Earlier this week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court delivered a message that the United States Supreme Court desperately needs to hear: The lawful exercise of your Second Amendment rights does not make you a second-class citizen. Here's the context. For the last two years, federal courts   including, sadly, the Supreme Court   have endorsed a legal regime where police can use even the lawful exercise of gun rights as a pretext for the violation of other constitutional rights, principally our Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure. For example, in 2017, the Eleventh Circuit held that a police officer enjoyed immunity from suit when he pounded on the door of the wrong apartment late at night, failed to announce himself, and then shot dead a young man when he lawfully answered the door, armed. The existence of the gun granted the officer the right to shoot with absolute legal impunity. Two months later, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of police officers who, without a warrant, entered the modest dwelling (a one-room shack) of a man named Angel Mendez and opened fire when he pointed a BB gun at them. Mendez lost his leg. His girlfriend was also injured. SCOTUS then used this case as an occasion to reverse a Ninth Circuit use-of-force rule that would impose liability when police "provoke" a violent confrontation through an "independent Fourth Amendment violation." But perhaps the best expression of gun owners as second-class citizens under the Bill of Rights came from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals . The court ruled that police could frisk a person if they believed that the person carried a firearm, even if he possessed a concealed-carry permit. According to the court, "the danger justifying a protective frisk arises from the combination of a forced police encounter and the presence of a weapon, not from any illegality of the weapon's possession " (emphasis added). In a concurring opinion, a federal circuit-court judge actually typed these words: The majority decision today necessarily leads to the conclusion that individuals who elect to carry firearms forego other constitutional rights, like the Fourth Amendment right to have law enforcement officers "knock-and-announce" before forcibly entering homes. . . . Likewise, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that individuals who choose to carry firearms necessarily face greater restriction on their concurrent exercise of other constitutional rights, like those protected by the First Amendment. In plain English, this means gun owners must choose: carry their weapon and lose the full protections of the rest of the Bill of Rights, or never pick it up and enjoy your other rights. For people who live in high-crime areas, people who are often poor and sometimes nonwhite, this presents a wholly unacceptable dilemma. The people who have the most urgent need for self-defense find themselves facing the greater risk of the loss of their liberties. Enter the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. In Commonwealth v. Hicks , police responded to a citizen call after Hicks was spotted showing his handgun to another person outside a convenience store. He did not rob the store. He did not do anything illegal. He was a concealed-carry holder in lawful possession of his gun. "Numerous" police officers responded to the call, stopped the vehicle, restrained him, and conducted a search. They smelled alcohol and found a small bag of marijuana. They then arrested him for driving under the influence and disorderly conduct. Hicks challenged the legality of his arrest, and while the trial court dismissed the disorderly-conduct charge, it upheld the legality of the initial search. The court ruled that "possession of a concealed weapon in public creates a reasonable suspicion justifying an investigatory stop in order to investigate whether the person is properly licensed." Thus any concealed-carry holder could be subject to search simply because he chose to carry his weapon, to exercise rights guaranteed by state law and buttressed by the Bill of Rights. The state supreme court disagreed, holding that it could "find no justification for the notion that a police officer may infer criminal activity merely from an individual's possession of a concealed firearm in public." It continued: Unless a police officer has prior knowledge that a specific individual is not permitted to carry a concealed firearm, and absent articulable facts supporting reasonable suspicion that a firearm is being used or intended to be used in a criminal manner, there simply is no justification for the conclusion that the mere possession of a firearm, where it lawfully may be carried, is alone suggestive of criminal activity. This is exactly correct, and it's buttressed by the plain constitutional truth that there exists "a first principle that lies at the heart of the Fourth Amendment   that the government may not target and seize specific individuals without any particular suspicion of wrongdoing, then force them to prove that they are not committing crimes." The Pennsylvania Supreme Court notes that SCOTUS has not addressed the specific legal questions at issue. When the right case arises, it must. And when it does, it should note once and for all that gun possession   by itself   does not compromise the protections of any other constitutional right.


Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has backed the club to sign Manchester United striker and rumored Inter target Romelu Lukaku this summer. Juventus have long had winning the Champions League on their minds, and Ronaldo was signed for a reported €100m last summer. But even he was unable to produce the magic, as Juve were knocked out by Ajax at the quarter-final stage. As reported by The Sun , Ronaldo believes that Romelu Lukaku could be the answer to their problems and he would back a move for the wantaway Manchester United striker. Lukaku has been offered to both Napoli and Juve for £75m, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed to the striker that he is not the first-choice option at Old Trafford. As Ronaldo has adopted a wider role during his time at the Serie A champions, the centre-forward berth is available and the Belgian appears to be his favoured player to fill that position. Inter  had shown interest previously, but the two bids registered by Antonio Conte have been batted away by the Manchester club. These were believed to be in the shape of a player-plus-cash deal and a two-year loan with an obligation to buy. However, the Premier League side are holding for the same £75m that they shelled out for Lukaku back in 2017, which has left two other former Chelsea managers in Carlo Ancelotti and Maurizio Sarri to battle it out for the Belgian's signature. The Old Lady will already have one former Premier League star among their ranks this pre-season as Aaron Ramsey begins life in Turin following his move from Arsenal, coming after the Welshman's contract had expired. Should Lukaku join the Italian giants, he will be tasked with helping Juve maintain their stranglehold on the league and lead them to European success - something he has previously been a part of at Chelsea in 2012.


PGA Tour veteran Kevin Na picked up his third career win on Tour on Sunday as his final round score of 66 gave him a comfortable four-stroke win at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. And it didn't take him long to give his caddie something awesome for the win because right after his final putt fell in the hole, Na pointed at the 1973 Dodge Challenger that was to be awarded to the winner and yelled, "That's your car!" at his caddie, Kenny Harms. Somewhere Matt Kuchar, who made news earlier this year with a terrible tip to a caddie, is shaking his head. We kid, Matt Kuchar fans. We kid. But seriously, this was a pretty great moment for Na and his caddie on the 18th green after a big win: He promised to give it to his caddie. pic.twitter.com/CyhIwLPP3Q - PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 26, 2019 (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images) Kevin Na wins a restored 1973 Dodge Challenger for his victory @CSChallengeFW , but he knew before walking off the final green he's flipping the keys to caddie Kenny Harms.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) on Monday said the White House is blocking election security legislation from moving through the Senate. Warner said during an event at the Council on Foreign Relations that multiple measures he has introduced to secure U.S. elections against foreign interference are not receiving a floor vote in the Senate because of objections from the White House. Warner and several Democrats last week tried to pass the Foreign Influence Reporting in Elections Act by unanimous consent but were blocked by Republicans. The bill would require campaigns to notify the FBI about any attempts by foreign government to interfere in U.S. elections. The topic has gained traction in Congress following President Trump's recent comments to ABC News that he would consider accepting information on a political opponent from a foreign government. Warner on Monday described Trump's comments as "utterly outrageous." "In terms of the reporting, a number of Republican colleagues have indicated that they thought that would be common sense to say that if a foreign government intervenes, you have to tell the FBI. What is stopping this is the White House," he said referring to the legislation. Warner added that the only way to get around the objections of the administration is if "Americans of goodwill of both political parties say that our democracy, and the integrity of that democracy, is more important than the feelings and sensibilities of the current occupant of the White House." The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Warner's remarks. Warner, who is the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, also said that the panel's report on election security issues regarding the 2016 presidential election is going through "declassification." He did not provide an update on when the report will be released. Warner told The Hill last week that the committee's investigation into the issue is also being held up by the Justice Department's "unwillingness to share" the underlying counterintelligence evidence used by special counsel Robert Mueller in compiling his 448-page Russia report. On Monday, Warner also discussed the potential threat to fifth-generation wireless technology, or 5G, from Chinese telecommunications group Huawei, along with threats of Chinese cyber espionage tactics used to steal U.S. intellectual property. Warner advocated for a "short-term national strategy" to deal with such threats. The potential security threat posed by Huawei has been a focus of U.S. officials who are urging foreign allies to remove the company's access to their networks. The Commerce Department announced last month that Huawei has been added to its "entity list," effectively banning the firm from buying components from American companies without the approval of the federal government. The agency subsequently granted a 90-day extension before the move goes into effect in order to allow tech and telecom companies to make arrangements for transitioning away from Huawei components. But despite those moves, Warner expressed concern that Huawei could become a bargaining chip in the trade war with China, and that the Trump administration would backtrack on its moves to ban Huawei equipment. Warner called such a scenario a potential disaster. "We are finally starting to make some progress with our allies in terms of raising the very legitimate concerns about Huawei and other Chinese telecom providers in the 5G area," Warner said. "If that were to be traded away as a trading chip, then the ability for our intelligence community, the ability for our technology community to have any credibility on a going forward basis would be incredibly diminished."


The Chargers concluded the ninth day of practices at Jack Hammett Sports Complex in Costa Mesa, CA. Here are some notes from Day 9 of Chargers training camp: Going through the motions After two consecutive joint practices with the Rams, the team took it easy today. Notable players like quarterback Philip Rivers, linebacker Thomas Davis, safety Nasir Adderley and wide receivers Keenan Allen and Travis Benjamin all had the day off. Everything they did at practice was at walkthrough speed. Jerry Tillery is making progress Tillery, the first-round selection, missed all of minicamp and organized team activities. He had surgery in March to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, and general manager Tom Telesco continued on to say that the team will "gradually work him in" during training camp. Today, Tillery participated in team drills today. It marked the first time doing so after spending the first eight days of just individual drills. It's uncertain whether or not the former Notre Dame product will be ready to go for the team's first preseason game against the Cardinals on Thursday. Ken Whisenhunt eager to see WR competition unfold Following Sunday's practice, Whisenhunt spoke with the media about a variety of topics and one of them was about the wide receivers. There has been some noise about nearly each one of the players at the position, but Whisenhunt said that the ones who know their assignments and can separate on their routes, starting on Thursday's matchup against the Cardinals, will be the ones who will have the best shot to make the roster.

Working out as an older adult doesn't have to look drastically different   but there are a few important things to keep in mind. Everything You Need to Know About Working Out Over 50 As you get older, you may start to experience some changes . You may find you get tired more easily or you've experienced changes in your sleep. You may need reading glasses or have thinning hair. There are actually a lot of little ways your body changes once you pass 50 . You might be wondering: Will any of these transitions affect the way I work out? Should I even work out at all now that I'm older? The answer to that question is yes. Getting regular exercise is one of the most impactful things you can do for your health at any age . But there are a few things you may want to change about your routine. Working out as an older adult doesn't have to look drastically different   but there are a few things to keep in mind, if only for your health and safety over the long term. Click through the slideshow above for everything you need to know about working out over 50. Focus on the benefits of exercise When you start working out, there are some pretty incredible things that happen to your body . And for those over 50, there are even more benefits of exercise to consider. The research is pretty clear that exercise helps to prevent many diseases associated with aging, including Alzheimer's , dementia, cancer , heart disease and more. Some evidence shows that working out could even improve coordination to prevent dangerous falls later on in life. Remember that your workouts serve a purpose outside of just looking good. Exercising helps you feel good for the many years to come. How much you should work out How often and for how long you work out is really up to you and your preference. But in terms of maximizing health benefits, there's one quota to keep in mind. The American Heart Association recommends exercising at a moderate intensity for 150 minutes per week. For most people, this breaks down into 30 minutes a day, five days per week. Find workouts you enjoy Workouts can be so much more than just a dull drag through time on a treadmill. Try different types of exercise that sound fun to you   because yes, exercise can be fun. You could head to the pool, try a new class or both. Don't discount water aerobics! Maybe you would enjoy hiking, taking your bike out on a trail or learning how to dance with your partner. There are even classes designed specifically for an over-50 crowd. The sky is the limit with what's out there for you to try. You don't have to rely on a gym Some people hate stepping foot in a gym . If you can relate, remember that you don't ever have to go to a gym. Fitness doesn't require a gym membership. You can do workouts outside in nice weather or find an indoor workout routine to try at home. You may even want to join a club to play a sport or find a group of friends to go jogging with. Stay hydrated No matter whether you exercise or not, you need to be drinking enough water . If you don't, you could experience some serious health consequences . When you exercise, you will likely need to up your water intake. Not only do you sweat out more water during your workout, but your body needs to work harder to perform those tasks and to recover. It needs water to do those things   so drink up! Fuel your workouts Proper nutrition is important at any age, but especially as you get older   and especially when you start to work out. There are some diet tips you might have followed when you were younger that are a really bad idea to follow now . Eat well by getting enough protein, carbohydrates and fats in your diet and eat a variety of foods with the vitamins and minerals you need . Make sure you eat something nutritious after you exercise, too , even if it's just a snack. This helps your body replenish the nutrients and energy it just expended during your workout. Building muscle is important now more than ever You lose muscle mass naturally as you age. By working out and building strength, you can help slow this process and prevent injury. A strong core, for example, can help prevent back injury. Strong arms can help you to safely carry heavy items. Don't lift too heavy Pushing yourself past your limit might seem like a way to get stronger faster, but you could be at risk for an injury. Without the muscle mass to alleviate it, extreme heavy lifting could put extra pressure on your bones and joints. As you age, your bones lose density and could be at risk for fracture. Choose a weight that's challenging, but not impossible to lift. You may not be able to perform the heaviest lift of your life, but that's OK! Remember that the goals here aren't aesthetic; they're for your health. Be cautious with weight machines In addition to lifting too heavy, the type of weight machine you choose to train with can also put you at risk. For instance, a leg extension machine, which involves pushing weight upwards with your feet from a seated, reclined position, may put more stress on your knee joints than necessary. Certain machines meant to work your abs and back can be risky, as well, because they put pressure on or twist your spine. If you feel pain or strain while using a workout machine , you should probably ditch it or ask a trainer for assistance. There are other exercises that use the same muscle groups you could try instead. In the case of the leg extension machine, for instance, you may opt for squats or lunges. Instead of ab machines, try planks or another core exercise you can do on the floor . Always include a warmup A warmup is an important part of any exercise routine . It improves circulation, raises your heart rate and increases body temperature. All of these changes better prepare your body to use your muscles during your workout. Going from zero to 100 in terms of intensity is not advisable. It will feel less comfortable and put you at greater risk for pulling a muscle or otherwise getting hurt. Add in some cardio The American Heart Association recommends aiming for exercise that gets your heart rate up   the cardio part of fitness is key for improving overall health. These types of exercise are responsible for many of the benefits of fitness, including a reduced risk of heart disease, reduced risk of hypertension , and reduced risk of stroke. With increased cardiovascular fitness, your heart actually becomes more efficient at pumping blood through your body, resulting in less strain on your heart long-term. Is running safe? If you enjoy running, there's no reason to stop just because you're getting older. Exceptions exist if you've suffered a knee injury or other condition that interferes with your ability to run safely. If you suspect this may be the case, talk to your doctor and ask whether running is safe for you at this time in your injury recovery. Some chronic conditions, such as osteoporosis, can also limit your ability to run risk-free. Again, your doctor is your best point of reference for discovering whether or not you should be running. But if you're free of injury or another interfering condition, going for runs can be a great idea. Contrary to what some believe, running does not always put your knees at risk. In fact, evidence suggests that running can actually be protective against knee osteoarthritis. Start a running routine When you get started running regularly, it's important to ease into your routine. Don't expect to increase your distances super quickly or be great at it right away. Start slow. Beginner runners injure themselves often because they try to do too much too fast. Listen to your body and don't run past the point of pain. You might run and walk in intervals at first until you increase your stamina. This can also help ease the new pressure you're putting on your joints. A good rule of thumb is to keep your increases in distance at a maximum of around 10 percent each week. Avoid sprints The faster you go, the greater risk you're at for pulling a muscle or suffering a related injury. Sprints are a quick way to get your heart rate up, and it can be fun to race the clock. But it's much smarter to run more slowly and for longer durations, especially if you're thinking you want to continue running over the long term. Incorporating a warmup and stretching afterwards can help make sprinting safer   though even then, you don't want to overdo it. Try walking You may not think of walking as a type of workout, but it is ! Walk at a brisk pace to get your heart rate up, or try going for longer distances to make it more of a challenge if you so desire. But in any context, walking is good for you. It improves your cardiovascular health, builds bone density and has profound effects on your mental health . Be careful of plyometric exercises Plyometric exercises are explosive movements (popular in boot camps and other high-intensity types of training) that typically involve jumping or performing a strength-based exercise while also increasing heart rate. These types of exercises are meant to maximize power in a shorter interval of time. Squat jumps, lunge jumps and burpees are a few examples. These exercises are certainly efficient and have been applauded for their ability to accomplish a lot of work in a short interval of time. However, if you are over 50 there is reason to be wary of performing these exercises often. Without the proper muscle mass to support the explosive movement, a plyometric exercise can put a tremendous amount of stress on bones and joints. This can increase your risk for injury. Core work is key Of all the muscle groups in your body, your core (which consists of your abs and lower back) might be the most important to keep in shape. These muscles help to stabilize your spine, preventing injury and reducing back pain. Spend some time doing core-strengthening moves; these can be specific ab exercises or core-focused workouts such as yoga . You really need to stretch As you get older, your lean body mass decreases. This includes changes to your tendons and ligaments that result in less flexibility and a more limited range of motion. In order to exercise safely, it's important not to move outside of your comfortable range of motion. Some people might be totally fine squatting well below their knees, while others simply don't have the hip mobility. If you have limited mobility, you could be risking an injury if you accidentally move past your body's range. In order to increase your mobility and range of motion   and decrease your risk of injury   you're going to need to stretch. There's some debate about whether you should ever stretch before a workout, but there are zero drawbacks to stretching after. Stretching after a workout can also help you properly cool down. The slow, gentle movements will assist your heart to slow its pace gradually, rather than you coming to a complete stop that could cause lightheadedness. How much soreness is normal? When you first get started working out , or if you tried something new with your routine, it's totally normal to feel sore. The more you stick to your exercise routine, the less sore you're going to feel after your workouts. Sharp pains, on the other hand, are not normal. These sudden onsets of pain during exercise are signals from your body that something isn't right. You may need to adjust your form or stop for the day. Additionally, it may be a warning sign if you experience pain for more than two consecutive days. If pain persists, consult a doctor to see what's going on. Ease soreness with heat and ice Of course, the only thing that can really heal post-workout soreness is time. But heat and ice may help. Ice can reduce swelling (which is a normal part of post-workout recovery) and heat can help relax your muscles and let go of any tension. Try alternating both to help with soreness if the pain is particularly bad. Make sure you take rest days The general rule of thumb is to take one rest day after a day of training, but for those over 50, more time may be necessary. Listen to your body; if you're still sore on day two, your body may need an additional day to recover. Move on your rest days Don't do anything taxing or excessive   but you do want to get some movement in on your rest days. Mobilization of your joints and muscles can actually aid in muscle recovery because of the improved circulation. This movement can be anything from a light walk to a simple stretch routine. Whatever gets your blood flowing! Your body might not look different Many people approach working out with the sole aim of losing weight or getting a "better" body. This type of motivation may not work   and could actually sabotage your workout goals in the long-run . There is no guarantee that your body will look any different once you start working out. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it! And it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong, either. Your metabolism changes naturally when you get older. And many benefits of exercise have nothing to do with your appearance. You'll feel more energized and experience a more balanced mood, among many other things . Don't limit yourself Just because you don't have a 20-year-old's body doesn't mean you can't participate in the same types of exercise that you enjoyed when you were younger. You may have to make some modifications and adjustments to pace, but don't let your age hold you back. Try something social Your physical fitness isn't the only thing that affects your long-term health. Your mental health and your social life make a huge impact, as well. You can hit two birds with one stone by turning your workout routine into a fun social activity. Maybe you have friends who want to play a sport with you such as tennis or golf. Maybe group fitness classes are available in your area. Working out is a great way to meet new people, too! Don't let shame get in your way Many people either can't stick to or never start a workout routine because of shame. This shame can be related to fitness level or body type, or you might feel shame that you haven't been working out consistently already. But remember that there is no reason to feel badly about where you are right now. It's never too late to start getting active. You don't need to feel badly about your fitness level, either. If you need to modify an exercise, such as doing a push-up on your knees instead of your toes, that doesn't make you worse or worthy of shame . Modifications aren't a bad thing   and how to use them is one of the things you need to know if you're working out for the first time .


Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson is a man of many talents. He has elite speed that can take the top off the defense and athleticism that allows him to go up and win his fair share of jump balls down the field. He also has a knack for entertaining his Twitter followers. Since joining the Jets, Anderson has repeatedly made noise on Twitter thanks to his random musings. Whether it be his thoughts throughout the day or provoking questions, Anderson often sets the Jets Twittersphere on fire. With that being said, let's take a look at some of the best Tweets @youngamazing9 has had to offer. Robby the defensive back? @AB84 better pray ion never get at Saftey - Robby Anderson (@youngamazing9) March 12, 2018 In three NFL seasons, Anderson has done well as a wide receiver. However, his true calling might be at defensive back - especially when the Jets face the Oakland Raiders and wide receiver Antonio Brown. By the looks of the Tweet above, Anderson is not Brown's biggest fan. Brown has victimized veteran NFL defensive backs throughout his career, but if Anderson can turn into a Jets Twitter sensation overnight, he can probably make the switch to safety in a week's time. The Jets do play the Raiders in 2019, so Anderson might beg Adam Gase for the opportunity to back this Tweet up. Gum and the digestive system Is it true if you swallow gum it sticks to ur stomach - Robby Anderson (@youngamazing9) September 11, 2018 One day after defeating the Detroit Lions in dominant fashion to open the 2018 season, Anderson's mind was not on the touchdown he scored the night before. Instead, he was pondering an age-old question that everyone has asked at least once in their life. Does gum really stick to your stomach if you swallow it? These are the kinds of questions people need answers to. As a man of the people, Anderson took it upon himself to question the masses on the topic. If the whole football thing doesn't work out, maybe Anderson has a future as a gastroenterologist. Daylight saving time I like when da Sun stay out later - Robby Anderson (@youngamazing9) March 11, 2019 From November to March, the sun goes in early and the darkness follows. Like many of us, Robby Anderson is not a fan of this. Life is better when the sun stays out later. The later the sun stays out, the nicer the weather is and the more fun there is to be had. Anderson just wants to have fun in the sun and enjoy the daylight like the rest of us. Anderson is so adamant about this that he went out of his way to retweet his own Tweet so more people could see it. Weatherman Robby Why it's cold down here n March - Robby Anderson (@youngamazing9) March 20, 2019 Ever wonder why it's still cold in March? Robby Anderson does too. Once February ends, everyone expects March to come along and bring the warm weather with it. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case. Anderson is not a fan of this reality and had a feeling the majority of his followers weren't either, so he took to Twitter to share with them. Now that it's May, Anderson is hopefully enjoying the warmer weather before the Jets' offseason activities really ramp up. Smelly Lyfts It's always da lyfts wit stank cars dat got da problem wit driving u - Robby Anderson (@youngamazing9) March 30, 2019 Sometimes, drivers for ride-sharing services are not the most pleasant people - especially early in the morning or late at night. One morning in March, Anderson made a jaw-dropping discovery that correlates moody Lyft drivers to the scent of their vehicles. Anderson believes that those who have smelly cars are the ones who catch an attitude with their passengers. It's safe to assume someone did not get a great rating from Anderson. Shotgun or backseat? I used to always want to ride n da front wit my moms now I love Ridin n da back - Robby Anderson (@youngamazing9) April 4, 2019 As a kid, making the move from the back seat to the front passenger seat is a right of passage. The day you move up to the front, you have officially made it. That used to be the case for Anderson, but the tide has turned. Now, Anderson prefers riding in the back. Frankly, it's hard to blame him. In the back, you can stretch your legs across the seat and comfortably take a nap. The front doesn't allow that kind of freedom. With comfort being the key and his mom no longer driving him around, Anderson is now a back seat guy. Wake up call Ain't never understand why Hotels make you check in so late but check out so Early - Robby Anderson (@youngamazing9) April 25, 2019 Anderson has an extremely valid point here. Why do hotels require their guests to check out so early? Given the time of his April 25 tweet, Anderson was the victim of an early-morning check out time. With an early morning check out comes a short night of sleep and that does not fly with him. Once again, Anderson has found a way to relate to the people with this tweet. He might be the guy who catches touchdown passes on Sundays, but his everyman Twitter persona is what keeps Jets fans following along.

The U.S. Open doesn't give sponsor exemptions, so Tony Romo had to earn his way into the major. He didn't. The former Cowboys quarterback and current CBS analyst shot a 3-over 74 on Monday in a local qualifier for the U.S. Open, Todd Archer of ESPN reports. Romo will not advance to sectional qualifying for the third consecutive year, missing one of the eight spots available to advance by three strokes. Romo did advance to sectional qualifying in 2010. Romo told Archer he hopes to play in the Mid-Amateur and Northeast Amateur later this summer and will attempt to defend his title at the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe in July. Romo appeared on the PGA Tour last week, getting a sponsor exemption for the third time. He did not survive the cut, finishing in a tie for 148th after shooting 76 and 74 at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas.


The number of crime incidents in Pittsburgh saw an overall decrease last week, for the third week in a row, according to data from SpotCrime , which collects data from police agencies and validated sources.

Costco became the latest retailer to say that the trade war between China and the U.S. will likely lead to higher prices, but the warehouse giant says it is taking steps to withstand the battle. "At the end of the day, prices will go up on things,'' said Richard Galanti, Costco's chief financial officer, during an earnings call with investors. "We're hopeful the ebbs and flows of the relations between our countries improves in that regard.'' The Trump administration ratcheted up its trade battle with China this month when it hiked U.S. tariffs on $200 billion in imported Chinese goods from 10% to 25%. The president has also threatened to add a 25% tariff on virtually all the remaining $325 billion in products brought in from China. Costco is just beginning to see the effect of the most recent tariff increases, affecting goods like furniture, bikes and luggage. In some instances, the warehouse giant is looking to source certain goods from other countries. "We've gone to every supplier to see what we can do to reduce costs,'' Galanti said. "In some cases, we've reduced order commitments.… And we've taken advantage of lower pricing on certain U.S. items that have been impacted the other way.'' Related video: Will retailers pass tariff costs onto consumers? (provided by Fox Business) Target and tariffs: The retailer has plans to limit higher prices Industry watchers have said that the tariff battle could make items ranging from smartphones to clothing more expensive, and also accelerate the shuttering of stores. But tariffs don't always scare off shoppers. Despite the increased import costs, patio furniture has sold well, Galanti says. "It's hard to predict what the impact will be,'' he says. For the quarter that ended May 12, Costco reported it brought in $906 million in net income or $2.05 diluted earnings per share. That was up from $750 million, or $1.70 a share, during the same quarter last year.

As development in Detroit continues at a steady pace, one of the more vexing questions is how to provide quality affordable housing to low-income renters. As construction costs continue to rise , baking in affordability into a development can be a challenge. But several recent apartment openings show that it is possible, especially with the right kind of public-private partnerships, philanthropic support, and subsidies. Here's a roundup of all the recent affordable housing news. Southwest Detroit For years, many second-floor residential units in the mixed-use buildings along West Vernor Highway remained vacant. The Southwest Detroit Business Association saw an opportunity to renovate those units, some of which are also on Springwells Street, and offer them at an affordable rate. SDBA secured a $135,000 grant from The Kresge Foundation and worked with building owners to make the necessary repairs to 12 of those units. The grant covered about $8,500 per apartment, and the owners typically pitched in much more. In a Detroit Free Press article about program, one landlord is leasing a one-bedroom for $750 a month. "As you get closer to Corktown, some market forces may take over and incentivize the owners enough to do it on their own," Greg Mangan, a real estate advocate at SDBA told the Detroit Free Press . "But over here, I think you still need some of that extra assistance." SDBA is looking to expand the program beyond the initial pilot stage. North End An old North End apartment building with a long path to restoration is finally open and accepting tenants. The St. Rita Apartment at 35 Owen Street was construction in 1916 and went vacant in early 2000s. It was even on the city's demolition list in 2008 . But after a $7.2 million redevelopment, the building's 26 one-bedroom units will be exclusively reserved for "extremely low-income" renters households making 30 percent or less of the area median income, or about $17,040 per year. Veteran tenants will get preference. Rent will be based on income, and could range from $0 to $771 per month. According to the Detroit Free Press , "Those low rents are possible through the Project Based Voucher program that is administered by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority using federal funds. The building has no time limits for residency or any special house rules for tenants." Financing was put together through millions of dollars in low-income housing and historic tax credits, a $250,000 grant from the Home Depot Foundation, and $176,638 put up by the developer, Detroit Central City Integrated Health. East Side Thanks to years of disinvestment, Gratiot Avenue past Eastern Market has long stretches of vacancy. A new housing development looks to reverse that trend. Work was recently completed on a $9.5 million mixed-use affordable housing development near the I-94 freeway. Crain's Detroit Business reports that Gratiot Central Commons will have 36 units, a mix of one and two bedrooms, with rates based on income. The project was a partnership between MHT Housing Inc., one of the state's biggest low-income housing developer, and the place-based nonprofit developer Detroit Catholic Pastoral Alliance. It was funded through federal low-income housing tax credits. The Detroit Housing Commission's new Project Based Voucher Program not only subsidizes rent for new tenants, but those who live in the same unit for over a year are automatically eligible for a Section 8 voucher. That means that even if the tenant moves, they still retain the voucher. All the units at Gratiot Central Commons have already been filled. O'Connor Real Estate is leasing the 10,000 square feet of commercial space.


Kendall Jenner's run as the face of Estée Lauder is far from over. Having already starred in ads for the brand's makeup, her next mission as millennial-baiting ambassador will be fronting the print and television campaign for its new fragrance, Modern Muse Le Rouge, this fall. Estée Lauder CEO Fabrizio Freda announced the news during a Tuesday morning call to report the company's financial progress, while pointing out that fragrance and makeup are good recruitment categories for younger shoppers. With sales across all of Estée Lauder's brands rising just 1 percent in the first three months of 2015 to $2.58 billion, the company's namesake line isn't the only one getting some youthful reinvigoration. Clinique, too, is refining its approach to a millennial clientele, by working with Cool Teen™ Tavi Gevinson , getting more digitally savvy and upping the frequency of its product launches. But, Freda explained in an interview with Fashionista later on Tuesday morning, Clinique and Estée Lauder aren't coming at younger shoppers from the same place. Clinique has always had a large contingent of teenage customers   the purchase of its three-step face cleansing program being something of a rite of passage   while Estée Lauder never marketed directly to them. Hence hiring Jenner to rep the brand. Very direct. As for all those acquisitions Estée Lauder made last fall   snapping up Le Labo , Frederic Malle, Rodin Olio Lusso and GlamGlow for a collective $242 million   Freda says that growing their businesses will be a gradual evolution with an emphasis on keeping distribution "very selective" for the time being. While Frederic Malle and Le Labo have five and 12 freestanding stores, respectively, GlamGlow largely sells through Sephora and Rodin through boutiques and chains like Barneys. As far as expansion goes, Freda sees a lot of potential for Le Labo in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and, in the long term, Latin America; although the first point of business will be growing its footprint in the U.S. Meanwhile, he says the company is prioritizing Rodin's growth in the U.S. and Europe in the short term, but sees "amazing potential" for the brand in Asia. As for GlamGlow, expect to see it branching out into product categories beyond the mud masks and cleansers it currently sells.

Red, white, and blue. Stars, stripes, and miracles. Sports bras, sweater vests, tassels, tracksuits, and, yes, even a little denim. The history of U.S. international sports from golf to hockey to soccer and every javelin toss in between is littered with epic fashion decisions, and to celebrate our democratic (AND PROUD OF IT!) sartorial lineage, we hopped in the ol' DeLorean for a suited-and-booted trip back in time. So grab a Bud, a rocket pop, and crank The Boss as we revisit the best Team USA uniforms in Team USA history. 1960 U.S. Women's Gymnastics The 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome were rife with retro goodness, but the U.S. Women's gymnastics team's very blue track suits were by far the grooviest. 1961 U.S. Ryder Cup Those crisp white jackets are nice, but it's Arnie in full Casablanca mode that truly sets this ensemble over the top. 1980 U.S. Men's Hockey The real miracle here is timeless typography and tasteful use of stars. RELATED: Burton's NASA-inspired Winter Olympics snowboard uniforms are out of this world 1992 U.S. Men's Basketball The only thing dreamier than these legendary home whites are the crewnecks that came with them. 1994 U.S. Men's Soccer Two words: Faux denim. 1994 Presidents Cup We interrupt your previously scheduled programming to remind you that the only good Presidents Cup uniform is a dead Presidents Cup uniform . 1999 U.S. Women's Soccer While a black sports bra remains the biggest style statement of 1999 World Cup, these clean home kits are a classic, inspiring the USMNT's equally awesome 2010 uniforms... as well as the USWNT's own 2019 homages . 2012 U.S. Men's Basketball Bold logo geometry and a subtle stars-and-stripes backsplash earn these London looks a permanent place in the U.S. trophy case. 2014 Ryder Cup While the 2014 Ryder Cup polos had more stripes than a DJ range sesh, the sweater look designed by some guy named Ralph Lauren is country club style 101. 2016 U.S. Olympic Golf Not a huge sample size to pull from on the Olympic golf front, but of the looks on offer at Rio 2016, the "Sunday" reds were our favorite...even if that USA typeface does make it like you're just here to pitch a new season of Suits . 2018 U.S. Winter Olympics Speaking of Ralph Lauren, the iconic designer steered hard into Americana for the U.S. Winter Olympics team's Opening Ceremony garb back in 2018. Reactions were mixed, but anything inspired by Lloyd Christmas gets an A-OK from us.

The Bengals rebuilt their offensive line this offseason, and the cornerstone was first-rounder Jonah Williams . Williams may or may not be able to help at the moment, though. Via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Williams was "dinged up" during last week's work and is being evaluated, but he didn't offer more specifics, and said he didn't want to speculate until he heard back from doctors. While that could sound ominous, it could also be nothing. That's what happens when football coaches speak vaguely about things because they can. What can't be overstated in Williams' importance. They installed the No. 11 overall pick at left tackle this offseason, and moved incumbent left tackle Cordy Glenn inside to left guard to make room for him.


JERSEY CITY, N.J.   Lady Liberty, her crown and torch visible from 13 of the 18 holes here at Liberty National Golf Club, in recent days has served as the unofficial mascot of the Northern Trust, stop No. 1 of this year's FedEx Cup. Precisely one year from now, FedEx's top-ranked 125 golfers will have to sidestep the metro-NY market and instead open their playoffs amid the towering pines and craggy, serpentine stonewalls dotted across TPC Boston. The stop in Norton will make official the shared custody of late-summer golf in the Northeast that the PGA decided was the best answer to keep bucolic TPC Boston from dropping out of its rotation, even if it meant pairing rival sports cities that, were they able to fit into a golf cart, no doubt would end the loop parked outside a local hospital ER. Tiger Woods, his charitable foundation deeply entwined in the Boston stop when play began there in 2003, flashed a wide smile here last week when asked about the nascent NY-Boston alliance. He won Boston in 2006, finished runner-up in '04 and '07. A devoted Lakers and Raiders fan dating to his youth in Cypress, Calif., he said he found it "ironic" how much he grew to love playing there. "Because honestly," added Woods, his golf shirt a near-perfect shade of Celtic green, "when I grew up, we in Southern California did not like Boston." For the PGA, well accustomed to cities rotating tournaments, marrying the New York and Boston markets isn't nearly the monumental challenge of, say, hiring a chef who can blend Manhattan and New England clam chowder into a porridge pleasing to the tummies of both fandoms. "I don't know that we're going to try to share [area] fans all that much," noted Julie Tyson, the PGA marketing exec in charge of overseeing the two stops. "I think if we can do that, we should negotiate world peace   because these are two kind of bipolar groups." Leave it to a marketer to be so astute, not to mention so charitable in her diagnosis. PGA commissioner Jay Monahan, 48, grew up in Belmont, his family owning a pair of Sox season tickets (Section 25 grandstand) for more than 60 years. There remains a wince in his voice when he recalls the Bucky Dent home run that nestled into the net above the Wall in the one-game playoff in '78 between the Sox and Yanks. "That's embedded in my mind at a very young age," recalled Monahan, whose resume includes a stint working alongside Sam Kennedy at the Fenway Sports Group. "The rivalry is one that I fully supported . . . and fully supported as a Bostonian. It's a great rivalry, but you also have a lot of respect for every one of these New York franchises for the success they've had. But I'd be lying to you if I said I was anything less than a 100 percent Boston fan." The PGA's stop in Boston nearly fell prey to a long-anticipated change in the PGA schedule aimed at ending the FedEx Cup, its season grand finale now with a top prize of $15 million, before September. The reasoning for the change when it was made official last July: steer the game clear of the NFL and college football, both of which made for formidable rivals in the competition for broadcasting ratings and overall media coverage and revenue. In order to accomplish a late-August season wrap, the FedEx playoffs, which previously began in New York in late August and then moved to Boston for play through Labor Day weekend, had to be trimmed from four to three events. Boston, where title sponsorship turned shaky in recent years in the wake of Deutsche Bank's withdrawal, was in peril. "Obviously, you have to push self-interest aside and ask what is the right decision for the company," said Monahan, asked how he would have felt if Boston, his hometown, had been dropped from the PGA menu. The idea for the Boston-New York format, according to Monahan, was sparked by a conversation he had with Jordan Spieth, who was then a member of the PGA Player Advisory Council, as the two made their way down the 10th fairway at the 2016 PGA Dell Technologies Pro-Am in Norton. "He said, 'Why don't we rotate them? This event in Boston is fantastic, it would be a shame to lose it,' " recalled Monahan. "Until then, we were just thinking about it being in a fixed location, or a fixed market, but the more we thought about it the more it made sense. Looking back on it, it was an important moment." Wrapping up his first loop here Thursday, an ever-polite Spieth said he was among "a number of players" who had a similar idea at the time. "I think everybody liked going up to Boston," said Spieth, whose best finish in Norton was runner-up to Justin Thomas in 2017. "Everyone loves the fan base up there, loves the golf course. It's just great. There's been some fantastic finishes   a really good TPC course that should be in the rotation. And that is nothing against the courses here, because they are obviously incredible and immaculate as well. So it's nice to bring [Boston] back in for sure." Rory McIlroy, a two-time winner in Boston (2012, '16), noted it would be "weird" for the tour not to go back there and he was happy it would return in 2020. As for a New York-Boston rivalry, the 30-year-old from County Down, Northern Ireland, couldn't relate. "If you had told me about the Yankees or Red Sox when I was 12," he mused, "I wouldn't have known what you were talking about." By Tyson's eye, there are few, if any, unique challenges to selling a New York-Boston pairing. Her boldest marketing point is the game itself, replete with strong story lines, such as Woods's resumed title march this year at the Masters and homeboy Shane Lowry winning the Open Championship at Royal Portrush. The world's best golfers remain the world's best golfers, no matter the history between the 18-hole cities where they touch down for a week in August. The obvious plus for Boston in 2020 (Aug. 6-9) is that the FedEx field will arrive at its max, 125, rather than in years past when the "first cut" in New York brought fewer stars (100) to the Hub. "The second big change is the cut," noted Tyson, who grew up a White Sox fan in Chicago and also marketed the LPGA for six years. "Now instead of cutting from 125 to 100, it will go from 125 to 70. Steeper cut puts more at stake. The bonus pool also went up this year, so now players over the course of the three weeks are playing for nearly $100 million . . . it makes for great drama inside the ropes." Outside the ropes, said Tyson, the look between the non-competing venues will have some obvious differences. At Liberty, with the New York City skyline as its breathtaking backdrop, Nordstrom, the Seattle-based high-end retailer, was among the shopping options on the course. Shake Shack, founded in NYC, was here pushing its trademark burgers. Boston-based companies, particularly food brands, have been targeted for the 2020 week in Norton. Tyson would not reveal specific would-be partners, but entities such as Legal Seafoods, Kelly's Roast Beef, and Sam Adams Brewery would be logical, perhaps prominent, vendors. "We don't have to reinvent the wheel from inside the ropes," said Tyson. "It's the outside-the-ropes experience we really want to improve and elevate. In Boston, we want to tap into something that feels quintessentially Boston   what works in New York is not going to be the thing that speaks to the Boston community." To that end, noted Tyson, the markets will have different charity recipients and some different fan experiences. Monahan, said Tyson, has been adamant about Boston preserving myriad opportunities for young fans, the roots of which he began to grow when he was the Boston tournament's initial executive director. "Every aspect of it, we want it to feel like it is very much a Boston experience," said Tyson. "Price points that work in Boston may be different than in New York. The offerings, in terms of expectation of hospitality . . . we have basically taken the event down to the studs, gone and talked to the market and we are rebuilding it around what we think works in the Boston sports market." According to Monahan, the 16 years at TPC Boston generated $28 million for local charities, an average of $1.72 million that won't be realized this year. "Absolutely," said Monahan, when asked if he regrets the loss in charitable dollars. "But I also think there is some inspiration in that. If we are going to be there every other year, how do we make a bigger impact in the years we are there? Perhaps we can catch up or exceed it." Northern Trust, headquartered in Chicago, thus far has agreed to sponsor the tournament only through 2021. If the Boston-New York toggling goes ahead in perpetuity, noted Monahan, the course location for the New York/New Jersey market undoubtedly will move around, while the TPC course in Norton will remain the Boston site. Left unsaid: There currently is no guarantee what happens to the joint custody arrangement after 2021. All anyone knows for now is that Boston gets at least one more kick at big-time PGA golf in 2020. "The golf course, the community up in there, is fantastic," said Bryson DeChambeau, who won Boston last year with his 268 after winning in New York. "That golf course is amazing. Obviously, I'm biased because I won it   but I do enjoy it." Kiddingly, DeChambeau retorted, "I'm from California, partner," when asked if he had any strong feelings toward the Boston-New York rivalry. "Well," he said with a big grin, "that's why I won both of them, because I wanted them to feel the same." Kevin Paul Dupont can be reached at kevin.dupont@globe.com .

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says agents have opened 74 investigations in 33 counties into alleged sexual abuse by members of the Catholic clergy. The KBI said it initiated the investigations after it received 119 reports from people who said they were victims of abuse. The agency announced in February that it had appointed a task force of six agents to begin reviewing allegations of abuse by Catholic clergy. The KBI's brief update Tuesday did not provide details about the investigations, and KBI spokeswoman Melissa Underwood said no arrests have been made yet. The Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, and the Diocese of Salina reported earlier this year that they had substantiated credible allegations of abuse against 50 clergy dating back as far as 1907.

The U.S. trade deficit jumped to a five-month high in May as imports of goods increased, likely as businesses restocked ahead of an increase in tariffs on Chinese merchandise, eclipsing a broad rise in exports. The Commerce Department said on Wednesday the trade deficit surged 8.4% to $55.5 billion. Data for April was revised higher to show the trade gap widening to $51.2 billion instead of the previously reported $50.8 billion. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the trade gap widening to $54.0 billion in May. The goods trade deficit with China, a focus of President Donald Trump's "America First" agenda, increased 12.2% to $30.2 billion, with imports rising 12.8%. Trump recently raised additional import tariffs on Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to retaliate. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping last week agreed to a trade truce and a return to talks. White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said on Tuesday talks were heading in the right direction, but it would take time to get the right deal made. The U.S.-China trade tensions have caused wild swings in the trade deficit, with exporters and importers trying to stay ahead of the tariff fight between the two economic giants. In May, goods imports increased 4.0% to $217.0 billion. Imports of consumer goods rose $1.4 billion, while those of motor vehicle and parts soared $2.3 billion to a record high. There were also big increases in imports of capital goods and industrial supplies and materials. Goods exports rose 2.8% to $140.8 billion. Exports of consumer goods increased $0.8 billion and soybean exports advanced $0.7 billion. Civilian aircraft exports rose $0.5 billion. Gains are, however, likely to be capped after Boeing in March suspended deliveries of its fastest-selling MAX 737 jetliner. The aircraft was grounded indefinitely following two deadly crashes in five months. Production of the troubled plane has been cut. When adjusted for inflation, the goods trade deficit increased $4.8 billion to $87.0 billion in May. The increase in the so-called real goods trade deficit suggests that trade could be a drag on second-quarter gross domestic product. Trade contributed 0.94 percentage point to the economy's 3.1% annualized growth pace in the first quarter. The Atlanta Fed is forecasting gross domestic product rising at a 1.5% rate in the April-June quarter. The wider trade deficit added to weak housing, manufacturing, business investment and moderate consumer spending in offering a downbeat assessment of the economy.


ONEIDA, Wis. (AP) Yealimi Noh began her week trying to qualify for the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic. She played the opening two rounds alongside an amateur whom she beat by 73 shots. And now she goes into the weekend paired with the No. 1 player in women's golf. Noh believes six months of hard work in paying off. She just never imagined a week like this. Sung Hyun Park, whose victory last week in Arkansas returned her to No. 1 in the world, twice ran off four straight birdies Friday for a 10-under 62 to break the tournament's 36-hole scoring record and take a one-shot lead over Noh into the weekend. Park was at 17-under 127 on a Thornberry Creek at Oneida course that last year yielded a winning score of 31-under par. Ariya Jutanugarn shot a 64 and was two shots out of the lead, and the Thai suggested that a course giving up so many low scores - the cut was at 5-under 139 - might be what makes it difficult. ''Actually, I feel like it's really tough for me because I felt like every hole, everybody have the chance to make birdie,'' she said. Park made so many she lost track. Starting with the par-5 13th hole, she ran off four straight birdies. She closed out her round on the front nine with four straight birdies. ''I made four birdies in a row twice today. I honestly didn't know,'' Park said through a translator. ''When I was 8 under today, I thought I was 7 under.'' Mina Harigae (63) and Tiffany Joh (66) were at 14-under 130, while Shanshan Feng of China had a 67 and was four shots behind. The biggest surprise was Noh, mainly because of the schedule she keeps. Coming off a superb summer of amateur golf last year - she won the Girls Junior PGA, the U.S. Junior Girls and the Canadian Women's Amateur in three consecutive weeks - Noh decided not to play at UCLA and turn pro, even though she had no status on any tour. She has received two sponsor exemptions on the Symetra Tour. She played a Korean LPGA event. And she has been trying to Monday qualify for LPGA Tour events, without much success. She finally got through this week, and is making the most of it. ''It means so much,'' Noh said. ''All the hard work, all the months of just like not knowing where I'm going to play and what I'm going to do, just finally playing here and playing well is really like a dream come true.'' Those dreams did not include a weekend tee time in the final group with Park, the No. 1 player in women's golf. ''Definitely not. I did not think about that,'' Noh said. ''But no matter who I play with and how they're playing, anything, I just don't want to think about anything else. Just focus on my score and my game. I don't want to think too much.'' She also had to keep her eyes off the game next to her. Presley Cornelius is a 20-year-old amateur who was given a sponsor's exemption into the tournament as a member of the Oneida Nation. She had told the Oneida website at the start of the week that she was proud to represent the tribe and ''hopefully, it will give me an inside look of what could be and how this works.'' She opened with a 96, and Friday was even more difficult. Cornelius had every score on her card from a 3 to a 9.

Follow population trends in 50 major cities in the U.S. over the past 50 years (1970 2019). What the 50 biggest cities in America looked like 50 years ago More than simply numbers, the statistics surrounding a city's population growth or decline can help to tell the story of a city and its inhabitants in a way that the history alone cannot. Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau produces a survey. The demographics and population counts in this document affect things such as political representation, allocation of federal funding, and where people choose to live for the next decade. In putting together this list of the 50 biggest cities in America, Stacker kept in mind the fact that the census is counted every 10 years as well as the fact that next year's (2020) census is on the forefront of many people's minds. There are multiple events and factors natural, man-made, and others that can affect a city and its census data, and we wanted to take those into account when presenting this data. In some cities, for example, natural disasters have caused relocation to other states, while in others a booming economy has attracted people from outside the state for the prospect of new jobs. More important than the raw data, however, is the way each city is represented and perhaps that is what the 2020 census is about. The 1970 census may have been less controversial in determining how many seats in the House each state would have; in an era where political factions are so deeply divided, it may be more important than ever that we understand not only where we come from, but where we're going, and how to make the most of a country with such a diverse and rich history. Read on to find out how 50 major cities have evolved over the past decades and which are the most populous today, growing in popularity, or losing population to other states. Click or swipe through to see the full list. #50. New Orleans, LA - 2018 population estimate: 391,006 people The birthplace of jazz has been affected by natural disasters in the past, including Hurricane Camille in the late 1960s, but the city's most significant recent event was Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The city's current population estimate of approximately 391,000 is lower than it was in 2000 and significantly lower than the 1970 census estimate of 593,471. Many residents fled after the city's infrastructure effectively collapsed during Hurricane Katrina, and the city is still rebuilding its economy. #49. Tampa, FL - 2018 population estimate: 392,890 people After a surge in population growth in the 1950s and '60s, Tampa saw a leveling off, but it continues to outpace the national average for growth. Much of its recent increase in population can be attributed to new arrivals , while in the past, the influence of Disney World on the central Florida economy could have caused the influx of new residents. #48. Arlington, TX - 2018 population estimate: 398,112 people Arlington more than doubled its population between 1980 and 2000. Possible reasons for its surge in population in recent years could be the 1972 relocation of the Washington Senators baseball team (now Texas Rangers) to what is currently known as Ameriquest Stadium and resulting economic growth, or the stadium for the Dallas Cowboys that was completed in 2009. Seating 80,000, it's the third-largest stadium in the NFL. #47. Tulsa, OK - 2018 population estimate: 400,669 people Tulsa has grown significantly since 1925, when it became a rest stop on Route 66, the interstate highway connecting California and Chicago. Between 1960 and 1980 it underwent a period of urban renewal, where the city was granted eminent domain for the acquisition of property to develop new real estate. After the 1982 oil bust, Tulsa was forced to diversify its economy and even survived the early 2000s economic recession, buoyed by low housing prices relative to other parts of the country. #46. Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN - 2018 population estimate: 425,403 people The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul saw a peak in population growth in the 1950s, at 521,718, which eventually stabilized by about 1990. The population of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, on the other hand, has increased quickly as residents have relocated from city to surrounding suburbs. Though there has traditionally been a large European (especially Scandinavian) flavor to the area, there has been increased ethnic diversification in recent years, with about 20% of the population identifying as black. #45. Oakland, CA - 2018 population estimate: 429,082 people Oakland is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the U.S.; the San Francisco Bay Area city ranked first on ethnoracial diversity on WalletHub's 2019 list . The black population peaked at 47% of Oakland's total population in 1980 but has since declined to 28% as of the 2010 census. #44. Virginia Beach, VA - 2018 population estimate: 450,189 people Virginia Beach is seeing a slowdown in population growth in recent years, part of a statewide trend. Experts attribute this to, among other things, a death-to-birth imbalance in the state and the fact that retirees are not moving there. #43. Long Beach, CA - 2018 population estimate: 467,354 people Southern California's Long Beach has seen a slow population increase in recent years. Like in much of the rest of the region, there has been a steady decline in the percentage of the population that comprises non-Latino whites since the 1970s, from nearly 90% in 1970 to less than 50% as of the 2010 census. #42. Omaha, NE - 2018 population estimate: 468,262 people Despite a 1975 tornado that inflicted between $250 and $500 million worth of damage to Omaha, the city has seen a rise in population since the 1970s. While 1970 estimates were around 346, 929 people , the current estimate is 468,262. #41. Raleigh, NC - 2018 population estimate: 469,298 people Raleigh's population has grown by leaps and bounds since 1970, when it was 122,870 , to today, when it is more than triple that number. Some possible reasons for this growth include the 1987 bond proposals for improvements to the city, including a baseball stadium and a $40 million road program, and the 1991 opening of Walnut Creek Amphitheatre, a $13.5 million entertainment complex. #40. Miami, FL - 2018 population estimate: 470,914 people Miami has historically been a city of immigrants and strong cultural influences. In the 1970s and 1980s many Haitians and Nicaraguans fled to Florida after their countries' governments were overthrown, with an influx of Cubans following. The African-American and Caribbean populations made up approximately one-third of the city's population prior to these surges. #39. Colorado Springs, CO - 2018 population estimate: 472,688 people Initially, a Victorian resort town in the Old West, Colorado Springs has evolved into a military base as home to the U.S. Air Force Academy and a large university town. The population of the area has grown steadily from 283,308 in 1990 to an estimated 472,688 today. #38. Kansas City, MO - 2018 population estimate: 491,918 people It may have recently gained national visibility by being featured on the fourth season of "Queer Eye," but Kansas City, Mo., has a rich history beyond its association with the Fab Five. On the border between Kansas and Missouri, it expanded rapidly after the Civil War because of the strategic placement of railroads and became a hub for African-Americans who settled there. The city has continued to grow since then, due to public housing, and growth has expanded to the suburbs rather than downtown. #37. Atlanta, GA - 2018 population estimate: 498,044 people A capital city of the Southeast and one hub of the national civil rights movement, Atlanta has experienced tremendous growth in the past few decades. The official city population remains the same but that of the metro area has grown exponentially between 2010 and the present , from 2.9 million to 4.1 million. #36. Sacramento, CA - 2018 population estimate: 508,529 people Sacramento's population has increased slightly in the past 30 years, from just under 400,000 in 1990 to just over 500,000 today. It's a racially diverse area, with only 48.5% of the population identifying as white, compared to 76.5% in the United States overall. #35. Mesa, AZ - 2018 population estimate: 508,958 people Mesa, now the third-largest city in Arizona and home to approximately 508,000 residents, had humble beginnings but has grown exponentially nearly every decennial census through 1990. The city grew 89% from 1980 to 1990 and continues to draw people to its strong retail-based economy in the larger Phoenix-Mesa Metropolitan Statistical Area. #34. Fresno, CA - 2018 population estimate: 530,093 people Fresno experienced California's statewide trend of outward domestic migration between 2010 and 2018. Still, the city's population increased overall because of higher birth rates than death rates and international migration, according to the Census Bureau. #33. Tucson, AZ - 2018 population estimate: 545,975 people The Old Pueblo, as Tucson is known, is about 115 miles southeast of Phoenix. The city's dry, sunny climate draws tourists and retirees alike in addition to new residents each year it grew almost fourfold between 1950 and 1960 and continues to climb. #32. Albuquerque, NM - 2018 population estimate: 560,218 people Officially founded in 1706, the city of Albuquerque had Pueblo roots for hundreds of years before its official settlement by the Europeans. It's well-known for an economic emphasis on technology, including Sandia National Labs, which opened in 1949, and draws worldwide recognition for the International Balloon Fiesta, started in 1972 . #31. Milwaukee, WI - 2018 population estimate: 592,025 people Milwaukee, the largest city in Wisconsin, was discovered by the French explorer Marquette in the 1600s but started to experience settlement beyond simply fur traders in the mid-1800s. The rise of factories and the accompanying economic opportunities drew African-Americans from elsewhere in the U.S. in the 1960s, 15% of the population was African-American  but the city remains largely segregated. #30. Baltimore, MD - 2018 population estimate: 602,495 people Baltimore underwent a steady population decline in the 1950s and '60s as people began to migrate out of the city itself and into the surrounding suburbs, both because of the relocation of the centers of shopping and industry and because they were forced to move due to demolition of their residences. Overall, the city has lost more than a third of its population in the past 60 years because of these developments, though a recent migration of young professionals to the area has positively influenced population statistics. #29. Louisville, KY - 2018 population estimate: 620,118 people Louisville merged with surrounding Jefferson County in January 2003, making it the 16th-largest city in the country when it had previously been the 67th largest. As a result, the city named for King Louis XIV of France nearly tripled its population overnight. #28. Las Vegas, NV - 2018 population estimate: 644,644 people Known for its bright lights, casinos, and larger-than-life persona, Las Vegas is also home to a booming population, in part because of the 1987 expansion of McCarran International Airport, which cost a cool $300 million and created thousands of new jobs in the area. The Las Vegas metropolitan area contains about three-fourths of the Nevada population. #27. Oklahoma City, OK - 2018 population estimate: 649,021 people Despite migration from the city to suburban areas in the 1960s, when the oil that had been a source of wealth in the area dried up, the population of Oklahoma City has steadily been increasing since the 1970s. Renovations proposed by Mayor Ron Norick in the early 1990s helped to revitalize the downtown area, and even bad press from the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 did not deter new residents. #26. Memphis, TN - 2018 population estimate: 650,618 people Home to the late Elvis Presley, Memphis has experienced a decline in growth in recent years while its neighboring city of Nashville outpaces it in terms of expansion. As of 2018, the Memphis metro area was showing growth, but only at a rate of 1.77% from 2010 to 2017. #25. Portland, OR - 2018 population estimate: 653,115 people Since the Great Recession of the mid-2000s, Portland has seen several changes to its metropolitan area. The Pacific Northwest city has experienced significant gentrification , which has caused the population to rise steadily and changed the makeup of the city. #24. Nashville, TN - 2018 population estimate: 669,053 people Music City is more than the home of country music; its industries include education, manufacturing, and publishing and printing. While the state of Tennessee has been declining in population in the past few years, the capital city continues to attract new residents . #23. Detroit, MI - 2018 population estimate: 672,662 people Detroit's population has been on the decline for the past half-century , and concerns about Michigan's representation in Congress are afoot. The state is seeing more of a reshuffling of long-term residents than an influx of new ones, which may cost Michigan crucial seats following the 2020 census. #22. El Paso, TX - 2018 population estimate: 682,669 people Although its population grew at a rate of 7.8% annually between 1950 and 1960, the numbers have dropped off in El Paso, and the population growth rate hit an eight-decade low earlier this year. Journalists and others attribute this migration away from El Paso to a lack of job opportunities those with a college education or higher seek higher wages outside the city, and those with below a college-level education seek work outside the city as well. #21. Boston, MA - 2018 population estimate: 694,583 people According to a January 2019 study from the Boston Planning and Development Agency Research Division, the capital of Massachusetts is becoming more diverse and also more expensive as time goes by. Also unsurprisingly, the city remains well-educated, with more than one-fifth of its residents in possession of a graduate or professional degree as of 2017. #20. Washington D.C. - 2018 population estimate: 702,455 people The U.S. capital experienced a steady growth rate of 1.4% as recently as 2017, ranking it 8th among the states in percent growth. Some of this growth could be attributed to international and domestic migration as well as natural increase (i.e., a higher birth rate than death rate), part of a decade-long upward trend in the city . #19. Denver, CO - 2018 population estimate: 716,492 people Denver has experienced explosive population growth since the 1990s, creating a long-running population boom that mirrors that of the state of Colorado as a whole. Having surpassed the 700,000 mark a few years ago, the city continues to grow with few signs of slowing soon. #18. Seattle, WA - 2018 population estimate: 744,955 people Seattle is making headlines as the fastest-growing big city in all the U.S. In the past decade, the rainy city has grown by more than 18.7%, outpacing its fellow trendsetter, Austin. #17. Indianapolis, IN - 2018 population estimate: 867,125 people Population growth in Indiana has been slow but steady in recent years; this can be attributed to migration from other states as well as a higher birth than death rate. In 2017, approximately 23,000 new residents joined the Indianapolis metro area, and the region is the primary driver of population growth in the state. #16. Charlotte, NC - 2018 population estimate: 872,498 people Charlotte has one of the fastest growth rates of any U.S. city  59.6% in the past decade , to be precise. New residents are drawn to the bustling economy, which accounts for 26% of North Carolina's GDP, as well as the low cost of living and livability of the city. #15. San Francisco, CA - 2018 population estimate: 883,305 people Despite sky-high rents, San Francisco continues to add residents at a rate of 10,000 14,000 residents per year on average in the past decade. New arrivals are particularly drawn to the mild weather, cultural scene, and tech jobs. #14. Columbus, OH - 2018 population estimate: 892,533 people Unlike many of its neighbors in the Midwest, Columbus has gained residents and kept up with the pace of some of the fast-growing cities in the Sun Belt or PNW. Many cities in the Midwest have experienced a downturn in population since the 1960s , but the population in Columbus has nearly doubled, perhaps due to a strong housing market and income growth, both of which attract young professionals. #13. Fort Worth, TX - 2018 population estimate: 895,008 people Fort Worth, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, gained 1 million new residents in the years 2010 2018, the fastest growth of any metropolitan area in the country. The state has prepared for this level of growth in DFW and the surrounding suburbs by laying smart infrastructure that will enable residents to get to and from work easily and passing bills limiting property taxes. #12. Jacksonville, FL - 2018 population estimate: 903,889 people The city of Jacksonville, known as the River City, grew at a faster rate than Miami in 2018 and had the seventh-largest rate of growth in the country. The growth rate has been just under 10% since 2010, about half of which includes newcomers from international locations . #11. Austin, TX - 2018 population estimate: 964,254 people The population of Austin has nearly doubled from its count of approximately 497,000 in 1990 to what it is today. In fact, the population of the Texas city is predicted to reach 1 million by 2020 , thanks to about 100 people per day moving to the city. #10. San Jose, CA - 2018 population estimate: 1,030,119 people The third-largest city in California behind Los Angeles and San Diego, San Jose is a diverse community where the primary language spoken at home is English, at 43%, followed by Spanish and Asian/Pacific Island languages evenly split at around 25% each. The city surpassed the 1 million residents mark and continues to grow at about .9% per year, largely due to construction of new housing. #9. Dallas, TX - 2018 population estimate: 1,345,047 people The Lone Star State's DFW metro area is experiencing tremendous growth; over the years 2010 2018, over 1 million people moved to the region, part of a larger trend in Texas as a whole. However, the rural areas in the state are suffering as emphasis and influence moves to the cities. #8. San Diego, CA - 2018 population estimate: 1,425,976 people San Diego's proximity to Mexico and its economy's global-recruitment capabilities make it one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse places in the country, in addition to being the home of 1.4 million people. Its recent growth places it among an elite few cities that are high in both population and growth. #7. San Antonio, TX - 2018 population estimate: 1,532,233 people As with other cities that are experiencing large population growth, San Antonio's leaders must plan well to make way for the thousands of new residents coming in every year. The city has traditionally been a place for history and is the home of the Alamo. #6. Philadelphia, PA - 2018 population estimate: 1,584,138 people After 30 years of population losses that began in the 1970s , the birthplace of America has experienced slow growth in recent years. Despite 12 years of increases in population , there are more people leaving the city than coming in, making for a net loss. #5. Phoenix, AZ - 2018 population estimate: 1,660,272 people As of 2019, Phoenix is the fastest-growing city in the country, adding more than 25,000 new residents between 2017 and 2018. Much of that activity centers around jobs from big tech and manufacturing firms. #4. Houston, TX - 2018 population estimate: 2,325,502 people Though they're not growing at quite the same speed as Dallas, the combination of the Houston, Austin, and San Antonio metro areas brings in 85% of the new residents to the state . Despite the 2015 oil bust, which the Houston economy depends on, that there continues to be growth in the area is a good sign. #3. Chicago, IL - 2018 population estimate: 2,705,994 people Like many other cities in the Midwest, Chicago is actually losing population at a rate of .23% annually . This is similar to metro areas including Los Angeles and New York, but it's happening at a faster rate in Chicago and could affect political representation for Cook County residents soon. #2. Los Angeles, CA - 2018 population estimate: 3,990,456 people Los Angeles has been both home to and the subject of many movies, but is it a great place to live? More and more people seem to be saying no, as the population has been shrinking in recent years; with the Golden Age of Hollywood many years in the past, the city is struggling with housing affordability and a lack of new home construction . #1. New York, NY - 2018 population estimate: 8,398,748 people The city that never sleeps is also the most populous in the U.S., but like Chicago, its population is shrinking to the point where it is at risk of losing political representation after the 2020 census. Recent data shows that the population fell between 2010 and 2018 as a result of domestic migration , which was not entirely offset by foreign immigration.


Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were together recently, at least long enough to snap a selfie. Brady shared the picture on his Instagram and (relatively new) Twitter, captioning it "Spoiler alert… we were friends this whole time. Always great to see you Peyton!" Both QBs were in suits, but the difference in the details in attire - Brady's sleek black and white look versus Manning's loud orange and blue - as well as in their expressions and general reputations as personalities drew jokes from the internet. Spoiler alert… we were friends this whole time. Always great to see you Peyton! pic.twitter.com/DzscouMxsl - Tom Brady (@TomBrady) June 26, 2019 Of course Brady managed to look unflappable staring into the sun, while Manning's face looked like any normal person's probably would. Blame it on either the hairlines that correspond with the men being in their 40s or simply genetics, but fans on the internet had fun with Brady and Manning's foreheads, too. The real spoiler alert here: no one - not even a pair of the greatest QBs to ever play in the NFL - is safe from internet trolling.

Phil Dawson returned to his NFL roots on Friday. The longtime kicker signed a one-day contract with the Cleveland Browns to formally retire as a member of the team with which he spent his first 14 seasons. During his retirement speech, Dawson told a story of a fun encounter with Browns legend and Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker Lou Groza. Groza greeted Dawson during his rookie campaign back in 1999. Dawson takes the story from there: "I have to tell you a little side note on that real quick, my first training camp here I was summoned over to the tent, and Mr. Groza wanted to speak with me. I could not believe I was getting a chance to speak with Mr. Groza. He said some very nice things, and I finally had the nerve to ask a question and I said, 'What do I do in the stadium?' He goes, 'You know those flags on the uprights?' I said, 'Yes sir.' He goes, 'They tell you which way the wind is blowing.' This is going to make headlines: Mr. Groza was wrong because I can't tell you how many times I looked at those uprights and one flag was pointing that way and one flag was pointing that way. Not every day you get to correct a Hall of Famer." Dawson mastered those tricky winds on the Lake Erie shore, even if it took defying the advice of one of the legends of the game. Enjoy retirement, Phil!

Jean-Eric Vergne extended his 2018/19 ABB FIA Formula E championship lead by claiming pole for the Swiss E-Prix in Bern, where his closest title rival Lucas di Grassi qualified 19th. DS Techeetah driver Vergne will share the front row with Jaguar's Mitch Evans, with di Grassi joined towards the rear of the field by another championship contender Antonio Felix da Costa. Evans had topped the group running, but Vergne's 1m18.813s lap in superpole was unbeatable. The reigning champion set a blistering time in sector one and held on through the rest of the tour to take his second pole of the season and the three points that go with it. Evans clipped the inside wall on the uphill run through the long left of Turn 6 during his superpole effort and wound up 0.307s behind Vergne. But Evans did enough in sector three   setting the best final segment of superpole   to deprive home driver Sebastien Buemi of a front row slot. Buemi recovered from a lockup at the tight downhill Turn 1 opposite the pitlane to post a 1m19.164s in third. Mahindra Racing's Pascal Wehrlein had topped the practice running, but a couple of mistakes in the middle sector   missing the apex at the left of Turn 7 and a heavy lockup at the left of Turn 9 that follows the attack mode activation zone   cost him time. Wehrlein will start fourth ahead of Maximilian Gunther, who equalled his best FE grid position with fifth, which he also secured in Rome and Paris for Dragon Racing. Sam Bird took sixth after losing time in the middle sector on his superpole flying lap for Envision Virgin Racing. Daniel Abt missed out on a superpole place after Gunther made it through to the second phase with the best lap in group four, which left Audi's Abt seventh on the grid. Andre Lotterer and Robin Frijns ended up as the second and third fastest group one runners but they were shuffled out of superpole contention as the first segment of qualifying went on and they will start eighth and ninth. Alex Lynn rounded out the top 10 for Jaguar, as Mahindra Racing driver Jerome d'Ambrosio took 11th ahead of Venturi's Felipe Massa and Oliver Rowland (Nissan e.dams). Jose Maria Lopez will start 14th, followed by Stoffel Vandoorne and his HWA teammate Gary Paffett. Alex Sims headed Edoardo Mortara in 17th and 18th, ahead of the slowest group one runners Grassi and da Costa. That pair were the first drivers to set their 250kW laps in group one, with di Grassi running first on the road and opting for an extra warm-up lap, while da Costa went for the single preparation lap approach and ended up following the Audi driver at the head of the queue in front of Lotterer, Vergne and Frijns. They were both only 0.2s slower than Vergne in sector one but they lost more time as their laps went on   with di Grassi locking up at the tight left-hand Turn 9 that follows the attack mode activation zone. They will start 19th and 20th, only ahead of the NIO drivers Tom Dillmann and Oliver Turvey, who brought up the rear of the field. : ClaDriverTeamTimeGap 1 Jean-Eric Vergne Techeetah 1'18.813 2 Mitch Evans Jaguar Racing 1'19.120 0.307 3 Sébastien Buemi Nissan e.dams 1'19.164 0.351 4 Pascal Wehrlein Mahindra Racing 1'19.168 0.355 5 Maximilian Gunther Dragon Racing 1'19.371 0.558 6 Sam Bird Virgin Racing 1'19.536 0.723 View full results
