A's hold off Abreu, White Sox 5-3, force series to Game 3

Oakland's long-reliable regulars Marcus Semien and Khris Davis powered a couple of home runs, Mark Canha made a game-saving catch against the wall and red-hot right-hander Chris Bassitt delivered the start of his life. Semien and Davis connected early and Oakland's bullpen barely held off Jose Abreu and the Chicago White Sox late for a 5-3 win Wednesday that sent the AL playoff series to a deciding Game 3. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3l2ODVQ

Auschwitz director offers to serve time in place of 13-year-old Nigerian sentenced to 10 years for blasphemy

Image
The director of the Auschwitz Memorial in Poland has offered to serve time for a Nigerian child who was convicted of blasphemy and ordered to spend ten years in prison by a Sharia court . In an open letter, Piotr Cywinski asked Nigeria’s President to intervene and pardon 13-year-old Omar Farouq for the conviction. “As the director of the Auschwitz memorial, which commemorates the victims and preserves the remains of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camps, where children were imprisoned and murdered, I cannot remain indifferent to this disgraceful sentence for humanity,” he wrote. Omar Farouq was arrested earlier this year by religious police in Kano, Nigeria’s second-largest city, after he had a ‘blasphemous’ conversation with an older man. His conviction by a religious court has provoked condemnation by the United Nations and global human rights groups. Mr Cywinski told The Telegraph that he felt he had to act when he heard about Omar. “When I heard about this story las

Universities could be asked to end face-to-face teaching early to allow students home for Christmas

Image
Universities could be forced to end face-to-face teaching early this term and students told to quarantine in halls in order to go home at Christmas, Gavin Williamson has announced. The Education Secretary sought to quell fears of students being unable to see their families over the festive period, insisting that “every student” would be able to leave university at the end of term. However, he said in order to do so some may be required to quarantine beforehand, requiring universities in certain areas to end “in-person learning early” and shift the remainder of the term online. Mr Williamson said this would only be required for institutions where there were “specific cases” or “specific local circumstances” adding that it would apply to a “very small number of universities.” His comments suggest that universities based in areas with high infection rates will be asked to stop normal teaching before other parts of the country, although a Whitehall source said this would be clarified in ne

Barrett Lamented ‘Very Brutal’ Confirmation Process in 2019 Speech, Blamed ‘Dangerous’ Drift toward Judicial ‘Policymaking’

Image
Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s pick to replace Justice Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, warned in a private discussion at Notre Dame last year that the judicial nomination process “has gotten very brutal” due to “a fundamental misunderstanding of the judicial role.”Footage of the event, which went public Tuesday, shows Barrett and Amul Thapar, a federal appeals judge for the Sixth Circuit who is also on President Trump’s shortlist for the Supreme Court, discussing their backgrounds and judicial philosophy in a far-ranging conversation.Barrett, already the topic of heavy scrutiny for her family’s involvement in a charismatic Christian group, spoke candidly on the topic of judicial confirmations — referencing comments made by Ginsburg after Justice Kavanaugh’s 2018 hearing, of which the late justice said “the way it was, was right. The way it is, is wrong."“Part of that is because people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the judicial role,” Barrett explained. “If you think

Why Didn’t Obamacare’s Mandate Work?

Image
This November, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case of California v. Texas, which centers on the constitutionality of the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. The case — which is gaining renewed attention in the wake of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death — will focus specifically on the legitimacy of the ACA’s individual mandate, the necessity and effectiveness of which have been points of contention among scholars for years.But they need not be. New findings from the Census Bureau released last week have effectively settled the debate, confirming that the mandate’s repeal in 2019 by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act did not significantly lower health-insurance coverage levels in the United States. The better question to ask is why did the individual mandate fail in its intended purpose to increase enrollment?The Congressional Budget Office originally estimated that the absence of the individual mandate would increase the number of Americans without health ins

Defense attorney tells U.S. court she asked Trump not to pardon Michael Flynn

Image
The lead attorney for U.S. President Donald Trump's former national security adviser on Tuesday told a federal judge that she has discussed the ongoing criminal case with the president and asked him not to pardon Michael Flynn, an extraordinary admission that raises questions about political interference. At the same hearing, U.S. Justice Department lawyers denied any corruption or political motives in efforts to get the federal criminal case against Flynn dropped. In May, Attorney General William Barr stunned many in the legal community by ordering prosecutors to have the case dropped, a decision that came after Trump repeatedly complained that Flynn was being treated unfairly. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260727 https://ift.tt/33aHz3q

Wisconsin justices weigh removal of 130K from voter rolls

The Wisconsin Supreme Court weighed Tuesday whether to go along with conservatives who argue that 130,000 voters should be removed from the rolls in the hotly contested presidential battleground state, while the Democratic attorney general defended not purging them. The Wisconsin case is one of several lawsuits across the country, many in battleground states, that seek to purge voters from registration rolls.

Jota scores, Liverpool rallies to beat Arsenal 3-1 in EPL

Diogo Jota marked his first game for Liverpool in the English Premier League with the last goal as the champions beat Arsenal 3-1 for a third straight victory to open their title defense on Monday. Signed this month from Wolverhampton to add depth to Liverpool's forward options, Jota looked dangerous after coming on as a second-half substitute for Sadio Mane, and got his goal in the 88th minute with a shot from the edge of the area following a poor headed clearance from David Luiz. Before that, Andrew Robertson atoned for an error that led to the opening goal for Arsenal by Alexandre Lacazette by scoring himself to put Liverpool in front in the 34th, capping a chaotic nine-minute period when three goals went in. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/3cIz2Im

Trooper quietly buried amid scrutiny over Black man's death

A Louisiana state trooper who died in a single-car crash just hours after he was told he would be fired for his role in the death of a Black man was buried with honors Friday at a ceremony that authorities sought to keep secret out of concerns it would attract a mass protest. State Police officials and family members mourned Master Trooper Chris Hollingsworth under tight security at services that marked the latest turn in the long-simmering in-custody death case of Ronald Greene, which has prompted a federal civil-rights probe and increasing calls for authorities to release body-camera video.

Students 'treated like criminals' after they are banned from Scottish pubs and family homes

Students have been banned from visiting their family homes and will be ordered to stay away from pubs, after a surge in coronavirus cases in Scottish halls of residence left more than 1,000 teenagers in self-isolation. Nicola Sturgeon was accused of a “shocking lack of foresight” for failing to do more to prevent a rapidly escalating crisis, with a series of major Covid-19 outbreaks emerging in university accommodation since students arrived earlier this month. In a draconian set of new rules agreed between universities and backed by SNP ministers on Thursday night, all students will be ordered to “avoid all socialising outside of their households” including visiting pubs, bars or restaurants this weekend. It means students will face significantly harsher rules than any other group in society. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260727 https://ift.tt/2RY7g0E
