JTG is the first single-car team to win the Daytona 500 since The Wood Brothers Racing did it with Trevor Bayne in 2011. Now the 35-year-old from Olive Branch, Mississippi, has a repeat win at Daytona in NASCAR‘s biggest race of the season. Action sports star Travis Pastrana finished 11th in his Daytona 500 debut, and Kevin Harvick was 12th in his final Daytona 500. Kyle Busch dropped to 0 for 18 in the Daytona 500, but contended for his new Richard Childress Racing team. “Back in 1998, that would be the win, boys,” Busch radioed his team in deliberate reference to how the late Dale Earnhardt won his only Daytona 500.

Canada lost a political legend on this date in 2013 with the death of the past Minister of Agriculture, Eugene Whelan. In 1972 Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau brought Whelan into cabinet as Minister of Agriculture. He was famous for wearing his green Stetson and for his advocacy on behalf of Canadian farmers. Whelan also formed an unlikely friendship with his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, and escorted the future leader of the USSR on the latter’s visit to Canada in 1983. Truly larger than life, and popular amongst partisans of all political stripes, Whelan was summoned to the Senate on the advice of his old friend, Jean Chrétien in 1996.

Canada plans for justice ahead of grim anniversary of war in UkraineLVIV, Ukraine — Nearly one year ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau walked up to a podium in Ottawa, flanked by three of his top ministers, and declared the world had changed overnight. "The horrors of the genocide and the war crimes that have happened, it's not forgivable," said Ihor Michalchyshyn, the executive director of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, in an interview in Ottawa. "I think that would be a nightmare scenario, where the war ends, justice fails. Ukraine's general prosecutor Andriy Kostin told Joly the country has already identified 60,000 crimes linked to the war. That's a possibility that weighs on Michalchyshyn's mind, but he said his fear about that scenario is muted by talk of international justice, criminal tribunals, and accountability.

“[Y]ou may take up a book in time,” Ackroyd continues, “but you read it in eternity.” In an Ackroydian sense, Zagajewski’s books are true, of their era and eternal.Even when it does not literally rhyme, great poetry rhymes. “Try to Praise the Mutilated World” was deftly translated by the acclaimed translator and Northwestern University professor Clare Cavanagh, as are the poems in Zagajewski’s latest and last book, True Life, published posthumously. His work was banned in Poland in 1975, leading eventually to his living in exile from 1982 to 2002. As he grew older and his poetry began to move in a less blunt and more ineffable direction, Zagajewski retained that sense of wisdom, and True Life radiates that belief in the revolutionary nature of trying to understand. Whether one finds the assertion true or false in a universal sense, in his own broad senses of time and space, Zagajewski himself was a poet who did live everywhere, and who, thanks to such books as True Life, will continue to do so.

Mac McClung might have single-handedly restored the shine on a dunk contest that has been widely panned in recent years. “Ever since the beginning, I was the underdog,” said McClung, who put on a Gate City jersey — his high school and hometown in Virginia, population 1,600 — for the final dunk. Riding the momentum of that perfect dunk, he wound up hoisting the trophy that was newly renamed for dunking legend — and former 76ers star — Julius “Dr. No judge agreed, and his two-dunk score of 95.4 wasn’t good enough to make the final round. Lillard, the Portland star, won the three-point contest by topping Indiana teammates Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton in the final round.

Jimmy Carter, 39th US president, enters hospice care at homeATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter, who at 98 years old is the longest-lived American president, has entered home hospice care in Plains, Georgia, a statement from The Carter Center confirmed Saturday. Jason Carter, the couple's grandson who now chairs The Carter Center governing board, said Saturday in a tweet that he “saw both of my grandparents yesterday.

A reserved table at Gabby’s diner on Danforth Avenue will soon turn into the centre of a memorial service in remembrance of frequent customer and retired CBC Radio journalist Michael Finlay, who died after an assault on the streets of Toronto. With a Pilsner in hand and chicken wings in front of him, Finlay sat time and again for six years at the same table in the diner, said the manager of the restaurant. “It’s just tragic seeing this happen to a guy you’ve known for almost half a century,” longtime friend Malcolm Morrison told the Star. Family and friends will remember Finlay on Tuesday Feb. 21 at the restaurant during a private event from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.“This is where he came every day. If you were ever to walk by him and say hi, he would engage in a conversation,” said Gabby’s diner manager.
