On his SiriusXM Radio show Wednesday morning, one golf's top teaching professionals, Hank Haney, made some eyebrow-raising comments about the LPGA tour and its players. In conversation with "Great Predictor" Steve Johnson, Haney admitted to not knowing the 74th U.S. Women's Open was being played this week, nor knowing where the tournament was being held. Haney also showcased his lack of knowledge in reference to LPGA players and made a trite remark regarding recent South Korean dominance on Tour. The conversation at the beginning of the talk show went like this: "I'm gonna predict a Korean (will win)," Haney told Johnson, who laughed. Johnson responded, "okay, that's a pretty safe bet." "I couldn't name you six players on the LPGA tour. Maybe I could. Well … I'd go with 'Lee,' if I didn't have to name a first name. I'd get a bunch of them right," Haney said. "We've got six 'Lee's (on the LPGA tour),'" Johnson said. Hank continued: "Honestly, Michelle Wie is hurt. I don't know anybody. Where are they playing by the way?" Haney most notably worked with Tiger Woods from 2004-10.

Forty years ago, Jimmy Al-Daoud, 41, came from Greece to the U.S. legally as a 6-month-old baby, along with his Iraqi Christian parents, who were refugees. The Hazel Park resident struggled with mental illness, homelessness and was convicted 20 times of crimes such as stealing power tools, assault and marijuana possession. In 2005 and 2018, an immigration judge ordered him removed from the U.S. despite the fact he had lived in the U.S. almost his entire life. On June 2, agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported him to Iraq after a federal appeals court decision in April opened the door for Iraqi deportations. This week, Al-Daoud died in Iraq after struggling as a homeless man on the streets of Najaf and Baghdad to find insulin he needed for his diabetic condition, according to friends, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and U.S. Rep. Andy Levin, D-Michigan. For the past two years, Iraqi-American Christian leaders in Michigan have said that deporting Chaldeans back to Iraq would be a virtual death sentence. Al-Daoud's death on Tuesday has confirmed their fears, say advocates. "Jimmy Al-Daoud, a Chaldean resident of Oakland County, should have never been sent to Iraq," said Levin. "For many reasons, it was clear that deporting Jimmy to a country where he had never been, had no identification, had no family, had no knowledge of geography or customs, did not speak the language and ultimately, had no access to medical care, would put his life in extreme danger. Jimmy died tragically yesterday of a diabetic crisis. His death could have and should have been prevented." ICE officials told the Free Press on Thursday that Al-Daoud cut off his tether in December and had absconded until police caught him in April for vehicle larceny. ICE said they provided him with enough medication to ensure his care when they deported him in June. A video in June of Al-Daoud in Iraq that the ACLU says was taken by another deported Iraqi national shows him explaining how ICE agents deported him despite his pleas to stay. "I was deported 2½ weeks ago," he said in the video posted on Facebook, wearing a red shirt and sitting on the street. "I've been in the United States since 6 months old. ... Two and a half weeks ago, immigration agent pulled me over and said I'm going to Iraq. And I refused. I said I've never been there. I've been in this country my whole life. ... They refused to listen to me. ... They wouldn't let me call my family, nothing. ... I begged them, I said, 'Please, I've never seen that country. I've never been there.' However, they forced me." Al-Daoud described his stay in Iraq as confusing and desperate. "I don't understand the language," he said in the June video. "I've been sleeping in the streets. I'm diabetic. I take insulin shots. I've been throwing up, throwing up ... trying to find something to eat. I got nothing over here." Levin and the ACLU confirmed that the video is of Al-Daoud. Al-Daoud suffered "from mental health issues and had diabetes that required insulin twice per day," said ACLU Michigan spokeswoman Ann Mullen. "He died in part due to not having access to quality health care despite being able to periodically receive insulin." It's unclear whether Al-Daoud was born in Iraq or Greece, said the ACLU. Some documents show he was born in Greece, others in Iraq. Leaving Iraq, his parents "made their way to Greece, where they applied for refugee status in the U.S.," Mullen said. The family was in Greece just a few months before being admitted into the U.S. in 1979.

Spokesman Khaalid Walls said Al-Daoud entered the U.S. "lawfully in 1979, before violating the terms of his status due to several criminal convictions." Under law, legal immigrants can be deported if they commit certain crimes. ICE Detroit office said: "Al-Daoud has an extensive criminal history involving no less than twenty convictions between 1998-2017, to include assault with a dangerous weapon; assault and/or battery; domestic violence; contempt of court-failure to appear; breaking and entering; malicious destruction of a building; malicious destruction of property; assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a police officer; disorderly conduct; home invasion; possession of marijuana; larceny; breaking and entering a vehicle, and receiving and concealing stolen property." In 2008, Al-Daoud had a stroke of luck when he won $20,000 in a Michigan lottery contest called "Strike it Rich." But he continued to break the law. In 2012, Al-Daoud was arrested after he stole power tools from a garage in Ferndale, reported WWJ at the time. He was described in the story as a homeless man. A Michigan appeals court later threw out the conviction after he served his time because he had represented himself in court without the judge warning him of the risks, reported the Associated Press in 2015. ICE said that "Al-Daoud's immigration case underwent an exhaustive judicial review before the courts ultimately affirmed he had no legal basis to remain in the U.S. He was ordered removed from the United States to Iraq on Nov. 8, 2005." In 2017, Al-Daoud became part of the ACLU lawsuit filed against ICE to block the deportations. ICE had arrested about 1,400 Iraqi nationals living in the U.S., most with criminal convictions who had final orders of deportation. Before President Donald Trump took office, they were allowed to stay, but the Trump administration sought to remove them after striking a deal with Iraq to take them back. Many were able to have their cases reheard in immigration courts and temporarily had their deportations halted, but in December, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the ACLU, saying the deportations could not be blocked. In April, the full court refused to rehear the case, which means the deportations can continue. "He was later granted a motion to reopen his immigration case but was again ordered removed to Iraq on May 14, 2018," said ICE spokesman Walls. "Al-Daoud waived his right to appeal that decision." Levin said he's trying to help get Al-Daoud a Catholic burial in Iraq. Christians are a minority in Iraq, where they are increasingly persecuted. "At the moment, Iraqi authorities will not release Jimmy's body to a Catholic priest without extensive documentation from his family members in the U.S.," Levin said. "This seems to be a cruel irony, indeed. I am working with the Iraqi government to make sure this process happens as quickly and smoothly as possible." "Jimmy's death has devastated his family and us," said Miriam Aukerman, ACLU of Michigan senior staff attorney, who is litigating the Hamma v. Adducci lawsuit filed against ICE on behalf of Iraqi nationals. "We knew he would not survive if deported. What we don't know is how many more people ICE will send to their deaths." Aukerman said Al-Daoud was "sleeping on benches in Najaf with no food, no money, nothing but the clothes on his back." According to ICE Detroit officials, "Al-Daoud was released from ICE custody on Dec. 18, 2018, pursuant to a Nov. 20, 2018, federal court decision, which ordered the release of Iraqi nationals who had been detained for removal." Al-Daoud then "immediately absconded from ICE's noncustodial supervision program by cutting his GPS tether on the day of his release." ICE said he "remained an absconder until he was arrested by local law enforcement for larceny from a motor vehicle in April 2019. At his June 2, removal, he was supplied with a full complement of medicine to ensure continuity of care." Al-Daoud had first arrived in Najaf and then ended up in Baghdad, said Levin's office and the ACLU. In the June video taken a couple of weeks after his deportation   believed to be in Baghdad, according to Levin's office   Al-Daoud recounted being thrown off the property of a place where he was trying to sleep because he was homeless. "I was kicked in the back a couple of days ago," Al-Daoud said, by a man who told him to "get off the guy's property. I was sleeping on the ground. He claimed it was his property. I begged him, I said, 'please, I've never seen this country. I don't understand the language. Nobody speaks English.'

MEXICO CITY   The day-trippers swarmed onto the beach to watch one of nature's most extraordinary sights, hundreds of thousands of olive ridley sea turtles crawling out of the ocean to lay their eggs in the sand. The turtles did not want the company. Scared off by the thousands of tourists massed along Ostional Beach on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast, snapping selfies and perching their children on the turtles' backs, the ancient reptiles simply turned around and retreated into the sea. "It was a mess," said Yamileth Baltodano, a tour guide who was at the scene when the turtles were scared away two weeks ago. What happened during the first weekend in September was a one-time event, when a confluence of factors allowed the utterly unexpected to take place. But it was a cautionary tale for the conservationists charged with protecting the turtles, which are classified as vulnerable , not to mention a social media sensation. Now Costa Rican officials are scrambling to make sure it does not happen again. "We are reassessing the way we work and the way we tackle the issue," Mauricio Méndez, deputy director of the Tempisque Conservation Area, which includes Ostional Beach, said in a telephone interview on Friday. The olive ridley nesting season, from August through October, coincides with Costa Rica's rainy season, which ordinarily provides a natural barrier that protects the turtles. During that time, the beach is all but cut off by the flood tide of the swollen Nosara River, which blocks access on bridges. Even in the dry season, the beach is accessible only by a four-wheel-drive vehicle driven by a local guide. But this year, low rainfall caused by El Niño left the river all but dry, making passage to the beach easy. Mr. Méndez said officials were working on changes before the next arrival, expected on Oct. 4. He said he hoped to double the number of police officers and security guards, and even to bring in the Coast Guard. Groups will be allowed in only with guides and will be limited to the edges of the nesting area. Despite the commotion, turtles still managed to lay some eggs, perhaps at night. Mr. Méndez and his team found many more eggs than they expected after the frolicking tourists went home. "A tornado can be happening, and they will continue to deposit the eggs, carve it out, nest, and go back to sea," he said. The turtles, which lay their eggs during a three- to four-day period each month, began to arrive early on Sept. 4. Photographs of the phenomenon quickly began to spread on social media. From a distance, aboard a boat, Vanessa Bézy, a sea turtle biologist, watched in dismay as hordes of tourists clogged the beach, overwhelming the guards. "I almost had a panic attack because it was so crowded," said Ms. Bézy, a doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has been studying nesting behavior at Ostional Beach for five years. "It was basically a free-for-all." Get Today's Headlines by E-Mail Each Morning From The New York Times


The Green Bay Packers emerged as one of the teams most interested in supplemental draft prospect Jalen Thompson, a safety from Washington State with 39 career collegiate starts. But the Packers ended up passing on using a pick in the first four rounds on Thompson, who was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round. It's unclear if the Packers submitted a bid in the fifth round and were beat by the Cardinals, who had a higher priority in each round, or if the Packers simply passed on taking Thompson altogether. Either way, the Packers not getting Thompson in the supplemental draft should shift focus back to Natrell Jamerson, who will enter training camp as one of the most intriguing defensive backs on the roster. Thompson was so tempting for the Packers due to his coverage ability and versatility as a potential safety/slot cornerback hybrid. He would have been a strong fit for Mike Pettine as a defensive back who could play in the deep half or roam up to the line of scrimmage and handle man-to-man coverage responsibilities against a variety of positions. Luckily for Pettine, he has a similar player already on the roster in Jamerson, and the former fifth-round pick already has experience in the system. Throughout the offseason, Pettine and the Packers gave Jamerson opportunities to play safety and nickel cornerback. "He does have position flexibility. He's played out there (at safety). We know we can always put him back out there," Pettine said, via the team's official site . "He is playing some inside corner. He's played some nickel this spring. But he does have a solid skill set for safety. He's smart, he's tough, he's shown that he can tackle. I feel good about where he is going into training camp." There's certainly an opening for a player like Jamerson. The Packers are lacking depth behind starters Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage at safety, and the existing depth could erode further if Josh Jones - a disgruntled player wanting a trade - departs at some point this summer. While Raven Greene looks like a good bet to replace Jones as the hybrid safety/linebacker, there's no player behind the starters like Savage, who should be capable of playing deep and in the slot. Again, Jamerson fits the profile. The Packers certainly could have used Thompson in the defensive backs room, especially considering the depth at safety, but it'd be hard to blame GM Brian Gutekunst if he wanted to give Jamerson a legitimate chance to take the hybrid safety/cornerback role and run with it during training camp. The path for the former Badger to the roster is now clear this summer. In comparing each of their final seasons in college, Jamerson was graded higher overall than Thompson. Thompson with a slight advantage in coverage grade however. Jamerson 86.1 OVR 87.5 RUN 82.7 COV Thompson 82.0 OVR 70.4 RUN 85.1 COV Jamerson was also a 5th round pick. https://t.co/Zeo0fqhpxa - PFF GB Packers (@PFF_Packers) July 11, 2019 MORE: Chauncey Billups had a brutally honest take on why Carmelo Anthony isn't in the NBA Roundup: Nintendo Switch Lite, Best New Restaurants in America, Shannon Elizabeth on American Pie at 20 Connor Barwin doubles down on the Eagles being a perfect situation for him News: Believe in Maher at own risk, next Prescott ID'd, whew Larry Allen Bears' triplets rank 23rd in NFL entering 2019 season

Ever since the Seattle Seahawks handled the contract situations with Russell Wilson ( a record-breaking extension ) and Frank Clark ( a trade to the Chiefs ) all of the attention has been on star middle linebacker Bobby Wagner. Wagner, who is representing himself in contract negotiations, is expected to command a salary in the $17-18 million dollar range annually, a hefty sum but one that he has earned after yet another All-Pro performance last season. While Wagner is drawing all the attention, the Seahawks could turn attention to their other extension candidate - defensive tackle Jarran Reed, who is set to become a free agent after the 2019 season. Brock Huard, speaking on 710 ESPN on Tuesday morning , highlights a few reasons why he thinks the Seahawks should try to get a deal done with Reed before they focus on Wagner. "I think in many ways his deal is easier than Bobby's," Huard said of Reed. "You've got a pretty good range. If you want to know market value and where you sit, there at least are more data points for Jarran Reed and his agent and the Seahawks to work through, rather than the one outlier in Bobby Wagner's deal - that outlier being, obviously, C.J. Mosley in New York making $18 million a year." Huard goes on to talk about Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, who is currently holding out for a bigger contract which could reset the market for high-performing defensive tackles - like Reed. "We were chatting about this with John Clayton last week, and I said if you're the Seahawks, don't you want to get this deal done before Chris Jones in Kansas City?" Huard continued. "Kansas City pays a lot of money. We've seen that in what they paid Frank Clark. Chris Jones is a young player that's been a little more productive than Jarran. But what if he resets the market? You don't want that. Go get Jarran done when you've got a pretty decent range." Seattle has plenty of cap space to get extensions done for both Reed and Wagner, and if the Seahawks want to clear more room there are a handful of veterans they could cut to give them as much as $12 million in additional cap room. Although it could be nothing, Reed did tweet a rather cryptic message late Monday evening, which could hint at ongoing negotiations between him and the Seahawks. Stay tuned - jarran reed (@1j_reed) June 18, 2019 The Seahawks have until July 25 before training camp begins . The team typically likes to handle their in-house contract extensions during this window, so keep an eye out for updates on these two situations as they continue to develop.

The House Oversight Committee voted on Thursday to authorize subpoenas for business-related personal emails and text messages as part of a wide-ranging investigation into whether senior administration officials broke federal records laws by using private accounts for official purposes. Among the top targets of the straight party-line vote - President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner and former senior adviser Steve Bannon, among other officials. Republicans accused Democrats of "playing politics" before the August recess and argued that Ivanka Trump was complying with the law by turning over documents the committee requested. (MORE: Exclusive: Ivanka Trump defends use of private email, brushes aside Mueller probe) The meeting grew heated at times as lawmakers began arguing over Hillary Clinton's private email use. "Ivanka Trump is complying with the law," Ranking Member, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said. "Hillary Clinton never did." Committee chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., says the White House has only turned over a few pages of policy documents, "a commitment to conducting an internal review, and a promise to follow up with us when their internal review concluded." "To date," Cummings said, "The White House has never given us the results of their internal review and has never given us another document." The subpoena also include acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and aides on the National Security Council. It is unclear when the chairman will issue the subpoenas. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.


ISTANBUL, June 12 (Reuters) - Turkey has already bought S-400 defense systems from Russia and hopes they will be delivered in July, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday, an announcement likely to ratchet up tensions with Washington on the issue. "Turkey has already bought S-400 defense systems. It is a done deal. I hope these systems will be delivered to our country next month," Erdogan said. Turkey and the United States have sparred publicly for months over Ankara's order for the S-400s, which are not compatible with the NATO's systems. U.S. acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan outlined last week how Turkey would be pulled out of the F-35 fighter jet program unless Ankara changed course from its plans to purchase the S-400 missile defense system. Speaking at a meeting of his AK Party members, Erdogan said Turkey will hold to account anyone who excludes Turkey from the F-35 program. "We will hold to account Turkey's exclusion from F-35 program in every platform due to reasons without reason or legitimacy," Erdogan said. He noted that Turkey is also a manufacturing partner in the program. Erdogan also said he wanted to talk about the issue on the phone with the United States, before he meets President Donald Trump in Osaka, Japan at the end of this month. Russia said on Tuesday it plans to deliver its S-400s to Turkey in July, setting the clock ticking on a U.S. threat to hit Ankara with sanctions if it goes ahead with the deal.


When Carol Sauvageot was 59, she started feeling anxious . Soon, she noticed she struggled to write and her handwriting had become smaller and smaller. The normally healthy and active Sauvageot felt worried. She thought she had Parkinson's disease and visited seven different doctors for answers. They recommended she see a psychiatrist. "I had told them I thought I had Parkinson's and they totally, basically dismissed it," she told TODAY. "They just didn't think that was it." Doctors prescribed medication for her anxiety and physical therapy. But she kept pushing for answers. After 11 months, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. "It was frustrating. We wasted a lot of time, a lot of money. I'm not sure all that was necessary if they had just listened a little bit more," she said about her encounter six years ago. Sauvageot's experience is not unique. Women often tell their doctors about concerning symptoms only to be ignored. NBC News special anchor Maria Shriver explored the bias against women in health care in a segment for TODAY's series Dismissed . "We know that women have a higher rate of misdiagnoses, later diagnoses. Their symptoms are often under-recognized," Dr. Fiona Gupta, a neurologist at Mount Sinai in New York City, told TODAY. "And then I have a lot of patients who were told that their experiences were psychosomatic or in your head." Shriver found there are several reasons women's illnesses go unnoticed. Doctors often do not detect illnesses in women because they often put their health second. Too often, women often think that visiting their OB/GYN for a mammogram and Pap smear   what's colloquially known as a "bikini physical"   means they're healthy. For many, that's the only medical care they receive. A study of more than 45,000 women found more than half only visit their OB/GYN. Less than 6% visited a primary care physician. Health & Wellness "A comprehensive health checkup really should encompass a regular gynecology checkup and an internal medicine... well woman exam that's expanded beyond the bikini area," Dr. Chrisandra Shufelt, director of the Women's Hormone and Menopause Program at Cedars-Sinai, told TODAY. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also recommends women visit a primary care physician to help them detect and manage other health conditions, including: Heart Disease Cognitive and mental health Cancer risk Diabetes risk Bone density Vaccinations Regular checkups remain extremely important for spotting and treating illnesses, especially when doctors already struggle to diagnose women. A study from the University of Copenhagen found Danish women received a diagnosis about four years later than men for diseases such as cancer and diabetes. "Women make up half of the U.S. population," Gupta said. "Yet when it comes to their health, women are not being treated equally." Doctors sometimes overlook women's symptoms because they can present in other ways than men's do. "Even the diagnostic tools that we use for, let's say, heart health, symptoms we know are different," Shufelt said. "Women are not little men. Every cell in our body is different. It has different genetic makeup." What's more, women do not explain their symptoms like men might. "There's a lot to learn about gender and sex differences on how we present ourselves, even to the doctor," Shufelt said. But there are things women can do to become advocates for their health. The experts recommend that women try the following: Keep a health journal: This comprehensive log should include days and times of symptoms. Send the journal before appointments: that way the doctor has all important prior to appointments. Stick to your gut: Question your diagnosis or treatment if it does not feel right. Seek a second opinion: If you feel ignored, seek another opinion or find a new doctor.


NEW YORK   New York state's attorney general, who promised during her campaign to investigating the National Rifle Association's nonprofit status, has begun an investigation into the finances of the gun owners' group, her spokeswoman said Saturday. "The Office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation related to the National Rifle Association (NRA)," spokeswoman Kelly Donnelly said in an email. "As part of this investigation, the Attorney General has issued subpoenas." William A. Brewer, the NRA's outside lawyer, says the organization "will fully cooperate with any inquiry into its finances." He added, "The NRA is prepared for this, and has full confidence in its accounting practices and commitment to good governance." James, a Democrat, had vowed during her campaign last year to investigate the NRA's not-for-profit status if elected. "I will use the constitutional power as an attorney general to regulate charities, that includes the NRA, to investigate their legitimacy," she said at a July 12 rally. News of the investigation came as a struggle for leadership of the NRA erupted at the gun lobby's annual convention in Indianapolis. Iran-Contra figure Oliver North announced Saturday that he would not serve a second term as the NRA's president. The move followed North's failed attempt to remove longtime NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre. The factional rift within the NRA was fueled in part by the threatened New York investigation. The group began a review of all its contractors last summer after James promised to investigate. The review led the NRA to sue its longtime public relations firm, Oklahoma-based Ackerman McQueen, which some NRA officials complained was refusing to turn over financial records. North had taken the firm's side in the legal battle. The NRA has clashed repeatedly with New York elected officials aiming to curb the organization's influence. The group filed a lawsuit last year against Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other state officials after New York fined insurance broker Lockton Cos. LLC $7 million for underwriting an NRA-branded insurance program called Carry Guard.


Slideshow by Reuters Former special counsel Robert Mueller admitted that he and former FBI Director James Comey were both "business associates" and "friends" during his testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee. Mueller appeared before the committee Wednesday to testify about his two-year long investigation, which concluded that no member of the Trump campaign knowingly conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. However, the former special counsel refused to determine whether or not the president obstructed justice, following a Department of Justice guideline that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Mueller admitted at the time to his friendship with Comey while being questioned by Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert. "A 2013 puff piece in the Washingtonian about Comey said basically when Comey called, you'd drop everything you were doing. It gave examples. You were having dinner your wife and daughter, Comey calls, you drop everything and go," Gohmert began. "The article quoted Comey as saying if a train were coming down the track and 'At least Bob Mueller will be standing on the tracks with me.' You and James Comey have been good friends and were good friends for many years, correct?" "We were business associates. We both started off in the Justice Department," Mueller responded. The congressman followed up, "You were good friends. You can work together and not be friends, but you and Comey were friends." Mueller added, "We were friends." "That's my question. Thank you for getting to the answer. Now before you were appointed as special counsel, had you talked to James Comey in the preceding six months?" Gohmert asked. Mueller said he hadn't.

It is an unusual spot in the roof but this cheap fix isn't the right solution. Maybe they ran out of gutters when they repurposed them into planters like this.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be getting a much-needed day off today from practice, but that doesn't mean the wheel of the NFL machine has stopped turning. The Bucs went ahead and made a number of roster moves today, perhaps most notable of which was their waving of safety Orion Stewart, who was injured recently in practice. He was waived with an injury designation. Here are some of the new additions to the team. We have signed WR Matthew Eaton and TE Scott Orndoff and claimed T William Poehls off waivers. https://t.co/NKM2eoddyw - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers) July 31, 2019 Along with Stewart, the Bucs waived tight end Donnie Ernsberger and tackle Riley Mayfield. Eaton and Orndoff are joining an already crowded group of receivers. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Breshad Perriman make up the primary receivers, along with second-year man Justin Watson and rookie Scotty Miller. With the tight ends, you've got O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate as the incumbents. It'll be tough for these new guys to find playing time, but, practice squad is always a route worth taking if offered.

Twitter apologized Monday that for inadvertently collecting and sharing location data of users with a "trusted partner," adding that the issue had been fixed and the company is "working hard to make sure it does not happen again." "You trust us to be careful with your data, and because of that, we want to be open with you when we make a mistake," Twitter wrote in a statement . "We have discovered that we were inadvertently collecting and sharing iOS location data with one of our trusted partners in certain circumstances." Specifically, Twitter announced that it had unintentionally collected the location data of iOS users that had more than one account and had opted to use a location feature on one of these accounts. Twitter said in some cases, it may have collected the location information for an account no authorized for location features if the user was on the same device for both accounts. It was not clear how many Twitter users may have been affected. Twitter said it had also accidentally sent user location data to a third-party company during the "real time bidding" advertising process, noting that the data have since been deleted as part of the third-party company's "normal process." Twitter said that all of the users impacted by the data privacy incident have been contacted to let them know this issue has been fixed, and urged all users to check their privacy settings to make sure they were sharing only the information they wanted to with Twitter. "We're very sorry this happened," Twitter wrote. "We recognize and appreciate the trust you place in us and are committed to earning that trust every day."

Add another tight end and corner to the list of players trying to make the 90-man roster. Something in Tampa Bay has changed the way Bruce Arians feels about tight ends. Because he currently has a ton of them for a coach who hasn't really involved the position in great detail. The Bucs added another one to the list one Wednesday, signing Troy Niklas , a second-pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2014. Former USF CB Mazzi Wilkins was signed, as well. There were other roster moves, although these weren't as pleasant. Tampa Bay waived both wide receiver Xavier Ubosi , who was recently placed on the Active/Physically Unable To Perform List and cornerback Jalen Allison . Bucs announce that they've signed former Cardinals tight end Troy Niklas, waiving rookie receiver Xavier Ubosi. They also confirm what we reported Tuesday, with rookie corner Mazzi Wilkins signed from USF, replacing rookie corner Jalen Allison, who was waived-injured.   Greg Auman (@gregauman) July 24, 2019 Niklas has appeared in 41 games, starting 18 of them. He has 19 career catches for 203 yards and 3 touchdowns in his five-year career and finished the 2019 season with a career-high 11 catches for 132 yards that also included one touchdown reception. Wilkins finished his four-year career at USF with three interceptions, 110 combined tackles, and 0.5 sacks. The former Plant High School graduate is looking to make his make during training camp. According to buccaneers.com , Tampa Bay now rosters six corners (not including Wilkins) and seven tight ends, but cornerback Ryan Smith will serve a four-game suspension to start the 2019 season, so that presents an opportunity for Wilkins to snag his roster spot if his play allows.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Iran is ready for "just" negotiations but not if they mean surrender, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday, without saying what talks he had in mind. Rouhani seemed to be referring to possible negotiations with the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from a landmark 2015 nuclear deal with Iran last year but has said he is willing to hold talks with the Islamic Republic. "As long as I have the responsibility for the executive duties of the country, we are completely ready for just, legal and honest negotiations to solve the problems," Rouhani said, according to his official website. "But at the same time we are not ready to sit at the table of surrender under the name of negotiations." (Reporting By Babak Dehghanpisheh; Editing by Gareth Jones)


Fiat Chrysler has withdrawn an offer for a merger-of-equals with Groupe Renault. People close to the negotiations are pointing the finger at what they described as meddling by the French government.

Fiat Chrysler has withdrawn an offer for a merger-of-equals with Groupe Renault, and people close to the negotiations between the two companies are pointing the finger at what they described as meddling by the France government. The sudden move was announced in a statement released by the Italian-American automaker shortly after midnight European time that said that, while Fiat Chrysler management remained "firmly convinced" of the rationale behind the proposed merger, "it has become clear that the political conditions in France do not currently exist for such a combination to proceed successfully." Fiat Chrysler's decision to withdraw the proposal came suddenly: The two companies, less than three hours earlier, were preparing to issue a joint statement that said the merger plans were going to move ahead after receiving approval from the Renault board, according to a senior-level source closely briefed on the talks between the two companies. "We went in different directions very rapidly," that person explained to CNBC. "It turned on a dime." Fiat Chrysler made its original merger proposal on May 27 following months of discussions between the two companies. They had initially started discussing more limited measures, including the joint development of new product platforms, CNBC previously reported. But, as the contacts escalated, it became apparent to top managers   including FCA CEO Mike Manley and his Renault counterpart Jean-Dominique Senard   that they had an opportunity to take the ultimate step and combine forces. There was relatively little overlap in product lines and each company had strengths that could compensate for the other's weaknesses, many analysts said after studying the proposal. Fiat Chrysler, for one, had the powerful Jeep and Ram brands, while Renault is a leader in the development of autonomous and electrified vehicles. The French automaker's board quickly expressed initial interest in the merger proposal, something analysts said was of little surprise since they had been talking to one another for months. It was widely expected to give more formal approval on Tuesday, according to industry observers, but the initial board meeting went by without a resolution, extending into Wednesday. From the start, several potential obstacles emerged. That included Renault's long-standing alliance with Japanese automakers Nissan and Mitsubishi. The relationship has been strained since former Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance chief Carlos Ghosn was arrested last November on financial corruption charges, with a number of observers questioning whether that was actually the result of Nissan's desire to gain more control in the three-way partnership. There have been some concerns about the merger raised by the Japanese, an auto industry veteran with lengthy ties to Chrysler, Nissan and Renault said by email, but that was not likely to scuttle the deal. If anything, said the person closely briefed on the negotiations who spoke with CNBC, Nissan had expressed interest in the deal and the potential benefits to the Japanese automaker. In its original merger proposal, Fiat Chrysler outlined 5 billion euros in potential synergies, 1 billion of that set to accrue to Nissan and Mitsubishi. 'Cumulative demands and pressures' Instead, Fiat Chrysler's proposal began to break down as a result of "cumulative demands and pressures" from the French government, said the insider briefed on the talks. That began just hours after the original proposal was announced, with France's finance minister laying out three key demands, including the need to preserve all of the Renault jobs and plants in France. That expanded to include demands covering the location of the merged company's headquarters and the make-up of its board, the insider explained, adding that "the final one" was the French government's demand that the Renault board delay making a decision for another week to allow for further consultations with Nissan and Mitsubishi. "There was a clear, growing realization that this is not an environment in which the proposal can come together," the Fiat Chrysler source said, noting the irony that there remains "a very cordial relationship" between the two companies, and, in particular, between CEOs Manley and Senard. Renault's 66-year-old chief executive is now finding himself "in a very difficult position," said the industry veteran who has been linked to several of the carmakers. Senard was pushed into the post by the French government   which holds a 15% stake in the automaker   after former Renault CEO Ghosn tendered his resignation, but now finds himself on the outs as a strong supporter of the merger proposal. "It's unfortunate this proposal failed so quickly," said Karl Brauer, an analyst with Kelley Blue Book, "though it's better than having it drag on for weeks or months and then fail. What will happen next is uncertain, the Fiat Chrysler insider said one should "never say never," and it is possible that clearer heads could prevail, though it is unlikely the merger proposal would quickly be revived. Fiat Chrysler could also look at other merger possibilities   news reports earlier this year suggested the company might want to tie up with the other major French automaker, PSA. CEO Manley, meanwhile, said he was more than willing to continue operating independently during a media round table at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last January.


The NBA offseason was a wild one for the Boston Celtics. Out were talented veterans such as Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, Marcus Morris, and Terry Rozier and in are Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter among others. The Celtics will see one of those veterans early as they will welcome Rozier back to the TD Garden with the Charlotte Hornets on October 6 per Chris Forsberg of NBA Sports Boston. Rozier spent four seasons in Boston and he helped lead them to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2018 when Irving was injured. This past season when Irving returned from his injury, Rozier was pushed back to the bench and averaged nine points per game and he left for Charlotte in free agency. Terry Rozier returns to TD Garden on Oct. 6 for a preseason game vs. the Celtics. Preseason dates have been trickling out lately. Other known Celtics preseason games: Oct. 11 in Orlando. - Chris Forsberg (@ChrisForsberg_) August 1, 2019 Walker, on the other hand, will be facing off with the only NBA team he's ever known. He spent eight seasons with the Hornets and became their all-time leading scorer. There will be some emotions running early in preseason as the two teams prepare for a 2019-20 season that has the two teams on different paths.
