$3 million libel verdict over disputed surgery advice upheld
NMU DELAWARE Libel May 12, 2000
The state high court found that questions of whether allegations made were facts or opinion were properly left to a jury, but a dissenting judge thought the case should have been dismissed before trial.
The state Supreme Court upheld an almost $3 million jury verdict against The (Wilmington) News Journal on May 3, finding that the determination of liability was supported by the facts presented to the jury.
However, the court ruled that the $2.6 million in actual damages awarded to a doctor were based on expert testimony "that lacked an admissible foundation," while the jury was unfairly restricted by the judge's decision that they could not consider the wealth of Gannett, the newspaper's parent company, in determining punitive damages.
The case arose out of a News Journal article that recounted the medical crisis that faced Pamela Kane, a woman whose doctor had recommended in April 1992 that she undergo a hysterectomy to remove a fibroid tumor "sitting in her cervix." The doctor, Margo Kanaga, also recommended that Kane seek a second opinion before agreeing to the operation. But during an emergency room visit a few weeks later prompted by heavy bleeding experienced by Kane, a doctor was able to remove the tumor with forceps, avoiding the need for a hysterectomy or any invasive surgery. Kane filed a complaint with the county medical society, and approached a health reporter with the News Journal about doing a story on what she considered a doctor's recommendation of unnecessary surgery for financial gain.
The News Journal decided to run a story without waiting for a decision by the medical society. Under the headline "Patient feels betrayed: says proposed hysterectomy wasn't needed," the article reported that Kane's complaint accused Kanaga of committing "a serious breach of the standard of care a patient has the right to expect." Kanaga declined to discuss the case with the newspaper.
The medical society cleared Kanaga of any wrongdoing eight weeks later, finding that a hysterectomy was "one of several appropriate therapies" for Kane's condition.
In upholding the jury verdict, the Supreme Court rejected Gannett's argument that the claim was based on statements of opinion based on true facts, which cannot support a libel verdict. The court held that the issue of whether the article was fact or opinion was a question that had to be answered by a jury.
"Taken as a whole, the article conveys the impression that Dr. Kanaga recommended unnecessary surgery for financial gain. The reporting of Kane's complaint to the Medical Society was prefaced by a headline depicting the patient as feeling betrayed by her physician — an obvious violation of the duty owed by a physician to a patient," the court held.
The court also noted that Kane's use of the term "incredulously" to describe the emergency room doctor's view of Kanaga's actions were disputed by the emergency room doctor, and that medical records attached to Kane's complaint, which the reporter possessed prior to the publication of the article, "differed in several key respects from Kane's complaint."
In a surprising decision to step into the role of editor, the court also decided that a reasonable jury could conclude that publishing the article without waiting for a decision by the medical board "evidenced journalistic irresponsibility." The court noted that the story "did not involve a plane crash or other immediate news event," yet the newspaper chose to present a "highly charged, biased, one-sided version of events."
The court rejected Gannett's argument that the article was a "fair report" of an official proceeding because of the complaint filed with the medical board. The court found that the issue had already been decided four years earlier when Kanaga had appealed the dismissal of the case before trial, which the Supreme Court then reversed. But it repeated its finding that the fair report privilege did not apply because the jury found that statements in the newspaper article were factual in nature and their substance was false. "The article's falsity takes it out of the realm of such protection," the court held.
One judge dissented, finding that the court's decision will have a "chilling effect" on free speech. Noting that the disputed comments represented Kane's opinions based on disclosed facts, Judge William Chandler said that "a libel action cannot lie against a speaker for expressing an opinion that does not imply false, defamatory facts."

Republican runs for Minneapolis mayor
Curtis Gilbert
The DFL has controlled the Minneapolis mayor's office for more than 30 years, but Cam Winton hopes to break that streak.
"I'm not seeking the endorsement of any party, because I want to call it like I see it," said Winton, who kicks off his campaign tonight. "I want to talk about potholes and police officers and what we can do to make it easier for businesses to start here and grow here."
The 34-year-old attorney argues the city needs to simplify its regulatory bureaucracy, hire more police and spend more on road repair. To help pay for those priorities, he'd divert money earmarked for building new bike lanes and buying expensive software licenses.
Winton contributed $500 to the Republican Party of Minnesota last year, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. But he says his support for same-sex marriage and his work in green energy will help him court the votes of the liberals who dominate city politics.
Democrat Barack Obama captured 80 percent of the Minneapolis vote last year; Republican Mitt Romney got less than 17 percent.
The last non-DFLer to be elected mayor of Minneapolis was independent Charles Stenvig, who served in the 1960s and '70s. The last time Minneapolis elected a Republican mayor was P. Kenneth Peterson in 1959.
The office of mayor is technically non-partisan, but candidates are free to list any party affiliation or political philosophy they like on the ballot as long as it's three words or fewer.
Four years ago, candidates chose a variety of unique labels, including "Edgertonite National Party" and "Moderate Progressive Censored." One candidate, named Joey Lombard, simply asserted he "Is Awesome."
No one identified themselves as a Republican, and Winton won't, either. He's going with "Fresh leadership now."

The first looks at Calvin Klein Collection, which walked earlier today, were a deep, evocative blue. Sometimes navy serves as an alternative to basic black, but here it was rich and full, on minimal silk dresses, a curve-hugging leather coat, and kicky, capri-length flares. The navy quickly evolved into cream and blue color-blocking and sexy, shoulder-baring sheer netted dresses. Red leather, in laser-cut tank tops and mini skirts, preceded angelic, '90s-minded white floor-length looks and sparkly metallic minidresses. Francisco Costa has always played with the minimal house codes of Klein, but here the clothes were simple in the best possible way.

My Online TV Series
L.L. Cool J was born James Todd Smith on January 14, 1968, in Bay Shore, Long Island, New York, to Ondrea (Griffith) and James Smith. Todd, as he was called, did not have a very happy childhood. At the age of four, he saw his mother and grandfather shot by his own father. After they recovered from their injuries, his mother began to date a young physical therapist she met while in the hospital. The therapist treated Ondrea kindly, but for years he abused Todd physically and verbally, which resulted in Todd becoming a bully himself. It was during this period that he started wearing hats all the time (one of L.L. Cool J's trademarks is the fact that people never see him without a hat on--until recently). Fortunately, Ondrea finally discovered what this man was doing to her son and left him. As he grew older, Todd found a way to escape the effects of his abuse and his bullying attitude: hip-hop music. He fell in love with it at the age of nine, and by 11 he was writing lyrics and making his own songs with some DJ equipment his grandfather gave him. At 15, he and one of his best friends came up with his present stage name, L.L. Cool J, which means "Ladies Love Cool James." In 1984, when L.L. was 16, he met Rick Rubin, a student at NYU, who gave him his big break in music. Rick really liked L.L.'s music and decided to try to get him a record deal. Together, they made the single "I Need a Beat" and sent it to an artist manager named Russell Simmons. Simmons loved the single, and, in the same year, Rick and Russell co-founded the famous Def Jam Recordings; L.L.'s debut album, "Radio," released in 1985, after securing a distribution deal for Def Jam with Columbia/CBS Records, was the label's first long-playing release. Even today, L.L. is considered one of Def Jam's most prized possessions. 1985 was also the year L.L. started his acting career. He first appeared in Krush Groove (1985), which is a semi-biographical account of the early days of Def Jam Recordings. L.L. had a cameo appearance in the film. In 1986, L.L. also had a cameo appearance in the movie Wildcats (1986) and also wrote that movie's theme song. After that, L.L. took a break from film and concentrated more on his first love: music. His career took off, and after every one of his albums hit platinum-selling status, he was (and still is) regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. After a few years, he had small roles in a few other films, but was still better known for his music. All this changed in 1995. By this time he was a happily married 27-year-old with three children. His first starring film, Out-of-Sync (1995), had also been released. It didn't do very well at the box office, but it got him noticed by executives at NBC-TV, who wanted to give him a part in a sitcom they were going to air. This sitcom was In the House (1995), which showed L.L.'s acting ability; the show stayed on the air until 1999. He had been offered several films roles during the run of the show and decided to accept a part in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). Its success resulted in L.L. being cast in bigger and better film roles, and he has acted alongside actors such stars Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Lee Curtis, James Woods, Al Pacino, Omar Epps, Pam Grier, Stanley Tucci, and Dennis Quaid, to name a few. In 2000, he was finally rewarded for his acting talent. That year he won a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for the best supporting actor in the action film Deep Blue Sea (1999). Even though his film career has taken off, he hasn't forgotten his love of hip-hop music. In 1998, he was planning to retire from hip-hop and just concentrate on his film career, but he later decided to keep dividing his time between both fields. L.L. is not only known as one of the greatest MCs of all time, but he is also known as a great actor.

Arizona's original capital city, Prescott is surrounded by natural beauty while providing a bustling nightlife along Whiskey Row. Known as "Everybody's Hometown," Prescott offers that cabin-in-the-woods vibe that Northern Arizonans love so much. Cool climate, outdoor recreation and live entertainment opportunities abound – that's Prescott.
Hard to believe now, but Bisbee was once the largest cosmopolitan between St. Louis and San Francisco back in the early 1900s. Though a much smaller town, this year, USA Today ranked it the "Best Historic Small Town in America", and they own that quirky small town vibe. Temperatures average highs of 89 in the peak of summer, 20 to 30 degrees less than Phoenix or Tucson.
Regarded by Native Americans as sacred, Sedona features the most scenic ridges in AZ, glowing red among the temperate getaway destination. 1.8 million acres of national forest land surrounds the town, providing visitors with endless recreational activities while not straying too far from the allures of the small town Sedona.
Who could imagine waking up in sub-40F temperatures in the Arizona summer? Days reach the mid-70s during June & July, perfect for zip-lining through the pines or walking around downtown Flagstaff.

How a New Law Will Change the Way You Protect Your Identity
Legislation headed to President Trump's desk would make credit freezes and fraud alerts more consumer-friendly. Here's what that means for you.
Karla Bowsher • May 24, 2018
Photo by Zerbor / Shutterstock.com
If the recent rash of data breaches has left you worried about having your identity stolen, we have a rare bit of good news: Credit freezes and fraud alerts should soon change for the better.
Congress is poised to send a bill that would make credit freezes free and fraud alerts longer-lasting to President Donald Trump — who will sign it into law "shortly," he tweeted Wednesday morning. The bill that contains those protections is called the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act.
The U.S. House of Representatives approved the bill Tuesday with a 258-159 vote — which the New York Times described as "a rare demonstration of bipartisanship." The Senate approved the legislation in March.
A credit freeze — also known as a security freeze — blocks others from accessing your credit file.
The U.S. Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) explains:
"Creditors typically won't offer you credit if they can't access your credit reporting file, so a freeze prevents you or others from opening accounts in your name."
Freezing your credit file with all three major nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — is generally considered the best way to protect your credit from identity fraud. Currently, though, those companies can charge for freezes in many states.
Equifax has been offering free freezes in the wake of its extensive data breach, but only through June 30.
Trump's signing of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act would make credit freezes free at all three agencies. This change would not take effect until 120 days after the bill becomes law, however.
Longer-lasting initial fraud alerts
Placing a fraud alert is already free. This measure, as the CFPB defines it, "requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing an additional card, or increasing the credit limit on an existing account based on a consumer's request."
There are two main types of fraud alerts: initial and extended.
An initial fraud alert is meant for folks who believe they are a fraud victim or are at risk of soon becoming one.
Currently, an initial fraud alert lasts for 90 days. So, you must renew it every 90 days for as long as you want it to remain in effect.
The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act would make initial fraud alerts good for one year rather than 90 days. That change also would not take effect for 120 days after the bill becomes law.
An extended fraud alert lasts for seven years but is reserved for victims of identity theft.
The broader bill
The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act is an extensive piece of legislation that would change a lot more than the cost of credit freezes and the length of fraud alerts.
For example, as the bill's name suggests, it contains regulatory rollbacks for the financial industry — which Republicans, including Trump, have eyed since he took office.
The New York Times explains:
"The bill … represents a substantial watering down of Obama-era rules governing a large swath of the banking system. The legislation will leave fewer than 10 big banks in the United States subject to stricter federal oversight, freeing thousands of banks with less than $250 billion in assets from a post-crisis crackdown that they have long complained is too onerous."
For this reason, you will find that opinions of the bill adopted by Congress on Tuesday run the gamut from cheers to jeers. It depends on who is opining and what part of the bill they're opining about.

Cavities cause tooth decay and tooth pain -- needless to say, they're something we wish to avoid. When tooth decay builds up so much that it causes physical holes in the teeth, this is known as a cavity. A cavity can invite bacteria deeper into your teeth, which can lead to more severe decay and even cause you to lose your tooth.
A cavity develops when it is frequently exposed to acids found in sugars and starches in the foods you eat. Brushing can help to wash away these sugars and starches, minimizing your risk for cavities.
• Brush your teeth at least twice each day with a fluoride-containing toothpaste. You should brush for at least two minutes to really get your teeth clean. Set a timer or commit to brushing throughout a commercial break of your favorite television show.
• Floss at least once each day. Sticky, hard-to-reach bacteria linger between your teeth. Flossing helps to free up these bacteria and keep them from causing decay.
• Chew a piece of sugar-free gum after you finish eating a meal and can't brush your teeth. Sugar-free gum helps to scrub the teeth to reduce sugary substances. The gum also stimulates saliva production that helps to wash away cavity-causing bacteria.
• Eat a healthy diet. Avoiding sticky, high-sugar foods such as candy and gummy foods can help keep away bacteria that are attracted to these sugars. Healthy foods, such as crunchy fruits and vegetables, also helps to encourage saliva flow and keep the teeth clean. Whenever possible, avoid snacking between meals. Doing so gives your teeth a chance to repair themselves between meals to keep your teeth strong and healthy.
Regular check-ups are part of your cavity prevention strategy. To schedule your checkup, call your family dentist in Springville at (801) 489-4541 to make an appointment.

Church Desecrated With Insulting Tags in Rouen
Date of incident: August 14, 2022
The doors and several sections of the façade of the Saint-Patrice church in Rouen were tagged with insulting slogans and militant symbols on the night of Saturday 13. August. The Diocese released a statement expressing the sadness due to the desecration and announced that the parish has filed a complaint with the police for damage to property. The tags were removed from the historic Church on the 16. August.
The diocese released a statement saying: "The diocese shares the emotion of the Catholic faithful and the inhabitants who are shocked by the offensive nature of these tags and hurt by this act of vandalism, which is all the more distressing because it was committed two days before the feast of the Assumption."
"Freedom of worship is a fundamental freedom which includes the right not to have places of worship degraded." tweeted Henri de Beauregard, while attaching a photo of the attack and tagging the Minister of Interior, Gérald Darmanin.
This attack takes place after the Ministry of the Interior released a report on January 2022, showing that in 2021 alone 1,659 anti-religious acts were committed in France, including 857 anti-Christian acts. Also, two members of the French parliament have warned about the "growing seriousness" of anti-religious attacks.

Four arrested for dramatic heist at Tirana airport
airport crime banking Albania
Tirana airport
AFP/Tirana
Four people have been arrested over the Hollywood-style theft of several million euros of cash on the tarmac of Tirana's airport, police said.
The suspects, all residents of Albania and aged 25 to 38, have been charged with armed robbery and illegal possession of weapons, police said in a statement Monday evening.
'During the checks carried out, police found evidence that will help the investigation' and 'has been handed over to the prosecutor's office,' the statement said. It did not specify when the group was taken into custody.
The armed and masked gang gained access to the runway of the capital's Mother Teresa airport on April 9 and stole money that was about to be loaded onto an Austrian Airlines flight and destined for a bank in Vienna.
Police have not revealed the amount stolen but local media reports range from six to 10 million euros, whisked away in less than five minutes.
One of the suspects, a known criminal cast by the media as the likely ring leader, was killed in a shootout with the police during a chase.
According to Albanian media reports, among those in custody is an Islamist who studied theology in Yemen and went on to fight with the Taliban in Afghanistan, where he was arrested by US forces in 2006 and deported to Albania.
Police have not confirmed that report.
Media also said two of the other suspects are believed to be responsible for disguising the getaway car as a tax authority vehicle, which helped breach airport security.
Prime Minister Edi Rama heaped blame on the Chinese state-owned company that has operated the international airport since 2016, saying they 'failed to guarantee' security.
There have been a string of robberies on the road to Tirana's airport in recent years.
Many foreign banks operating in Albania send hard currency abroad because the local central bank does not accept such deposits for security reasons.

History vs. Myth
10 Most Long-lived Empires in History
Republic of Venice
Napoleon helped bring about the end of the Venetian Empire.
Hemera/Thinkstock
The pride of the Venetian Empire was its massive naval fleet, which enabled its rapid expansion across Europe and the Mediterranean, eventually conquering historically important cities such as Cyprus and Crete. The Venetian's ruled for an amazing 1,100 years, from 697 A.D. to 1797 A.D. It began when the Western Roman Empire fell to Italy, but started in earnest when Venetians declared Paolo Lucio Anafesto their duke. The empire went through several significant changes, but consistently expanded across what is now known as the Republic of Venice, eventually warring with -- among others -- the Turks and the Ottoman Empire.
An abundance of wars left the Venetian Empire with little in the way of defenses. The city of Piedmont fell to France, and Napoleon Bonaparte seized parts of the empire. When Napoleon issued an ultimatum, and Doge Ludovico Manin surrendered in 1797, Venice was brought under Napoleon's rule [source: Willis].
The Republic of Venice is a classic example of an empire stretching its borders so far that it couldn't properly protect its capital. Unlike other empires, it wasn't civil war that led to its demise, but war with its neighbors. The highly regarded Venetian naval fleet, which had once been on the offensive, was stretched too thin to defend its own empire.

Nass, Clifford and Scott Brave. Wired for Speech: How Voice Activates and Advances the Human-Computer Relationship. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2005. xvii + 96 p. ISBN 0-262-14092-6. $32.50.
This book is the culmination of ten years of research focused on the psychology and design of voice interfaces by the authors. Voice-interface technology had numerous problems before 2000, when the open source CSLU Toolkit appeared on the scene and assisted with some of the problems. Now with voice extensible markup language (VXML), as well as compelling experiments and designs from academia and private enterprise, much more is known and can be explored with computer-activated voice products and services.
Our world is now populated with interfaces that talk and listen to us. Almost every major business is now manned by a computer-maintained voice interface that offers choices and options to the caller. For many, these interfaces are frustrating and non-friendly, as they often keep callers from talking to a real person, and they cannot respond to emotions or problems directly. In this book, the authors present new theories and ideas from actual user testing and courses showing how people interact with technology-based voices. In the first chapter, the authors discuss the importance and background of sound and speech as the basis for human interaction and communication. In Chapter 2, they present evidence regarding issues of whether computer voices should sound male or female. Chapter 3 contains information related to gender stereotyping of voices, even in computer-generated voice technology. Moving from stereotyping to personality, Chapter 4 examines how humans relate to similar and dissimilar voice personalities from computers. Chapter 5, then, shows how mixing personalities in voice interfaces happens, and why confusion can result in inconsistencies between users and voice interfaces. The topics of accents, ethnicity, and race in voice interfaces are dealt with in Chapter 6. In Chapter 7, user emotion and voice-generated emotion are discussed, especially in relation to talking cars, while Chapter 8 further elaborates on the mixing of voice and content emotion in computer interfaces. The issue of synthetic voices and whether users interact differently with them and can tell the difference, as well as multiple voices, is dealt with in Chapter 9. Whether users should be able to choose the voice of their interface is examined here as well. The concept of "I-ness," and whether synthetic and recorded voices should actually sound like humans, is brought up in Chapter 10. Chapter 11 then moves into the issues related to synthetic and recorded voices and faces. The pros and cons of mixing recorded and synthetic voices is discussed in Chapter 12, while some interesting communication contexts from experimentation and user study are explored in Chapter 13. Misrecognition and blame is examined in Chapter 14. Finally, in the conclusion, the authors summarize their findings, and move the direction of the book from listening to and talking at voice interfaces, to speaking with them.
What I especially liked about this book is that the authors provide specific directions to the reader at the beginning that the footnotes (of which there are many) do not provide additional information outside of the text. They are there to acknowledge references, as well as provide statistical information such as data tables and questionnaires for further study. Summarization of this statistical information is already present in the text, so the authors only include the full statistics in the footnotes, for those so inclined to examine them. This book provides some very interesting information on the current state of voice-enabled technologies, their relation and significance to human-computer interaction, and where the future may be heading for this technology.

Jermaine Dupri Says Jay-Z Didn't Advise Him To Turn Down NFL Deal
August 22, 2019 - 2:51 pm by Alexis Reese TWITTER
"He and I never had a conversation where he told me 'don't do what you're doing.'"
After Bryan-Michael Cox and DJ Funkmaster Flex made separate claims that Jay-Z advised Jermaine Dupri to turn down a deal with the NFL, the record producer, songwriter, and rapper sat down with Big Tigger on Atlanta's V103 Wednesday (Aug. 21) to deny the claims.
Dupri said his deal with the league was to "curate a series of free shows held at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park" and the event would happen before the Super Bowl. In 2018, the rapper took to his Instagram with the official post.

Here's a quick timeline of the alleged rumors:
Cox joined a Twitter live stream with LoolaTV on Wednesday (Aug. 14) to make the claim that Jay-Z advised Dupri to turn down an NFL partnership. "We're also talking about a guy who single-handedly picked up the phone and called Jermaine to tell him not to do it ... not even a year ago."

College Football Officials Pondering Policy Changes After Incident With Odell Beckham Jr.
A domino effect might be on the horizon after Odell Beckham Jr.'s encounter with LSU players and a security officer that led to arrest warrants and debates about possible NCAA violations.
Speaking to USA Today Sports Thursday (Jan 16) executive director Bill Hancock said officials from the College Football Playoff will investigate practices that allow non-players to engage with players on the sidelines during events such as the national semifinals and championship games.
"Being on the sidelines is a privilege," Hancock told the outlet. "Along with any privilege comes responsibility, because the focus should be on the people playing and coaching in the game, rather than on any visitors. The CFP will be reviewing its policy for allowing guests onto the sidelines and into locker rooms at future games."
While the LSU Tigers beat Clemson Monday to secure a spot in the national championship, all eyes were on the Cleveland Browns wide receiver for handing out money to players and slapping the buttocks of a Superdome security guard. The incident took place in the LSU locker room. It was initially reported that the money was fake but it was confirmed that the money was actually real.
Video of the incident went viral and just a few days later, New Orleans Police Department public affairs officer Juan Barnes confirmed that the security guard filed the complaint. An arrest warrant for simple battery was issued against Beckham Jr. on Thursday.
The NFL star and former LSU player possibly committed an NCAA violation "if it's determined athletes with eligibility remaining received cash," USA Today Sports mentions. OBJ and his representatives are cooperating with authorities, the Browns said in a statement.

— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) January 16, 2020
LSU will now investigate the incident to confirm if any NCAA violations were committed and if it will affect any of the players seen in the video.
Many have pointed exactly why the officer was in the locker room in the first place. As the players were celebrating their big win, the security guard allegedly threatened the players who were smoking cigars in the locker room. Stephen A. Smith reacted to the news and the NCAA possible violation as "bogus."
Olympic Committee Bans Athletes From Kneeling, Raising Fists During 2020 Tokyo Games
The International Olympic Committee banned athletes from any form of social protests during the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Games. The IOC's Athlete's Commission released guidelines on Thursday (Jan. 9) warning athletes to keep Olympic venues and the podium free of "political, religious or ethnic demonstrations."
"We believe that the example we set by competing with the world's best while living in harmony in the Olympic Village is a uniquely positive message to send to an increasingly divided world," the commission explained in a statement. "This is why it is important, on both a personal and a global level, that we keep the venues, the Olympic Village and the podium neutral and free from any form of political, religious or ethnic demonstrations.
"If we do not, the life's work of the athletes around us could be tarnished and the world would quickly no longer be able to look at us competing and living respectfully together, as conflicts drive a wedge between individuals and nations."
Kneeling, raising fists, and displaying any political messaging (including signs or armbands) are named as banned forms of social protests. The IOC also added a list of other places where athletes can go to "express" their views" during the Olympic Games.
Athletes have been known to make social and political statements at the Olympics, years before Colin Kaepernick spearheaded kneeling on the football field. Most notably at the 1968 Olympic games in Mexico City where Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised the black power fist while the U.S. National Anthem played in the stadium.
U.S. Olympian Gwen Berry lambasted the newly-released IOC regulations as a "form of control." Berry, a competitor in the 2016 games in the hammer throw, raised her first at the Pan Am Games last year.
"It's kind of like silencing us at the biggest moments of our lives. I really don't agree with it," Berry told Yahoo! Sports."They want it to just be sports, for the love of sports.
"We sacrifice for something for four years, and we're at our highest moment. We should be able to say whatever we want to say, do whatever we have to do – for our brand, our culture, the people who support us, the countries that support us, [everything]. We shouldn't be silenced. It definitely is a form of control."
The summer Olympics kick off on Friday, July 24.

Trae Young Aides In Clearing $1 Million Medical Debt For Certain Atlanta Residents
In partnership with RIP Medical, the Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young supported the nonprofit's mission of eliminating debt for the city's residents who couldn't afford certain bills. According to WSB-TV, Young's $10,000 donation led the $1,059,186.39 medical debt to be erased.
"The city of Atlanta has welcomed me with open arms. Giving back to this community is extremely important to me," the guard said. "I hope these families can find a bit of relief knowing that their bills have been taken care of as we enter the New Year." Since 2014, RIP Medical Debt has wiped out over $1 billion in healthcare costs since its inception, ABC News reports.
In a November 2019 report by CNBC, 137 million Americans are dealing with astronomical medical debt. So much so that the report claims Americans have been considering dipping into their 401(k)s to assist with the medical costs.
A year after joining the league in 2018, the 21-year-old established a foundation in his name. The outlet "was formed with the goals of continuing education for mental health problems, particularly cyber and social media bullying. Children and adults on a daily basis deal with depression, anxiety, PTSD among other issues that are caused by cyber and social media bullying."
"Blessed to have such a great team around me to help me make this happen!!" he tweeted. "For the A #MakeADifference."

Bob Naman is an analytical chemist with almost 30 years in the field, based in Mobile, Alabama.
But the story only starts there.
A few days ago, Naman was sent a sample of water from Cotton Bayou, Alabama.
We have not used dispersant since the capping stack was put on. I believe that was the 15th of July.
But I would tell you, there are no dispersants being used at this time.
More imporantly, Naman told me that he found 2-butoxyethanol in the sample.
Corexit 9527, used in lesser quantities during the earlier days of the spill response, is designated a chronic and acute health hazard by EPA. The 9527 formula contains 2-butoxyethanol, pinpointed as the cause of lingering health problems experienced by cleanup workers after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, and propylene glycol, a commonly used solvent.
Corexit 9500, described by [Nalco's spokesman] as the "sole product" Nalco has manufactured for the Gulf since late April, contains propylene glycol and light petroleum distillates, a type of chemical refined from crude oil.
Moreover, Naman said that he searched for the main ingredient in the less toxic 9500 version - propylene glycol - but there was none present. In other words, Naman found the most toxic ingredient in 9527 and did not find the chemical marker for 9500.
(2) The dispersant isn't breaking down nearly as quickly as hoped, and the more toxic form of Corexit used long ago is still present in the Gulf.
Naman told me he used EPA-approved methods for testing the sample, but that a toxicologist working for BP is questioning everything he is doing, and trying to intimidate Naman by saying that he's been asked to look into who Naman is working with.
I asked Naman if he could rule out the second possibility: that the 2-butoxyethanol he found was from a months-old applications of the more toxic version of Corexit. I assumed that he would say that, as a chemist, he could not rule out that possibility.
(The A version of the dispersant - 9527A - contains 2-butoxyethanol).
Naman further said he saw mercenaries dressed in all black fatigues, using gps coordinates, applying Corexit 9527 at Dauphin Island and at Bayou La Batre, Alabama. The mercenaries were "Blackwater"-type mercenaries, and Naman assumed they must have been hired either by BP or the government.
Naman also told me that Corexit 9527 is being sprayed at night, and that it is being applied in such a haphazard manner that undiluted 9527 is running onto beach sand. For confirmation of many of Naman's claims, see this, this and this.

Q: Ruby / Date Parse Hour How do I time parse these strings below:
01
02
03

So that I can use strftime('%I %p') to make it into:
01 AM
02 AM
03 AM

A: require 'date'
DateTime.strptime('01', '%H').strftime('%0l %p')
=> "01 AM"

That said, if the string is already '01' why not just stick an AM or PM on it? Can just use to_i to determine if it's before/after noon.

This piece clearly characterized the old world. Now revitalized with a clean basic cotton, it gives this recovered settee a second chance for a new generation. This fitting design works in almost any room, adding a bit of charm and personality. The frame, once in a dark wood, is now light color and inviting. It was found in a second hand shop and many people had past it up I'm sure. Most likely they wouldn't have, if they knew what our client from Kensington MD had in mind.
