| Kris Bryant Could Be the Leadoff Hitter the Cubs Need in 2020 Posted: 19 Feb 2020 10:00 AM PST  © Denis Poroy/Getty Images Chicago Cubs 3B Kris Bryant may hit leadoff in 2020 One component the Chicago Cubs have lacked over the past few years is a true leadoff hitter. The team has deployed a multitude of players atop the batting order, but none have claimed the spot as their own. According to insider Bruce Levine, another familiar face will be opening the 2020 campaign as the leadoff hitter for the Cubbies. Kris Bryant will answer the call in hopes of providing a long-term solution kicking off the Cubs' offense. In 2019, Chicago featured a handful of different names in the leadoff spot. The likes of Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist, Javier Baez, Kyle Schwarber, Jason Heyward, Albert Almora Jr. and Daniel Descalso all saw double-digit starts in that role. Meanwhile, Robel Garcia, Tony Kemp, Ian Happ and even Willson Contreras were also installed as temporary leadoff hitters. Fiddling with the batting order didn't lead to improved results, and the club ranked near the bottom of the league in most offensive categories when it came to production from the top spot. Bryant seems ready to step up and try to produce in the role his teammates couldn't. In 2019, Bryant slashed .282/.382/.521 with 31 home runs and 77 RBI. His ability to get on base could prove valuable for the Cubbies as they search to find a stable leadoff hitter. Most Cubs fans would rather he lead off than leave town, right?  |

| GM Layoffs 2020: 1,500 Employees Cut As Two Plants Are Sold Posted: 19 Feb 2020 09:03 AM PST General Motors (GM) is reportedly pulling back its global operations, selling two plants in Thailand. The sale of the Thailand plant will occur in June, laying off about 1,500 workers in the process, Reuters reported. GM announced on Monday that it was selling two plants in the industrial province of Rayong, Thailand, to China's Great Wall Motor. As part of the sale to Great Wall Motor, GM employees located at the plant will not be transferred through the transaction, Jak Punchoopet, adviser to the Minister of Labour told the news outlet. "Their plan is to lay off 1,000 employees in the auto parts manufacturing line in June, and then around 300 to 400 in the assembly line in October." According to Punchoppet, the rest of the workers at the plant would be let go towards the end of 2020. Workers will reportedly receive severance pay in accordance with Thailand's labor laws, in addition to a four-month bonus to all affected employees. Shares of GM stock were up 1.35% as of 11:04 a.m. EST on Wednesday.  |
| NFL combine quarterbacks: Brian Lewerke a sleeper in 2020 NFL draft? Posted: 19 Feb 2020 09:02 AM PST  Brian Lewerke recently finished his college football career at Michigan State. Can he make it in the NFL? (Photo: Rich Barnes, Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports) Former Michigan State quarterback Brian Lewerke threw for 8,293 yards and ran for 1,255 yards during his college football career. He threw 47 touchdown passes and had 32 passes intercepted. Does he have a chance to continue his career in the NFL? Lewerke, who played high school football at Pinnacle High in Phoenix, will get a chance to impress scouts at the upcoming NFL combine, which starts next week. He was one of 17 quarterbacks invited to participate at the event. Check out what some NFL sites and writers are saying about Lewerke and his NFL draft prospects. SB Nation listed Brian Lewerke as a possible sleeper in the 2020 NFL draft. Morgan Moriarty wrote: "In his three years as the Spartans' starting QB, he finished with 9,548 yards of total offense, which ranks first in school history. A shoulder injury limited him in 2018, but he came back to throw a career-high 3,079 yards in 2019. He has a pretty impressive 40-yard dash time, too." College Football News wrote that Brian Lewerke needed a good workout at the combine. Pete Fiutak wrote: "Was it the team or the player? Great as a sophomore, miserable as a junior, and okay as a senior, does he have the raw skills worth developing as a key backup? He needs a workout to make him a late round flier." MORE: Lewerke, Purdy, Rattler among former Arizona high school QBs in college football spotlight Spartans Wire compared Brian Lewerke to Brian Hoyer. Andrew Brewster wrote: "While fans have been hot and cold on Lewerke for seemingly his entire career, he managed to throw for 8,293 yards over 41 games in a difficult Big Ten Conference. He finished his career with 47 passing touchdowns and 32 interceptions. He also showed good mobility over his career, rushing for 1,255 yards, averaging 3.6 yards-per-carry to go along with 10 touchdowns. I have seen Lewerke taken in mock drafts here and there, although not with regularity. He could very easily be the next Brian Hoyer where he is able to carve out a nice career as an NFL backup." Pro Football Network listed Brian Lewerke as a quarterback to possibly target on the third day of the draft.  Before going to Michigan State, Brian Lewerke was a standout quarterback at Pinnacle High. (Photo: Rob Schumacher/azcentral sports) AJ Shulte wrote: "Do you know those guys that seemingly peak in high school and then ride that success all the way to the top? That was basically Brian Lewerke, who had an exciting redshirt sophomore season, then regressed well-behind what he was, and ultimately landed a spot at the NFL Combine. Lewerke is a good athlete who flashes competent play a few times a game, but then the rest of his tape is littered with headache-inducing plays. I don't believe there's a draftable QB in Lewerke to salvage, but the NFL likes to gamble with quarterbacks." Walter Football wrote that Brian Lewerke looks like a backup quarterback in the NFL. The site ranks him No. 12 on its list of quarterbacks in the draft. It writes: "Lewerke completed 59 percent of his passes in 2019 for 3,079 yards with 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He looks like a backup-caliber quarterback for the NFL." Cowboys Wire wrote that Brian Lewerke can develop into a solid backup quarterback in the NFL. It wrote: "Lewerke has certainly had ups and downs during his time at Michigan State, but I can say with confidence if drafted, he can step in and immediately be the second-best quarterback on the roster. He is a rhythm passer who can go through streaks of inaccuracy when off his game. His electric arm is apparent and able to be utilized off-platform and from multiple angles, a point to his generally good upper-body mechanics. Lower body mechanics are enough to support accuracy, though the presence of a good pass rush withers this trait. He can struggle to navigate the pocket while under duress and be over-aggressive to a significant fault, putting the ball in harm's way too frequently. He is a fit for McCarthy's West Coast scheme and has tangible development available to him. If so, Lewerke can develop into one of the better backups the league has to offer." Sports Illustrated has Brian Lewerke as the No. 15-ranked quarterback in the 2020 NFL draft class. Draft Wire ranks Brian Lewerke No. 13 among quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL draft.

| Trump takes 2020 lead, 52%-48%, all Democrats ‘probably lose’ Posted: 19 Feb 2020 08:34 AM PST A politically resilient President Trump has pushed into the lead of the 2020 White House race, riding the public's good feelings about the economy and the view by voters that all leading Democratic candidates will "probably lose," according to the latest election survey. By a 52% to 48% margin, Trump is leading the generic "Democrat" in the race, a significant margin for a president who just beat back impeachment to stay in office. The latest Economist/YouGov survey also found that most voters believe that Trump will probably beat all of his Democratic challengers by at least 19 percentage points. While White House officials are buoyed by the results and other polls showing a post-impeachment surge, some told Secrets that they believe the race is extremely tight and unclear due to the emergence of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in the race. But what they are pleased with is the finding in the survey and others that the economy is tops on the minds of voters and that the president is getting credit for its advances as well as those on Wall Street. The survey also found that Trump has unified the party, which is upset with Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney's vote to convict the president in the impeachment process and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's tearing up of the State of the Union address. Said the survey analysis: "Utah Senator Mitt Romney's vote to convict the president on one impeachment count does not sit well with Republicans. In this poll, only 21% of Republicans have a favorable rating of Romney; 70% are unfavorable (Democrats, on the other hand, view him favorably, 62% to 25%.) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's ripping up of the text of the president's speech after the State of the Union gets criticism: Americans disapprove 48% to 38%. Those who disapprove include 21% of Democrats and 51% of independents."  |
| Bloomberg 2020 Senior Advisor Responds to Sexism Allegations Posted: 19 Feb 2020 08:20 AM PST Read Transcript EXPAND CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: So, let's move on to the women issue. I mean, again, you know, this has come up over and again, there's been an article in the "Washington Post" about, you know, certain comments. Mike Bloomberg has called them body jokes, some of the more, you know, pointed accusations, he's blatantly, you know, fully denied. But how do you think this is going to affect, A, what other candidates are going to sort of, you know, rain down on him, and B, his electability amongst women? TIMOTHY O'BRIEN, SENIOR ADVISER, BLOOMBERG 2020 CAMPAIGN: Well, I think there's — again, I think there's — I think over the last week, you know, these are questions that came up when Mike ran for mayor of New York. They've come up over the last few years. These aren't new questions. Voters in New York put them aside because most of the accusations did not involve him personally. We want to take them on, specifically in the #MeToo era. You know, we feel as a campaign that #MeToo is a healthy development. Women have been held back in the workplace and in politics and in social life for far too long by men who are either crass, unfeeling or predatory, like for example, Donald Trump himself. Mike Bloomberg is not that person. What's come out over the last weekend are sort of in two, you know, categories. There's this issue of a gag book of jokes that was given to him 30 years ago, jokes he did not write that had very offensive and gross jokes about women in them. He didn't say any of those things and he didn't write the gag book. But the press is pulling quotes out of that book as if they're quotes out of Mike Bloomberg's mouth. He has repeatedly denied saying them. We will continue to say that. But the media is sort of having a field day with that and it's obviously helping research from Mike's competitors. The other set of issues here are the sexual harassment claims that came in to Bloomberg L.P. Again, we think it's a very healthy development that women in the workplace have the tools they need to defend themselves if they're being treated abusively in the workplace. There are dozens of those lawsuits and the press has had headlines saying Mike Bloomberg accused by 45 women of sexual harassment. Those lawsuits are targeted at Bloomberg L.P. They are the defendant in those cases. In none of those cases has Mike Bloomberg been accused personally of predatory behavior, in the ones that have come to light and that have been adjudicated. In one case, Judge Prescott, who is a very prominent well- regarded female judge who is very tough on workplace harassment issues, found that the case lacked the evidence to go forward. About This Episode EXPANDTim O'Brien, senior advisor to the Bloomberg 2020 campaign, joins Christiane to discuss stop and frisk, Michael Bloomberg's treatment of women and other criticisms of the presidential candidate. Historian Tim Snyder tells Ana Cabrera about his book "On Tyranny" and the health of American democracy. Elizabeth Cohen and John Pomfret give Christiane an update on coronavirus.

For fall, Daniele Calcaterra said he got inspired by John Cage's 4′33″composition, consisting of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed. This translated into an essential, minimal vibe running through the clothes, which along with the brand's signature coats and dresses cut in monastic, streamlined silhouettes, also included oversize Eighties' jackets with strong shoulders matched with bleached jeans injected with a Nineties' feel.

| Former 2020 Democrat Andrew Yang joins CNN as commentator Posted: 19 Feb 2020 07:31 AM PST Former 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang is set to join CNN as a political commentator, the network announced Wednesday. "I'm excited to join CNN to help shed light on the election and the candidates' experiences. Learned a lot these past months and am glad to contribute to the public discussion," Yang tweeted, noting that he would be on the network later in the day to discuss the Nevada Democratic debate. Yang ended his long-shot presidential bid last week after failing to finish in the top tier in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. His campaign outlasted those of some members of Congress and governors. The tech entrepreneur has since said he would consider joining the administration of one of his ex-Democratic rivals if he or she defeats President Trump in the November election. Yang, who is not ruling out a future run for office, said last week he's ready to help the eventual Democratic nominee but has not endorsed a candidate. "If my efforts and exertions can help ensure that Donald Trump doesn't win, then I'll be there every freaking moment of every freaking day," he said. "I'll go fight for it. What are we doing here otherwise? What am I going to do, just watch Trump get reelected? That would be terrible."  |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2020 07:21 AM PST Beto Bummer Although I'm not a Texan, I was so inspired by Beto [O'Rourke]! I guess I still am; he made me better. It's unfortunate that the Texas Monthly editors chose to bash him ["The Bum Steer Awards," January 2020] rather than see the positive difference his campaign made in people's lives.Molly L. Bonnington, Saginaw, Michigan So when did [Beto O'Rourke] abandon Texas? When he was—and still is—helping other candidates? When he returned to El Paso after the shooting? . . . If it is because he did not run for Senate, why aren't you giving [Julián] Castro the same treatment?Angela Nelson, via Facebook Kind RegardsI admit I was skeptical when I started reading your first collection of "The Best Things in Texas" [January 2020]. But the more I read your list of good things, the more I approved of it. We are at a terrible place in our nation's history, with blue versus red wanting to tear one another's eyes out. This oasis of kindness gives us hope. Maybe the old state motto—"Friendship"—still has legs.John Burnett, Austin Political HitI was filled with so much Texan pride after reading the Texanist's response to "Name Withheld" [about the Texanness of being liberal, in the January 2020 issue] that I had to reach out. I was brought up in the Permian Basin, in Midland, went to college in San Antonio, went to law school in Waco, and now live in Dallas. From my moves across Texas, I've had the opportunity of seeing a variety of Texans at their best and worst, both red- and blue-leaning, from Pecos to Carthage. Throughout it all, I've come to find that as a whole, Texans are a friendly, helpful, and wonderfully diverse lot. The Texanist's warm and thoughtful response was probably more polite than the curmudgeonly Name Withheld deserved, but it definitely pulled at my heartstrings. It emphasized a message that easily carries to the national and global stage: we as Texans are made up of and made better by our vibrant differences.Gabby Shayeb, Dallas I was born in Texas, like my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and, likewise, my child and grandkids. My personal politics don't match half the people I know. Some are Texans, like me, and some got here as quick as they could. Regardless, calling us not Texans is looking for a fight. I don't agree with a lot of the politicians in the state and agree with none of them about everything. But, by God, I'm a Texan until I die.Guy Covington, via Facebook The most horrific twelve words to a Texan—"Hi, I just moved here from California. Where do I go vote?"Justin Riley, via Facebook Editors' note: Our Pat's Pick column in the January issue included an incorrect opening date for the Dallas restaurant Salaryman. The correct date is September 11, 2019. We regret the error.  |
| Dining Guide: Highlights From Our March 2020 Issue Posted: 19 Feb 2020 07:15 AM PST Texas Monthly adds and updates approximately sixty restaurant listings to our Dining Guide each month. There's limited space in the print issue, but the entire searchable guide to the best of Texas cuisine is at your fingertips online! Below are a few highlights from the new restaurants reviewed in our March 2020 issue. You can also read up restaurant critic Pat Sharpe's latest Pat's Pick, Cibolo's Kindling Texas Kitchen. Click "More Info" for further detail on each restaurant: Austin HestiaChef Kevin Fink doesn't do predictable. The chef-owner of Emmer & Rye opened Hestia in December, with originality and complexity front and center. The minimalist glass-walled room on Shoal Creek is dark and sexy at night, and the service is beyond attentive (enthusiastic waiters explain everything). The name honors the Greek goddess of the hearth, and cooking takes place on or over a twenty-foot grill. Top bites on an early visit included sliced raw avocado and ember-roasted beets, richly flavored with beef tallow and tricked out with a beet pickle. Another favorite was Alaskan king crab leg in a delicious roasted kelp butter with a touch of persimmon vinegar. Dry-aged wagyu skirt steak (impressively tender for that cut) came with Hestia's one-of-a-kind soy-based steak sauce made with eels (anchovies are way too obvious). Emmer's pastry chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph is on hand with stylish desserts like lemon streusel cheesecake. New American | ⭑⭑⭑ | $$$ | More Info Dallas Ellie'sArt is clearly the theme of this restaurant; a light sculpture of a molecular structure hangs over the dining room like a constellation, and there's a self-guided art tour. With neutral tones and white floors, the handsome space is anchored by a bright quadriptych (the patio's mosaic is a stunner too). Chef Eric Dreyer (formerly Oprah's chef and a sous chef at Fearing's) revamps classic sixties dishes, many inspired by recipes from Craig Hall's mother, Ellie—think crab Louie, deviled eggs, Salis- bury steak (at lunch). At dinner we started with Texas Beef Meatballs, an appetizer version of that Salisbury steak, made of ground brisket, beef rib, and chuck, in a satiny gravy with garlic and mushrooms. It succeeded as a nostalgic redux, but the salads we ordered lacked pizzazz. A perfectly cooked maple-glazed salmon with tender Carolina Gold rice restored our faith. A seared scallop dish was well executed but played it safe with flavors, echoing the bivalves' sweet note with sunchoke puree and roasted carrots; a brightening element would make this good dish great. A delicious bowl of ancient grains with mushroom salad and cauliflower proved more exciting (perhaps a glimpse of Dreyer's prowess when freed of sixties-era constraints). Chocolate pie—a tartlet with an unwieldy toasted marshmallow—couldn't top the diner classic. American | ⭑⭑ | $$$ | More Info  Pan con tomate at Ático. Photograph by Trevor Paulhus Fort Worth ÁticoTim Love ventures to the Iberian Peninsula for his new rooftop perch overlooking the historic Stockyards, downtown, and much of the city. Sit on a fancy stool at one of two counters overlooking kitchen or cocktail operations or in the cozy bar area. From a menu starring noshes from the smoker, grill, or wood-burning oven, a sure hit is Jose's Tacos, tissue-thin slices of cured jamón iberico crowned with caviar. Smoked hummus with roasted sweet chiles spread on toasted bread makes a good companion to both the roasted Island Creek oysters, topped with lemon, Parmesan, and micro-basil, and the spicy, buttery whole grilled shrimp. Bigger plates include tender, juicy pork shoulder slathered with aji amarillo chiles and chimichurri; ask for some of the house-made tortillas alongside. Spanish | ⭑⭑⭑ | $$$ | More Info Houston KinWith a mid-century-modern look and a large central bar, the bustling, chef-driven Politan Row food hall offers a wealth of culinary talent, like Evelyn Garcia, one of about a dozen vendors in the space, who is dishing up Thai food that incorporates a variety of Southeast Asian flavors. Her menu features snacks, wraps, soulful curries, and roti, with the barbecue brisket roti being a definite highlight. We would also come back for the wonderfully spiced yellow curry with seasonal vegetables, crispy shallots, and chile oil. Ditto the laab lettuce wraps with spicy citrus pork and coconut rice. Can't decide? Do the Kin tasting menu and try everything—ideal for four to six people. Hall menus do change, so don't get your heart set on one dish. And bring your earplugs, as the music is unrelenting and loud. Thai | ⭑⭑⭑ | $$ | More Info San Antonio Mi Familia de Mi TierraThe Christmas-all-year twinkle lights and glittering bulbs of Market Square's Mi Tierra have moved north to the Rim, and if opening-week crowds (and our excellent meal) are any indication, it's a gift to north-side San Antonians that won't go unappreciated. The restaurant (and bar in one wing) is wrapped around a sunny courtyard strung with tin-punched lights and a Frida Kahlo–blue wall, so every table feels festive. A new appetizer, Chicharrón de Ribeye, makes a pretty package: double-cooked morsels of steak on a tower of chunky guacamole with roasted-tomato-and-chile salsa. Start with that and then sample your way through flautas with tart tomatillo sauce, egg-battered and picadillo-filled chiles rellenos, thin-crusted carne asada empanadas with avocado salsa, and a generous platter of tender cabrito, all worth the wait for a table. Polished service and a kitchen that has its act together are appreciated. Do note: big families, parties, mariachis, and a bit of mayhem are the norm (expecting a quiet, romantic dinner would be like finding that at your own clan's Christmas table).

| From the Editor, March 2020: Father and Son Posted: 19 Feb 2020 06:52 AM PST John Quincy Adams is widely—and perhaps apocryphally—quoted as saying, "I am a warrior so that my son may be a merchant so that his son may be a poet." It's a noble sentiment, but what if one of your parents is already a distinguished writer? In the case of Peter Holley, our new Houston bureau chief, you become a fine storyteller in your own right. An Austin native and seventh-generation Texan, Peter joined Texas Monthly at the end of December to cover our state's most important city, as well as business and entrepreneurship statewide. He has since published engaging stories on our website about everything from the self-driving trucks that are rolling into Texas to data that indicate Houston's cost of living may now rival that of New York City. For the past five years, Peter worked for the Washington Post, focusing most recently on innovation and technology. He earlier reported for the paper from Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as from Houston after Hurricane Harvey. Before joining the Post, Peter worked for Houstonia magazine, the Houston Chronicle, and the San Antonio Express-News. He earned his B.A. in law and society from American University, in Washington, D.C., and his M.S. in journalism from Columbia University. But well before that, he was, in a sense, home-schooled. "Some people grow up with a dad who teaches them to tune an engine," Peter says. "Mine taught me to trim the fat off a bloated paragraph." Peter's father, Joe Holley, has worked at some of the same papers his son has worked for, including the Post, the Express-News, and the Chronicle, where he and a colleague were named Pulitzer Prize finalists for their editorial writing. At the Houston paper, he writes the "Native Texan" column, a beloved examination of our state's colorful small towns. Joe was a frequent contributor to Texas Monthly in the nineties, and we're pleased to have lured him back, starting with his story in our February issue about three towns whose wealthy benefactors are helping them defy the trend of rural decline. In March, our website will feature an excerpt of Joe's new book, Sutherland Springs: God, Guns, and Hope in a Texas Town (Hachette Books, March 17), about the town where, two years ago, a shooter killed 26 churchgoers. Joe describes how, upon hearing the news, he drove to Sutherland Springs from Austin and gravitated toward a candlelit prayer vigil. There, someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was Peter, who had been visiting relatives in Kerrville and, like his dad, rode toward the sound of the guns, and covered the story for the Post. "I was proud to watch him work," Joe says. Peter felt the same way about his dad. I hope you enjoy Peter's work and Joe's, and the other stories on our website and in our magazine.  |
| Kenan Thompson to headline 2020 White House Correspondents’ Dinner Posted: 19 Feb 2020 05:52 AM PST Saturday Night Live's Kenan Thompson and Netflix's Hasan Minhaj will headline this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner in April. Thompson, the long-time SNL comedian, will host the dinner and Minhaj, who can be seen on Netflix's Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj and was a former Daily Show correspondent, will be the featured entertainer. No word yet on whether President Donald Trump will attend the event. He has broken presidential tradition the past three years and didn't show up for the affair. "Kenan and Hasan are two of the most engaged and engaging entertainers in America. I'm thrilled they'll help us celebrate the role of a free press in our democracy," Jonathan Karl, president of the White House Correspondents Association and ABC News' chief White House correspondent, said according to Variety. "We're looking forward to a lively evening honoring the most important political journalism of the past year." Last year, in lieu of the traditional jokes and laughter at the expense of political figures, the White House Correspondents Dinner instead provided guests with a primer on journalism. Historian Ron Chernow discussed journalism's history and the importance of the First Amendment. In 2018, comedian Michelle Wolf sparked controversy at the event after she attacked former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. "I think she's very resourceful, like she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye," Wolf told the audience about Sanders. "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies." Wolf also went hard at President Trump, his aides, Republicans, Democrats and also the media, which she said let Trump go unchecked too often. "He has helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster and now you are profiting from him," Wolf said.

Bush. "I stand by this man," Colbert told the audience about Bush. " I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers, and rubble, and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message: that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound—with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world."  |
