College football media days continue this week, but four of the five Power 5 conferences have already finished their peak talking seasons. Clemson and Alabama players engaged in an entertaining back-and-forth, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh made headlines for his opinions on Urban Meyer and transfer waivers, and UNC's Mack Brown shed some light on his return to the coaching ranks. What did we learn from media day season? Here are the winners and losers ... so far: MORE: Clemson's 'urgency' bleeding over into rest of ACC College football media day winners Clemson Video by ACC Digital Network Trevor Lawrence wasn't at the ACC Kickoff, so guard John Simpson did his best impersonation with a blond wig. That's a sign the defending national champions haven't lost their fun-loving personality, but the back and forth with Alabama players and Lawrence's now-deleted dig at Paul Finebaum on Twitter suggests the Tigers have a mental edge. Is it QB Trevor Lawrence or OL John Simpson from Clemson? The Hybrid 'carnated' at #ACCKickoff @1010XL pic.twitter.com/sce982s7ie   Joe Cowart (@1010xljoec) July 17, 2019 Clemson coach Dabo Swinney also insisted repeatedly that the Tigers are starting over. "Every team is a completely new challenge," Swinney said. "It's like having a new kid. I got three sons, they're all different, all different challenges. You guys that are parents can understand that. We also understand the Tigers have first-team Sporting News preseason All-Americans in Lawrence, running back Travis Etienne and linebacker Isaiah Simmons. Mack Brown Brown is back, and the last five years in the booth made him even better on the podium. Brown, 67, is preparing for his second stint with the Tar Heels. For those who think it can't be done, keep in mind Brown went 45-15 in his last five seasons the first time around with the Tar Heels. North Carolina has a challenging schedule in 2019, but Brown was as loose as ever in the spotlight. "I'm going to enjoy the players, I'm going to enjoy the game and I'm going to have a lot more fun this time than I did last time," Brown said. Ryan Day The first-year Ohio State coach stayed low profile while Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh made headlines at Big Ten Media Days (more on that in a bit). Day kept his answers short, sweet and maintained that, yes, that game against Michigan will be a top priority. "We respect those guys to the utmost and the program they have," Day said, via MLive.com . "We know this year it's going to be hard. Last year was a little bit of an anomaly; it got sideways, and we know it's not going to be that easy this year. We're going to have our hands full up there." Given how Day has recruiting through the summer, that phase of the program hasn't missed a beat. Now it's time to do it on the field. Nebraska The Huskers were picked to win the Big Ten West in Scott Frost's second season. Nebraska will play with high expectations around Heisman Trophy dark horse Adrian Martinez, and it gets Wisconsin, Iowa and Northwestern at home. The Sept. 28 home matchup against Ohio State has ESPN College GameDay written all over it. Iowa State The Cyclones are picked third in the Big 12, right behind heavyweights Oklahoma and Texas   a nod to the continued progress under Matt Campbell. Iowa State plays at Oklahoma before a home game with Texas on Nov. 16. Ke'Shawn Vaughn The Vanderbilt running back rocked a custom-made suit for Media Days and had the shoes to go with it. The Commodores running back is a name worth knowing heading into 2019. The conference's top returning rusher enters his senior season after totaling 1,244 yards and 12 touchdowns on 7.9 yards per carry in 2018. Ke'Shawn Vaughn shows off custom suit, discusses his "Nashville personality" and playing in his hometown. #SECMD19 pic.twitter.com/W6B2mzeRbp   FoxNashville (@FOXNashville) July 18, 2019 Beards and mullets Who wore it better?

"No violence against a woman is OK," Miles said. "I did not make this decision, but I stand by it and see it as a right one." The one-game suspension comes after William was charged with misdemeanor battery after a woman alleged that "she was punched in the stomach, as well as grabbed by the throat." "Violence will not be acceptable with women, period," Miles said. "Action was taken immediately. We felt like a strong point was made, not only with Pooka but with the team. Pooka was going through a process for seven months. Pooka went through a legal investigation with the legal community and he also went through the proceeding with the conduct board with the university." Miles dropped Pooka three times in that graph. Perhaps at least a three-game suspension or more would have made that point a lot stronger.  Transfer waivers Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh made waves for his comments on Urban Meyer   we detailed why those were a wash here   but it was his comments on transfer waivers that got lost in translation. Harbaugh said players should be able to get a one-time transfer and not have to sit out. He's 100 percent right about that, and it's a policy the NCAA should adopt sooner rather than later. That message was distorted, however, considering he brought depression and mental health into the debate   and former Michigan player-turned-Cincinnati transfer James Hudson Harbaugh clarified his remarks , but the point stands: Let the players transfer once for free. Make them sit out a year the second time and make those waivers more difficult to get at that point. It really is that simple. "Horns Down" debate The Big 12 made clarifications on the "Horns Down" gesture, which, of course, is the inverse of Texas' "Hook 'Em" celebration. Opposing players can do the "Horns Down" celebration, but they cannot direct it at other players. And you thought traffic school was boring. The most ridiculous part was the explanation former West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was given when David Sills V was penalized for the gesture last season. "I went to the refs and I said, 'Who did he intimidate?" Holgorsen said, via ESPN.com . "They go, 'He intimidated the crowd.' He intimidated the crowd, is what they said." There are a couple Twitter acronyms that go well here. South Carolina's SEC title chances The Gamecocks received one vote to win the SEC East from media who cover the conference. Considering the difficulty of their schedule, that seems … unlikely. The Gamecocks' conference schedule features crossover games with No. 1 Alabama (Sept. 14) and Texas A&M (Nov. 16), plus a visit to No. 3 Georgia on Oct. 12. That doesn't even include a challenging SEC slate against Missouri, Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee   or the bookend games against nonconference opponents North Carolina (Aug. 31) or Clemson (Nov. 30). Will Muschamp's biggest sound clip came after being asked if South Carolina was Clemson's little brother. "We're not the little brother." Time to go out and prove it. Kelly Bryant's Clemson breakup The former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant is starting over at Missouri and will be the starter for a different Tigers' team this year. Bryant, however, was a midseason transfer last season who brought up that he did not receive a national championship ring from Clemson. If the players are going to get more freedom to come and go, they cannot expect anything from the schools when they leave   let alone a national championship ring. Bryant still might get one down the line, of course, and he was complimentary of his former teammates beating Alabama. Other than that, it's best to move on. Speaking of which. … MORE: Five reasons to expect Bama-Clemson V in 2019 Win some, lose some Alabama Nick Saban talked quite a bit about Clemson at SEC Media Days, and he brought up former coaches with a pointed comment : "When we won the LSU game, it just seemed like people's own agendas started to become more important," Saban said. Alabama lost 44-16 to Clemson in the College Football Playoff championship game last season, and linebacker Dylan Moses saying Georgia was a tougher opponent than the Tigers seems ridiculous. Clemson handled the Media Day circus better than Alabama, but that doesn't mean the Crimson Tide should be worried. Alabama boasted 12 selections to the 2019 preseason All-SEC first team, and 21 among the first, second and third teams. The SEC is still the Crimson Tide's to lose, and they have all season to get their mind right if they want to take on Clemson again at season's end. Chances are we're going to see this play out on the field at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Jan. 13. Pac-12 Pac-12 Media Day is July 24 in Hollywood, and the conference will have the college football spotlight to itself this week. Too bad it also runs with the start of several NFL training camps, which will command a lot of attention from media. Our advice for the Pac-12 to stand out? Sell a storyline that doesn't involve USC coach Clay Helton being on the hot seat. Oregon and Washington are legit Playoff contenders in Pac-12 North, and this is a big year for a conference that has been fighting the perception battle through the CFP era.


Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has left the club's pre-season training camp in Montreal due to personal reasons, with assistant David Bettoni set to lead Los Blancos in his absence. The club are set to compete in the Audi Cup and International Champions Cup this summer, with their first fixture a meeting with Bayern Munich on 20 July. Zidane leaves the training camp in Montreal for personal reasons. #RealMadrid   Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) July 12, 2019 However, Real took to their official website to reveal that Zidane will not be in Montreal to work with his side after he left the training camp for what was described as 'personal reasons'. No further information was given about the situation, other than the fact that Bettoni will lead the team until Zidane returns. According to AS , club officials believe that Zidane will return in time to face Bayern in their opening pre-season fixture, and he is still expected to have plenty of time in which to work with his new-look side. Zidane has already added Eden Hazard , Luka Jovic, Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao and Rodrygo Goes this summer, and he will certainly have been desperate to work with his new players as much as possible ahead of the upcoming season. Los Blancos will also take on Arsenal , Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur before the end of July, in the hope of adding two new pieces of silverware to their enormous trophy cabinet. The hope is that the squad will be able to recover from an abysmal previous campaign which saw them finish a huge 19 points behind rivals Barcelona in La Liga . They also crashed out of both the Champions League and Copa del Rey in disappointing fashion, leaving fans desperate for change this summer.


Within a few minutes of the Patriots' comeback victory over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX , Marshawn Lynch was asked about his thoughts on not getting the football on the decisive play of the game. But if there is one thing we know about Lynch, it's that he never gives the media what they are hoping for. Instead of claiming that he should have gotten the football, he simply stated that football is a team sport . MORE: Lynch trademarks "I'm just here so I don't get fined" | Lynch doesn't like his own movie But now nearly a month removed from the big game, Lynch is opening up, albeit it on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. "Beast Mode" was recently interviewed by NTV Spor, the leading sports network in Turkey, and provided a lengthy answer on his thoughts about the play call. "To be honest with you, I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I was expecting the ball," he told broadcaster Ismail Senol. "Yes, I was expecting the ball. But in life, these things happen. Like I told a reporter after the game, it's a team sport." "I had no problem with the decision of the play calling. I mean, you know, I think it was more of a, how do I say this? When you look at me, and you let me run that ball in, I am the face of the nation. You know, MVP of the Super Bowl. That's pretty much the face of the nation at that point of time. I don't know what went into that call. I mean, maybe it was a good thing that I didn't get the ball. I mean, you know, it cost us the Super Bowl. I mean, have full confidence in my teammates to execute that plan because we've done it so many more times. But would I love to had the ball in? Yes, I would have." "But the game is over, and I am in Turkey." For what seems like the first time in a long time, Lynch was able to open up and provide candid answers. Maybe Lynch doesn't have a problem with the media. Maybe his problem is with the American media. But who knows, this could just be another in a long line of "Marshawn being Marshawn."


FARMINGDALE, N.Y.   A light rain was falling and half of Long Island was scrambling through the mud that has become as much a part of a Bethpage Black major as the course's iconic caddie logo when Tiger Woods teed off for his second round on Friday. Anticipation rarely matches reality when it comes to Tiger and those expectations have only been tilted further in the wake of his victory at the Masters. All of New York was poised for something special, but he gave them nothing. He scrambled for par at No. 1, bogeyed the second hole from the rough and made an indifferent par at the fourth. There was also a missed 6-footer for par at the seventh. Tiger didn't hit his first fairway of the day until the ninth hole. It was one of only three. The crowd was poised for an epic charge, the kind that made Tiger appointment viewing every time he nudged within a touchdown of a lead. But by the time he opened his inward loop with three consecutive bogeys to drop to 5 over and two shots on the wrong side of the projected cut, anticipation had been replaced by angst. Tiger started the week at the PGA Championship as the betting favorite. The stars were aligned. He would etch his name into the Wanamaker Trophy for the fifth time. He would tie Sam Snead with a record 82 PGA Tour victories. He would inch to within two Grand Slam victories of Jack Nicklaus' record haul of 18. It was perfect. It didn't happen. Tiger missed the cut at a major for just the ninth time as a professional with a 3-over 73 on Day 2 and a 5-over total, one shot removed from a weekend tee time. "Well, I'm not playing the weekend," Woods said with a look of resignation etched across his face. Excuses really aren't Tiger's thing. In good times or in bad, he's always clung to a simple truth: play better. He wasn't going to start conjuring scapegoats just because things didn't go his way at the new May PGA. But it doesn't take a deep dive to assess what happened at Bethpage. The PGA Championship was Tiger's first start since winning last month's Masters. Although this isn't exactly out of the ordinary, it does offer a viable explanation for his play. His 15 th major triumph at Augusta National released a decade of pent up emotion, and he conceded this week he didn't want to begin the "grind" to prepare for the Wells Fargo Championship, which would have been his likely start between majors. PGA Championship: Scores | Full coverage The issue was compounded by poor weather to start the week. He played just nine holes on Monday in a cold rain, opted for only a range session on Tuesday and didn't even make it to the course on Wednesday. "I got a little bit sick, so I decided to stay home," he explained on Thursday. Although he spent a day last week at Bethpage scouting the layout with caddie Joe LaCava, it wasn't rigorous prep. For a man whose career has been anchored by a work ethic that is often under-appreciated, the simplest reasoning for his missed cut is rust   not that Tiger was having any part of that discussion. "No, no, no. Definitely not," he said when asked if his lack of practice impacted his play. "It's just the way it goes. Just don't feel well and just not able to do it. But resting would be better, so I would have energy to play. Unfortunately, I just made too many mistakes and just didn't do the little things I need to do." Tiger said the same thing when he missed the cut at the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. The '06 championship was his first start following the passing of his father, Earl, a month earlier. He had gone nearly two months between events. It's worth noting that Woods won his next major start at the '06 Open Championship following a more traditional tune-up that included a tournament two weeks before arriving at Hoylake. "It was off today, for sure. But around here, you miss fairways, you can get away with it for a while, but it's going to catch up with you," LaCava said. "It wasn't like he was hitting it everywhere, but 6 feet off the fairway and you're screwed. And obviously his feel wasn't that great on the greens. You can see that." Tiger has repeatedly said that his schedule will be more selective going forward, the byproduct of the understandable aches and pains associated with a back that's been operated on four times. If that means the occasional clunker interspersed with captivating performances like he produced at last month's Masters, then so be it. "Hoping to feel a little better, that's first and foremost," Tiger said, when asked how he plans to prepare for his next start. "If I get that going a little better, start training and start practicing again and get back up to speed." For Tiger this is the new reality, a balancing act between staying sharp and game-ready while maintaining his health and being rested. As he made his way up the hill on No. 18, the rain had finally stopped and the sun had peeked through the gloom. The crowd was still hopeful, but for this week, Tiger was finished.

A trio of additions to Utah State's roster are, as it turns out, very familiar with the Beehive State. USU head coach Gary Andersen confirmed Thursday that three graduate transfers have made the move into his program   running back Riley Burt , wide receiver Siaosi Mariner and tight end Caleb Repp . Burt comes to USU from the Utah Utes, while both Mariner and Repp began their collegiate playing careers at BYU. All three will be eligible to play immediately for the Aggies in 2019, which will serve as the final year of eligibility for each player. Burt, who announced on social media in early February that he would be transferring to USU , finished the BYU portion of his collegiate career with 513 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 96 carries. This past season, Burt's 332 yards were fourth on the Cougars. In BYU's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl romp over Western Michigan late last year, Burt ran for a team- and career-high 110 yards on 13 carries, including a 37-yard touchdown run in the third quarter of the 49-18 win over the MAC school. In starting 22 of the 36 games in which he played for the Cougars, Mariner totaled 785 yards and four touchdowns on 52 career receptions. Last season, in five starts and 12 appearances total, he caught 17 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown. Repp switched from defensive end to tight end and caught two passes for 25 yards, with both of those receptions resulting in touchdowns.


It's a boy: Endangered gorilla born at Chicago zoo


Tanguy Ndombele is now officially a Tottenham Hotspur player. The French international, 22, completed his move to the Premier League on Tuesday as Spurs shattered their transfer record to sign the central midfield from Lyon. Ndombele has reportedly cost Tottenham close to $82 million, which almost doubles their previous record transfer fee of $45 million for Davinson Sanchez in 2017. With several top clubs across Europe chasing Ndombele, he has chosen to head to White Hart Lane on a contract until 2025, as Spurs will build their entire midfield around the exciting two-way player. Ndombele has been superb for Lyon over the past two seasons and has broken into the French national team in recent months. His distribution, reading of the game, dribbling and ability to intercept opponents have elevated him to the this level and he's one of the best two-way central midfielders in the game right now. After losing the silky skills of Mousa Dembele, this was an area where Spurs really needed to strengthen. Ndombele's arrival means the likes of Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama could well be on their way out this summer, with Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks battling to start alongside him, while Christian Eriksen is likely heading out of the door with just one year left on his current contract. Signing Ndombele is a massive coup in the transfer market for Tottenham. Daniel Levy spending this much money on one player is a huge statement on its own, and it will also help to keep the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli enthused about the Spurs project as they continue to challenge in the Champions League and the top four of the Premier League. After going 18 months without signing a single new player (518 days, if you were counting…), Tottenham signed two new players in one day as promising teenager Jack Clarke arrived from Leeds United just before Ndombele and the English winger was then loaned back to Leeds for the 2019-20 campaign. Turns out it is true what they say about London buses… Follow @JPW_NBCSports


Democrats are increasingly focused on making Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a political villain as they attempt to win back control of the Senate in next year's election and galvanize the party's liberal base. That effort gained new momentum on Tuesday as Amy McGrath, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel and combat pilot, announced she would challenge McConnell (R-Ky.) and blamed him for turning Washington into "something we despise" in a campaign video that drew millions of views. While McGrath faces a steep climb against McConnell in ruby-red Kentucky, which President Trump carried by 30 percentage points in 2016, she is expected to raise significant funds from national Democrats and provide the party with a relentless and high-profile opponent. Subscribe to the Post Most newsletter: Today's most popular stories on The Washington Post McGrath's entry comes two weeks after Democrats succeeded in recruiting Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon to run against Sen. Susan Collins (R). Gideon previewed her campaign by putting McConnell front and center in her announcement video, showing several clips of him and criticizing Collins for working with the GOP leader and Trump to overhaul the federal judiciary and tax code. "The majority leader has extraordinary power and is the primary obstacle to getting things done here in the U.S. Senate," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said in an interview Tuesday. "He is also the face of acquiescence to Trump and the Republicans' lack of a spine. The most effective arguments are often about a personality, a personal face and a story, and this story has the great virtue of being true." The latest critiques reflect a growing movement within Democratic ranks to make the 2020 election cycle not just a referendum on Trump, but also a purging of McConnell and entrenched Republicans who have given conservatives immense sway over policy and judicial vacancies while enabling Trump's priorities, from hard-line immigration policies at the U.S.-Mexico border to sweeping deregulation. Republicans hold a 53-to-47 majority, and Democrats see opportunities to reclaim the Senate with an unpopular president at the top of the ticket and the GOP defending nearly twice as many seats. But a handful of marquee recruits, like former state legislative leader Stacey Abrams in Georgia, have declined to run, and a few presidential candidates have shown no interest in abandoning a White House bid for a Senate campaign. Joining the anti-McConnell chorus are the presidential candidates, who have called the Republican a direct threat to making progress on signature party issues such as gun control, health care and climate change. "We're not going to get anywhere as long as Mitch McConnell has the keys to the car," Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democratic presidential contender, said earlier this year at a forum in Austin. That sentiment was evident at last month's Democratic presidential debates in Florida when 2020 candidates were asked by moderators about their plans to deal with McConnell if they win. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who favors getting rid of the legislative filibuster to eliminate obstacles if Democrats win the Senate, said she would push McConnell "from the outside, have leadership from the inside and make this Congress reflect the will of the people." McConnell later said he was "thrilled" with the mentions. The fixation on McConnell has echoes of how Republicans used Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as a strategic bugbear in their 2010 campaign to capture the House majority, and consultants say it could help Democrats draw attention to contests that until recently have flown under the radar as the crowded presidential primary has heated up and Trump makes headlines. "Whether Trump wins or loses, a Democratic Senate is the ultimate way of stopping him and his agenda, once and for all," Jim Manley, a longtime Democratic senatorial aide, said. "And in a hyperpartisan environment, making McConnell a symbol could serve as a powerful inducement." Still, Manley said, Democrats must work to raise McConnell's profile nationally and keep up sustained attacks because Trump's overwhelming presence makes McConnell an effective but far lesser known foil. McConnell, one of the nation's highest-ranking leaders, is the polar opposite of Trump in terms of personality: an exceedingly dry, clipped and occasionally droll politician. He relishes his reputation as the "grim reaper" of the Senate who blocks Democratic legislation and liberal ambitions. Democratic leaders, such as Pelosi, have worked to remind voters this summer that McConnell should be held responsible for his alliance with Trump and the conditions at migrant detention centers. United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said Monday that she is "appalled by the conditions" facing families who have crossed into the United States. "Mitch McConnell doesn't care about the children,'' Pelosi said in a recent interview with the New York Times. McConnell did not express any concern about McGrath on Tuesday, telling reporters it would be a "spirited race." "Particularly since I've become leader of my party in the Senate, I've noticed I get more attention than I used to," he said. "I look forward to the contest," and, he added, "I actually enjoy campaigning." Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) called McGrath a "great candidate" and said "she realizes this is a tough fight. She realizes that Mitch McConnell will throw the kitchen sink at her." "We are going to be going on the offense wherever we can," said Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. "This is definitely a tougher map for Republicans." Schumer in April started calling McConnell's Senate a "legislative graveyard" and has worked behind the scenes since then to build a messaging strategy around what Democrats say is McConnell's intransigence. That tag line has been taken up by other Democrats. Last month, a dozen Democratic freshmen marched to McConnell's office to deliver a letter demanding that he hold a vote on an anti-corruption bill. "It's going to be a drumbeat that's going to continue for months on the things that people care about," Rep. Colin Allred (D-Tex.), one of the freshmen, said at the time. McGrath, 44, narrowly lost a House race last year against Rep. Garland "Andy" Barr (R-Ky.) and has since remained in the political spotlight. In December, she said she would not run for governor, stoking speculation that should would run for the seat that McConnell, 77, has held since 1985. McConnell's campaign responded with a video of its own, which used McGrath's statements from her House race to portray her as "too liberal for Kentucky." The video included clips of McGrath calling Trump's proposed border wall "stupid" and advocating for single-payer health care. She is also shown comparing the way she felt after Trump's election in 2016 to the way she felt after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In a statement, McConnell campaign manager Kevin Golden said McGrath has "a heckuva platform that we will be delighted to discuss over the next sixteen months." While the 2020 Senate landscape is more favorable to Democrats than in the brutal 2018 midterms, where they saw a net loss of two seats despite a massive surge in national Democratic turnout, the uncertainties of the presidential race and a decline in ticket-splitting offer them only a narrow path to winning a majority next year. Democrats would need to capture at least three additional seats and win the White House to control the Senate in 2021. Thirty-four Senate seats are up next year, with Republicans defending 22 and Democrats 12. Sens. Cory Gardner (Colo.), Martha McSally (Ariz.) and Collins are widely considered the most vulnerable Republicans. Democrats, meanwhile, have to defend two seats in states Trump won in 2016   Alabama and Michigan. But Democrats are buoyed by possible Republican pitfalls in Alabama and Kansas, where party infighting has complicated Senate primary races. In Alabama, Roy Moore, the former state Supreme Court justice who lost to Sen. Doug Jones (D) in a 2017 special election amid accusations of sexual misconduct with underage girls in the late 1970s, is running again. Trump, who backed Moore in 2017, has called for him to stand down. In Kansas, Kris Kobach   the former Kansas attorney general who lost his race for governor last year and has struggled to win votes in suburban areas of his state because of his hard-line views on immigration, voting rights and fiscal policy   announced his Senate bid on Monday to fill the Republican seat being vacated by Sen. Pat Roberts after four terms. McConnell expressed optimism Tuesday when asked about both races. "In all likelihood, the voters of Alabama are not going to need any advice from us," he said. "I think they've seen quite enough of Roy Moore, and I anticipate we will have a different nominee in the fall election." On Kobach, McConnell said, "The Kansas race is open, and I'm not sure the president agrees with me, but I'd like to see the secretary of state (Mike Pompeo) run for the Senate in Kansas." He said he continues to try to recruit Pompeo, who previously represented Kansas in the House. The filing deadline for the Senate race is next June. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is also facing two Republican primary challengers: Garland S. Tucker III, chief executive of a Raleigh investment company, and farmer Sandy Smith. On the Democratic side, Cal Cunningham, a veteran and former state senator courted by national Democrats, recently announced his candidacy. Democrats, while enthused about McGrath and Gideon, among others, are eager for some presidential candidates to end their White House campaigns and "jump into the Senate mix," Manley said. Former Texas representative Beto O'Rourke, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, all of whom have failed to gain traction in the polls, are at the top of most Democrats' recruiting list. robert.costa@washpost.com John Wagner and Mike DeBonis contributed to this report.


MEXICO CITY/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mexico's president on Tuesday thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for saying Mexico was keeping its commitment to reduce the flow of U.S.-bound migrants, as criticism mounted within the United States over conditions in the Trump administration's immigrant detention centers. Under pressure from Washington to intensify Mexico's immigration enforcement efforts after apprehensions at the U.S. border hit more than a 10-year high, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's government in June deployed thousands of militarized police across the country. Migration flows from Central America have dropped sharply since then. "I am grateful that even President Trump is making it known that Mexico is fulfilling its commitment and that there are no threats of tariffs," Lopez Obrador told reporters in Mexico City. Under a June 7 agreement reached between the two countries, the United States gave Mexico until late July to show results on lowering migration toward the United States, or face renewed pressure over tariffs and further enforcement measures. Speaking at the Group of 20 nations summit in Japan on Saturday, Trump praised Mexico for helping to ease the migrant crush at the border. Trump has made clamping down on illegal immigration the centerpiece of his domestic policy agenda, railing against migrants, most of whom are Central Americans, crossing into the United States from Mexico and vowing to build a wall along vast portions of the southern border. Conditions at U.S. facilities holding migrants along the border have become a flashpoint since an internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security watchdog warned of "dangerous overcrowding" at the El Paso facility in May. Members of a congressional group visiting the main Border Patrol facility in El Paso and a facility in Clint, Texas, on Monday said migrants were being kept in deplorable conditions and, according to U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, told to drink out of toilets. White House spokesman Hogan Gidley praised the work of CBP agents on the border. "I don't know what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is talking about," Gidley said in an interview with Fox Business Network. "They're some of the bravest men and women on the planet. They put their lives in danger every single day. They provided three meals a day to people who are here illegally and unlawfully, two snacks in between," Gidley said. The Border Patrol also came under fire on Monday following a report by the non-profit news site ProPublica detailing offensive content posted on a private Facebook group for current and former CBP officers that included jokes about the deaths of migrants and sexually explicit comments referencing Ocasio-Cortez. Ocasio-Cortez, a first-term New York Democrat who was part of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus visit to the border on Monday, suggested in a Twitter post on Tuesday that the CBP was a "rogue agency." CBP condemned the Facebook group and acknowledged that it may include a number of the agency's employees. Reuters did not independently confirm the report. Immigrant rights groups including MoveOn and United We Dream planned protests at scores of district offices of members of Congress around the United States on Tuesday, saying the conditions inside the immigrant detention centers were "horrific." They are calling for the lawmakers to close the detention centers and to not allow any extra funding for the detention of immigrant families.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet )   Over the past century, global temperatures have risen by more than 0.6 degrees Celsius, with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicting an additional increase of 2 to 4 degrees Celsius by 2100. A major concern over this impending climate change is how it will impact future food security. A new study lends further validity to this concern, as it has found rising temperatures will likely cause a decline in our global wheat crops. Specifically, the research revealed that for every degree Celsius that global temperature increases, the world stands to lose 6% of its wheat crop. This is equal to a quarter of the annual global wheat trade, which reached 147 million tons in 2013. For the study, University of Florida professor of agricultural and biological engineering Senthold Asseng assembled and led a team of 50 scientists from 15 countries. The team included Frank Ewert, a professor with the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation at the University of Bonn in Germany, and Pierre Martre, a senior scientist at the French national research institute INRA. Asseng's team collaborated to devise an ensemble of computer models to increase the accuracy of the predictions. The researchers worked with 30 wheat crop models and tested them against field experiments where average season temperatures ranged from 15 to 32 degrees Celsius (59 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit). "[W]heat is one of the world's most important food crops," said Asseng, whose team's study was published online at the end of last year Nature Climate Change. "The simulations with the multi-crop models showed that warming is already slowing yield gains, despite observed yield increases in the past, at a majority of wheat-growing locations across the globe." For the past two decades, scientists have been trying to estimate the effects of temperature increases and climate change on wheat production, as it accounts 20% of the calories consumed worldwide. The expert consensus is that global food production needs to increase 60% by mid-century to meet the projected demand from an anticipated population of more than 9 billion people. Yet, a study out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last year found that global food production was projected to fall by as much as 15% by 2050 under one scenario, with malnourishment increasing from 18 to 27%--with wheat found to be particularly more vulnerable to ozone pollution as compared to other grain crops. Currently, U.S. wheat supplies are up, with the 2014-2015 season-average farm price projected to be 10 cents higher on both ends to $5.90 to $6.30 and global wheat production remains record high, according to the USDA. Asseng's team did not include an economist, so they did not try to analyze how decline in wheat crops could impact the prices of bread and pasta products. "In general, if something is less is available, prices would go up, but the reality is much more complicated, so we don't really know," said Asseng. The world population gets 75% of its dietary nourishment from four crops that include wheat. The U.S. produces about 10% of the global supply of wheat and exports a quarter of it, with about 22% used for livestock feed. Considering these numbers, the impact of climate change on wheat could spell disaster for food prices. In fact, world average prices for wheat rose 136% between 2006 and 2008. And the International Food Policy Research Institute predicted last year that wheat prices may rise anywhere from 17 to 67% over the next several decades depending on how much temperatures rise in proportion to the rate of population growth. So, what can be done to curb climate change's potentially disastrous effects on our global wheat crops? A University of Nebraska-Lincoln study found sustaining yield gains for grain crops (including wheat) would require changes in how the crops are grown--including planting crop rows closer together and exercising better weed and pest control--and might even result in only modest yield increases of 10% to 20%. According to Asseng, better crop management techniques such as sowing wheat crops earlier in the season and using irrigation when necessary, might also help be beneficial to sustaining production. Additionally, breeding new strains of wheat that are more heat -tolerant would be a crucial component to counteracting projected declines in crop yields. "Breeders in international centers but also in the private industry are already working on improving heat-tolerance in crops," said Asseng. "Considering that a breeding circle takes about ten to twelve years in wheat, and it might take more than one circle to improve heat-tolerance, we…need to invest now in breeding more heat-tolerant wheat." --Written by Laura Kiesel


A fleet of Formula 4 hybrids and a grid of TCR cars provided by category founder Marcello Lotti will be on the bill of the inaugural Motorsport Games in November. The new F4 single-seater built by the KCMG organisation, LMP2 class winner at the 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours, and the link-up with Lotti's organisation were among a package of announcements made by event promoter Stephane Ratel today. They will join Ratel's existing GT Nations Cup event on the bill of the games set for Vallelunga on November 1-3, along with drifting and esports competitions. KCMG won the tender to supply the chassis for the F4 racer and has produced a new car powered by the same Abarth engine used in the Italian and German series. The KC MG-01 has been designed by the Ycom engineering house in Italy and the carbon components built by KCMG's carbon-fibre business. It incorporates an 12kW or 16bhp energy-retrieval system with a super-capacitor produced by Magnetti Marelli and, in a first for an F4 car, a cockpit halo. The cars will be centrally run by the British Hitech squad, which is also responsible for the fleet of W Series Tatuus-Alfa Romeos. KCMG boss Paul Ip said: "KCMG started as a race team, then added a carbon business and has now fulfilled my dream of mine by becoming a constructor. "The project has been quite tough: we've had seven months to do a brand new car to the latest safety regulations." Ratel explained that renewing his relationship with Lotti made sense for the touring car segment of the Motorsport Games that he conceived jointly with the FIA. His FIA GT Championship and Lotti's European and then World Touring Car Championship shared a bill on the Super Racing Weekend package in the early 2000s. National sporting authorities will be asked to supply teams for the games. The GT3 event, which is open to silver and bronze-rated drivers only, and the TCR race will be limited to 24 cars, while there will be 20 spaces on the grid for the F4 event. Drivers representing a country must hold a passport and a race licence issued in their home nation. The Motorsport Games will also incorporate a slalom event for electric karts in which national teams made up of one male and one female aged between 14 and 16 will compete.

Jason Peters is a future Hall of Famer, one of the best left tackles in NFL history and a guy that could feel threatened by the Eagles using a first round pick on his replacement. Peters is built different, and as he's returned to the fold for one last ride, he's preparing Dillard to step into some really big shoes. Peters returning for the Eagles mandatory minicamp relegated Andre Dillard to second-team status, but when both guys weren't getting reps in, Peters was embracing his role as big brother and mentor to the Eagles first round pick and his eventual replacement. After every repetition during Monday's opening day of minicamp, Peters walked up to Dillard to offer him teaching points or instructions. For Dillard, the mentoring is priceless, as he'll get to watch Peters work while having another set of veteran eyes to help coach him through it.

The Giants announced Thursday that they've placed right-hander Shaun Anderson and outfielder Steven Duggar on the injured list. Anderson is dealing with a blister on his right middle finger, while Duggar is down with a left shoulder AC joint sprain. The club recalled lefty Sam Selman and outfielder Joey Rickard from Triple-A Sacramento in corresponding moves. The injury comes amid a rough stretch for the 24-year-old Anderson, who hasn't recorded a quality start since June 23. The Nationals roughed up Anderson in his most recent start Wednesday, contributing to the rookie's 5.33 ERA. Anderson also owns a 4.97 FIP with 5.99 K/9 and 3.38 BB/9 in 82 2/3 innings. This will be his second IL placement of the season for Duggar, who has been among the least valuable players in the majors this season. The 25-year-old has taken 281 trips to the plate in 2019 and slashed .234/.278/.341 (63 wRC+) with four home runs and minus-0.5 fWAR. It's possible he'll now require season-ending surgery, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group tweets. Duggar previously underwent a season-ending procedure on his left shoulder as a rookie in 2018. Duggar's latest issue will open the door for Rickard, who hasn't taken a major league at-bat since the Giants claimed him from the Orioles in late June. The 28-year-old Rickard has been great in Sacramento, where he has batted .358/.406/.568 (134 wRC+) with four homers in 165 plate appearances. But Rickard wasn't nearly that productive in the majors as a member of the Orioles, with whom he hit .245/.299/.372 (80 wRC+) with 19 homers and 16 steals across 924 plate appearances from 2016-19.


Video by Yahoo Finance Uber passengers will have to pay a premium for silence. The ride hailing app debuted its "Quiet Mode" feature this week to put the driver on notice that they don't want to chat. Uber (UBER) passengers will have to pay more for peace and quiet   the feature is only available on its higher-priced Uber Black and Uber Black SUV premium rides. Passengers can select "quiet preferred," "happy to chat" or "no preference" for Uber Black cars or Uber Black SUVs. Fares for these cars are typically 100% more expensive than Uber X, and nearly 200% more expensive than Uber Pool, the apps ride-sharing option. An Uber ride from New York's Upper East Side to Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan costs up to $66.30 for a Black SUV or $44.52 for an Uber Black, the only options available for the quiet feature, according to a MarketWatch comparison. An UberPool costs $11.51. See also: Just one day after IPO Uber driver allegedly tried to kidnap two female passengers The new feature is part of Uber's new "Rider Preferences" features for an Uber Black or SUV. There's also a "Bags" option that lets riders alert a driver that they have luggage, and a "Temperature" control that lets them request heat or air conditioning. There's one catch. Opting for a quiet car does not guarantee the driver will actually remain quiet during the trip. "It's not mandatory," Uber product manager Aydin Ghajar told TechCrunch. "The driver is an independent contractor. We're just communicating the rider's preference." (Uber did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)


BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich.   The Wayland community is mourning after an 18-year-old man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Friday night in southern Kent County. The location was Wilson Avenue at 92nd Street SW, in Byron Township. The time was around 6:33 p.m. Friday. The Kent County Sheriff's Office says Ethan Mutschler was killed in the crash. He was a senior on the Wayland Union High School football and basketball teams. There was an outpouring of emotion in several social-media posts after news spread of Mutschler's death. Dan Cassini, a trustee on the Wayland Union Schools board of education, posted on Facebook that "Ethan was a very special young man, much more than one of our football/basketball players. "He touched so many and left a great impression on everyone that knew him in his too short a life." A Twitter site, "This is Wayland", posted that "Mutschler was perhaps best known as a three-year starter on the offensive line for the Wildcat varsity football team and as a member of the varsity basketball team. He was a good-sized red-headed young man at 6-7 and more than 200 pounds". The Sheriff's Office says in a news release a preliminary investigation shows Mutschler was driving a Ford Taurus eastbound on 92nd Street when he stopped for the stop sign at Wilson Avenue, and then proceeded into the intersection. "A southbound Volvo on Wilson struck the Taurus, killing the driver of the Taurus." No one else was in his vehicle. Police say alcohol was not involved, and the investigation continues. The 19-year-old driver of the Volvo, Coulter Rounds of Byron Center, suffered minor injuries, according to the Sheriff's Office. Both young men were wearing seatbelts. Besides the Sheriff's Office, Wayland Police, Byron Township Fire-Rescue, AMR ambulance and the Kent County Road Commission responded to the crash. ___ (c)2019 WXMI-TV, Grand Rapids Visit WXMI-TV, Grand Rapids at www.fox17online.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.


Stacker analyzed 2017 American Community Survey data on average commutes across the country, including cities categorized by the U.S. Census Bureau as urban areas. The cities with the worst commutes in America Commuting easily ranks as one of the least enjoyable parts of a person's day. A recent study by the University of the West of England found adding 20 minutes to a person's commute had the same effect on job satisfaction as taking a 19% pay cut. Commuters encounter more physical health problems, and low-income commuters are less likely to gain financial stability among a host of other negative impacts. And yet, America's commutes keep getting longer as people move farther away from the office, according to Census data. The average one-way commute in 2017 was nearly 27 minutes, which Governing.com found to be much higher averages for people in cities who commute via public transit during peak hours. Stacker analyzed 2017 American Community Survey data on average commutes across the country, including cities categorized by the U.S. Census Bureau as urban areas. These regions are densely populated with at least 2,500 people; we focused on urban areas which have at least 10,000 workers over the age of 16. Each city was ranked by the length of its average one-way commute, with ties were broken in favor of the city with the most people commuting longer than an hour. Think you have a long trip to work?
