Pyeongchang and the South Korea ski culture

it seems that Korean hip-hop music blasts from the speakers as snowboarders, decked out in neon from head to toe, cruise by on a slope as busy and bustling as a street in downtown Seoul.

It's midnight. The slopes are still open and the music's still blaring.

This is skiing South Korean-style: fast, furious and full of energy.

Knicks legend Charles Oakley gets arrested after skirmish at MSG

Former NBAer charged with three counts of third degree assault

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Charles Oakley's no-nonsense demeanor and penchant for physical confrontations were part of his portfolio when he played 18 NBA seasons primarily for New York, Chicago and Toronto. And in the years since he retired (2004), Oakley as tough guy has become the stuff of legends, sort of the league's version of a "Chuck Norris" joke as someone with whom one would not want to mess. In recent days on Twitter, for instance, someone related a tale of Oakley taking a young child from another player's arms - just so he could smack the dad.

What Oakley got involved in Wednesday, though, in the stands at Madison Square Garden was no joke. It was, instead, unacceptable and a threat to Oakley, security and customers attending the Knicks' game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Oakley angrily scuffled with MSG security a few rows from the court, as players from both teams watched, during the game's first quarter. It wasn't initially known what triggered the exchange, but video clips of Oakley shoving men who appeared to be trying to calm or restrain him hit social media quickly. He was hustled out of the arena bowl by a cadre of Garden employees.

The NYPD said Oakley was arrested on three counts of assault, all third degree. He was being processed for a desk appearance and will be issued a summons to report back to court.

The Knicks issued a statement soon after Oakley was dismissed:

Troubling as the incident was, it offered a reminder that odes to toughness and nostalgia about the league's "villains" and "enforcers" can get carried away. Oakley's strong, aggressive and even intimidating presence at power forward helped the Bulls, the Knicks and the Raptors reach the playoffs 15 times in his first 15 seasons. Once Oakley got there, he got better, averaging 10.9 ppg and 10.2 rpg in 144 postseason games compared to 9.7 ppg and 9.5 rpg in 1,282 regular season contests.

He ranks ninth in NBA history in offensive rebounds, 15th in defensive rebounds and 21st in total rebounds overall (12,205). No less than Michael Jordan, an Oakley teammate and friend, lauded his toughness and help when Jordan was a young player, and the NBA in the 1990s - in the wake of Detroit's notorious "Bad Boys" championship teams - was a rougher league that tolerated a higher level of physical play.

Oakley couldn't comport himself on a basketball court in quite the same way in 2017, however, and at age 53, surely can't behave that way off the court.

How to block robocalls to your cell phone
Automated telemarketing calls, or robocalls, to cell phones, have become one of the biggest consumer complaints.
But the good news is that several apps will now block them.  Blocking apps with the highest ratings at the iTunes store or Google Play include....

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Automated telemarketing calls, or robocalls, to cell phones, have become one of the biggest consumer complaints to the FTC this new year, but there are now more ways than ever to fight back.
Scammers Moving to Cell Phones
The shady marketers making those credit card and "free vacation" calls are no longer targeting just land lines, but private cell phones, since so many people have dumped their land line.

In addition, the rise of VOIP (internet based) phone calls mean they can make millions of calls a day at no charge, where 10 years ago they would have to pay for each outgoing call.

Add to that the overseas scammers pretending to be FBI or IRS agents, threatening us with arrest, and every call you answer now is a potential hassle

Kim Jones said phony IRS agents, Sheriff's deputies, timeshare hawkers, and credit consolidators ring her iPhone every day.

"I can show you my call log, where the same number comes through 2 or 3 times a day," the frustrated woman said. "But I've reported it, and I still keep getting this call.
Billions of Calls
It's sometimes called cell phone spam, and the Federal Trade Commission estimates computerized robocallers made 4 billion of them last year.

Worse, many now spoof their number, making it appear the IRS, the White House, or even one of your neighbor's is calling.

But the good news is that several apps will now block them..

NoMoRobo

If you have just an old style landline, Amazon sells several Caller ID units that also claim to block marketing calls.
Most Popular Blocker
The most popular is NoMoRobo which works on internet based landline phones as well as Phones and Androids (unfortunately not for old fashioned copper land lines).

Its founder recently testified before Congress, claiming the 10 year old "Do Not Call" list no longer works, as it stops only legitimate companies, such as banks and insurance companies from calling

The $5 a month NoMoRobo service compares you incoming call with a list of millions of robo callers and sends questionable calls to your voicemail, where most scammers will not leave a message.
Use Temporary Numbers
A somewhat different service is "Burner," which gives you a temporary phone number to share with stores and businesses.

Burner founder Greg Cohn explained that for $5 a month you get a disposable phone number you can change whenever pesky sales people start calling you too much.

Cohn said, "a great example is a time when that car salesperson is going to try to put you behind the wheel and they are going to try to get your contact information, and believe me they are going to call and text you!"

He said you give them your temporary number, then "dispose" of it and get a new number a month later. You still have your personal cell phone number, but you never share it except with family and friends.

Kim Jones is going try some of these services, because she --like a lot of us --- is at wit's end.

"No matter how many times you tell them that you're not interested, to remove your number, still they call," she said.

Trying some of these apps on your internet-based (VOIP) cable landline or smartphone is smart, so you don't waste your money.
