Appears to preserve the bike/jogging/car lanes around the island. As well as the park area at the tip of Hains Point.

Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design.

Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

One UFO incident involved an orb that the agents described as "similar to the Eye [of] Sauron from Lord of the Rings, except without the pupil, or maybe an orange Storm Electrify bowling ball."

"Within seconds, temperatures across its 16.5-foot-wide heat shield will climb to some 5,000 degrees — half as hot as the visible surface of the sun — as the ship rapidly slows in an electrically charged fireball of atmospheric friction." https://t.co/xlh3n0iuCg

NEW: U.S. soldiers who survived Iran's deadliest attack on American troops during the five-week war dispute the Pentagon's account of the incident.

The truth, they say, is that they were left unprotected on a base that was a known target.

Mark Knoller was, by any measure, a legend of the White House press corps. His generosity with knowledge about covering the White House was as defining as the knowledge itself.

I was laid off from CBS News yesterday.

Now I’m looking for my next role in data visualization, news graphics and interactive storytelling.

If you’re hiring or know of something that could be a fit, I’d love to connect.
