     I've chose to listen to the NPR podcast by Fresh Air on Trump's trust on the civilian national security establishment.      The interview opened up with hostess Terry Gross stating the fact that Trump only has been in office for a month, having a good basis on the subject but brought in a guest who she thought was more knowledgable on the topic, Mark Mazzetti.      Gross stated Mazzetti's credentials in which he recently became the Washington investigations editor for The New York Times, after being a national security correspondent there for 10 years, and adding other honerable mentions.      Some of the questions Gross asked were around Trumps administration, his ties to Russia, the CIA, U.S. military, and overall questioning his role as our president.      As for the build up of questions Gross asked in order of importance.  Starting out investigation on leakers, cyberattacks, and p...

The womens swimming NCAA championships are underway for the Spartans starting this Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. Things may be looking good  for the  San Jose State University women's swimming team when accounting they had a good start the first day at the CSCAA National Invitational at the U.S. Naval Academy. With swimmer Brittany Heng placing top sixth overall at the event and being SJSU's top swimmers there is a good chance she will be placing high up at the champoinships. For the 100 Butterfly I can see Brenna Bushey taking a top spot considering her having acceptional time in the 100 butterflies of 53.10 seconds. Another contender is Colleen Humel, San Jose State's leadoff swimmer in the medley relay, in which she placed first in the 100 backstroke clocked in at a record of 52.53 seconds. Judging by those and past games while looking at the player states, it's strong to say Humen should be placing top 5 in backstrokes at the NCAA championships. As for ou...

Frantically searching through his pockets, Edwin Lopez' ticket was nowhere to boarding his long gone train heading to Busan, Korea. In the following seconds, Lopez had to act quick to decide on the way to get back to his international travel group. He then decided to jump on the first train that was departing to Busan--a 50/50 shot of meeting up with his classmates. This was one of many predicaments that Edwin has encountered while travelling internationally. "I gained an interest in travelling in 2013, whilst visiting my cousin in London, it opened up my wanderlust for traveling," Lopez said. Lopez holds traveling as well has photography close to him, with each complementing with each other as his hobbies. Tokyo, Japan was one of those places where he was fortunate enough to capture a variety of interesting shots to his photo collection. "One of my favorite films is Lost in Translation and me and a few friends managed to sing at the same ...

No. 1 No one likes a hangover, not even your grandma! Anything can most certainly  be a detriment to your health if you have too much, though a new study shown stating alcohol is 'healthy' in moderation, especially for old folks. Many of us seek longer life and the University of California-Irvine studies show that consumption of fair amounts of alcohol and coffee supports that longevity. In 2003 t he study has found that people "who drank moderate amounts of alcohol or coffee lived longer than those who abstained," and that "people who were overweight in their 70s lived longer than normal or underweight people did." Claudia Kawas, a key researcher for the study said,  “I have no explanation for it, but I do firmly believe that modest drinking improves longevity,” and the  research also found that subjects who drank two glasses of beer or wine every day decreased their chances of a premature death by 18%, and those who drank two cups of coffee ...
