Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury expected it soon and it was exactly that. Outside linebacker Brooks Reed was activated Saturday morning from the physically unable to perform list. He began training camp on PUP with a hip injury. Reed will not be able to practice with the team Saturday afternoon. His return will add a body to the group of outside linebackers. He is expected to be a rotational player behind projected starters Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs. He enters his ninth NFL season and first with the Cardinals. Arizona signed him after he was released by the Atlanta Falcons in the offseason. Listen to the latest from Cards Wire's Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.

As Detroit police advance the use of controversial facial recognition technology, citizens can make their opinions on surveillance heard at a police meeting Thursday. The Detroit Police Commissioners Board will meet at 6:30 p.m. at St. John's Lutheran Church to lead a community discussion on the technology. "21st century policing was supposed to be the blueprint to help communities and law enforcement agencies across the country to strengthen trust and collaboration while continuing to reduce crime," a flyer for the discussion reads. "But in 2019, is 21st century policing becoming the end to personal privacy?" Detroit is one of two cities, including Chicago, to invest in facial recognition technology for policing purposes, according to a May report from Georgetown University. Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban its government from using facial recognition technology. Detroit's expansive surveillance initiatives started in 2016, when the city implemented Project Green Light . The program placed security cameras, which provide a live feed to the Detroit Police Department's Real Time Crime Center, in over 500 Detroit gas stations, churches, apartment complexes, senior living communities and more . A year later, Detroit signed a $1 million contract with DataWorks Plus, a surveillance vendor whose technology can allow the city to monitor and screen live video, according to the Georgetown report. In a May 14 response to the Georgetown report , Detroit Police Chief James Craig wrote that the city was only using facial recognition technology on still images, not on Green Light's live video feeds. "If I have not made it clear by now, DPD does not violate the constitutional rights of citizens," Craig wrote. "As emphasized in our policies, the facial recognition software is only utilized within the ambits and parameters of the law to assist law enforcement in reports of criminal activity." Detroit's policy for the use of the technology states that the DPD "may connect the face recognition system to any interface that performs live video, including cameras, drone footage, and body-worn cameras." DPD Assistant Chief Dave LeValley echoed Craig's letter in a statement to the Free Press, saying DPD does not use the technology on live video: "Videos fed into the Real Time Crime Center are used only to obtain still images of an individual suspected in a criminal offense for purposes of identifying the suspect. Those still images are used to search known databases or repositories of criminal mugshots, state driver's license photographs, and state identification card photographs. Any images taken during a First Amendment-protected public event, activity, or affiliation would only be used under exigent circumstances that would require the express approval of the Chief or his designee and a report to the Board of Police Commissioners after such use." Scrutiny of facial recognition has come from places like the U.S. House of Representatives, where U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Justin Amash have participated in hearings to examine the technology's use. "With little to no input, the city of Detroit created one of the nation's most pervasive and sophisticated surveillance networks with real-time facial recognition technology," Tlaib said at a May 22 hearing. "Detroit's $1 million face-scanning system is now tracking our residents on hundreds of public and private cameras." In a series of May and June hearings this year, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, including Tlaib, questioned government agencies on facial recognition technology, pushing for greater transparency in how and when the technology is used. "My residents in the 13th congressional (district) are burdened with challenges that most Americans couldn't bear themselves, and laid on top of these economic challenges and structural racism ... is the fact that policing our communities has become more militarized and flawed," Tlaib said during the hearing. "Now we have for-profit companies pushing so-called 'technology' that has never been tested in communities of color, let alone been studied enough to conclude that it makes our communities safer." The Georgetown report also criticized Detroit's system for placing surveillance cameras at institutions like Summit Medical Center, a Detroit clinic that provides private services like abortions and STD testing.

Joey Logano will start from the Busch Pole for the second straight week in Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway (2 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). Does the reigning Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion merit a spot in your Fantasy Live lineup? We've dissected the numbers to offer a suggested lineup worthy of your Fantasy Live consideration. PLAY NOW: Set your lineup | How the game works | Tips to set your lineup RJ Kraft's Fantasy Live lineup for race day at Michigan: 1. Joey Logano 2. Kevin Harvick 3. Clint Bowyer 4. Kurt Busch 5. Paul Menard Garage: Erik Jones RELATED: Odds for Michigan | 10-lap averages | Podcast: Fantasy Fastlane Analysis: Logano and Harvick are my cornerstones   based on past Michigan history and their overall solid performances in 2019. With the two of them in my lineup, I don't want to overload on some of the higher scoring drivers in 2019 for fear that if things go wrong or drivers underform, I can only get one of them out. This is something to consider as we move deeper in the regular season. That means, Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski take a seat. I wanted to use Chase Elliott here with his strong Michigan numbers, but the speed just doesn't seem to be there this weekend. Martin Truex Jr. was another consideration for me, but I like a number of other summer tracks for him. Bowyer is the defending race winner and has had strong speed all weekend long. He's also been pretty steady for the past two-plus months. Busch has been strong on the 10-lap board this weekend, had the second-best 20-lap average ( h/t@MikeJoy500 ) and has been solid at this 2-mile track before. Menard qualified well   sixth   and posted the fifth-best 10-lap average in opening practice. He finished fifth in this race last year and his overall Michigan numbers show its among his better tracks. I also have yet to use him so I like the idea of him as a driver who can help me save a use elsewhere. Jones gets the garage spot on the strength of his top-three spot in both practices on the 10-lap board. I gave some extra consideration to Aric Almirola and Ryan Blaney for this spot, but I just have a gut feeling on the Joe Gibbs Racing driver performing well at home. For bonus picks, I've got Logano winning Stage 1 and then Harvick the rest of the way and Ford for the manufacturer pick. Each week in this space, we'll also highlight two Props Challenge items for players. MORE: Need Props help? The Action Network has you covered | Play the Props Challenge today 1. O/U 28.5 stage points for Team Penske. I'm taking the over. I expect Logano to nab top-three finishes in each stage meaning that Keselowski and Blaney need to score 5-7 stage points apiece to make this work. That's something both drivers have done plenty of times in the past and something that they are more than capable of doing in the Irish Hills. 2. Which Hendrick Motorsports driver will finish higher: William Byron or Jimmie Johnson? Johnson had the better 10-lap averages in both practices and qualified slightly better. This duo has finished higher than the other seven times apiece, so this is pretty even and a close call. I like the second-year driver Byron to finish just higher than the seven-time champion on Sunday. ]]>


Stewart-Haas Racing dominated Busch Pole Qualifying at Kansas Speedway on Friday, with Kevin Harvick leading the way to his third pole of the season. Harvick, the defending race winner, moved his No. 4 Ford around the 1.5-mile track at 179.217 mph. It is Harvick's 28th pole of his career. RELATED: Unofficial qualifying results All three of Harvick's SHR teammates followed right behind him: Aric Almirola was second in the No. 10 (178.725 mph), Clint Bowyer was third in the No. 14 (178.324 mph) and Daniel Suarez was fourth in the No. 41 (178.247 mph). Chase Elliott was the fastest non-SHR car, and will start fifth in the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, after wheeling around the track at 177.954 mph. The qualifying session marked the second time this season using single-vehicle, one-round runs. Cars are impounded after qualifying, with pre-race inspection taking place Saturday in advance of the Digital Ally 400 (7:30 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

It's been 16 years since 26-year-old Jason Galehouse was killed in a ruthless murder. Steven Lorenzo is one of the men believed to be responsible. He's been charged with murder, indicted, but a judge hasn't convicted him. "I just don't know how much further they can take this! I mean this has to be the longest case of anybody for a crime," said Jason's mother, Pam Williams. Not a day goes by that Williams doesn't think of her son. He and other young gay men were lured to a Tampa home, drugged, tortured and killed. "It's one thing when they tell you your son was murdered, or your son was in an accident and he's dead, but to say that he's been cut up in pieces, wrapped in a garbage bag, and dumped in dumpsters," said Williams. The details are so horrific they almost seem fictional, but Williams said that's been her reality for 16 years. "I've been through breast cancer twice now and I always live long enough to see him get the death penalty before I go," she said. "I want the death penalty. Nothing less, no deals, the death penalty." It won't bring her back her son, but Williams wants Jason to know she fought for him until the end. "I'm sorry you had to wait so long for this, but hopefully you'll be in peace," said Williams. Lorenzo was in court Thursday. His trial was set to take place this coming October, but it was delayed again. The next time he'll be in the courtroom will be April 2020.

Virpi Mikkonen, cookbook author and plant-based food blogger at Vanelja, recently announced her decision to eat meat and other animal products again. The Finnish entrepreneur said her decade of following a mostly vegan diet led to health concerns like a rash, period loss, and early menopause. After quitting veganism, she says, "I feel energetic, motivated. I'm sleeping better, the hot flushes, and aching in my body have stopped." Creating gorgeous and delicious healthy plant-based swaps for traditional comfort foods made Finnish blogger Virpi Mikkonen and her vegan food blog an overnight success. However, the vegan diet that launched her career also seemed to be making her sick. At 37 years old, Virpi suffered from early menopause (FYI the average woman enters menopause around 51). "It was a huge thing to think, this is where my fertility stops," she told The Daily Mail . She also said she felt burned-out, lost her period , and developed a rash on her face early last year. Rightfully concerned, Virpi visited a Chinese medicine specialist who gave the proud plant-based advocate some shocking advice: to stop eating so much raw food and start eating animal products again. Virpi didn't hesitate. She added in eggs for breakfast, organic meatballs or chicken for lunch, and broth in her dinner. It worked. "It's amazing," Virpi told The Daily Mail . "I feel energetic, motivated. I'm sleeping better, the hot flushes, and aching in my body have stopped." She also said her periods have returned. Still, the formerly vegan blogger isn't totally trashing a plant-based way of life. Virpi told The Daily Mail , "The problem was not being vegan, per se, it was the vegan diet and my stressful lifestyle." Virpi is far from the only famous face to ditch a plant-based diet recently, though. In fact, Anne Hathaway opened up about her choice to incorporate fish in her formerly vegan diet. She said that while she was vegan, "I just didn't feel good or healthy...not strong." "Some people need animal products for them to be healthy," Virpi told the Daily Mail . "No one diet is going to suit everyone." Virpi is still waiting for the right moment to explain her diet swap on her platforms. "Vegans can be really judgmental," she said. Btw: There may be animal products on her plate morning, noon, and night, but you still won't find any in Virpi's recipes or on her Instagram feed. She'll continue to focus on producing a rainbow of fan-favorite smoothies, creative salads, and drool-worthy vegan desserts for her fans.

Angels two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani blasted his first homer of the season on Monday, unleashing a 429-foot moonshot in the third inning against the Twins. Sho Time is BACK (via @FoxSportsWest ) pic.twitter.com/uKUi7ted2S   Sports Illustrated (@SInow) May 14, 2019 Ohtani returned from the Injured List on May 7 after missing the start of the season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery . The Japanese star suffered a grade 2 UCL strain in June 2018, but continued to hit for Los Angeles when he came off injured list in July. He made his final pitching appearance last season on Sept. 2 before an MRI revealed additional UCL damage , prompting him to undergo surgery to repair the ligament in the offseason. Although he is able to hit, Ohtani will not appear on the mound in 2019 as he continues to recover from the procedure. Ohtani won the AL Rookie of the Year in 2018. He tallied 22 homers and 61 RBI at the plate, slashing .285/.361/.925. Ohtani also shined on the mound, posting a 3.31 ERA in 10 starts. The Angels entered Tuesday night second in the AL West at 19 21. They have not won a playoff game since 2009. Related slideshow: The 2019 MLB season (Provided by imagn)

The 2020 Lincoln Corsair is the luxury brand's new compact crossover , replacing the MKC at the base of Lincoln's crossover lineup. The new Corsair brings with it styling and technology shared with Lincoln's larger Aviator and Navigator . Although it has a new name and is fully redesigned, the Corsair bears similarity to the MKC not just in size, but in the fact it shares its underpinnings with the 2020 Ford Escape . There are noteworthy differences that distinguish the Lincoln from the Ford , though. Related Video: 2020 Lincoln Corsair is a stylish and tech-filled luxury crossover (Provided by Roadshow) As the Lincoln Corsair was only just unveiled at the 2019 New York Auto Show , there are some key facts and figures still unannounced. We also haven't had the opportunity to drive it yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't a great deal of useful information to consider. What's new for 2020? As we mentioned, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair is all-new, and its chassis comes from the also completely redesigned 2020 Ford Escape . The design clearly borrows heavily from the Navigator and Aviator with a tall, blunt nose, proud grille, subtle creases and a swept-back roofline. Despite sharing its platform, the Corsair looks quite different from the Escape . Powering the Corsair are 2.0- and 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines like in the MKC, but output is slightly altered (more on the powertrains later). An eight-speed automatic replaces the MKC's six-speed. Lincoln has said that hybrid versions of the Corsair will be announced later, but no details are available yet. The interior is completely redesigned, once again in the vein of the Navigator and Aviator. There are a number of new technology features now available with the Corsair. What's the Corsair's interior and in-car technology like? The Corsair's interior is a highlight of the new crossover. It has a low, wide dashboard and a nice blend of materials including leather, bright metal, and wood. Unique to the Corsair are full-width-style air vents, a center stack that juts out from the dash, and special color combinations including a dark turquoise design. The main touch screen now stands upright and proud of the dashboard, as is the custom nowadays, and the instrument panel can be replaced by a 12.3-inch display. Lincoln's 24-way power seats are a new option it takes from the bigger, more expensive Lincolns. Back seat passengers can have an optional manually sliding and reclining rear seat. The Corsair also has the option of using your cell phone as your key, and distributing codes to other people. Your preferred radio, climate, seat and drive mode settings can all be saved to your phone key. Codes can even be given temporarily and limited if you need to give someone access to your car. Other more conventional tech options include a head-up display, adaptive suspension and safety features such as lane centering, adaptive cruise control, rear automatic emergency braking and automatic parking. How big is the new Corsair? The Corsair falls in-between subcompact and compact luxury crossovers. It's larger on the outside than the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class and BMW X1 for example, but it's a bit smaller than the Mercedes GLC-Class , BMW X3 , Acura RDX and Audi Q5 . It does lean a little closer to those larger models than the small ones, though. Despite being a little smaller outside than the GLC and X3 , it has more legroom both front and rear and similar headroom and shoulder room. Its cargo space is also close, beating the GLC and landing just shy of the X3. The dimensions are very similar to its domestic rival, the Cadillac XT4 . What's the Corsair's performance and fuel economy? As with the MKC, the Corsair gets two turbocharged engines, a 2.0-liter and a 2.3-liter. The 2.0-liter makes 5 more horsepower than the old one for 250 total and the same 275 pound-feet of torque. The 2.3-liter engine is down 5 horsepower to 280, but it makes 5 more pound-feet of torque for a total of 310. Front-wheel drive is standard on the 2.0-liter models with all-wheel drive as an option while the 2.3-liter versions get all-wheel drive as standard. Both use an eight-speed automatic. No fuel economy numbers are available for the Corsair yet, but we expect them to be a bit improved over the MKC, in part due to the eight-speed automatic that likely has some tall, fuel-saving ratios for highway driving. For reference, the MKC's best fuel economy was 23 mpg combined for the front-drive 2.0-liter model and the worst was 20 combined for the 2.3-liter model with all-wheel drive. Lincoln has said hybrid powertrains are coming, but no details have been given. There's a good chance it will use the same naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four with an electric motor as in the Ford Escape. But it's also possible Lincoln will use a higher-performance combination as is the case with the Aviator and Explorer hybrids. What's the new Corsair like to drive? We haven't had an opportunity to drive the Lincoln Corsair, so we don't know how it drives yet. But we will update this section once we've had time behind the wheel. Where can I read more about the Corsair? 2020 Lincoln Corsair revealed with baby Aviator looks The reveal story complete with photos from the show and detailed information about the Corsair. 2020 Lincoln Corsair vs 2019 Cadillac XT4: How they compare on paper We compare the Lincoln Corsair's specifications with its crosstown competition, the Cadillac XT4. What features are available and what's the Corsair's price? Pricing hasn't been announced for the Lincoln Corsair, but since it's a direct replacement to the MKC, it will likely have similar pricing. The base MKC starts at $34,990, so the Corsair will likely be priced near that same $35,000 level. Lincoln has revealed a number of noteworthy features that come standard. All Corsairs will get active noise cancellation, heated mirrors, a 10-way power heated memory driver seat, proximity keys and push-button start, LED headlights, power hatchback and remote start. Optional features worth mentioning are the 12.3-inch instrument display, adaptive suspension, head-up display, heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, power folding seats with manual sliding, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging, rain-sensing wipers, automatic parking and a 14-speaker sound system. What are Corsair's safety equipment and crash ratings? The Lincoln Corsair has not been given a crash test rating by NHTSA or IIHS . We will update this section when safety data is available. We can tell you about features it comes with though. Every Corsair gets automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, a rear-view camera and cross-traffic alert. Optional safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane-centering, a 360-degree camera, and rear automatic emergency braking. 2020 Lincoln Corsair | Everything we know so far originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 01 May 2019


For the first time in his career, Shane Lowry is a major champion. Lowry becomes the second Irish golfer, following Pádraig Harrington, to win the British Open. He shot a 15-under par for the tournament and his win was set up by a record-setting third round 63 on Saturday. Lowry entered the final round with a four-stroke lead and never relented, cruising to a six-stroke win over Tommy Fleetwood while overcoming a strong wind and the looming threat of inclement weather, which caused Sunday's tee times to be moved up. He had his worst round of the tournament on Sunday, bogeying five holes and shooting 1-over par, but it didn't matter. The struggles from everyone else at the top gave Lowry what was essentially a stress free victory.

The conditions made it a tough day overall for most golfers on Royal Portrush, as only two of the top-10 finishers shot under par on Sunday. 2018 winner Francesco Molinari had the best round of the day, shooting a 5 under to finish in a tie for 11th.

New York became the sixth state to ban the so-called gay and trans "panic" defense Sunday, as millions of revelers celebrated WorldPride in Manhattan. The panic defense asks a jury to find that a victim's sexual orientation or gender identity is to blame for a defendant's violent reaction, including even murder. "New York has always been the home of the LGBTQ equality movement, always," said Gov. Andrew Cuomo, signing the ban into law. "It all started here. It started at Stonewall. It started when we hosted the first Pride Day ever. And we've kept that legacy alive. This is the leading State in the United States of America for LGBTQ equality." New York follows California, Rhode Island, Illinois, Nevada and Connecticut to pass such a law. Signing the legislation was "the best way to kick off the #PrideNYC march," Cuomo tweeted. One of the nation's most recognized cases in which the strategy was applied is that of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay Wyoming college student who was beaten and left hanging on a fence post by two men in 1998. One of the defendants argued that he acted out of fear generated by an alleged sexual advance by Shepard, who died five days after the assault. New York City is playing host to WorldPride, the largest LGBTQ celebration in the world. It's the first time WorldPride is being held in the US, and it's taking place during the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, generally highlighted as the flashpoint that started the modern gay-rights movement. Correction: A previous version of this story misstated Gov. Andrew Cuomo's first name. It has been fixed.


It really feels like, depending on which NFL pundit you listen to, the Pittsburgh Steelers are either going to cruise to the AFC North title or wallow in a .500 season. There can literally be no in between. The weight of the changes to the roster are huge and if things don't turn around this season, plenty of people will be getting in a nice round of "I told ya so's" to Pittsburgh and their fans. Our friends over at Touchdown Wire put out their first round of NFL power rankings this week and they definitely fall into the category of those who think the Steelers are still a year away from the fallout of the moves to be competitive. They have Pittsburgh ranked No. 19 in the league to start the season. Here's a bit of what they had to say about the Steelers and potentially history repeating itself. This has the feel of 2012 and 2013 for the Steelers, when they limped along at 8-8 in both seasons as a needed rebuild happened. The loss of Antonio Brown is an obvious and major hit to the offense, though JuJu Smith-Schuster is a fine wide receiver. Running back James Conner doesn't have Le'Veon Bell's wide skill set, but he proved able as Bell held out for the entire season. Bell's now a Jet all the way, which means that the Steelers are trotting out No. 2 players at two top skill positions to replace two No. 1 guys. Harsh words. Calling Conner and Smith-Schuster No. 2 players after both guys made the Pro Bowl last season is a little hurtful. Every season No. 2 guys become stars and we already saw Conner and Smith-Schuster do this last season. If this team isn't good in 2019, it won't be because of those two. But the comparison to 2012 and 2013 is somewhat valid. Head coach Mike Tomlin had cruised with a roster largely comprised of players left over from Bill Cowher and there was a need to re-tool the roster heavily going forward. Is this what we will see again? Let us know in the comments below and tell us if you are ok with where Touchdown Wire ranked the Steelers.

SEATTLE (AP)   A federal appeals court gave President Donald Trump a rare legal win in his efforts to crack down on "sanctuary cities" Friday, upholding the Justice Department's decision to give preferential treatment in awarding community policing grants to cities that cooperate with immigration authorities. The 2-1 opinion overturned a nationwide injunction issued by a federal judge in Los Angeles. The court said awarding extra points in the application process to cities that cooperate was consistent with the goals of the grant program created by Congress. "The Department is pleased that the Court recognized the lawful authority of the Administration to provide favorable treatment when awarding discretionary law-enforcement grants to jurisdictions that assist in enforcing federal immigration laws," the Justice Department said in an emailed statement. Federal courts have blocked some efforts by the administration to withhold money from sanctuary cities, including an executive order issued by the president in 2017 that would have barred them from receiving federal grants "except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes." Courts also barred the Justice Department from imposing new immigration enforcement-related conditions on Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants, the biggest source of federal funding to state and local jurisdictions. The 9th Circuit's ruling Friday concerned a different program, Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, grants, which are used to hire more police officers. Previously, the Justice Department has given extra points to cities that agree to hire veterans, or that operate early intervention systems to identify officers with personal issues, or that have suffered school shootings. In 2017, under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department for the first time decided extra points would go to cities that listed immigration enforcement as a priority or that certified they would cooperate with federal immigration authorities by allowing them access to detainees in city jails and giving 48 hours' notice before an undocumented immigrant was released from custody. Los Angeles applied for a grant that year, but declined to list immigration enforcement as a priority   it listed building community trust instead   or to make the certification. It failed to win, and it sued. The Justice Department had introduced conditions that impermissibly coerced the grant applicants to enforce federal immigration law, the city said. It also said the immigration-related conditions were contrary to the goals for which Congress had approved the grant money: to get more police on the beat, developing trust with the public. The judges in the majority, Sandra Ikuta and Jay Bybee, both appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, rejected that. "Cooperation relating to enforcement of federal immigration law is in pursuit of the general welfare, and meets the low bar of being germane to the federal interest in providing the funding to 'address crime and disorder problems, and otherwise ... enhance public safety,'" Ikuta wrote. Several other jurisdictions did win funding without agreeing to the DOJ's immigration enforcement preferences, she noted. Judge Kim Wardlaw, appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton, dissented, calling the majority's opinion "Orwellian" in the way it tried to equate federal immigration enforcement with enhanced community policing. "Nothing in the congressional record nor the Act itself remotely mentions immigration or immigration enforcement as a goal," she wrote. "In the quarter-century of the Act's existence, Congress has not once denoted civil immigration enforcement as a proper purpose for COPS grants." The Los Angeles city attorney's office did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Supporters of sanctuary cities say that encouraging local police to participate in federal immigration enforcement is counterproductive: People will be less likely to report crimes if they believe they'll be deported for doing so. But the 9th Circuit's opinion found that to be a question of policy, not law, said David Levine, a professor at University of California Hastings College of the Law. "What the Justice Department was doing before, they were trying to force sanctuary cities to do things, and yank money from them retroactively if they didn't," Levine said. "They've gotten a little more sophisticated now. They're saying, 'You don't have to take this money, but if you want it, it comes with strings attached.' That's a well understood way the federal government gets states to do things. You don't use a stick, you use a carrot."

International Speedway Corporation announced Thursday that Brian Crichton, Vice President, Marketing and Sales at Talladega Superspeedway, has been promoted to President of Talladega Superspeedway, effective September 3rd.

This smart cat turned the doorknob of a glass door inside the house to open the door and enter the room where her owners were sitting.


The small caramel-colored dog with floppy ears stands on a table and wags its tail. Then, a voice commands, "Go." In one swift movement, the man gripping the dog by its midsection lifts it up and turns it upside down over a silver keg. Subscribe to the Post Most newsletter: Today's most popular stories on The Washington Post "Let's go, keg stand!" someone bellows as another man holds a black tap near the dog's mouth. The now-squirming canine kicks its paws in the air. Suddenly, a stream of foamy liquid squirts from the tap, hitting the dog in its face. A grinning bystander doubles over and covers his mouth. Someone else lets out a loud peal of laughter. But the incident, which was captured on video and shared to social media over the weekend, wasn't funny to the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or to Hofstra University administrators. The Long Island university confirmed Monday that it suspended its chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi pending the results of an investigation after the five-second clip purportedly involving some of the fraternity's members prompted fierce backlash. The video, which had been viewed more than 100,000 times on Twitter as of early Tuesday, also caught the attention of the Nassau County SPCA, leading the organization to launch its own investigation. "It was very wrong on so many levels‚" Gary Rogers, a spokesman for the Nassau County SPCA, told The Washington Post. "I'm sure it wasn't the dog's idea, 'Hey, I want some beer.' Animals don't make that choice." The dog, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel believed to be between 5 and 10 months old, was living in a house associated with the fraternity, but is now in the SPCA's care, Rogers said. The puppy belongs to a 21-year-old senior at Hofstra, who was one of the people in the video, he said. "Our paramount concern is the safety of the dog," Rogers said. "The dog is no longer in that environment." He added that when investigators visited the house on Monday, the canine "appeared to be in good condition" and had food, water and a bed. The video featuring the puppy was reportedly taken at an off-campus fraternity house in Hempstead, N.Y., on Saturday and shared to Snapchat, according to NBC News . In the background of the clip, people could be seen standing around in a yard. It didn't take long for a recording of the Snapchat video to be uploaded to Twitter, where it was swiftly condemned. "[S]o apparently it's okay to force dogs to drink beer even though it can kill them????" the person who posted the clip wrote, tagging the official Twitter accounts of Hofstra, the fraternity's international headquarters and PETA. The tweet has since been retweeted nearly 1,400 times, with people expressing disgust at the treatment of the young dog and accusing the students involved of " animal cruelty ." "[H]ours have gone by since [I] saw this and my stomach is still in knots," one person wrote . In a statement to The Post, Hofstra said the behavior in the video is "unacceptable" and "in violation of the University's Code of Community Standards." The university said it has been in contact with Alpha Epsilon Pi's international headquarters as well as chapter members. Beyond the fraternity's suspension, the statement said "any individual students identified in the video will also be subject to" the university's code, which may result in a range of actions depending on the investigation. The fraternity's international headquarters said that the chapter was also placed on "'cease and desist' due to suspected violations of our health and safety policies." Alpha Epsilon Pi is a Jewish fraternity that was founded in 1913. "During this investigatory period, there can be no chapter activities," said Jon Pierce, a spokesman for Alpha Epsilon Pi, in a statement to The Post. "We hope that we are able to use this as a teaching moment to help build better young men who are committed to our policies and our mission of developing the future leaders of the world's Jewish communities." As of late Monday, Rogers said the SPCA investigation of the incident is still ongoing. Once all the evidence has been gathered, a "determination will be made" on whether charges will be filed, he said. "It was a bad thing to do and inconsiderate," he said. "You just don't hold an animal like that and put beer into its mouth." While it's unclear from the video if any beer was ingested by the puppy, experts say there are potential health risks associated with giving dogs alcohol, ranging from getting them "a little buzzed" to a hospital trip, according to petMD . But cases of alcohol toxicity in dogs are rare, Steven Friedenberg, an assistant professor in the department of veterinary clinical sciences at the University of Minnesota's College of Veterinary Medicine, told petMD. "We don't see much of this in vet medicine because alcohol tends to be distasteful to most animals," Friedenberg said. "They don't regularly seek this out, and most owners don't deliberately feed their animals alcohol." In his decades of experience, Rogers told The Post that watching the "keg stand" video was the first time he saw a dog in that situation. "We've seen so much and read so much about frat hazing, why were they doing that to an animal?" he said. "Whether this is an animal crime or not, animal crime is basically a precursor to other violent crime. If you're doing it to a dog or other animal, you can do it to a person."

Dak Prescott has accomplished a lot in just three years in the league. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback has thrown for more than 3,300 yards each season and thrown at least 20 touchdowns each time, making him the first quarterback in team history to do so. He's thrown 67 total touchdowns and ran in 18 in his career, and had led the Cowboys to a pair of division titles while compiling a 32-16 record. He's on the cusp of landing a new contract , too   one that's expected to be the richest in team history. [Join or create a 2019 Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free today] That's why Jon Kitna, Dallas' new quarterbacks coach, isn't planning on "revamping" Prescott this offseason. He doesn't think he needs to. "For him, it's continuing to define [improvement] together and working together," Kitna said Tuesday, via ESPN. "It's really little things." And when Kitna said "little," he meant it. "I mean it can be as minute as a 1-2-inch turn in your right ankle, honestly," Kitna said, via ESPN. "And about getting everything in line and all that stuff. The good thing for him is he works hard at that stuff already." Being forced to work on the "little things" can be a tedious task for any player during the offseason. It's generally not as fun, and can get boring quickly. Kitna, though, isn't worried about that with Prescott. "He works hard at [the little stuff] already," Kitna said, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "That's stuff that he's super diligent about already ... That's the great thing about Dak is he wants to be elite. When he did his self-evaluation it looked very similar to the self-evaluation I did. "We aren't talking about a guy that needs to be fixed or revamped here. I mean 3,800 yards and a 68 percent completion percentage is pretty darn good in this league ... It's really little things." Comparing Dak Prescott to Warren Moon Kitna had high praise for Prescott already at OTAs this week, and even compared him to Hall of Famer Warren Moon. "I had a chance to play with Warren Moon in my second and third year and I feel like [Prescott] throws the ball very similar to Warren," Kitna said. "It's one of the tightest spirals you'll ever see." Moon played in the league from 1984-2000, most notably with the Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings. The nine-time Pro Bowler and former Walter Payton Man of the Year was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. Prescott, naturally, loved the comparison. "I didn't know what to say," Prescott said. "I'll take it. He played forever. Hall of Famer. He can throw it." While he's just getting started working with Kitna   who played in the league for nearly 15 seasons himself   Prescott said he already has a good feeling about their relationship. "As you get on the field, it's much more than I could honestly ask for," Prescott said, via ESPN. "Just in the first two days and the teaching sessions, he's going to push me. That's what I ask for. He's going to make me a better player, even when he's got me out there dead tired and I'm drenched. Bring it. Keep coming. "I want more. That's how I've had success, and I know he'll lead me to it."

A woman is in critical condition after she was stabbed in a Worcester restaurant, and the man who tried to save her from the assailant was also stabbed. The attack happened Wednesday night at O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar on West Boylston Street. The suspect, who witnesses said was wielding at least two knives, stabbed the woman near the front hallway of the restaurant. A bystander sitting at a nearby table, 26-year-old Allan Corson Jr., then jumped into action. "My son jumped up immediately as soon as he heard the woman screaming, and he ran toward the screaming," said his father, Allan Corson Sr. Corson tackled the suspect and the good Samaritan was stabbed in the process. "My son, actually, he didn't even realize he got a knife wound to his back, so he got cut (by) the gentleman with the knives," his father said. Police swarmed the restaurant after 8 p.m. and were able to arrest the suspect. The Corson family is from Connecticut and was driving through Worcester when they decided to stop at O'Connor's. Officials did not provide an update on Corson's condition. Police have not yet provided information on the stabbing suspect. They have not said what led up to the attack but they believe it was not random.

Rohit Sharma scored his second hundred in three innings as India maintained their unbeaten record against Pakistan at the World Cup with an 89-run win under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method on Sunday. Sharma's 140 was the centrepiece of a total of 336-5 that also featured captain Virat Kohli's 77. Victory in this rain-curtailed clash saw India, who have now won all seven of their World Cup matches against Pakistan, remain unbeaten after four pool games at this year's edition. "We have played good cricket, if you focus on this game too emotionally things can get haywire," Kohli said. "We cannot approach it like fans, as cricketers you have to understand what needs to be done on the field. "Rohit's knock was outstanding but to get to 330 you need a team effort and that is exactly what happened." Pakistan, whose only 2019 pool win so far was a shock defeat of hosts England, were never truly up with the rate in the showpiece match of the 10-team round-robin stage. They still had hope at 117 for one even though the most made by any side batting second to win a World Cup match is Ireland's 329 for seven against England at Bangalore in 2011. But Kuldeep Yadav then struck twice to spark a collapse that saw Pakistan lose four wickets for 12 runs in 18 balls as they slumped to 129 for five in 27 overs -- long past the 20-over cut-off point needed for a result under D/L. "Kuldeep is a wicket taker. The ball to get Babar Azam was brilliant. A very important moment in the game," Kohli added. A third rain stoppage came with Pakistan 166-6 off 35 overs. The match then descended into something of a farce when play resumed under leaden skies, with Pakistan requiring an outlandish 136 more runs in five overs to reach a revised victory total of 302 in 40 overs. That target which, eventually became 94 off the last six balls, unsurprisingly proved beyond them as Pakistan finished on 212-6, dealing a major blow to their semi-final hopes. Criticised for opting to bowl first, Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed said: "We had a plan to pitch it up but we didn't hit the right areas. "We didn't capitalise on winning the toss and conceded too many runs. We lost so many wickets in two or three overs and that is what cost us the match. "It is tough. We have four matches left and we will try our level best to win them all." Bhuvneshwar Kumar limped off in the fifth over of Pakistan's chase with a hamstring injury that sidelined him from the rest of the match, with Kohli admitting the India paceman will out for a "maximum" of three matches. Vijay Shankar, completing Kumar's over, struck first ball when he had opener Imam-ul-Haq lbw for seven. Fakhar Zaman (62) and Babar Azam (48) repaired the damage with a century stand, before they both fell to Yadav as they tried to up the tempo. - Huge roars - Babar was bowled between bat by a superb delivery before Zaman miscued a sweep to short fine leg. All-rounder Hardik Pandya then took two wickets in two balls. Mohammad Hafeez was caught at deep square leg before Shoaib Malik played on for his second successive duck -- a wicket greeted with huge roars by the massed ranks of India fans in a capacity crowd, with an estimated one billion watching on television. Earlier, Kohli became the quickest player to 11,000 one-day international runs, getting there in 222nd innings compared to compatriot Sachin Tendulkar's previous record of 276 innings. Meanwhile, Pakistan left-arm quick Mohammad Amir continued his fine form with 3-47 despite two early warnings for running on the pitch. But not even Amir could stop Sharma and KL Rahul (57) marking their first ODI match as a opening duo with a stand of 136. Sharma went to fifty with a six over long-on and a cut four off successive deliveries from recalled leg-spinner Shadab Khan. His single off Shadab saw Sharma to an 85-ball hundred including three sixes and nine fours. But a quickfire stand of 98 with Kohli ended when Sharma, trying a needlessly extravagant scoop, flicked Hasan to short fine leg. Kohli, 71 not out at the start of a 55-minute rain break, fell soon after the resumption when, trying to hook Amir, he 'walked' for a catch behind by wicket-keeper Sarfaraz despite replays appearing to show he didn't hit the ball.


A man previously convicted on attempted murder charges is accused of raping a woman who was walking to work. Rovial Walker is back behind bars and appeared in court Wednesday. Surveillance footage of the attack was released two weeks ago. According to a criminal complain, the victim was walking on Orange Blossom Trail to get to work when a man grabbed her from behind and put a gun to her head. Officials said Walker told her to follow his directions or else he would "blow her brains out." Investigators said Walker forced the woman between two buildings on Columbia Street then raped her. Officials said he took her phone and emptied out her backpack, then left. A DNA sample matched Walker from a 2008 case where records show he pleaded no contest to attempted murder. Investigators said the victim positively identified Walker from a picture they showed her.
