An Ohio woman, who hit and killed a young girl with her car, has received a bizarre jail sentence almost as off-putting as the crash itself. Gloria Bartek, 77, drove straight through a church parking lot and busy road before hitting and killing 8-year-old Khloe Nida, who was bringing milk to her grandparents . Bartek pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge of negligent vehicular homicide. The sentence, delivered Monday, mandates Bartek serve three days in jail every year for five years, on the anniversary of Khloe's death, the Berea Municipal Court confirmed to The News. Additionally, Bartek's license is suspended for five years, and the judge tacked on a $500 fine, plus probation. At most, she faced six months jail time and a $1,000 fine. Judge Mark Comstock said he took all sides of the case into consideration. The circumstances surrounding the case remain baffling as Bartek's car had no mechanical issues and she had reportedly never gotten a ticket before. Bartek flummoxed the court when she didn't apologize, even after claiming, "I understand what the family's going through." Her lawyer refused to let her tell a local Fox I-Team how the accident happened or explain the decision not to apologize. Police footage, just released to the Fox station, shows authorities arriving to the scene as witnesses directed them to Khloe. A firetruck and ambulance headed to the scene as well. Khloe's family is represented by lawyer W. Craig Bashein in their pursuit of a civil lawsuit, which he said will give them the "right to question and cross examine the defendant … and get some answers." Speaking to The News, Bashein called Bartek's lack of remorse and accountability "incomprehensible" and "striking." "There's a number of issues that don't make sense," Bashein said, citing Bartek's odd decisions: to not use the brakes as her car neared Khloe, to "[steer] toward a family and a group of people," and then never even honking to warn Khloe. The Brook Park Police did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


Wednesday's mandatory minicamp session kicked off with a press conference from Lions head coach Matt Patricia in the Tom Kowalski media center in Allen Park. A relaxed and engaged Patricia handled a couple of questions and then got one he really sunk his teeth into. Patricia is known to give some lengthy answers. He clearly enjoys talking about the fine-print details of football, and it shows in his extended answer to a follow-up question about the team's emphasis on practicing specific 3rd-and-long situations in Tuesday's minicamp session. "The No. 1 thing we'll try to teach as we go through the different phases of the game is awareness. What are the different types of plays or areas of the field that are attacked in these situations? So generally it's a big awareness thing. It'll always go back to the fundamental skillsets that are needed in that down-and-distance or that particular situation and there's a scheme-element too that we'll install, practice and rep and work against each other from an offensive and defensive perspective to evaluate. But really, when we're looking at it, it's a lot of technique work that we have to get down. There's just a difference when the timing of the play is third down, if it's third-and-short versus third-and-longer. What's the marriage of rush and coverage right there? How long does the play take? What's the technique of the players that are in coverage? What's the technique of the guys that are in the rush? The timing of the offensive play affects that. What's the rhythm of the quarterback? What's the rhythm of the route? What are the different plays? There will be a lot of conversation here throughout the league - popular plays in shorter down-and-distances, with third downs being a lot of picks and rubs, then you can get into some different avenues there. There's just so much coaching that's involved. The same is true in the longer situations. They all have little different points of emphasis that regardless of the play or the scheme, that need to be understood before you really master the situation." This is not a patronizing answer or an intentional filibuster to eat up question time. Patricia is providing an earnest response to a good question. It's a peek into his thought process and his pride in his own preparation, the detail in which he analyzes the game of football and how it applies to his Lions team.

Valentine's Day nail art does not always have to include hearts painted all over your nails. This decorative take on a moon manicure dresses up your nails with another Valentine's Day motif: the doily. This lacy design seems more complicated than it really is, but all you need is one romantic nail polish shade, a bottle of white lacquer, and a bobby pin. First, paint your nails the base color. Use Chanel Le Vernis in Rose Exuberante ($27) for a vibrant pink that keeps the look from getting too dainty. After you've applied two coats, use the white polish to create a moon shape at the base of your nail. I used CoverGirl Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Snow Storm ($4). You don't have to worry about making the perfect shape because the next step is to add the scalloped edges of the doily. Using the bobby pin, dab the ball tip into the white polish, and then create the white doily shape. Remove the white polish from the bobby pin with remover, dab the tip into the pink polish, and add the pink dots along the scalloped edges. The final look creates a pretty lace-like accent on your nails.


Many brides want to drop a few pounds before their wedding day, or at least stay the same size for their dress's sake. If Shedding For the Wedding Has You Worried That Your Dress Won't Fit, Read This Many brides want to drop a few pounds before their wedding day , or at least stay the same size for their dress's sake. But, what happens if you lose too much weight ? It's easy to do - and not just because you're hitting the gym too hard or cutting too many calories. While chronic, long-term stress can cause you to gain weight, pre-wedding jitters can do the opposite. "When you're under acute stress and feeling anxious, the release of adrenaline elevates your heart rate and blood pressure, increasing your metabolic rate and suppressing your appetite," Robert Glatter , MD, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Northwell Health and attending emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital, told POPSUGAR. "It's the fight or flight response that makes you prepare for a perceived threat or danger, suppressing your appetite in the short-term." You may also just not be taking very good care of yourself, explained Maggie Michalczyk , MS, RD. Eating a healthy meal can quickly take a backseat when you're busy running errands and tying up loose ends. What should you do if you find yourself tipping the scale in the wrong direction? Click through the slideshow above for tips. Cut Back on Your Workouts First things first, chill on those grueling workouts. This is a good time to try a low-key activity like yoga , Meredith Fritz, CPT, an interval instructor and general manager at Studio Three in Chicago, told POPSUGAR. Light exercise can help reduce stress, and you'll burn fewer calories in a yoga or Pilates class than you would doing HIIT or going for a run. You don't need to stop working out entirely. Just dial down the intensity. Plan Meals in Advance Whether you're busy or simply feel too anxious to eat, skipping meals can put you in a calorie deficit, which will cause you to lose weight. That's why it's important to plan your meals and carve out some time to meal prep before each week begins, Maggie said. Abandoning healthy eating habits in favor of eating whatever you want can cause you to gain too much weight, though. Instead, focus on gradually and carefully increasing your calorie intake, filling your plate with lean proteins, veggies, and healthy fats. Be sure to stock up on healthy snacks, too. Stay in Tune With Your Body "I recommend taking an inventory of how you're feeling each day, whether you write in a journal or practice meditation, or do any other method that works for you," Meredith said. Take five to 10 minutes to gauge how your body feels and how you're doing emotionally, and remind yourself to stay present, even as you prepare for your wedding , in order to remain calm and focused on your goals. Fix the Dress If your dress isn't fitting as well as it once did, your seamstress can help. Make your concerns known, and discuss a timeline for fittings that works for both of you. You should aim to have your last dress fitting as close to your wedding as possible, and you might even ask if someone will be available the day of in case there's a problem. Knowing exactly what to expect can put your mind at ease and help you feel more confident leading up to the big day.


ST. LOUIS (AP) Large crowds are gathering in downtown St. Louis despite heavy rain, awaiting a parade and rally to honor the Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues. The Blues beat the Boston Bruins 4-1 Wednesday in Game 7 to win their first championship. The Blues joined the NHL as an expansion team in 1967 and made it to the Stanley Cup Final in each of the team's first three seasons, without winning a game. The team hadn't been back until this year. Fans began lining the streets hours before the parade, despite the rain. The parade will travel down Market Street to the Gateway Arch for a rally. The last time St. Louis celebrated a major championship was when the Cardinals won the 2011 World Series.

I do have some separation anxiety, so I would most likely be better in a home where people are not gone for long periods of time. I can be a little jealous and possessive of my home and people, so I would prefer to be in a home where I am the only dog (and no young kids). My family says that I can be quite cuddly and a real snuggle bug at home when I am not worried about other dog(s) in the house. Read more about how to adopt Smokey on Petfinder .

The Diamondbacks, who blew a late lead in Miami last night to drop back even at 52-52, are reportedly "focused intently" on selling, per Fox Sports' Jon Morosi , who lists Zack Greinke , Robbie Ray , David Peralta , Archie Bradley , Andrew Chafin , Greg Holland , and Jarrod Dyson as names on the proverbial table. It's a bit of surprise revelation for the in-the-thick-of-it Snakes, whose +63 run differential is second only to the Cubs among legitimate NL Wild Card contenders. Arizona would need to jump four teams to find itself in the second Wild Card slot   including the 53-51 Giants, who've all but announced their intention to make the buyer's plunge in the coming days   but one could easily envision the club slithering in with a late-season surge. Still, it may be high time to cash in on the team's best assets: righty Zack Greinke, who's still owed over $90M (including signing-bonus deferrals) on his record-setting deal, is on pace to match or eclipse all but his lights-out 2009 campaign. The 35-year-old's microscopic 1.15 walk rate is the lowest of his career, and he hasn't yet been sliced of his once-sharp cheddar, with an average fastball velocity that still hovers barely above the 90 MPH plateau. The club would need to pay down a significant portion of the contract, but high-upside returns may be dangled if the team finds itself amenable. Lefty Robbie Ray, who hits arbitration for the final time next season at what'll surely be a below-market rate, is still conducting his high-walk, high-homer, massively-high-strikeout train in '19, and would be a good fit for any number of contenders   Yankees, A's, Giants   with strong bullpens and weak rotations. David Peralta's value has perhaps been overstated in some circles   he's an aging corner bat who's nearly unplayable against lefties, but should net a decent return from a team in need of mid-order lefty thump. Fellow outfielder Jarrod Dyson may be coveted for his late-inning skills   top-scale defense, pinch-runner extraordinaire   but likely won't return a high-upside piece. The rest of the pieces won't be coveted league-wide, but the Snakes could trim an estimated $26-30M off next season's payroll by trading all but Greinke from the group. Add Zack, of course, and the team could position themselves at the fore of the offseason free agent market.


West Bromwich Albion face a huge local derby when they travel to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon in the first leg of their Championship playoff semi-final. In their first season since finishing bottom of the Premier League, the Baggies have finished fourth, with only champions Norwich scoring more goals over the campaign. Their decision to sack Darren Moore in February was met with widespread bewilderment, but caretaker boss Jimmy Shan has done an admirable job of guiding the Black Country club to the playoffs, although he will be desperate to improve their recent away record of four defeats in six. However, Shan's side will be confident heading into the game, having already won 2-0 at Villa Park in February. Goalkeepers & Defenders Sam Johnstone (GK) - The former Villa shot stopper is one of the most reliable keepers in the Championship , and his distribution has ignited many a promising counter-attack for the Baggies this season. Mason Holgate (RWB) - Since joining from Everton on loan in January, Holgate has been an excellent addition to a sometimes shaky West Brom back line, and will prove an extremely tough test for whoever the Villa left winger may be. Craig Dawson (CB) - The 29-year-old has been at the Hawthorns since 2010, and is still quick enough to cover any gaps that need plugging. Kyle Bartley (CB) - Excellent with the ball at his feet, Bartley is a commanding presence in West Brom's back three, having made 28 league appearances in his debut season at the club. Ahmed Hegazi (CB) - Has settled nicely into the back line since his arrival last January, and is another big defender to give the likes of Tammy Abraham a very difficult afternoon. Kieran Gibbs (LB) - The former England and Arsenal full-back is now 29 years old, and will want to be playing Premier League football again the near future. His forward thinking and crossing ability will be a danger for the Villa back four throughout the clash. Midfielders Chris Brunt (CM) - The 34-year-old club captain will bring some much needed experience to the team, and will surely be relishing the opportunity to mark, and maybe even kick Jack Grealish out of the game. Should start ahead of the promising 19-year-old Rakeem Harper due to the sheer magnitude of the tie. Stefan Johansen (CM) - Has played an important role in the midfield since his arrival from Fulham on the January transfer window's final day, and has claimed two goals and three assists in his 12 appearances for West Brom as well as tidying up defensively. Forwards Jacob Murphy (RW) - His West Brom stint has quite taken off as well as many would have hoped for, but is still an extremely useful weapon to exploit a potential weak spot on Villa's left side. Dwight Gayle (ST) - Everyone knew that West Brom meant business when they signed Dwight Gayle from Newcastle in the summer, and he hasn't let them down. Only three men have scored more than Gayle this season, who has 23 strikes to his name. One of the quickest and deadliest finishers in the league who his opponents will do very well to stop on Saturday. Jay Rodriguez (LW) - Many were surprised that Rodriguez stayed with the Baggies following their relegation, but he has been nearly as prolific as Gayle while playing the majority of the season on the wing. The 29-year-old will be desperate to add to his two goals he's already scored against the Villans this season.

The dynamic in an NFL locker room and in an NFL facility when it comes to a veteran quarterback looking to keep his job, and a young upstart quarterback looking to take it over time, is a very interesting and fragile one. Brett Favre famously wouldn't lift a finger to help Aaron Rodgers when Rodgers became Favre's three-year understudy in Green Bay. On the other hand, both in San Francisco and Kansas City, Alex Smith had no trouble mentoring Colin Kaepernick and Patrick Mahomes, knowing full well that the long-term plan was for Smith to be replaced in each case by the athletically superior option. Some quarterbacks, especially those on the wrong side of their careers, are far less interested and able to help younger players at their position along. Apparently, new Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco, acquired from the Ravens in an offseason trade, is one of them. When asked this week whether he would help second-round pick Drew Lock through his development, Flacco was reluctant at best, per James Palmer of NFL Network. Joe Flacco addressed the media for the first time since the Broncos drafted Drew Lock. Attached are his responses to questions if it's his job to mentor Lock. "I hope he does develop. But I don't look at that as my job. My job is to go win football games for this football team." pic.twitter.com/Sw8bKdEOzW - James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) May 13, 2019 Flacco is right in that the offensive coaching staff, led by new offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, is primarily responsible for bring Lock along to the point where he can be a plus-level NFL starter. But there are things that quarterbacks can teach other quarterbacks that only they will know - especially when both quarterbacks have a similar ability to make plays downfield in an offense designed for that. Flacco's feelings about this may be tied to the way things ended for him in Baltimore, where he lost his starting job to rookie Lamar Jackson because of injury and ineffectiveness. And Flacco - who hasn't ranked in the top 10 in Football Outsiders' opponent-adjusted quarterback efficiency metrics since 2014 - might have a legitimate worry that if Lock comes along too quickly, the Broncos could see their way to making a similar decision. Whether Flacco is a top-level quarterback at this point in his career or not - and I think we can agree that at this point in his career, he's not - does he have an obligation to his team to help his understudy along? Perhaps he doesn't from a contractual standpoint, but if you talk to people about Alex Smith wherever he's started, there's a different level of respect precisely because Smith was always available to help those under him on the depth chart, even at the expense of his own future. "What he did for him you can't pay back with money," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Smith's work with Mahomes in 2017, per John Feinstein's book " Quarterback: Inside the Most Important Position in the National Football League ." "He helped him with things in ways that a coach simply can't do. There was complete trust from pupil to mentor. Knowing Alex, I wouldn't have expected anything different." "What it did was make me aware that the window was starting to close," Smith concluded after the Chiefs moved up to take Mahomes out of Texas Tech with the 10 th overall pick in the 2017 draft. "It didn't represent any sort of change of life for me at that moment. If they hadn't drafted someone, my future would have still depended on whether I played well or not. If I played well, I'd have a job. If I didn't play well, I wouldn't have a job. The only difference really was an understanding that if I played well, I'd still have a job, but there was no guarantee that it would be in Kansas City." It didn't work out for Smith in Kansas City, but he did play well for the Redskins in 2018 after a trade there allowed him to continue his career - at least until he suffered a broken leg that could threaten that career. That random event was unfortunate, but the larger point is that Smith was able to improve as a quarterback while still helping others at his position on his team. For Flacco to shut that option down may be correct, but it's correct in the same way that it is for anyone who shows up at work content to only do what is demanded of them. Flacco could have more of a lasting effect on his new team were he inclined to give the benefit of his experience as only he can. Or, perhaps that avenue is open to certain kinds of professionals.

Megan Rapinoe has been stunningly left out of the United States' starting lineup ahead of the World Cup semi-final clash with England in Lyon. The 33-year-old has been one of the stars of this summer's tournament, helping USWNT to victory in every one of their World Cup games so far - scoring a crucial brace in the quarter-final as hosts France were eliminated 2-1 at the Parc des Princes. But in a shocking turn of events that nobody expected, Rapinoe has been axed from the team for the game against Phil Neville's England - with Christen Press bought into the side. There is no word as to whether or not Rapinoe is injured, but her omission will be viewed as a huge blow to USWNT's chances of progressing to yet another World Cup final. She has been in scintillating form throughout the tournament, although off-field controversies have detracted from some of her performances on the field. That, however, is unlikely to be a reason for leaving Rapinoe out - as she, along with Alex Morgan, are viewed as an integral members of Jill Ellis' side. USA bring in Horan for Mewis and Press for Rapinoe. Absolute shock in the press box at Rapinoe news. #FIFAWWC   Rich Laverty (@RichJLaverty) July 2, 2019 The USWNT boss has also opted to omit the impressive Sam Mewis in midfield, with Lindsey Horan restored to the starting lineup after watching on from the sidelines for the past couple of matches. England, meanwhile, are without first choice goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, after she picked up a hamstring injury in training. Carly Telford replaces her in goal, while there are also starts for Rachel Daly and Beth Mead in midfield. Related slideshow: Best of the Women's World Cup (Provided by imagn)


With the offseason in full swing and not much to debate until OTAs and minicamps kick off later this spring, it's time for lists and rankings to take center stage. In NFL.com's latest attempt, columnist Adam Schein put together his ranking of the league's nine most-complete teams. The Seahawks didn't even make it on the list. The Chargers, Rams and even the Browns crept into the top three, and while Schein was careful to mention his piece was not a look at power rankings or playoff predictions, he did feel the need to explain the snubbing of a couple of clubs, Seattle included.

"Neither are the Seahawks, even though I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner and Co. do damage in 2019." Schein said the 49ers, Eagles and Vikings were also under consideration but each team came up short. Interestingly enough, the Patriots were the final club to make the list, landing at No. 9. The Seahawks play best with chips on their shoulders, so thank Schein later if Seattle rises to the occasion.

If you're a Packers fan looking for a truly unique piece of memorabilia, you're in luck. Via the Green Bay Press Gazette , the first house purchased by legendary coach Vince Lombardi in Green Bay has landed on the market . The listing price for the 4,395-square-foot home? $599,900. The house last changed hands in 2014, for $475,000. Lombardi moved in to the house in 1959, living there for roughly a year. He would lead the Packers to five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowl wins, with the league's ultimate annual prize forever named for him.


Worth nearly $1 million today, the creator of VinWiki almost bought an impounded Carrera GT for a fraction of its value. We've all been in that situation where you hear about a deal on a car that sounds too good to be true. Well, this story told by VinWiki might just take the biscuit when you hear about the Porsche Carrera GT that could have been bought for just $3,000. That's right, a near million dollar car for a fraction of the cost. So what's the deal? Are we talking about a trashed Carrera GT that's nothing but ash, or a Toyota MR2 in a bodykit? The truth is that the car in question is a real low mileage Porsche supercar, but of course there's a catch…. More on Porsche - Top 10 Porsche To Buy Before It's Too Late - Why The 991 Porsche 911 Carrera T Is More Collectable Than A GT3 VinWiki creator Ed Bolian was given a tip about a handful of exotic cars that were impounded in Brazil, with the owner serving serious time for money laundering. Importing cars into Brazil is perfectly legal, but the automobile needs to be of current model year and pay its appropriate taxes. Even back in 2008/2009, this Carrera GT and company would not have complied with the rules. Their owner attempted to disguise them with wrapping typically found on new cars, but got busted and the exotics have been in an impound ever since. Ed, being the canny individual he is, did some digging and found that these cars could be obtained for the cost of their impound fee   a few thousand dollars. Obviously after sitting for years, the Porsche would need some serious work, but considering good examples have sold for upwards of $900K last year, even a $100,000 repair bill would be worthwhile. However, he would somehow need to bring it back stateside without access to their titles. Sadly, it was this final hurdle that had Ed stumped. There were a few options, including dismantling the car and shipping it as parts, but ultimately things started to stray into legal grey areas. He ends the video saying 'I guess at this point it's up to one of you guys.' Ed might not have a Carrera GT in his garage, but he does have this fascinating story. Source: YouTube


Team Penske-Chevrolet's championship leader Josef Newgarden topped the half-hour session for today's Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, teams started the session practicing pitstops, and then checked out fuel mileage and tire durability. Newgarden, who will start today's race from third on the grid, headed the alternate tire-shod Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda of Felix Rosenqvist by a quarter-second with Colton Herta 35 thousandths behind in third for Harding Steinbrenner Racing-Honda. After a disappointing qualifying session, Spencer Pigot resumed his otherwise impressive form at the 2.258-mile road course by clocking fourth fastest ahead of Andretti Autosport's front-row starter Alexander Rossi and the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan Honda of Sebastien Bourdais. Takuma Sato was seventh fastest on the alternate compound tires for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing-Honda, with Meyer Shank Racing with Arrow SPM's Jack Harvey setting his best time   11 th fastest   on primary tires, despite running the alternates in the first part of the session. Polesitter Will Power completed 20 laps but was only 19 th on the speed charts. The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio is set to start at 4pm local (Eastern) time.

We'll continue our evening trip around the summer starting pitching market in San Francisco, where top rental rotation piece Madison Bumgarner resides. Earlier today, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic ( subscription link ) updated the market for the burly southpaw, cataloging a variety of suitors. The Astros, Braves and Brewers are newly added entrants to the mix, joining the already reported Twins and Yankees . We've certainly seen many or all of these teams cited as possibilities   among others, as MLBTR's Connor Byrne explored a month back   but this is the clearest indication yet of the kind of competition that could be developing. With all due respect, there are limits to Bumgarner's appeal, as Rosenthal explores. We've hashed out many of the pluses and minuses of late; suffice to say that there are good reasons to think the long-time star still has some gas in the tank, but there's no real reason to believe he's the stud he once was. Beyond that, there are also some clear alternatives floating around who will also draw attention from contenders. On the rental side, the Mets' Zack Wheeler ( latest rumors ) has emerged as a younger, lower-salaried, and arguably higher-upside possibility. Teams that prefer future control could look to Marcus Stroman ( latest rumors ), Matt Boyd ( latest rumors ), and perhaps even Trevor Bauer ( latest rumors ). Bumgarner's no-trade rights could certainly play into the equation here, as he'll have the ability to block deals to most of the interested teams. As Rosenthal originally reported a few months back, the savvy veteran put his eight-team list to full use by naming a host of clear contenders (Braves, Red Sox, Cubs, Astros, Brewers, Yankees, Phillies, Cardinals). As Rosenthal rightly notes today, there's also not much reason to think that MadBum would decline to facilitate a move. Beyond the obvious appeal of another shot at postseason glory after a few seasons away, the 29-year-old stands to shed the qualifying offer entering free agency. The qualifying offer issue might not seem like a major factor for a player of Bumgarner's stature, but the recent experience of Dallas Keuchel shows it's still of real importance. Even though he placed fourth on the latest free-agent power ranking from MLBTR's Tim Dierkes , just edging Wheeler, Bumgarner still faces plenty of variability in his ultimate earning power. Even though Bumgarner left his last start with an elbow contusion , it seems he escaped a worrisome injury. There'll be plenty of time still in the run-up to the deadline for Bumgarner to show off his form to interested clubs, including those listed above.


The rookie out of @AlabamaFTBL … @5mackwilson1 40-yard PICK-6! #WASvsCLE pic.twitter.com/PqBBEgjAxB - NFL (@NFL) August 9, 2019 It was bound to happen at some point. Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins got a bit greedy in his second career drive on Thursday night, trying to float a wheel-route down the sideline. Instead of a completion, the pass was picked off and ran back 40 yards for a Cleveland touchdown. In his first drive of the game, Haskins was impressive, with completions of 27 and 34 yards, respectively. What is important to see is how Haskins and the Washington offense bounces back the next trip down. Rookie mistakes will happen, but you have to grow from them to succeed.

Seventy-five years after ballplayer turned spy Moe Berg dropped behind enemy lines, a new documentary illuminates the WWII service of "Mysterious Moe" Morris "Moe" Berg spent 15 years playing major league baseball. His record on the field was middling, but Berg was distinguished by his pursuits off it - namely, his time as a US spy during World War II. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories . Morris "Moe" Berg's dying words - "How did the Mets do today?" - were on brand for the 70-year-old New York native who enjoyed a 15-year career in Major League Baseball before America entered World War II. Sports columnist John Kieran called Berg "The Professor" on account of his reputation as an Ivy League-educated linguist and lawyer, a mentor and coach to younger MLB players, and a newspaper-devouring raconteur who earned fanfare as a repeat contestant on the NBC radio quiz show "Information Please." His 1972 New York Times obituary eulogized, first and foremost, the "catcher in majors who spoke 10 languages." But the brainy 6-foot-1-inch bullpen catcher with an unspectacular batting average had another career entirely: He was a World War II secret agent who gathered intelligence on three continents for the US government. "We often think about athletes just playing ball and going in for records. But Moe, Ted Williams twice, Joe DiMaggio - they went off and risked their lives and their careers to serve," said filmmaker Aviva Kempner, who illuminates Berg's life and legacy in her 2019 documentary, " The Spy Behind Home Plate ." Berg's particular line of work during the war - he ultimately served as a spy for the Manhattan Project while working for the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA - further differentiated him. Who else would sit in the dugout talking about whether Mussolini would win or not?" Kempner said. As the surviving members of the Greatest Generation dwindle and tensions rise among 21st-century nuclear-armed powers, Kempner emphasizes the need to learn about veterans and remember their contributions and sacrifices. "It's important to know who our unknown heroes are and what they did," she said. Here's a window into Berg's life and transition from multilingual ballplayer to World War II nuclear spy. He was the son of immigrants. Moe Berg was born in Harlem in 1902. He was the third child of Bernard Berg and Rose Taschker, Jewish immigrants from Ukraine, who came to the US seeking economic opportunity and religious freedom. The Bergs moved to Newark, New Jersey, where Bernard opened a pharmacy. Education was paramount, and Bernard in particular expected his kids to pursue one of three professions: lawyer, doctor, or teacher. From his early days, Moe had a rocket arm and a photographic memory. As a 7-year-old, he played baseball on a church team using the pseudonym "Runt Wolfe." He excelled on the field and in the classroom, initially studying at New York University. He transferred to Princeton University, where he was a star on the baseball team and in the modern languages department. The popular, idiosyncratic scholar-athlete turned down an offer to join one of Princeton's exclusive eating clubs, purportedly after being told that while he'd be more than welcome, he shouldn't think of bringing other Jews around. He spent off-seasons studying law at Columbia University and traveling the world. After Berg graduated college, the Brooklyn Robins (now the Los Angeles Dodgers) and the New York Giants were interested in recruiting him, in part because they thought he'd help draw the city's relatively large Jewish population. He joined the Robins and played in the minor leagues. His technical skills and lack of offensive power inspired the phrase "good field, no hit." He went on to play for the Chicago White Sox. At the time, major leaguers worked in the spring and summer and were off the rest of the year. Berg used his baseball earnings to travel. He studied Sanskrit at the Sorbonne in Paris and wrote of how much he enjoyed French "wine, women, and song." Largely to appease his father, Berg also enrolled at Columbia Law School and arrived late to spring training while finishing his first year. The following year, the White Sox owner denied Berg's request to arrive late again, so Berg arranged to leave school early and make up his courses. He'd go on to pass the bar and join the firm Satterlee and Canfield. But baseball was his priority and ultimately how he made his living throughout the 1930s. He said he would rather be a baseball player than a Supreme Court justice. He became a catcher by accident. In 1927, White Sox catcher turned manager Ray Schalk, in a pinch during a game, called out to the bench asking if anyone could catch. Berg tried to volunteer the player next to him. But Schalk thought Berg, a shortstop, was volunteering and put him in without being corrected. "If it doesn't turn out well, please send the body to Newark," Berg reportedly told his teammates. He took to catching. He and his second baseman communicated about the opposing team's base runners in Latin. If the runner trying to steal understood Latin, Berg said they'd switch to Sanskrit. He made two trips to Japan "for baseball" in the 1930s, capturing panoramic footage of Tokyo that is believed to have been used to plan the 1942 Doolittle Raid, the US's first bombing raid on Japan in World War II. With Japan already at war with China, the Japanese government was becoming increasingly militarized. (Japan and China clashed from 1931 to 1932 and again between 1937 and 1945.) Meanwhile, Japanese citizens were growing interested in America's favorite pastime. In 1932, Berg was among a group of major leaguers sent to Tokyo to coach Japanese college players in hitting, base-stealing, and other skills. When the tour ended and Ted Lyons and Lefty O'Doul returned home, Berg stayed, traveling around Asia by himself. He ended his trip in Berlin, and he saw firsthand the beginning of Adolph Hitler's rise to power in Germany, along with then-Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini's fascist influence on the Nazi movement. Back in the US, Berg played on the Washington Senators, frequenting embassy parties in DC, before being dropped and picked up by the Cleveland Indians. In 1934, the Soviet Union briefly invaded China, and with tensions rising in the Pacific, the US sent an all-star roster of American League players on a tour of Japan to compete against Japanese teams in a friendly 18-game series. The players would also serve as goodwill ambassadors, as the All-American Japan Tour was an attempt to bolster Japanese-American relations through a shared interest in baseball. While Berg had set a league record for catching 117 games straight without an error, he didn't have the same hall-of-famer status as other recruits, like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Earl Averil, and Lefty Gomez. But he had been to Japan before, and when catcher Rick Ferrell dropped off the All-Americans roster just before the tour, Berg readily accepted the invitation. He studied Japanese on the deck of the ship during the three-week journey across the Pacific. Upon arriving, Babe Ruth heard Berg greet a fan in Japanese. Ruth said he thought Berg claimed not to know Japanese. Berg said that he hadn't a few weeks before. "Shhh." Berg traveled with a 16 mm Bell and Howell movie camera, seemingly undeterred by leaflets distributed by police warning people not to make maps or capture images, which the Japanese feared could be used against them in war. He also carried an official letter of introduction from US Secretary of State Cordell Hull. On one occasion, Berg peeled off from his teammates and went to the roof of a Tokyo hospital, then the city's tallest building. He wore a Japanese kimono and slippers, and he had flowers and an alibi that he was visiting an ambassador's daughter who'd just had a baby. But he threw out the flowers and ended up on the roof, where he shot a panorama of the Tokyo skyline, including the harbor and industrial centers. The US would later use the shots as reconnaissance footage to inform wartime military strategy and plan bombing raids. How Berg delivered the footage to the US government remains murky. He was known for answering questions about his government work by putting his finger to his lips and saying, "shhh." When pressed on how he'd left the hospital with the movie camera, he supposedly responded, "What made you think I had anything in my kimono other than my big pecs and biceps?" Staying behind After the All-Americans swept the series and Berg's teammates left Japan, Berg stayed for another month. Back in the US, he played for and then helped coach the Boston Red Sox. During World War II, he retired his Red Sox uniform to work for the government. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, killed more than 2,300 Americans and catapulted the US into World War II. Millions of Americans joined up. Before Berg's father died in January 1942, he asked his sons, "Why aren't you contributing to this war?" Berg left the Red Sox to work for the Office of Inter-American Affairs, a government agency President Franklin Roosevelt founded to counter Axis propaganda in Latin America. In February 1942, Berg made a radio broadcast addressing the people of Japan, in Japanese, asking for peace; he identified himself as "a friend of the Japanese people" and urged listeners to avoid "a war you cannot win." That summer, his work took him to Central and South America, ostensibly as an goodwill ambassador distributing baseball gear. He fed reports on the political situation to his boss, Inter-American Affairs Coordinator Nelson Rockefeller. The OSS tapped him as a nuclear spy who carried out acts of espionage and sabotage to thwart Hitler's nuclear program. In the wake of Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt recognized the importance of strong foreign intelligence to the Allied war effort. In 1942, he signed an executive order forming the OSS, a clandestine espionage and sabotage agency directed by Gen. William "Wild Bill" Donovan. Donovan, a Republican, was Roosevelt's Columbia Law classmate and a World War I general turned Wall Street lawyer. As the founding father of America's CIA forerunner, Donovan recruited a diverse cast of military and civilian personnel whom he fondly regarded as his "Glorious Amateurs." At its peak in 1944, the OSS employed some 13,000 men and women, with personnel stationed across the world, working not only as field agents but also as codebreakers, researchers, mapmakers, psychologists, scientists, and propagandists who carried out special operations and information warfare. Berg was recruited to the OSS in 1943. With his unusual aptitude, agility, language skills, and information-gathering experience, Berg became the OSS agent that Donovan designated to support the government's top-secret initiative to develop its first nuclear weapons, codenamed the Manhattan Project. It was an undertaking so covert that Roosevelt supposedly didn't even tell then-Vice President Harry Truman about it. Leading researchers and scientists, including Albert Einstein, briefed Berg, teaching him what they hoped would be sufficient background on atomic energy and their adversaries' efforts so Berg could collect vital information and assets from occupied Europe. In 1944, Berg moved throughout war-ravaged Italy to track down important Italian scientists and documents in danger of falling into Hitler's hands. "I see Moe is still catching very well," Roosevelt said after learning Berg had located and extracted Italy's foremost expert in aerodynamics, Antonio Ferri. Ferri had destroyed lab equipment that could help the Axis and gone into hiding in the mountains with a crate of scientific documents. He raised a resistance circuit carrying out guerilla operations to thwart the Axis and enable Allied air drops. Berg and Ferri connected and began parsing and translating the scientific documents. With special permission from Roosevelt, Ferri entered the US with a suitcase and the crate of documents and was escorted to the nation's leading aeronautics research center, in Langley, Virginia. As Manhattan Project scientists raced to develop the atomic bombs that America would drop on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, its leaders remained concerned with where Hitler stood with any similar efforts. If the Axis powers were making progress, it would likely involve German nuclear physicist Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel Prize winner who remained in Germany during the war. In December 1944, Berg was sent to neutral Switzerland for a conference at the University of Zurich with a pistol, a cyanide tablet, and a false identity as a Swiss physics student. His mission was to attend an intimate lecture that Heisenberg was giving at the conference. If Heisenberg mentioned working on a nuclear bomb, Berg was to stand up and shoot Heisenberg point blank, with the understanding that this would also mean being killed himself. Between the German language and the deeply technical physics terminology, Berg left the lecture unsure of what Heisenberg knew. He ended up complimenting Heisenberg on his talk and later insisting on escorting him to his hotel. In the resulting report, which was read by Roosevelt, Berg determined that Heisenberg had low confidence in the German effort and that Hitler was at least two years behind the Manhattan Project. Berg died in Belleville, New Jersey, in 1972 at the age of 70, after a fall at his home. In 2018, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi awarded a Congressional Gold Medal to OSS personnel. The presentation of Congress's highest civilian honor marked the first collective recognition of the OSS, which President Harry Truman disbanded in 1945. Truman formed the CIA in 1947 from the old OSS headquarters. While Donovan was not employed by America's post-war intelligence organization, many of his "Glorious Amateurs" were, and four would go on to hold the agency's top post. A bronze statue of Donovan - and an OSS book of honor naming the 116 OSS members who were killed during World War II - are on display in the lobby of the CIA's current headquarters in Langley. Berg declined the Medal of Freedom in 1946. He never married or had children. He led a nomadic existence, traveling and, in his later years, living with his sister, Ethel, in New Jersey. Ethel Berg accepted his Medal of Honor after his death and donated it to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown New York, where it is on display, along with his catcher's mitt and passport. Ethel took Berg's ashes to Israel, but to this day, no one knows where his remains are buried.


Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has a bunch of new faces on his squad this season. One of his biggest challenges will be deciding which of the many wide receivers have earned spots on the roster. Schottenheimer was asked about the competition following the team's OTA on Tuesday and one player really stood out. "Jaron Brown, he's not a young guy, but wow, talking about just an unbelievable camp, I mean, really stepping up," Schottenheimer volunteered. Originally signed by the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2013, the Seahawks acquired Brown last March. For Seattle, Brown logged 14 receptions for 166 yards and five touchdowns in 2018. His veteran presence was felt on the field. "Jaron Brown is a guy we all have a lot of respect for," Schottenheimer continued. "He never questioned one thing we tried to do with him last year. He did the heavy lifting, a lot of the blocking responsibilities and things like that. He certainly stepped up in that regard." Seattle selected three wide receivers in the draft this season and second-round pick DK Metcalf has been getting most of the attention . Schottenheimer wants to make sure no one overlooks Brown this summer. "Jaron Brown, I just mentioned him earlier, but he did so much of the dirty work for us last year that you kind of forgot," Schottenheimer said. "We kind of forgot that he's a really established receiver and he's looked dynamic out here." MORE: Heavyweight champ Andy Ruiz hits back at Stephen A.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP)   The cruise ship captain suspected of responsibility in a deadly collision on the Danube River in Hungary is under arrest again. A Budapest court on Wednesday ordered his arrest until Aug. 31. The 64-year-old Ukrainian captain had been released on bail on June 13, but prosecutors have requested his re-arrest because of the risk that he could flee or impede the investigation. Twenty-six South Korean tourists and two Hungarian crew members died when their sightseeing boat crashed with the cruise ship and sank May 29 in Budapest. Only seven tourists survived and the remains of a South Korean woman are still missing. Prosecutors were able to refile their arrest request after the Kuria, Hungary's supreme court, ruled Monday that decisions by lower courts granting bail to the captain were unlawful.

The Hyde amendment was first passed in 1976 by a Democratic-controlled Congress and signed into law by a Democratic president (Jimmy Carter), but the last two Democratic presidents who opposed the Hyde amendment (Bill Clinton and Barack Obama) did weaken the law governing taxpayer-funding of abortion. They did not repeal the Hyde amendment for a simple reason: They didn't have the votes, despite strong Democratic congressional majorities. The House, in 1993, strongly supported the Hyde amendment once exceptions for the cases of rape and incest were added. In 2009, 64 House Democrats voted for a measure to block taxpayer subsidies for Obamacare plans that cover elective abortion. (Obamacare ultimately became law with weaker language   taxpayer-subsidized plans would cover elective abortion unless a state outlawed abortion coverage . But Obamacare only passed with the support of self-described pro-life Democrats who pretended it didn't expand taxpayer subsidies for abortion, and President Obama signed a meaningless executive order affirming that the Hyde amendment would still apply to Medicaid.) But if Democrats gain control of Congress in 2021, they would very likely have majorities who oppose the Hyde amendment. In 2017, when the House voted to make the Hyde amendment permanent and apply it to Obamacare, only three Democrats supported it. When the Senate voted on that measure in January 2019 , two Democrats voted for it (Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania), but two Republicans voted against it (Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska). Even so, Scher argues, "if Democrats won a slim majority in the chamber, and that slim majority voted to junk the legislative filibuster (two very big 'ifs'), with polls indicating weak support for public funding of abortions, enough purple state Democrats may refuse to go along." Now we get to the real issue. Would Senate Democrats kill the legislative filibuster or not? Scher is dubious, but it seems fairly likely if an energized Democratic party takes over Congress and finds out it can't accomplish much. And even if the Senate doesn't repeal the filibuster, could Senate Democrats still find a way to effectively fund abortion with a simple majority under budget reconciliation rules? The only person who knows the answer for sure is the Senate parliamentarian. And if all it takes is a simple majority to kill the Hyde amendment, who are these purple-state Democrats who would save it? Where were they in January when the Senate blocked a bill making the Hyde amendment permanent? Is Tim Kaine, who tied himself in knots on the issue as Hillary Clinton's running-mate, really going to be the decisive vote to save the Hyde amendment? Color me skeptical. Elected Democrats, unlike Democratic voters, have become almost uniformly supportive of taxpayer-funding of abortion. The fact that the Hyde amendment has survived Democratic congresses for the last four decades is no indication of what would happen the next time Democrats gain complete control of government. The Hyde amendment is in real peril like never before.


If there's one thing that we learned from Saturday's Philadelphia Phillies-New York Mets game, it's that Jake Arrieta wants Todd Frazier's fade. The two players had a dust-up during the fifth inning of the contest when Arrieta plunked Frazier with a changeup. The third baseman responded by chirping at Arrieta and was ejected as a result. Tension rising in New York. Todd Frazier was hit by a Jake Arrieta pitch, and then ejected a few seconds later after he exchanged some words with Arrieta and umpires. pic.twitter.com/6ht8SLYk2r   FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) July 7, 2019 Arrieta then hit Amed Rosario with a pitch two batters later as well, but was not ejected despite both benches getting warned after the Frazier plunking. Mets manager Mickey Callaway was ejected. however, when he came roaring out of the dugout following the Rosario HBP. The Mets would go on to win the game 6-5 though, and Arrieta took the loss with five earned runs allowed in 4.1 innings of work. Afterwards, the former Cy Young winner was not pleased and threatened to "put a dent in [Frazier's] skull," per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Jake Arrieta was frustrated. He hinted at a physical issue but would not elaborate. He was mad at Todd Frazier, too. "He can come see me," he said. "I'll put a dent in his skull."   Matt Gelb (@MattGelb) July 7, 2019 The next series that the NL East rivals will play against each other comes at the end of August. Arrieta has had similar beef with other teams in the past , so we will see what exactly comes of his threat here.


One week after Kyoji Horiguchi made his case for being one of the best fighters on the planet by adding the Bellator bantamweight title to his collection, another Bellator MMA champion returns to action, reigniting the discussion to determine the best middleweight in the world. Saturday at The SSE Arena in London, Gegard Mousasi puts his middleweight title on the line against undefeated challenger Rafael Lovato Jr. in the main event of Bellator London. It's his second defense of the title he won 13 months earlier in the same venue and his fourth appearance inside the Bellator cage since exiting the UFC and reuniting with Scott Coker, whom he fought for during his time at the helm of Strikeforce. Join DAZN and watch Bellator London on June 22 Traditionally, attempting to insert a Bellator titleholder into the conversation as the best in his or her respective division was met with scoffs and eye rolls, but the times are changing. Horiguchi has to be considered one of the top flyweights and bantamweights on the planet given his incredible run of success and current "Double Champ" Patricio Freire stands as one of the top featherweights in the sport without question. Welterweight champ Rory MacDonald remains one of the best in the 170-pound weight class despite his tepid performance against Jon Fitch a few months back and then there is Mousasi, who enters Saturday's contest off a savage mauling of MacDonald in their "Champion vs. Champion" showdown last September. The 33-year-old standout has won eight straight overall, adding three consecutive wins since signing with Bellator to the five-pack of winning efforts he piled up before becoming a free agent. When he parted ways with the UFC, Mousasi felt like the logical No. 1 contender in the middleweight division, having just knocked out former champion Chris Weidman at UFC 210 to give him four consecutive finishes inside the Octagon. At the very least, he was part of a troika of top contenders along with Robert Whittaker, who establishing himself as part of the grouping with a second-round stoppage win over Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza a week after Mousasi's victory over Weidman, and Yoel Romero, who pushed his record to 8-0 inside the Octagon with his own knockout win over Weidman five months earlier. He opted to re-sign elsewhere, Whittaker and Romero clashed in an epic battle at UFC 213 for the interim title and two years later, the top of the polls remain congested with Whittaker, interim UFC champion Israel Adesanya, and Mousasi all having a partial claim to being the best 185-pound fighter in the sport right now. While the two men holding UFC gold will square off later this year to determine that promotion's top middleweight, all Mousasi can do is continue posting wins under the Bellator banner and making his case outside of the Octagon and just as the Horiguchi can make a claim for divisional superiority based on holding titles in two organizations and a lengthy run of success that started when he was on the UFC roster, so too can Mousasi. As impressive as Israel Adesanya has been over the last 16 months, "The Last Stylebender" takes home show money in this three-horse race. He could prove to be the best of the bunch by the end of the year if he's able to beat Whittaker. But for right now, six consecutive UFC wins aren't enough to crack the Top 2, even though his championship triumph over Kelvin Gastelum earlier this year remains the clubhouse leader in the Fight of the Year race. That narrows the field down to Mousasi and Whittaker and differentiating between the two isn't an easy task. While the Australian's twin victories over Romero are greater than any victory Mousasi has accrued during his current run of success, his limited activity over the last three years has to be factored in as well. Even though the injuries and illnesses that have sidelined Whittaker at various times during that stretch have either been sustained in the cage or random occurrences that you couldn't foresee, the fact is that it's hard to hold onto top spot when you're unable to defend your position. Part of the reason Adesanya has even an outside case for being considered the top middleweight in the world is because he got a chance to face Gastelum for the interim title after Whittaker's latest issue. In addition to giving the undefeated rising star a place in this discussion, it also strengthens Mousasi's case as well. Whittaker is a perfect 8-0 as a middleweight and over the last three years, he's posted five victories. Mousasi is also 8-0 over his last eight fights, but seven of those victories have come in the last three years, and he has the opportunity to add another notch in the win column on Saturday in London. If both men were contenders in the same division and you were forced to choose who should fight for the title, Whittaker's most recent triumphs have been better, but it's difficult to overlook the totality of what Mousasi has accomplished in the same time. He won the Bellator middleweight belt two weeks before Whittaker edged out Romero in their rematch at UFC 225 in Chicago, then followed it up by battering MacDonald in a highly-anticipated fight that turned ugly in a hurry. With Whittaker's return date still uncertain and Mousasi days away from potentially adding another win to his resume, this feels like a closer race than it has ever been before and if he defends his title in impressive fashion this weekend while handing Lovato Jr. his first career loss, it will be even harder to argue against Mousasi being the top middleweight in the sport. Either Whittaker or Adesanya could claim that mantle with a dominant effort of their own when they clash later this year, but while they're waiting to square off, Mousasi has the opportunity to strengthen his case and claim that title. But here's the most important thing in all of this: even if you don't agree and you feel Whittaker is still deserving of the top spot, the fact that this is even a discussion that has to be had   and it has to be had   is a major win for Bellator MMA. You can't just dismiss Mousasi because he doesn't compete in the UFC because he won five straight inside the Octagon before changing addresses and he's been even more dominant and impressive since doing so. Just like Horiguchi, he's giving fans and critics a lot to think about with each subsequent victory, making everyone wonder where he'd factor into things if he were still competing in the UFC and how to judge a dominant force competing in a different organization. If I have to choose, I'd say Whittaker is the best middleweight in the sport today, but with every additional month he's out of action and every additional blistering effort from Mousasi, I'm forced to rethink that assessment more and more. If he trounces Lovato Jr. in London, it just might become too close to call.


BlackBerry's Classic is a curious bit of fan-service, a seemingly conciliatory blend of old and new designed to appeal to Waterloo's die-hards. It might seem a little odd that the company would choose to go all retro on us smack in the middle of 2014, but there's no denying the formula still has some appeal -- read on for our first impressions. BlackBerry has made much ado about the quality of the Classic hardware, and as far as early impressions go, the company was right on the money. The Classic has the reassuring heft of an honest-to-goodness 6 year old BlackBerry -- before the unrelenting plasticity of the Curves, you had real bricks, and the Classic (perhaps obviously) hearkens back to those hefty halcyon days. That's not to say it's chunky or ungainly in any way, though. You'll find plenty of trimmer smartphones out there, but the Classic's curved, textured back settled into my palm very comfortably (even though it's awfully dull to look at). Speaking of things to look at, the Classic's 3.5-inch screen is pretty pleasant, even if it's far from the most pixel-dense display out there. My terrible eyes still can't pick out individual pixels, and the splashes of color the folks in Waterloo have backed into BlackBerry 10 are bright and lively. Viewing angles seem pretty solid too, though expect plenty more detail on all of this when it comes time for our full review. Chen also confirmed that if the bog-standard black model does well, there are blue and bronze variants that might see the light of day soon. I wasn't fast enough on the draw with my camera, but the metallic bronze finish I spotted while hovering within Chen's personal space wasn't particularly attractive. And then you've got the thing that BlackBerry's really excited about. CEO John Chen admitted that as he traveled the globe proselytizing in the name of BlackBerry, the Classic keyboard got plenty of attention, and rightfully so. Bear in mind, it's been years since I used a BlackBerry as my daily driver (it was a Tour 9630 and I loved it dearly), but it took mere moments for my fingers to readapt to the familiar physical QWERTY layout. The keys, while relatively shallow, offer some satisfying clicks as I fired off test texts to friends who wondered why I had yet another new phone number. In order to get full use out of the keyboard, you'll either have to be a longtime BlackBerry user or be willing to peek through a manual for answers - shortcuts like tapping the T and B keys to jump to the top and bottom of a particular page aren't terribly obvious. I'll wait to pass judgment on the keyboard until I've used it more extensively, but my thumbs aren't complaining so far. Alas, the tool belt -- the cutesy colloquialism for the BlackBerry navigation keys -- is a mixed bag. The physical call pick up and hang up buttons are a welcome re-addition to the mix, as is the conceptually simple Back key. If anything, it's the BlackBerry key that seems the most immediately useful, since tapping it on the homescreen (or holding it within an app) causes the settings shade to drop down. That's just a little less work than swiping down from above the screen with my thumb, and -- lazy as it might sound -- I appreciate it. My real beef lies with the optical trackpad, and perhaps not for the reasons you'd think. It works just fine In most cases, it just didn't make sense for me to use the trackpad over that square touchscreen.


WASHINGTON   Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer is scheduled to pitch Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, a day after breaking his nose during batting practice. Scherzer was injured Tuesday when he took a ball off his face while attempting a bunt. The team says a CT scan was negative. Manager Dave Martinez says Scherzer was "very adamant" about pitching despite a bruise around his right eye. The three-time Cy Young Award winner will pitch the second game of the Nationals' day-night doubleheader. He is 5-5 with a 2.81 ERA this season. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Related slideshow: The 2019 MLB season (Provided by imagn)


Spurs (still) lead the top-three race, somehow Cherries sit 14th, safe from relegation Spurs won 5-0 at Wembley back in December Tottenham Hotspur continue to lead the top-three and -four race that seemingly no one   not even them   wants to win. Yet, Mauricio Pochettino 's side has two more chances to secure Champions League qualification by a very straightforward formula: they need just three points, beginning when they visit 14th-place Bournemouth on Saturday (Watch live, 7:30 a.m. ET, on NBCSN and NBCSports.com ). With Chelsea (68 points) just two points back in fourth and Arsenal (66) trailing by four, it's Tottenham's place to lose. To be certain, they have tried to do so again and again, only to see their London rivals falter immediately thereafter. Take, for instance, last weekend: Spurs lost to West Ham , but Chelsea drew Manchester United and Arsenal were hammered 3-0 by Leicester City . It's been that kind of month for top-six sides not named Manchester City or Liverpool. WATCH LIVE, ONLINE, HERE As for the Cherries, they're long since clear of the relegation zone and have very little left to play for, and it's looked that way in recent outings. Eddie Howe 's men have picked up just nine points from their last 12 games (2W-3D-7L), though they are on something of an upswing with four of the nine points coming in their last three games. Injuries Bournemouth   OUT: Lewis Cook (knee), Junior Stanislas (hamstring), Simon Francis (knee), Charlie Daniels (knee), Andrew Surman (calf), Diego Rico (ankle) | Spurs   OUT: Harry Kane (ankle), Harry Winks (groin), Erik Lamela (hamstring); QUESTIONABLE: Jan Vertonghen (head) What they're saying Howe, on Bournemouth's need for continued progression : "People will use 'established.' I don't know if we have ever used that word. For us, it's not a useful thing to look at, you can then get complacent and lazy," he said at a press conference. "For us it is about having to prove we deserve to be here first and foremost every season, so that means starting the campaign with a really good mentality to go to achieve and progress." Pochettino, on Spurs' performance this season : "I always remember the first meeting that we had all together, when the World Cup players arrived, and we said, 'We all start from zero. It's going to be a difficult season and we need to be open to improve and to fight.' We've always built some spirit inside the dressing room to fight against the reality. It was tough but in the end we are in a very good position. We feel very proud." Prediction Spurs have fared remarkably well against Bournemouth (6W-1D-0L since the Cherries were promoted in 2015), as has Son Heung-min on an individual level (four goals in the last two meetings). It's all setting up for Spurs to secure a top-four place on Saturday and free their minds for Wednesday's trip to Amsterdam for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals.

After being announced back in 2015, the remake of Final Fantasy VII seems to be finally getting closer. Sony showed off some rare gameplay footage in a State of Play video earlier today, and it's promised to say more about the game in June   presumably around the E3 gaming conference. The one-minute trailer shows off a lot of cinematic shots, but we get a little gameplay as well. Video: Final Fantasy VII: Remake - Official State Of Play Trailer (CNET) It looks relatively similar to the gameplay we saw nearly four years ago   although the interface is more detailed and Cloud's hair looks better (to me, at least). We also get a very quick look at the remake's version of Sephiroth. The game still doesn't have a release date, but in the words of the trailer, "the return draws closer." Final Fantasy VII director Tetsuya Nomura has said that the remake was announced far earlier than he'd have liked, in order to get ahead of rumors about the game. But last year, he was promising that the remake was "actually in development." In a blog post accompanying the trailer, producer Yoshinori Kitase apologized for the wait. "Finally... The long awaited moment has come. Sorry to keep you all waiting so long!" he wrote. Gallery: 14 reasons why now is the perfect time to buy a PlayStation 4 (Business Insider)


DeAndre Thompkins played with a pretty good signal caller at Penn State in Trace McSorley, but that talent can never be compared to what the rookie we'll see in Carson Wentz. Thompkins has been with the Eagles a few months now after signing as an undrafted free agent and the former Penn State star can't quit raving about catching passes from the NFL's highest-paid quarterback. Thompkins faces long odds in making the team but didn't mince words when calling it "a blessing" to work with one of the NFL's most elite passers. "One thing I would say is he does a good job of elevating everyone around him," Thompkins said via Penn Live. "He treats me and JJ [Arcega-Whiteside] just like he treats D-Jacc, Nelly and all those guys. He expects you to perform at a high level, and then if you don't understand something or something happens, he's the first one to come over and explain to you what you gotta do, why you gotta do it. So to have somebody like that, man, it's a blessing." Thompkins will have to hope that he can offer something in the return game while hoping to impress despite getting limited reps behind DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and JJ Arcega-Whiteside for starters.

The woman at the center of a tense standoff at a Sacramento County apartment earlier this week was arrested again on different charges less than a day after being released from jail, Folsom police said. Kathy Miller was arrested Wednesday around 9:20 a.m. after an incident with her husband, police said. Miller was arrested and faces charges of domestic violence, corporal injury on a spouse and committing a felony while out on bail. Earlier this week, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said she sparked a SWAT standoff at an apartment along La Riviera Drive after calling for help and then opening fire inside the home where her three young children were. Miller called authorities around 8 a.m. Tuesday, said she wanted to report a break-in and then hung up, said Sgt. Tess Deterding. When deputies got to the home, they heard a gunshot. A SWAT team was called to the area to assist, and more gunshots were heard. No deputies fired their weapons. Miller surrendered peacefully to deputies after a short standoff, Deterding said. The three children inside the home were all under 10 years old. They were not hurt and are with family members, Deterding said. Miller was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail. She is facing charges related to child endangerment and firing a gun inside an inhabited dwelling. Miller had been out of jail for less than a day before being arrested again in Folsom.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)   A Queens mother is in critical condition after being struck by a hit-and-run driver just steps from her home. Family members identified the victim as 47-year-old Nabeela Aziz. She was struck by a white SUV, believed to be a Dodge, around 11 p.m. Tuesday near 64 th Avenue and 223 rd Place in Bayside. "My sister and dad and my mom were walking on that crosswalk. They say that a white Jeep was turning, and it was turning at like 40 to 50 miles per hour. It hit my mom, and she flew," her son, Tamoor Tariq, told CBS2. Police are looking for a driver in a white SUV they say hit a 47 year old mother in Bayside, Queens and sped off. The victim has been identified by family as Nabeela Aziz. Her son says she is in critical condition at the hospital. The latest on @CBSNewYork this morning. pic.twitter.com/I7vv193PJn   Jenna DeAngelis (@jennamdeangelis) June 12, 2019 Aziz's husband chased after the SUV, but the driver allegedly sped off. "She had internal head bleeding. The doctor said that the bleeding has stopped for now, but there is obviously some brain damage, because she was bleeding," Tariq said. "For now, they say she's pretty good for what happened, for what took place." Police stepped up patrols and speed enforcement near the intersection Wednesday. The busy intersection only has one stop sign, and there isn't one where the SUV was turning. "These people in this neighborhood do not know what a stop sign is. They go past the stop sign and do not stop, and if nobody's there, they just keep on going," said Butch Velez, who lives next door to Aziz. "Terrible, terrible. Sometimes I walk my granddaughter and I have to run across the street to get out of the way of these cars," neighbor Joann Ibaldi added. Neighbors said they want to see changes. "A stop sign would be great on both sides here, and also maybe a speed gun," said neighbor Eddie Ocasio. "They should put a speed bump or a light for the people, because it's very bad around here," neighbor Halina Mihalatos. As for Tariq, he hopes whoever hit his mother will face justice. "I hope they really catch this person, whoever it is. Because the way I feel right now about the person   it's pretty inhumane," Tariq said. "He hit my mom and just ran off without even checking if she's fine or not. Didn't even call the police, he just ran away. So I really do hope they catch him."


PARIS   A longtime chief of the Basque militant separatist group ETA has been jailed in France, a day after his arrest in a French Alpine town ended 17 years on the run. A French judicial official said Josu Ternera, the most wanted ETA member since 2002, was transferred to Paris, formally notified of the arrest warrant and ordered jailed. The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly. Ternera was arrested Thursday in the town of Sallanches. He was convicted in absentia in 2017 in France for involvement in a terrorist group and sentenced to eight years in prison. He has the right to request a new trial. Spain says it will ask France to extradite Ternera to stand trial for alleged crimes against humanity and multiple killings before he completes a French sentence. ETA, whose initials stand for "Basque Homeland and Freedom" in the Basque language, killed more than 850 people during its decades-long violent campaign to create an independent state in northern Spain and southern France. The militant group gave up its arms in 2017 and disbanded last year after being weakened by efforts to dismantle its operations and arrest its leaders. Ternera was one of the negotiators who sat down with Spanish government envoys for talks to try to end the group's activities in the mid-2000s. His voice was identified as one of two ETA members who read a statement announcing the group's dismantling on audio recordings released on May 3, 2018. Mayor Jean-Marc Peillex of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains said Ternera had been housed in the village of Saint Nicolas de Veroce, on the outskirts of his town. He speculated Friday that police were searching for accomplices who helped hide the long-time fugitive. "Who helped him? Who were the people around him? Were they aware? Were they not aware?" the mayor said. He also said an area popular with tourists is easy to hide in. French President Emmanuel Macron, touring the French Basque city of Biarritz ahead of a G-7 summit, was asked about the possibility of freedom for Ternera, whose real name is José Antonio Urruticoetxea Bengoetxea. He replied "Political reconciliation does not mean amnesty." ___ Jamey Keaten in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains contributed.
