The Denver Nuggets are your 2023 NBA Champions, and there’s cause for celebration if you’re a After beating the Miami Heat 4-1 in the Finals, the Mile High City officially welcomed their first NBA Championship in franchise history. But the city of Denver isn’t the only one celebrating their first ring. Former Texas A&M basketball player DeAndre Jordan, who donned the Maroon and White for the 2007-08 season, is officially crowned an NBA Champion for the first time in his career. The Aggies basketball team made sure to recognize the achievement of the former player, releasing a well-deserved shoutout on social media: Congrats & — Texas A&M Basketball (@aggiembk) Jordan has spent 15 seasons in the NBA, with many of his best years coming during a 10-year stint with the Los Angeles Clippers. After being selected in the second round by the franchise in the 2008 draft, Jordan would go on to make the All-Defensive team twice and All-NBA three times while also being named a two-time NBA rebounding champion. Jordan was also an All-Star for the 2016-17 season after leading the league in field goal percentage (71.4%). However, the one piece of hardware that eluded Jordan and those well-built Clippers teams was an NBA Championship. While in Los Angeles, Jordan and the Clippers had never even advanced past the second round. Now, the former Aggie can add “NBA Champion” to his resume, and he just so happened to achieve the feat before a noteworthy teammate of his from the past: DeAndre Jo...

Julius Jones, whose death sentence was commuted Thursday just hours before he was scheduled to be executed for the 1999 murder of Paul Howell, has long maintained he didn't commit the crime. Instead, he has said, Christopher Jordan is responsible. Jordan, a co-defendant during the 2002 trial, testified against Jones for a plea deal that gave him a lesser sentence. In early November, Jones appeared before the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board to make his case for clemency. He told the board, "I am not the person responsible for taking Mr. Howell's life," according to local "I was not present during this robbery, and I did not know that anyone had been killed until the day after Mr. Howell was murdered," Jones added. Jones and his lawyer said they believe Jordan was the person who killed Howell in Edmond, Oklahoma, in 1999. During the trial, Jordan was alleged to be Jones' accomplice. Julius Jones, whose death sentence was commuted on Thursday, and his attorney have maintained that Christopher Jordan is the man who committed the murder that sent him to Oklahoma's death row.

Two political rookies have filed to run for a Spokane County Commission seat representing much of the western part of the city of Spokane. Republican Kim Plese, 59, owns Plese Printing and Marketing. Democrat Chris Jordan, 32, is a lawyer with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office in Spokane. The two newcomers are running during an unprecedented year for County Commission races. Voters will select five county commissioners this fall and each of the commissioners will represent one district, not the county as a whole. It’s a major change from the county’s current political setup. Before 2022, county commissioner candidates have run in district-specific primary elections and countywide general elections. That arrangement has enabled Republicans to go undefeated in county commissioner elections for longer than a decade. Even when a district favors a Democrat during the primary, the county’s overall Republican lean has given the GOP candidate the advantage in November. A 2018 state law required the county to move from three districts to five and do away with the countywide general election. A bipartisan redistricting committee split the county into five districts in the fall. The district Jordan and Plese are vying for, District 1, covers most of Spokane west of Division Street, although it doesn’t include the Indian Trail area and its southern end stops at 29th Avenue. The area has historically preferred Democratic candidates. Plese was born and raised in Spokane. Sh...

Why you should listen Photographer Chris Jordan trains his eye on American consumption. His 2003-05 series "Intolerable Beauty" examines the hypnotic allure of the sheer amount of stuff we make and consume every day: cliffs of baled scrap, small cities of shipping containers, endless grids of mass-produced goods. His 2005 book In Katrina's Wake: Portraits of Loss from an Unnatural Disaster is a chilling, unflinching look at the toll of the storm. And his latest series of photographs, "Running the Numbers," gives dramatic life to statistics of US consumption. Often-heard factoids like "We use 2 million plastic bottles every 5 minutes" become a chilling sea of plastic that stretches beyond our horizon. In April 2008, Jordan traveled around the world with National Geographic as an international eco-ambassador for Earth Day 2008. What others say “As you walk up close, you can see that the collective is only made up of lots and lots of individuals. There is no bad consumer over there somewhere who needs to be educated. There is no public out there who needs to change. It's each one of us.”—Chris Jordan on Bill Moyers Journal May 28, 2010 The US cable channel Planet Green counts down their five favorite eco TEDTalks — with some great big visions to save the planet and the people on it.

"If we can't comprehend the issue then we don't feel anything, therefore we don't act. I'm trying to create these images that point toward comprehension of the issues so we begin to feel something, so its not just an intellectual exercise. If we feel angry, or sad, or frightened, that is when we act decisively." Around the world there are hundreds of millions of discarded mobile phones lying around in drawers and boxes, displaced by the bigger screen or better camera of the latest version. But truth be told, even if we were talking about hundreds of billions it would be unlikely to elicit a much different response, because ridiculously big numbers are ridiculously big numbers, right? Seattle-based photographer and activist Chris Jordan is on a mission to make these measures of consumerism manifest through visual art and, as he explained to Gizmag, bridge the disconnect between our mass consumption and its largely invisible consequences. We caught up with Jordan in Australia where he has been collaborating with a class of local high school students to create an installation resembling a giant cell phone at Federation Square, in the heart of Melbourne city. By using roughly 7,000 old phones to create the artwork, that's about a third of the devices that are discarded in Australia each day, Jordan hopes to draw attention to the wider effects of excessive consumerism. "In Australia there are an estimated 23 million unused mobile phones, one for every man, women and child," say...
