Q: In addition to employing millions of people for a few months, the decennial Census measures population shifts that determine the apportionment of congressional seats among the states. Consequently, it also alters the makeup of the Electoral College, which we're still using. And in that respect, the official figures for the 2010 Census released today are not good for President Obama. For the most part, states he lost in 2008 gained seats, while states he won in 2008 lost them. Texas, for example, gained four congressional seats and four electoral votes, while two seats and two electoral votes were taken from New York. In total, if Obama won the same states in 2012 as he did in 2008, he would have six fewer electoral votes. That could mean the difference in a close race, but it won't change the campaign  the same states that are always battlegrounds will remain battlegrounds, and the election will pretty much hinge on who gets Ohio and Florida, which is great for those two states. 
  
 Census Data Show 308 Million People and a Regional Shift [NYT] ||||| The Census announced today that the U.S. population rose 9.7% to 308,745,538, the slowest increase since the Great Depression. The data also reapportioned the number of seats in the House of Representatives. Here’s the list of who lost and who gained seats: 
  
 New York -2 Ohio -2 Illinois -1 Iowa -1 Louisiana -1 Massachusetts -1 Michigan -1 Missouri -1 New Jersey -1 Pennsylvania -1 Arizona 1 Georgia 1 Nevada 1 South Carolina 1 Utah 1 Washington 1 Florida 2 Texas 4 |||||

A: Here's a look at the states that will either gain or lose seats in the House based on the new Census results, from the Wall Street Journal: Gainers: Texas, 4; Florida, 2; and six states with 1: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah, and Washington. Losers: New York and Ohio lost 2 seats each, and eight states lost a single seat: Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Crunch those new numbers, and the results aren't great for President Obama, notes New York's Daily Intel blog. Generally speaking, states that he lost gained seats, and states that he won lost seats. Obama would have had six fewer electoral votes under these new allotments.

Q: Nigeria will be represented at the Winter Olympics for the first time ever, after their women's team qualified for the bobsled event at the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang. 
  
 Driver Seun Adigun and brakemen Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omeoga completed the fifth of their required five qualifying races on Wednesday, becoming the first African team, men or women, to qualify in the Bobsled category. 
  
 In women's bobsled, teams are required to complete five races to qualify. The Nigeria team, led by driver Adigun - a former African 100m hurdles champion and 2012 summer Olympian - completed races in Utah, one in Whistler, and their final two races in Calgary on Tuesday and Wednesday. 
  
 "This is a huge milestone for sports in Nigeria," driver Adigun told KweséESPN. "Nothing makes me prouder than to know that I can play a small role in creating opportunities for winter sports to take place in Nigeria. 
  
 "Our objective now is to be the best representation of Africa that the Winter Olympics have ever witnessed."

 Solomon Ogba, President of the Bobsled and Skeleton Federation of Nigeria, was understandably thrilled at the achievement, saying via a media statement: "I commend the personal dedication and commitment of these women. 
  
 "Their hard work was inspiring and I hope Nigerians can appreciate what it took for them to achieve this - the work, the discipline, and the personal sacrifices. They were amazing throughout this journey. 
  
 "They are all very successful people in their own right - in sports and out of it, and somehow they are still motivated and still push for more success. 
  
 "I have watched them train and work hard to represent Nigeria at the Winter Olympics in a very technical and high risk sport and they have achieved that. They should be very proud, and I am very proud of them." 
  
 Nigeria could yet secure another spot at the Games, with driver Simidele Adeagbo just three races away from qualifying for the Skeleton competition. ||||| It might just be the greatest bobsleigh story to come out of a tropical nation since Cool Runnings . 
  
 The Nigerian women's two-person bobsleigh team took a big step to making history on Wednesday as the first African team to compete in bobsleigh at the Winter Olympics. Their story echoes the 1993 movie starring the late Canadian comedian John Candy about the Jamaican men's bobsleigh team that competed at the Calgary Olympics in 1988. 
  
 It is a dream come true for former sprinters Seun Adigun, Ngozi Onwumere, and Akuoma Omeoga, whose ticket to Pyeongchang will make them the first Winter Olympians to represent the West African nation. 
  
 Driver Adigun, who represented Nigeria in the 100 metres at the 2012 Olympics, and brakemen Onwumere and Omeoga, completed the fifth of their required five qualifying races in Calgary on Wednesday. 
  
 Although the Nigerians have achieved the qualifying standard, there is still work to be done. Countries hoping to race in Pyeongchang must be in the top 40 of the global rankings on Jan. 14 after seven World Cup races. 
  
 "It is not possible for any team to qualify for the Olympic Games this early," Nicola Minichiello, the North American Cup co-ordinator for International Bobsleigh Skeleton Federation (IBSF), told Reuters in an email. "If we base their results on last year's rankings the team [is] likely to qualify, however this will not be confirmed until much closer to the time." 
  
 Regardless, the team was flooded with praise on social media.

 In a recent interview with NBC posted to Onwumere's Instagram account, the team said most people are surprised to learn that they do the bulk of their training in warm weather. 
  
 Their unprecedented feat appears to have inspired and perplexed many, and of course, references to Cool Runnings were inevitable.

A: An amazing achievement by the Nigerian women's bobsled team had more than one person speculating about Cool Runnings 2 this week. The team—driver Seun Adigun and brakemen Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omeoga—qualified for the 2018 Winter Olympics after completing their final qualifying races in Calgary, ESPN reports. They are now the first Nigerian team to qualify for the Winter Olympics, and the first African bobsled team, women or men, to qualify. "This is a huge milestone for sports in Nigeria," Adigun says. "Our objective now is to be the best representation of Africa that the Winter Olympics have ever witnessed." Adigun, who represented Nigeria in the 100 meters in the 2012 London Olympics, started training for the bobsled in 2014, the CBC reports. She told interviewers this week that many people are surprised to find out the team does most of its training in warm weather. The 2018 Games will take place in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from Feb. 9 to Feb. 25. Previous Winter Olympics bobsled teams from tropical countries include the 1988 Jamaican team, subject of 1993's Cool Runnings. ESPN notes that Nigeria could end up having two teams in the Winter Olympics if Simidele Adeagbo manages to qualify for the women's skeleton event.

Q: Serena Williams' Wedding Huge Stars, Tennis Themes ... and Bell Biv DeVoe! 
  
 Serena Williams' Wedding, Huge Stars, Tennis Themes and Bell Biv DeVoe! 
  
 Here's one case where Bell Biv DeVoe broke their own rule -- and totally trusted a big butt and a smile ... because they were some of the VIPs at Serena Williams' wedding!! 
  
 It all went down in New Orleans on Thursday night -- where huge stars like Kelly Rowland, Ciara, La La Anthony, Boris Kodjoe, Kim Kardashian and Caroline Wozniacki partied until the early morning. 
  
 And here's the first look at Serena's dress ... 
  
 A post shared by Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) on Nov 17, 2017 at 5:27pm PST 
  
 As we previously reported, Serena and her (now) husband Alexis Ohanian went all out on the party -- and due to the fact the guys from BBD were there and wearing matching clothing ... we're guessing they performed live. 
  
 The decorations were tennis-themed -- the guest seating placards were in the shape of Wimbledon and U.S. Open trophies. Pretty damn awesome. 
  
 We'll have more on this throughout the day-- so keep checking back! 
  
 Mazel! ||||| Serena Williams is a married woman. 
  
 The tennis sensation wed Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian Thursday evening in New Orleans. 
  
 The couple, who are proud new parents of 11-week-old daughter Alexis Olympia Jr., tied the knot at the Contemporary Arts Center in the French Quarter, where they said their “I do’s” in front of a star-studded crowd, including Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian and Vogue editor Anna Wintour. People also reported newly engaged Caroline Wozniacki joined the festivities with her future husband, former Knick David Lee. 
  
 While Williams, 36, confirmed to Vanity Fair that she and Ohanian, 34, would wed this fall, much of their glitzy ceremony was shrouded in secrecy until hours before. Sources told Page Six the guests weren’t informed of the wedding locale in advance and told cars would pick them up from their hotels on the day of the event. Those invited were also said to be banned from posting snaps on social media, given that Williams inked a deal to share her wedding photos exclusively with Vogue. 
  
 They started dating in 2015, and Ohanian popped the question to Williams a year later while the twosome vacationed in Rome. The tennis pro later announced the engagement on Reddit. 
  
 “This time he made it not by chance / But by choice,” Williams gushed. “Down on one knee / He said 4 words / And I said yes,” Williams shared. 
  
 Months after getting engaged, Williams accidentally revealed her pregnancy in April, showcasing her baby bump on Snapchat. She and Ohanian welcomed their first child in September. 
  
 Williams is expected to return to the tennis circuit next year. |||||

A:
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian got married Thursday night in a New Orleans wedding ceremony that Page Six reports was "shrouded in secrecy until hours before." Sources say even the guests didn't know where the wedding would be held until cars picked them up from their hotels and they were taken to the venue, the French Quarter's Contemporary Arts Center. Once they arrived, the guests—who included Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, and Anna Wintour—were not allowed to post photos on social media, though People has photos of guests arriving. TMZ reports the nuptials were tennis-themed, with guests' place cards in the form of tennis trophies. Williams, 36, and Reddit co-founder Ohanian, 34, just had a daughter together. (Sister Venus Williams lost a small fortune in a burglary.)
