NEW YORK (AP) — No ex-president had a more prolific and diverse publishing career than Jimmy Carter . His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation. And just before his 100th birthday, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation honored him with a lifetime achievement award for how he wielded “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.” In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others. “Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them. “In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote. Here is a partial list of books by Carter: “Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President” “The Blood of Abraham: Insights into the Middle East” (With Rosalynn Carter) “Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life” “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections” “Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age” “Always a Reckoning, and Other Poems” (With daughter Amy Carter) “The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer” “Living Faith” “The Virtues of Aging” “An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood” “Christmas in Plains: Memories” “The Hornet’s Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War” “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis” “Faith & Freedom: The Christian Challenge for the World” “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” “A Remarkable Mother” “Beyond the White House” “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work” “White House Diary” “NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter” “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety”Arkansas visits skidding Miami in battle of veteran coaches

CvSU hosts Aaccup Bayanihan 2024AP Trending SummaryBrief at 5:07 p.m. ESTWomen's rugby's biggest star is leaping into pastures new in 2025. Ilona Maher, the American rugby supernova who took the country by storm as a part of the United States' bronze medal-winning sevens side in the summer, is taking her talents to Bristol Bears in January, she announced on social media Monday afternoon. Maher, who parlayed her impressive on-field exploits to appearances on Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition and, most recently, "Dancing With the Stars," had long been linked to a move abroad, with rumors swirling in October that she was on the cusp of inking a deal with sides in Bristol and Gloucester. A post shared by Ilona Maher (@ilonamaher) MORE: Who won Dancing with the Stars in 2024? In the end, Maher waited until the winter to make her move. She had to finish shooting "DWTS," after all. Now, she'll get ready for her latest test — a signing that will see her spurn her favored sevens for 15s over the next few months. With more than seven million followers across her various social media accounts, there will be plenty following along hoping to see Maher impress at the highest level. Who are the Bristol Bears? The Bristol Bears are a professional rugby union club based in Bristol, England. They compete in Premiership Women's Rugby, the top-flight division of women's rugby union in England. Formed in 1984, Bristol Bears has a far lengthier history than most of its adversaries. They play matches in Shaftesbury Park and Ashton Gate — the latter of which holds 27,000 and hosts Bristol City FC contests, as well. The Bears are one of six sides to have competed in every season of Premiership Women's Rugby since its inception in 2017-18. They've yet to capture a league title but finished as runner-ups to Gloucester last year, falling 36-24 in the championship final. Maher revealed that one of her primary reasons for inking a deal with the Bears lied in her national team affiliation: she's hoping to use her three months in Bristol as a springboard for the 2025 Rugby World Cup, also held in England. “I want to put myself in the best position to hopefully be selected for the World Cup," Maher told The Guardian's Sarah Rendell . "I think there are many reasons. I really love what the PWR is doing and I think I love their branding, I think that’s really cool. I have been in the USA sevens for six years now, so I wanted to try something different, go and live somewhere else, meet new people." It's unclear quite what position Maher will play over the next three months — her contract expires after that. Still, the 28-year-old is hoping to better herself in more ways than one over the course of her contract's lifespan. "I think we will see wing, some centre,” Maher said. “Then I would love to, we were just talking about it, when we can try in the forwards and see if there is an opportunity sometime to go to eight or flanker. "I have never been lifted before because in sevens I am always the biggest girl so I think this is a great time to learn those other skills, you wouldn’t get the opportunity to [in sevens]."

A of farmers voted for Donald Trump, even though the president-elect’s economic agenda is antithetical to the financial interests of American agriculture. Since the dawn of this century, the for the production of food grains, feed grains and oil seeds. Much of that acreage has been in tropical regions. At the same time, population growth in China, a primary buyer of U.S. agricultural goods, has slowed, and its population is aging. Similar trends can be seen in other countries that have been traditional importers of U.S. goods. We also face major geopolitical events, such as the Ukraine-Russia war, and most resolutions of that war would likely adversely affect U.S. farmers. The world has changed. Competition among major producing nations has changed the ability of American agriculture to be a preferred and low-cost provider of grains to other nations. Against this backdrop, one must ponder the question of how an isolationist foreign policy and the use of heavy tariffs could possibly lead to anything other than serious adverse consequences for our U.S. agricultural sector. History teaches us lessons, and sadly we often forget them while drunk on the political cocktail of the moment. During the first Trump presidency, significant tariffs were imposed on China. This led to major negative impacts on U.S. farmers. What did the government do? The Trump administration created an ad hoc disaster relief program that paid billions to U.S. farmers. “Ad hoc” is just a shiny term for an administration not being able to get its act together to have a consistent and logical approach to setting policy. It is akin to government by chaos — going from one fire drill to another. Trump was elected based on many promises, one of which was to “drain the swamp.” There is a lot of chatter about reducing government outlays for all sorts of programs. Trump wants to put America “first.” Setting aside political differences, the reality is that America is not an island. It is an important part of the larger world. Withdrawal from engagement with other nations, whether in the context of trade or overall foreign relations, cannot lead to good consequences for America’s economic security, nor for our nation’s ability to play a strong role in maintaining a stable and peaceful world. My fellow farmers, it is time for a reality check. We face way more than a theoretical risk of losing a large share of the markets for our grains and livestock. Don’t count on that brown envelope from Uncle Sam in your mailbox to bail you out from hardship. From the extensive reading that I have done on the topic of the economic impact of Trump’s tariffs, no credible economist paints any picture other than one of significant detrimental consequences to our agricultural sector. The same is true for many other segments of the economy. America has to maintain a global perspective — rather than one that stops at our shores — to stay competitive and to remain in its role as a world leader. The proposed paths of Trump’s next presidency are antithetical to those roles. Palen is a Kansas native and a fifth-generation farmer and agriculture consultant in Colorado and Kansas.
