The Latest Word:
The Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona is currently in progress. The race started yesterday afternoon and will finish this afternoon. The teams who have come through the night unscathed (and many did not) now face the daunting prospect that a third of the race is yet to be run. This piece was originally published as part of Nightshift Sports coverage of the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s just as relevant today because it addresses a specific time in a 24 hour endurance race, and not a specific race.
“In a 24 hour endurance race, it’s only 24 hours for the car. For the crew and drivers, it’s a minimum of 32 or 36 or even 48 hours.”–Miles Geauxbye
Daybreak.
There is a trick that the night/day cycle plays on participants in around-the-clock, 24 hour endurance races.
It is called Sunrise and although the racers naturally feel that racing into the sunrise means the end of the race is very near, that is not the case.
The legendary 24 Hour races start in early afternoon, at 2:00 or 3:00 or 4:00PM and when a team makes it to sunrise–safely and still in the game–there is still approximately a third of the race to left to go.
Sunrise is a signal that, having made it through the night, you are now simultaneously required to do things: turn up the wick to close strongly and keep it all together on the track and in the pits so nothing derails your run to the finish line.
Go fast, but don’t go recklessly.
Do your very best work on the track and off at the precise time of day at which you are the most compromised in terms of energy, attention, strength, focus because you have been up all night and working longer than that.
Sunrise is a marker of progress but it’s also a false horizon: you might think you’re almost there, but you’re not.
You made to morning. Congratulations.
But a third of the race is yet to be run, and this is–like all of the race–yet another strategic point.
The next goal is to make it to twelve noon, the point at which –at Le Mans–you have three hours left.
And once you make it to twelve, you get to turn up the wick and race full blast all the way to the end of the race.
Enjoy the sunrise. But it’s not the natural end to the race, just the unnatural beginning of the end.

A legend. Roger Federer won the Australian Open, besting Marin Cilic 6-2, 6-7, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in a five set match that gave Federer his 20th Grand Slam title. Combined with 40 year old Tom Brady heading back to the Super Bowl, are we living in the age of longevity for our top athletes? The answer is an unqualified “yes”.
Saudi Prince Alaweed bin Talal, has been released from detention (he was being held in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Riyadh) after two months. Prince Alaweed was rounded up in a corruption sweep orchestrated by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman; the billionaire Prince Alaweed is considered Saudi Arabia’s most successful investor and an international businessman who is widely regarded throughout the world. Does his release signal a return to internal moderation for Saudi Arabia? Who knows, but the Kingdom is facing a turbulent future as its’ single-source economy, based on oil, starts to fade while other countries oil output–specifically that of the United States and Russia–continue to rise.

Good morning, it’s Saturday, 27 January 2018 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Welcome to 2018.
The Nightshift is moving to a more streamlined format to accommodate a slate of new Media Bunker projects.
Caroline Wozniaki has finally won a Major, taking the Australian Open women’s single title by beating Simona Halep, 7-6, 3-6, 6-4. Next up: Roger Federer vs. Marin Cilic for the Men’s Singles Championship. Tip: Bet on Federer. He’s the best big match player in history.
Paris has flooded. The Seine has overflowed its bank due to large and unrelenting rainstorms. There is more rain on the way. This is the second time in two years, and French authorities are worried about the pattern and the theory that it might be linked to global warming.
The Daily Grope: Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn, one of the very best in a very tough business, has been accused of sexual misconduct in an in-depth report initially published by the Wall St. Journal. The publication had over 100 different sources for the story. Wynn, who has donated millions to candidates of both parties, is currently the chairman for the Republican National Committee’s finance committee. He has denied the allegations. And the fallout from the U.S. A. Gymnastics scandal continues, as Michigan State is now being accused of “enabling” the behavior of Dr. Larry Nasser, the gymnastics team doctor who was sentenced to 40-to 175 years in prison for sexual misconduct. Nasser was an employee at Michigan State. It’s ugly and it’s getting uglier….
Boeing lost a huge case against Bombardier, a Canadian passenger jet manufacturer, when an over 200% tariff on Bombardier jets was ruled out.
Today is National Chocolate Cake. Bet you know how to bake a chocolate cake. If not, today’s a very good day to learn.

Welcome to 2018.
The Nightshift is moving to a more streamlined format to accommodate a slate of new Media Bunker projects.
The New York Times has reported that President Trump wanted to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller last June, but backed down when the White House counsel threatened to resign. Mueller is still in place and his investigation is gathering momentum. At the time of publishing of today’s edition of The Nightshift, Trump had yet to give his speech at Davos.
The U.S. Olympics Committee has told the entire board of U.S. Gymnastics, the governing body for the sport, to resign within six days or “else”. The demand for resignations is in response to the problems created by disgraced Dr. Larry Nasser, who was accused and convicted of extremely inappropriate behavior with the women’s U.S. Gymnastic Team members.

Dr. Larry Nasser, convicted of extremely inappropriate behavior in the U.S. Gymnastics scandal, was sentenced to between 40 and 175 years in prison. The female judge who handed out the sentence told Nasser that that she was “signing his death warrant”. More fallout from the case: the President of Michigan State University, Lou Anna Simon, has resigned. Michigan State was one location where Nasser had an office and he was present at gymnastics camps held at the school. Ms. Simon pointedly said that “as tragedies are politicized, blame is inevitable.” She spent her entire career at Michigan State.
The Chinese have announced that they have successfully cloned two monkeys, using a technique first implemented two decades in the cloning of “Dolly” the sheep.
President Trump has arrived in Switzerland. He will speak on Friday. Expect fireworks.
It will be Simona Halep vs. Caroline Wozniaki for the Women’s Singles title at the Australian Open. In the Men’s Final, Marin Cilic will play the winner of the Hyeon Chang-Roger Federer match, for Championship. Chang and Federer will play on Friday.
Today is National Opposite Day. Easy to celebrate: just do the opposite of what you normally do (eat breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast, for example). If celebrating National Opposite Day is too much for you, it’s also National Irish Coffee day, so have one on us.

Transitions: Hugh Masekela, (1940 to 2018)
The Hunt for New Music.
Hugh Masekela, one of the world’s finest and most honored jazz musicians, has died at the age of 78. Masekela, called a “great son of Africa”, was not just a terrific trump player, but also an anti-apartheid activist who spent three decades in exile. Masekela died from complications of cancer, a disease he had been fighting for several years. Rather than re-note his major contributions both to music and to South Africa and race relations in that country, in this post we will simply present a Hugh Masekela concert, in full. Please click the link on the first sentence above to read the excellent New York Times obituary of this amazing man.
As a young man, I had the opportunity to see Hugh Masekela perform in person and it was uplifting to say the least. Part concert, part evangelical meeting, Masekela raised the music stakes and intensity with every song, the pureness of the notes coming from his trumpet enhanced and complimented by the complex rhythms and chords of traditional South African music updated to a new era and cultural consciousness. If like the African influenced music that you heard on Paul Simon’s “Graceland” album (which is 100% excellent), then maybe you would appreciate a deeper dive, by listening to Makela’s work and one of his earlier groups, the Jazz Epistles.
Enjoy the concert. We thank our friends at Arte Concert and Archives Culturelles Afro for making this concert available. As always–kick it to the big screen, run it through your audio system, and enjoy.

We also thank Arte Concert and Archies Culturelles Afro for posting the video on YouTube. All rights belong to the respective rights holder. This post is a tribute to the character and music of Hugh Masekela. We need a lot more like him in our world today.

President Trump is implementing tariffs on solar panels and washing machines, in an attempt to force American consumers to buy American-made goods (or to force the companies making those items to relocate to the U.S.). In a free trade world, tariffs generally don’t work to a country’s advantage.
Two notable deaths: South African jazz trumpet artist Hugh Masekela has died as has renowned science fiction writer Usula K. Le Guin. Weather Channel Founder John Coleman died earlier in the week; Coleman was as notable for not believing in “climate warming” as he was for founding the Weather Channel.
Rafael Nadal retired with a leg injury in the 5th set of his match at the Australian Open against Marin Cilic.

The Davos Experience: What the world's most elite economic gathering looks like, in photos.
Paying Attention:
Embed from Getty Images
Once a year the world’s elite in government and business gather in Davos, Switzerland to meet, mingle, discuss, learn, and plan in the world’s most exclusive economic forum. Our friends at Bloomberg created a stunning photographic survey of the event, which you can access with one click. Later this week, U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the event; who knows what stories he will create when he gets there, but he’s already created one just by saying he would attend. And Melania Trump created yet another story by saying that she would not travel to Switzerland with him.
