Obama issues pardons, commutations
President Obama made Christmas-time commutations of 95 federal prisoners on Friday and issued pardons to two others, the White House announced.
Most of the commutations dealt with drug offenses, though the pardons involved counterfeiting and bank fraud.
Obama has now commuted the prison sentences of 184 people, surpassing the combined number of those granted by presidents Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush (117), the White House said in a statement.
Friday's list included 40 people serving life sentences.
Obama has pledged to issue more pardons and commutations in 2016.

African Union says ready to send 5,000 peacekeepers to Burundi crisis
The African Union said on Friday it was preparing to send 5,000 peacekeepers to Burundi to protect civilians caught up in a growing crisis, for the first time using powers to deploy troops to a member country against its will.
Burundi dismissed the announcement, saying no foreign force would get in without permission. But its neighbours have grown increasingly alarmed about the violence in the central African state which the United Nations says is on the brink of civil war.
Tensions have been running particularly high since gunmen attacked military sites in the capital Bujumbura last week, unnerving a region where memories of the 1994 genocide in neighbouring Rwanda are still raw.
The African Union's Peace and Security Council said in a statement it had drawn up plans for the force - to be called MAPROBU - and had asked the U.N. Security Council to give it the final clearance it needed to get boots on the ground.
The U.N. Security Council has already been looking at ways to tackle the crisis, including sending in peacekeepers.
"(The AU body) decides that MAPROBU shall have an initial strength of up to 5,000 military personnel and police," as well as human rights observers and military experts, it added.
A diplomat told Reuters late on Thursday the resolution marked the first time the AU had decided to invoke its charter's Article 4, that gives the bloc the right to intervene in a member state "in respect of grave circumstances, namely: war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity".
Burundi's government spokesman, Philippe Nzobonariba, said the force would not be allowed in without permission. "They can't invade a country if the latter is not informed and allow it," he said on state radio.
Rights groups have reported violent clashes between protesters and authorities, gun attacks and detentions of government critics. The government denies responsibility for any rights abuses.
Hundreds of thousands have fled the worst violence to hit the country since it emerged from an ethnically charged civil war in 2005.
Demonstrators said the president's decision to stand in an election he eventually won broke constitutional term limits, while his supporters pointed to a court ruling allowing his bid.
Much of the latest violence appears to be along political divides. But diplomats fear a prolonged conflict could reopen old ethnic rifts.
The civil war pitted the army, which was at the time led by minority Tutsis, against rebel groups of the Hutu majority, including one led by Nkurunziza - an ethnic split mirrored in Rwanda.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights accused Burundi's authorities on Thursday of dragging the country towards full-blown civil war and called for travel bans and asset freezes targeting key officials to try to halt the bloodshed.

The government has accused Rwanda of supporting rebels who are recruiting Burundian refugees - a charge Rwanda denies.The United Nations says at least 400 people have been killed since April when President Pierre Nkurunziza's decision to seek a third term in office triggered protests and a failed coup.

High School football player killed shielding girls from gunfire
A high school football player was killed as he shielded three girls from gunfire as several men went on a shooting spree in Tennessee, police said Friday.
The shootings that killed Zaevion Dobson, 15, began Thursday night, said Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch. The first person shot was Lisa Perry, 46, who was inside her apartment at the time.She is expected to survive.Rausch said Perry's 23-year-old son, Brandon Perry, and several other men then drove to the neighborhood where Dobson lived and "randomly fired multiple times."
The girls shielded by Dobson were not hurt, he said.
"These cowardly and senseless acts of violence must stop," Rausch said. "We should be preparing to celebrate the Christmas holiday, but now we have two men who are dead."Rausch said investigators think the shootings are gang-related, but he said there didn't appear to be a motive to target Dobson.
"Unfortunately, they picked a random group of young men and women who were just hanging out and trying to prepare to celebrate the holiday," he said.Dobson's brother Zach told WBIR-TV that he was among the group sitting on a porch when they saw the men walking up to them.
"Why would you shoot at random bystanders for nothing? We were just sitting there chilling," Dobson said. "Zae, he was an awesome kid, awesome brother. Just know that I miss him. I miss my brother."Dobson was a sophomore at Fulton High School in northern Knoxville. The school brought in counselors to speak to students taking makeup tests Friday morning.
"He was really one of our success stories," said Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. "Involved in sports, a mentee of one of our organizations in town. But still he falls victim to this."
"He was really one of our success stories,'' said Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. "Involved in sports, a mentee of one of our organizations in town. But still he falls victim to this.''Rob Black, the coach of the Fulton football team, called Dobson a "fine, fine young man."
"Only a sophomore, but a very contagious young man who was very liked by his peers and his teachers," Black said. "Going to be a tough time as we leave from here and go meet with our football players."

8 Ways To Know That A Guy Is Not Ready For Marriage
It beats my imagination when I see grown up dudes cultivating adolescence habits even though they are old enough to have set of kids they are fathering. As a result of this, ladies consider them as being unserious for marital settling down
The below points indicate a guy who is not ready for marriage;
1. He keeps several girlfriends
The flirtatious nature of some dudes can be likened to that of a rooster that chases several hens desperately and shamelessly. They however service several kitty-cats and hold boastful thrust of discussion amongst their friends, without knowing that chasing every lady on the street is not an achievement and will never be an achievement anytime any day. This is a sign of immaturity which shows that a dude’s mind is not preoccupied with marriage but bull.poo.
2. Being too dependent on parents
It is a degrading and shameful habit for a grown up man to make cooked up stories just to scam his parents for money. However, they are just so dependent on their parents for ridiculous things such as recharge card, hair cut, etc. Depending on your parents for this ridiculous things does not dignify a man.
3. Uncontrolled spending
I pity the life of some guys who spend as if there is no tomorrow. Once they make money, they won’t even think about future hardship but will spend this money on rendezvous with these hungry ladies we see around.
4. Laziness and idleness
I can’t but shake my head when I see guys clustered at jedi jedi/otapiapia seller shops. These guys having nothing bothering them and can be used for political agitation and thuggery. They are always waiting for the day God will throw them money from heaven, without working for it.
5. Eating and sleeping at friend’s house
Some dudes don’t even have caution of what they eat. They can sell their birthright just like the case of Esau. Which lady will even go on a date with this kind of a man?
6. Poor perception about Love
Some guys lack purpose, mission and vision in life that planning seems to be like a mission impossible for them. Their mentality has been wired awkwardly that the perception they have about relationship is just to sex, and when a lady denies them of it, they will say she doesn’t love them.
7. Being too proud to apologize
Guys who blame people for their misfortune and wrongdoings are nothing but dumb skill. They feel like they are doing a lady a favour by dating her. Even when they offend their supposed girlfriend, they will always expect her to apologize to them. These kind of guys have no business being in relationship at all.
8. Poor religious life
Some dudes can spend the night at club house but make dem spend ordinary one hour for church or mosque, na punishment.. That you are thinking of settling down should be a more reason why you should get closer to God and have a personal relationship with him rather than wasting your precious time at bar and clubs.

For Guys – 10 Signs She’s Probably Going To Cheat On You
For Guys – 10 Signs She’s Probably Going To Cheat On You
There always seems to be so many recognizable signs that you were
going to be cheated on that you completely missed BEFORE someone cheats
on you. Annoyingly enough, you are able to recall them after the
cheating has taken place and you are able to pinpoint in detail the day
you saw the first sign, the time of day it was, and what you were
wearing or doing or saying to one another. However, we all know that
after the fact, it is already too late to fix it unless you have a time
machine and zip back to that day and stop your significant other from
ruining the rest of your year. Cheating is normally something that is
planned out; it is rare that it “just happens” and it usually stems from
a problem(s) that has been brewing for a long time and has caused a
great deal of stress on your once happy union. A lot of the times the
significant other is not aware that their girlfriend could even fathom
the thought of cheating and ruining their blissful relationship; they
are comfortably oblivious to anything negative affecting their
relationship. The deceitful act of cheating carries harsh consequences
and even more so, years worth of pain and anger for the person being
cheated on. Just because you were not blessed with the gift of reading
someone’s mind does not mean you have to be a sucker to a miserable
potentially cheating girlfriend. Here is a list of a few signs you can
look out for; who knows, it might save you from all the negative
emotions you will be subjected to after she cheats on you.
10. She Accuses You Of Cheating
Oftentimes, the people who accuse other people of cheating are really insecure people or people who are actually cheating and have become increasingly paranoid that they will get caught (so they start pointing the finger before someone points it at them). Cheaters are usually defensive and read way too much into everything, simply to make themselves feel better about what they are doing; they deflect, it is one of the only things they can do to keep the focus off of them. To top it all off, she becomes critical of everything you do, who you are hanging out with and why (How fun? First a cheater and now insecure, great).
9. She Is Lacking In The Bedroom
Well, not necessarily in the sex department because she is clearly getting plenty, more so she is lacking in the department of having sex with you. When you go from having regular sex sessions (good sex sessions) to getting crumbs (if anything at all), then something is seriously wrong; if the other signs were not a heads up (shutting you out, having no time for you, lying about where she is) then this one has to give you all the answers you need.
8. She Keeps Mentioning This “New Friend”
All of a sudden she cannot stop talking about her new friend; she brings him up in every reference as if they are spending a lot of time together; more time than a girl with a boyfriend should spend with a new guy friend she just met a few months ago. What does he have in common with her that you possibly could not? This is not to say that every time she makes a new guy friend she is planning on sleeping with him, but it is slightly inappropriate that she is making these new “friends” and giving her number to random guys when she is out. She may not be looking to cheat at the time, but he is definitely not interested in being her good friend.
7. She Starts Random Fights
Ever fought over where her hair brush is? Or why all of a sudden she is so bothered by the fact that your apartment is messy when she comes over (but she never seemed bothered before)? Chances are she is purposely starting fights with you; looking for a way out of her unhappy situation, or maybe rounding up enough ammunition so when she does cheat on you she can recall all the times you misplaced her things, did not clean up before she came over and turn that into something about not respecting her and her presence and start bringing up the idea that things have “changed” between the two of you.
6. She Wants To Take A Break
Taking a break generally means that she is looking to explore what is out there; why else would anyone want to randomly take a break from a seemingly happy relationship unless they are moving across the country for six months to a year. Taking a break is a great indicator that she plans on exploring a relationship with someone else but refuses to carry any of the guilt or shame that comes with cheating. It is safe to assume that when/if you get back with her after this break there will be a lot of questions that will never be answered because she is not obligated to answer them; you were on a break remember?
5. She Doesn’t Always Answer Her Phone In Front Of You
Ring ring, “Are you going to get that?” She looks down at her phone and places it face down. Yes, let us all act like our phone is not ringing and continue on with our life. She never had a problem answering her calls in front of you before and now it seems like every call, text and Facebook message is a secret. More and more she wants to leave the room to answer her phone but she knows how weird that will look and in addition to it looking weird, there is panic in her eyes when she sees who is calling; either this is her high school bully calling to threaten the crap out of her, or her new lover, it is almost a 90% chance that it is the latter.
4. There Is A Slight Change In Her Appearance
She is more concerned with how she looks; she is dressing sexier, maybe wearing more makeup, cut her hair, and got herself some new highlights. She wants to make sure that if she ever runs into him she is at her best or maybe she went to see him before she got to your place. Or, it can be the complete opposite; she looks physically drained, emotionally battered, and exhausted all because she is trying to hide a lurid affair. Cheating is a draining act both physically and mentally, so she can choose to let it beat her down looks and all, or hide it with makeup and some new clothes.
3. She Is Encouraging You To Hang Out With Other People
This is only a sign if she normally wants to spend every waking minute with you, calls you endlessly and always wants to know how you’re doing. When she stops making those motherly calls and even encourages you to spend time with the boys (by the way, this might just be a subtle way for her to say she needs space) this can be worrisome. People do not just jump from wanting to be where you are all the time to suddenly being okay if they do not see you or talk to you for hours or even days at a time.
2. Your Gut Never Lies
Do you ever get the feeling that she is up to no good or something bad is about to happen but you don’t know what to make of that feeling, so you just brush it off and into a little corner to stew? News flash, that is your intuition telling you to either expect something (like her gearing up to cheat on you) or that she is already cheating on you. Your gut is generally never wrong; everyone has some sort of a sixth sense, it all depends on how deep you tap into it. Next time your intuition is giving you a heads up, go with it because you never know what you might find out.
1. She Avoids You
She has no desire to hang out with you because she feels weird about the feelings she is having; Yikes! Avoidance is never a good sign, and if she chooses to avoid you it is because something big is happening in her life that she cannot involve you. This can be a number of things; including her questioning her relationship and potentially cheating on you. This unfortunately can be a bigger sign of your relationship lacking something; maybe she wants more attention, maybe her parents hate you and she feels awkward about telling you, maybe she wants more fun but most likely, she is generally over you as a boyfriend.
