutant unable to properly stand on one of its feet. |
Abnormal behaviour among the animals was also evident, with a lone golden jackal continuously pacing up and down along the same 4-metre stretch of its tiny enclosure and most of the zoo’s ostriches having plucked their rears bald. |
According to Andrew Tyler, director of animal rights NGO Animal Aid, such behaviour is indicative of psychological damage induced by stress and boredom – often referred to as “zoochosis”. |
“All the signs are that the unfortunate jackal and the self-harming ostriches are ekeing out lives that are utterly miserable and wretched,” he said, after viewing video and photo evidence gathered by the Post. |
“The establishment responsible, in our view, should be closed down,” he said. |
But during an interview on Sunday, zoo owner Nhim Vanda dismissed the suggestion anything was wrong with the animals, claiming that the jackal simply “likes exercise”. |
“By nature [it] is the kind of animal that does not stay still, except when it sleeps. If it stays still, it is sick,” he said. |
Vanda claimed he would pay for the care of the new animals out of his own pocket, including $120 per day on meat for the white tigers. |
Yet, when asked why the animals already at the zoo lived in such small cages, he said he lacked the funds to make improvements. |
He also said that if Ears Asia – which has launched a campaign to prevent the trade of Kiri and Seila – withdrew from the zoo, he would not have the funds to pay for keepers for his planned replacement elephants. |
When confronted with the injuries, Vanda claimed Wildlife Alliance director Nick Marx visited the zoo on a regular basis to provide veterinary care. |
But Marx said yesterday he has not been to the zoo since 2011. |
“I did previously offer to help out on an individual basis, but that came to an end years ago,” he said. |
But despite the protests, Vanda insisted the exchange will go ahead and has Prime Minister Hun Sen’s blessing, while also pointing to an apparent underlying motive for the trade. |
Okay, so let’s say a candidate utters a demonstrable falsehood and gets called out by independent fact checkers. And let’s say this candidate continues to utter the falsehood anyway. And let’s say news orgs continue giving it airtime. At risk of sounding overly earnest, shouldn’t these news orgs tell readers and viewer... |
This isn’t a rhetorical question. It’s a real query about the role of the press. If news orgs don’t do this, aren’t they helping that candidate mislead people? Does that matter? |
The second statement is a direct falsehood, one that’s founded on a highly dishonest reading of remarks Obama made in April of 2009. In those remarks, Obama did not make the relevant claim about American exceptionalism “derisively” at all. What’s more, Obama went on to proclaim his belief in American exceptionalism and... |
The problem is that in the first batch of stories, multiple news orgs amplified these claims while presenting them as a matter of dispute rather than a matter of fact, or while failing to provide any info or context that would enable readers to evaluate the claims. And there will surely be more. |
I get that it’s not easy for us to stay on top of all the falsehoods. But Romney repeats these particular ones constantly — they’re central to his campaign strategy and message. And readers of these accounts could easily come away believing that Obama has apologized for America and doesn’t think it’s an exceptional nat... |
UPDATE: As Steve Benen notes, these falsehoods are also important because they’re about a much broader effort by Romney to sow insidious doubts about Obama’s true intentions towards America. |
Customers' actual experiences with products and their perceptions of a product's quality are greatly influenced by the quality of support given to customers. In this industry, integrators generally try to provide tier-1 support, but in reality, manufacturers are key to providing support to all parts of the sales channe... |
Security entrances can last over a decade and they directly impact traffic flows, so a “long game” approach is key. The truth is that success begins in the project planning and selection phase, when it is critical to clarify the objectives, the environment, and the constraints to make the right product choices and plan... |
It's all about one thing: great customer service; and it starts from the moment an integrator makes contact with an end user. Manufacturers have a certain obligation to ensure that their integrators are fully equipped with the proper tools and knowledge to craft a solution that not only meets but exceeds the end user’s... |
A key step to improving after-sales service is for manufacturers to offer high quality training and certification classes for integrators. If integrators are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively manage and maintain an install, it is more likely they’ll be able to anticipate and respond immedi... |

Three-quarters of the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting secondary is now on the injured reserve list following the decision by the team on Saturday to replace cornerback Jalen Mills with defensive tackle Bruce Hector. |
Mills had been sidelined since being unable to finish their win over Jacksonville in London on Oct. 28 because of a foot injury. He joins safety Rodney McLeod and cornerback Ronald Darby on IR, which has been a popular landing spot for many valuable Eagles this fall. |
What’s more, the move to replace him with Hector suggests that defensive tackle Tim Jernigan also may not be able to answer the bell on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. |
Jernigan has missed all but one game with a back injury that had him on the Reserve Non-Football Injury list until late November. He played 20 snaps against the New York Giants on Nov. 25 but then was unable to play against Washington last Monday night because of back spasms and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s g... |
Mills had already been ruled out. |
Among the other Eagles on IR are WRs Mack Hollins and Mike Wallace, RB Jay Ajayi and DE Derek Barnett. |
In addition, RB Darren Sproles, LB Jordan Hicks and CB Sidney Jones have missed long stretches with injuries. The Eagles also started the season without QB Carson Wentz, who missed the first two games, and WR Alshon Jeffrey, who missed the first three. |
