Despite the return of the Premier League this weekend, it's still pre-season friendly time for the most of Europe. On Saturday, Italian heavyweights Inter take on Valencia at the Mestalla in both teams' final game before the campaign officially starts. With two really good teams on show, it should be an exciting way to cap off the summer friendlies ahead of the new season in Italy and Spain. Have a look below for 90min's preview of the match. Where to Watch  When Is Kick Off? Saturday 10 August What Time Is Kick Off 20:30 (BST) Where Is It Played? Mestalla TV Channel/Live Stream? N/A Referee? N/A Team News Valencia have no injury problems and go into the game with all their players available. However, Diego Godin suffered a thigh injury for Inter and will be out for a few weeks - meaning he may also miss the first few games of Serie A. On a positive note, Valentino Lazaro returns to the squad after injury, but may not be fit enough to start. Mauro Icardi is also still not in the Inter squad as Conte doesn't have the Argentine in his plans for the new season. New signing Romelu Lukaku is unlikely to start following his move from Manchester United on Thursday, but could still feature in some capacity. Predicted Lineups  Valencia Cillessen; Wass, Garay, Paulista, Gaya; Soler, Kondogbia, Parejo; Cheryshev, Rodrigo, Gomez. Inter Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, De Vrij, Skriniar; Candreva; Sensi, Brozovic, Barella; Dalbert, Lautaro, Esposito. Head to Head Record The two teams played against each other on ten occasions previously, with the pair playing out five draws, Inter winning three and Valencia two. The last time they played in a competitive fixture was back in 2007 when Valencia knocked out Inter in the knockout stages of the Champions League on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate draw. Recent Form Valencia have had an okay pre-season. Alongside a few wins, they have also been handed a couple of defeats, making for a generally inconsistent set of results. They will be wanting to wrap up their preparations with victory over Inter. Inter have also had an iffy set of results. They started with a win against Lugano, but then failed to win any games over 90 minutes, although they did win two penalty shootouts. Here's how the two sides have performed in their last five games. Valencia  Inter Bayern 1-2 Valencia (4/8) Tottenham 1-1 Inter (4/8) Brighton 2-1 Valencia (2/8) PSG 1-1 Inter (27/7) Sporting CP 1-2 Valencia (28/7) Juventus 1-1 Inter (24/7) Sion 0-3 Valencia (23/7) Manchester United 1-0 Inter (20/7) Monaco 1-0 Valencia (20/7) Lugano 1-2 Inter (14/7) Prediction  Both teams will want to get a win on the board in their final pre-season game, but at the same time may want to not risk picking up any injuries just before their leagues start. In front of the home crowd though, Valencia may be more pumped up than Inter to get the win for the watching fans. Prediction: Valencia 2-1 Inter


Veteran cornerback Jamar Taylor is set to sign with the Seahawks, sources tell Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter ). Terms of the deal are not yet known, but the two sides may hammer out terms on Thursday as Taylor meets with coaches and tours the facility. Taylor should figure into the Seahawks' slot corner competition where he would potentially replace the departed Justin Coleman . The 2013 second-round pick spent the first three seasons of his career with the Dolphins before being dealt to the Browns. He was productive during his two seasons with Cleveland, including a 2016 campaign where he had three interceptions and 13 passes defended. In 2017, he appeared in a career-high 16 games and finished with a career-high 62 tackles. Taylor, who will turn 29 in September, will battle with Akeem King , Kalan Reed , Jeremy Boykins and rookie Ugo Amadi for the primary slot role. Earlier this offseason, coach Pete Carroll indicated that the nickel spot would be wide open in camp.


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don't open training camp for over a month, so you can expect the guys to be soaking in as much rest and relaxation as they can before the grind of the 2019 season goes into full swing.

LONDON, May 29 (Reuters) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani signaled on Wednesday that talks with the United States might be possible if Washington lifted sanctions, days after U.S. President Donald Trump said a deal with Tehran on its nuclear programme was conceivable. Washington withdrew last year from a 2015 international nuclear deal with Tehran, and is ratcheting up sanctions in efforts to shut down Iran's economy by ending its international sales of crude oil. Trump said on Monday: "I really believe that Iran would like to make a deal, and I think that's very smart of them, and I think that's a possibility to happen." Rouhani said in remarks carried by state television: "Whenever they lift the unjust sanctions and fulfill their commitments and return to the negotiations table, which they left themselves, the door is not closed." "But our people judge you by your actions, not your words." Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said on Tuesday that Iran saw no prospect of negotiations with the United States. Tensions have risen between Iran and the United States since Washington deployed military resources including a carrier strike group and bombers and announced plans to deploy 1,500 troops to the Middle East, prompting fears of a conflict.

Lewis Hamilton says he now feels "conflicted" over comments he made earlier this week suggesting former team bosses should not be involved in running the sport, because after reflection he reckons someone like Toto Wolff would be an ideal candidate. The reigning world champion said after the French Grand Prix that he felt it would be better for F1 if it was run by individuals who fans did not think had links with teams. He cited the example of current FIA president Jean Todt, who used to be team boss at Ferrari, and Wolff, as good leaders but ones who could be viewed by some as not being completely neutral. But having spent the last few days thinking about what he said, Hamilton actually reckons that the sport is in need of someone like Wolff at its helm   because F1 requires someone with insider knowledge of how things operate. "I've been a bit conflicted the last few days after Sunday night," said Hamilton ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix. "I haven't spoken to Toto or to Jean [Todt] but I've got a great relationship with Jean. When we did this meeting at the FIA he was so welcoming to us as drivers, to the GPDA and really took on board. I think he's done such a great job since he's been in position. "I'm sure someone else will need to take that role and I was thinking after the race, the best person I know for managing a business, I don't know anybody else better than Toto. So I felt a bit conflicted because I made a comment but I don't feel like I probably got out exactly what I was meaning. "Over these past couple of days I was thinking to myself, you know, bringing someone in that doesn't know much about Formula 1 is not necessarily the right decision and if you look at people like Toto for example, he's been in two different teams, he's also been in a different business before. "If you could see how this company is managed from the top down I don't know how he does it. I could never do his job and it's a good thing he could never do my job as well!" Read Also: Why F1 must listen to Lewis Hamilton Hamilton believes Wolff shouldn't run Formula 1 Wolff not contemplating leaving Mercedes amid F1 job link Hamilton says that having worked for Wolff for many years, he has been impressed by the Austrian's management skills and the way he is able to get the most out of his staff. "I'm fascinated by how people manage businesses and how you find people, people management, putting people in the right position," he added. "I don't know anyone else that is able to do as good a job as him in that respect. "I obviously know people from outside in different businesses, but even those I don't think do as good a job as him. But that's because I'm within the organisation and I see it first-hand. "I think Toto could do a pretty special job. Would it be better? I do believe it would be better, but that's just from the experience of working in this organisation and seeing it improve drastically since I've been in the team."


The Lakers are continuing to add depth to their roster, this time at the center position, as DeMarcus Cousins will be joining the Lakers on a one-year deal, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN: Free agent center DeMarcus Cousins has agreed to a one-year deal with the Lakers, agent Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports tells ESPN.   Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 6, 2019 According to Wojnarowski , Cousins' deal will be worth $2.3 million. Cousins and JaVale McGee , another former Warriors center, are now the two fives on the roster. The former Kentucky Wildcat was originally expected to receive a maximum contract in the summer of 2018 before he tore his Achilles while with the New Orleans Pelicans in January of that year. After spending the first half of last season rehabbing in Golden State, Cousins played 30 games to close out the year and appeared to be asserting himself as a free agent target once more before injuring his calf during Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Cousins rejoined the Warriors during the NBA Finals and showed some offensive burst during the two Golden State wins. However, his defensive limitations were laid bare and he only really made his mark for the Warriors in the games when Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant went down with injuries. As a result, Cousins' market this offseason was more tepid than he and his camp might have been expected, especially once the Warriors were hard-capped through the sign-and-trade for D'Angelo Russell. That allowed the Lakers to swoop in for what has to be a fairly cheap deal, given the other contracts they have already committed to for next year's team. Cousins is still a prodigious offensive threat. He is an excellent passer for a center, has the ball-handling to create for himself from all over the floor, and can bully opposing bigs with his bulk and post skill. He has certainly lost a step from his injuries, but during the regular season last year, Cousins averaged 22.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per 36 minutes on a 56.2% true shooting percentage. He had a 111.0 offensive rating, per NBA.com , while the Lakers as a team were at 107.4 points per 100 possessions. It's on the other end of the floor that Cousins shouldn't be expected to contribute. His best skill as a post defender has historically been his willingness to take charges, but he doesn't have the lateral mobility to get good position anymore. He is probably best served as the offensive hub of a second unit to minimize his defensive impact. Cousins and Davis were previously teammates with the Pelicans in 2017-18. Per Bill Oram of The Athletic , New Orleans faired well in their minutes together. Ok... So in 2017-18, the Pelicans had an offensive rating of 108.9 and defensive rating of 103.6 when Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins were on the floor together.   Bill Oram (@billoram) July 6, 2019 However, it's disingenuous to believe that Cousins is the same player he was back with the Pelicans after his Achilles and calf injuries. The Lakers aren't signing him because they believe he is still an All-Star level talent. However, at this price and in this role, Cousins can contribute as a backup and the Lakers can go small   or prioritize McGee   on the nights that Cousins doesn't have it. This is a reasonable gamble to take, especially considering Cousins' friendships with Davis and Rajon Rondo. The Lakers significantly upgraded their talent by signing Cousins, and it should be fun to watch him take his place on what is now one of the more physical frontcourts in the NBA.

A recent analytics study published on sports fandom ranked the Buffalo Bills and their fans, better known as Bills Mafia, as the 19th best fan base in the NFL. Huh? Sports analytics expert Mike Lewis released his yearly findings on Monday called "Fanalytics." Lewis explains the list as "a quantitative analysis of NFL fandom. The analysis is grounded in economic and marketing theory, and uses statistical tools to shed light on the question of which teams have the most loyal or 'best' fans." Furthermore, the analyst states the approach uses "data on attendance, revenues, social media following and road attendance to develop statistical models of fan interest." More on the study can be found here . In the study, the Cowboys, Patriots, Eagles, Steelers and Giants landed under the "winners" section as the top-five fan bases. The "losers" were the Bengals, Jaguars, Titans, Chiefs and Rams, otherwise known as the bottom-five. As one can tell, the formula is complex and attentive to detail. But instead, we'll just default to the "man-alytics" on this one. C'mon, Fanalytics. Spend one sunny Sunday in Orchard Park in October, even if the team is 0-4, and you'll still check an ungodly amount of Bill-evers still supporting the team. While Patriots fans (est. 2002) are ranked second, that's not the only slap in Bills Mafia's face. Dolphins fans come in at No. 14? The Jets are just behind Buffalo at No. 20, at least.

LONDON (AP)   The U.K. will plunge into recession if it leaves the European Union without a divorce deal, with the pound plunging in value and the economy shrinking by 2% in a year, Britain's official economic watchdog said Thursday. The Office for Budget Responsibility made its assessment as chances of an economically disruptive no-deal Brexit appear to be rising. Both men vying to take over next week as Britain's prime minister, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, say they will lead the U.K. out of the bloc, with or without an agreement on terms. They claim that Britain can withstand any resulting turbulence, but most economists predict the economic shock would be severe. The OBR, which provides the U.K. government with independent economic forecasts, said a no-deal Brexit would see "heightened uncertainty and declining confidence deter investment, while higher trade barriers with the EU weigh on exports." It predicted GDP would fall by 2% by the end of 2020 in a no-deal scenario, and borrowing would be around 30 billion pounds ($37 billion) a year higher from 2020-21 than it forecast in March. Britain is due to leave the EU on Oct. 31, but Parliament has repeatedly rejected the divorce deal truck between Prime Minister Theresa May and the bloc. Johnson and Hunt, who are vying to replace May as Conservative party leader and prime minister, both say they will leave without an agreement if the EU won't renegotiate. The bloc insists it won't change the 585-page withdrawal agreement, which sets out the terms of Britain's departure and includes a transition period of almost two years to allow both sides to adjust to their new relationship. "This document is the only way to leave the EU in an orderly manner," EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier told the BBC in an interview broadcast Thursday. Three years after British voters narrowly chose to leave the 28-nation EU, it remains stuck in limbo. May announced her resignation last month after failing to win Parliament's approval for her Brexit deal. Her successor is being chosen by members of the Conservative Party, most of whom are strongly in favor of Brexit and prepared to accept the risks of leaving without a deal. Johnson is the strong favorite to win the contest when the result is announced Tuesday. He claims that Britain can flourish outside the EU if it has enough optimism and "mojo," and says a no-deal Brexit will be "vanishingly inexpensive" if the country prepares properly. Many others are less sanguine. Treasury chief Philip Hammond, who has warned about the perils of a no-deal Brexit   and is likely to be fired by the next prime minister   said "I greatly fear the impact on our economy and our public finances" of a no-deal Brexit. He said the OBR forecast was based on the "most benign version" of a no-deal Brexit, and in all likelihood "the hit would be much greater, the impact would be much harder." Meanwhile, the relationship between the British government and the EU has been frayed by years of testy negotiations and allegations of ill-will on both sides. EU Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans told a BBC documentary that the British lacked a plan and were "running around like idiots" during the Brexit negotiations. He cited a catchphrase from the classic British sitcom "Dads' Army": "Don't panic!" Junior U.K. Brexit minister Martin Callanan accused Timmermans of spreading "childish insults" about the British negotiating stance. Quoting another famous riposte from "Dad's Army," he said Timmermans was a "stupid boy." ___ Casert reported from Brussels. ___ Follow AP's full coverage of Brexit and the Conservative Party leadership race at: https://www.apnews.com/Brexit


For the first time in over seven months, the Tennessee Titans are playing a football game. The team is set to make their 2019 preseason debut against the Philadelphia Eagles at 6:30 p.m. CT at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday. While the preseason is meaningless overall in terms of wins and losses, it does serve as a glimpse as to what we could expect to see from the team, as well as what many backup players are capable of. Here are three Titans players to watch against the Eagles. 1. OLB Derick Roberson AP Photo/Joe Buvid The former Sam Houston State outside linebacker has been impressive during team drills and has also shown a great deal of maturity for a young player as he broke up a skirmish early on in camp. Roberson tied for the FCS lead in sacks with 14 in 11 games last year, and could help the Titans strengthen the pass rush if he makes the team. 2. WR Kalif Raymond Steve Roberts-USA TODAY Sports With the depth the Titans have at the position, it's going to take a lot for Raymond to make the final 53-man roster. But he's been making his presence felt in camp for sure. Raymond has proved himself to be versatile, putting himself in contention to find a place on special teams, and has earned first-team reps while drawing praise from his teammates and coaches. 3. RB Alex Barnes (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) Hardly any other UDFA has turned heads quite like Barnes. He's obviously an underdog candidate, but has shown some serious flashes in practice. He was highly productive at Kansas State, posting 458 carries for 2,616 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns. He also recorded 25 receptions for 223 yards over 35 appearances. Whether or not the Titans would keep a fourth running back behind Derrick Henry, Dion Lewis and David Fluellen remains to be seen, but Barnes is a guy to keep an eye out for.

Two Warriors stars suffered major injuries in the NBA Finals. Kevin Durant (ruptured Achilles) will reportedly miss all of next season . What about Klay Thompson ( torn ACL )? Nick Friedell on ESPN: The feeling internally is that he will be back some point February or March kind of as the target dates. This timeline creates fascinating choices for Golden State in the likely event Thompson re-signs . A team with Stephen Curry , Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala could be quite strong. Add Thompson for the playoffs, and the Warriors could contend for the 2020 title. But they must first reach the postseason. The West could be quite deep. Golden State badly needs depth. However, Warriors will pay the repeater rate if they're in the luxury tax next season. One avenue for spending unlikely to be available: a disabled-player exception. Golden State could apply if Thompson re-signs, but that's awarded only if an NBA-appointed doctor rules Thompson is "substantially more likely than not" to be out through June 15, 2020. Though the league is lenient in granting the exception, I doubt Thompson qualifies. So, it'll be on the Warriors to find other ways to build a roster with Thompson out so long but potentially back for the playoffs.


Slideshow by photo services NEW YORK   The Nielsen company says just under 8.7 million people watched opening night of the second Democratic presidential debate on CNN. That's a sharp drop from the first debate last month. Nielsen says 15.3 million people watched the first night on NBC News last month. It was considered likely that the numbers would go down for CNN, considering the NBC debate was shown on both broadcast and cable networks and took place at a time that fewer people were on vacation. A guide to the 24 Democratic contenders who want to face Trump The second night of the NBC debate was seen by 18.1 million people. CNN's second night debate takes place Wednesday and will feature former Vice President Joe Biden, who has been leading in most polls.

St. Louis, Missouri   The last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri says it expects to be shut down this week, effectively ending legal abortion in the state. In a statement Tuesday, Planned Parenthood said Missouri's health department is "refusing to renew" its annual license to provide abortion in the state. If the license is not renewed by May 31, Missouri would become the first state without a functioning abortion clinic since 1973 when Roe v. Wade was decided. Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit requesting a restraining order against the state, hoping to restore the license and avoid service disruption. A circuit court judge will hear arguments on Wednesday. Planned Parenthood would still be able to provide non-abortion health services for women in Missouri. Planned Parenthood said it plans to sue the state "in order to try to keep serving Missouri women." "This is not a drill. This is not a warning. This is a real public health crisis," said Dr. Leana Wen, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Lisa Cox, a spokesperson for The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, told CBS News on Tuesday morning via email that Planned Parenthood's license was "under review," and did not respond to additional questions. Representatives for Planned Parenthood told CBS News that the upcoming deadline follows weeks of back-and-forth with state health officials.On May 20, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services notified Planned Parenthood of three issues that could impact license renewal, according to documents reviewed by CBS News and provided by Planned Parenthood. On May 22, Planned Parenthood said it would address two of them: adjusting who at the clinic provided the state-mandated counseling and adding an additional pelvic exam for abortion patients. But it said a third request was out of its control. According to Planned Parenthood, the health department said it was investigating "deficient practices," and needed to interview seven physicians who provide care at the clinic. Planned Parenthood said it could offer interviews only with two who are its employees. The other five physicians working at the facility are residents in training and not employed by Planned Parenthood, a spokesperson for the clinic said via email on Tuesday. The state has indicated that the result of those interviews could be "board review" in addition to "criminal proceedings," the spokesperson said. The medical residents declined to be interviewed for the state's investigation. In its letter, the Department of Health wrote that it could not "complete our investigation until it interviews the physicians involved in the care provided in the potential deficient practices," and that "the investigation needs to be completed and any deficiencies resolved before the expiration of [the clinic's] license on May 31, 2019."Dr. Colleen McNicholas, a Planned Parenthood physician in St. Louis, said the agency hasn't shared details of the investigation or the potential concerns. She expected to be interviewed by the health agency Tuesday afternoon, an apparent compromise from the state, which had initially requested that interviews be conducted in a specific order with other physicians going first. "We are 100 percent committed to the best care that we can provide for patients. So certainly if there is an issue with the care we're providing we want to know about it," she said. "We want to be able to address that. But we can't do that when we're being attacked." In 2019, six states   including Missouri   have passed laws banning virtually all abortions. In each case, the laws have not yet been enacted and face court challenges . But now it appears Missouri would be losing its last clinic as a result of state regulations, not a new law. Clinics that can't comply with the regulations may be forced to shut their doors, something that happened to several clinics in Missouri when the state began requiring pelvic exams for medical abortions, a method administered by pill, according to McNicholas. Although Planned Parenthood, in this year's negotiations with the state, agreed to administer an extra pelvic exam for surgical abortions, the group wouldn't budge on pill-administered ones."When I say an unnecessary pelvic exam what I mean is that the state is forcing me to put my fingers in somebody's vagina when it is totally medically irrelevant," McNicholas said. "That is really bordering on harassment... I am really proud of our clinicians for taking a stand and saying you know we just won't do that to patients." In 2008, Missouri had 5 abortion clinics. "This a chilling warning for all of us that we are in a public health crisis," said Dr. Wen in an email to CBS News. "Today it's Missouri, tomorrow it could be all of America." Tune in to "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday, May 29, to hear from Planned Parenthood CEO Dr. Leana Wen .


Editor's note: The opinions in this article are the author's, as published by our content partner, and do not necessarily represent the views of MSN or Microsoft. It looks like the Trump administration's effort to rig the 2020 Census to take funding and power away from immigrant communities   and make no mistake, that's exactly what it is and nothing more   may very well succeed. The Post reports : The Supreme Court's ideological divide was on full display Tuesday, and it seemed from their questioning that the court's conservatives were likely to defer to the Trump administration on adding a question concerning citizenship to the 2020 Census form sent to every American household. [...] The outcome will be significant, given that the census ultimately helps determine congressional representation, how the federal government allots billions of dollars in funding and more. The census hasn't asked a citizenship question of each household since 1950, and three federal district court judges have forbidden the Commerce Department from adding it to the upcoming count. Subscribe to the Post Most newsletter: Today's most popular stories on The Washington Post Let me catch you up if you haven't followed this issue. When the Trump administration took office, they decided to add a question on whether you or anyone in your household is or isn't a citizen to the 2020 Census. Everyone knew exactly what the result would be: Immigrants, both legal and undocumented, would be more reluctant to answer the census at all, particularly given the aggressively anti-immigrant policies of this administration. The result, as every demographer and statistician who is associated with the census or has worked with its data agrees, will be an undercount of places where there are lots of immigrants, meaning they'll get less in federal funds and less political representation. Which is exactly the goal. But the administration had to come up with a pretext, a rationale for adding the question that didn't sound like "We want to enhance the power of Republicans." The one that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross invented was that they needed it to enforce the Voting Rights Act, which is kind of like Jack the Ripper saying the reason he carries a knife is so he can protect women. To create this cover story, Ross asked the Justice Department to "ask" the Commerce Department (which oversees the Census Bureau) to add the citizenship question, so there could be a paper trail supporting the false story. Though they were reluctant at first, eventually Justice supplied the letter . Then Ross lied to Congress , insisting that the whole idea was the Justice Department's in the first place. He also lied about having spoken to the White House about the subject; in fact, he discussed it with then-chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon and, at Bannon's suggestion, vote suppressor extraordinaire Kris Kobach. In a different world, Ross would be prosecuted for perjury. At the very least, he ought to get laughed out of court for his assertion that this all has its roots in the Trump administration's deep concern about proper enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. But as we saw in Tuesday's oral arguments, there is no pretext too disingenuous for the court's conservatives to treat it as genuine, if it's coming from Republicans. In those oral arguments, it was clear that the conservatives on the court are all in favor of adding a citizenship question. If there was any hope to forestall that possibility, it lay in the slim chance that Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. might side with the liberals. But as Ian Millhiser noted , "Roberts appeared unsympathetic to the challengers' arguments   and he asked a handful of questions that suggest he will also back the Trump administration's play." This should have been no surprise at all. If Roberts joins the other conservatives, it will be in keeping with my theory about him , which is that while he sometimes sides with the liberal justices on a particular case, he does so only when he perceives the need to save the Republican Party from itself, constraining its extremism when it would do too much political damage to the conservative cause. This theory would predict, for instance, that he will vote to uphold the Affordable Care Act in the GOP's ludicrous lawsuit seeking to strike the law down in its entirety. After all, he knows that taking away health care from tens of millions of Americans in one fell swoop, not to mention yanking away protections for people with preexisting conditions, would be a political catastrophe for the party. But this case isn't like that. The arguments are a little arcane. The Republican position has a surface plausibility to it if you know nothing about the topic. There won't be screaming headlines when the decision is handed down. And in the end most voters won't be aware it ever happened. The outcome will benefit the Republican Party, and the political fallout will be minimal. Therefore, Roberts may well support the administration. And we know what the results will be. Immigrant communities will be undercounted. Resources and power will be shifted from them to white communities. It will be one more thumb on the scale for the GOP, part of a broad campaign to rig the political system that includes a sweeping vote suppression effort aimed at African Americans and Latinos. And minority rule   the ability of Republicans to maintain power even when most Americans oppose them and their agenda   will be strengthened. Which goes to show that when you've got five partisan justices on the Supreme Court, you can do just about anything you want.

The already-thin starting pitching depth takes another hit. The Tigers ' already-thin starting pitching depth took another hit Sunday afternoon. Following a victory over the Twins , manager Ron Gardenhire announced that right-hander Tyson Ross was headed to the 10-day injured list, according to a report from Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press . Counting Michael Fulmer and Matt Moore , who are out for the season, the Tigers are now down four starters that were projected to open the season in the rotation. Fulmer, Moore , Jordan Zimmermann , and now Ross are all absent from the active roster. All were expected to eat significant innings for a rotation that is waiting on its top prospects to arrive and take the mantle in the coming years. From the Opening Day rotation, only Matthew Boyd and Spencer Turnbull , who have both been surprisingly fantastic, still remain healthy. Thankfully, Daniel Norris has been very good since moving into the rotation, but the Tigers have already reached deep into the farm for spot starters, and losing Ross only complicates that further. Ross has not been good at all in 2019. He has posted a 6.11 ERA with a 15.4 percent strikeout rate, an 11.1 percent walk rate, and an elevated 22.6 percent HR/FB rate. However, Ross is at the very least a veteran whose current numbers matters very little to the future success of the organization. Signings like him and Moore allow the club to keep their young arms in the minors to develop. While Casey Mize, Matt Manning, and Alex Faedo have all had plenty of success at Double-A Erie this season, none are ready for the majors yet, and calling them up only to get knocked around could be detrimental to their development. Ryan Carpenter and Gregory Soto have both made starts for the big club this year, and Carpenter will continue to fill in until Zimmermann is ready to come off the injured list. Unfortunately, with Ross going down, the Tigers will have to rely on someone like Soto for more innings. Both Kyle Funkhouser and Beau Burrows have looked solid in Triple-A Toledo and are the closest to being major league ready among the top pitching prospects, but they both find themselves shelved with injuries as well. That's the nature of pitching for you... So who will take Ross's spot in the rotation? That's the question that will need to be answered before Wednesday's game when the Tigers take on the greatest pitcher in the organization's history: Justin Verlander. Carpenter will go Tuesday, so the options are already slim. With Blaine Hardy's return, a bullpen day led by him and Nick Ramirez might be the best option, but that might be asking a lot out of a 'pen that could see its fair share of innings Tuesday. Soto was returned to Erie following the completion of Saturday's doubleheader, but could be an option by virtue of being on the 40-man roster. Matt Hall of the Mud Hens could also get the call, as well. Both pitchers had long outings on Saturday, though, and would be working on short rest. If the Tigers really wanted to get creative, giving Alex Faedo a taste of the majors could be a fun venture. Among the triumvirate of Mize, Manning, and Faedo, he has the lowest ceiling, but he is also the oldest of the three at 23, so service time shouldn't be an issue. He has put up very good numbers in Erie with a 3.09 ERA, while striking out 27.2 percent of batters and walking only 3.7 percent of the hitters he has faced. While minor league numbers are hardly an indicator of major league success, Faedo's stuff finally looks to be at the level of the guy they thought they were drafting in 2017, which might be enough to get him through a few starts in the majors this season. However, given the 40-man roster constraints and thinning pitching depth around the organization, this is probably a fool's bet. Expect to see someone already on the 40-man roster take the mound on Wednesday. But wait, there's more! The Tigers also activated Josh Harrison from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday. Infielder Harold Castro was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to make room for Harrison .


There is something about the PGA Championship, a quality that doesn't make the event any less entertaining than the Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship, yet provides it with its own distinct identity. Often this is viewed pejoratively the cliché is to call the PGA "the "Ringo" of men's majors. But the PGA counts every bit the same as the others Jack Nicklaus' five PGA wins are an integral part of his 18 professional majors and the championship's prestige factor is likely to increase with its move to May and its spot as the second major of the year. As the PGA settles into its new spot on the calendar in 2019, however, moments in its history that feel just so, well, PGA like. We'd argue they give the championship a character that the rest of the majors might actually envy moments of humor and levity that have an appealing, let's-not-take-ourselves-too-seriously feel. These moments deserve commemoration as well. 1916   The first PGA Championship isn't the brainchild of America's nascent golf cognoscenti, but rather of a department-store magnet. And the prize Rodman Wanamaker helped procure for the winner isn't some simple loving cup, but a 27-pound behemoth that would seemingly be hard to misplace (unless you're Walter Hagen). If the PGA's start wasn't obscure enough, who would win the PGA of America's new event? An Englishman, Jim Barnes. 1920   Jock Hutchinson gets a measure of revenge for losing in the final of the inaugural PGA in 1916 by winning four years later at Flossmoor Country Club outside Chicago. Never mind that he wasn't actually in the field initially, but when two players dropped out late, Hutchinson got the call. 1927   Walter Hagen has become synonymous with the PGA Championship by winning the event five times from 1921-'27. En route to his last victory at Cedar Crest Country Club in Dallas, he couldn't help but employ some ahead-of-its-time gamesmanship, repeatedly conceding putts early in the semifinal tilt against Al Espinosa and the finals against Joe Turnesa, only to force his opponents to make the putts late in each match. Golf mindgames are officially born. 1928   Walter Hagen finally loses the PGA, but the bigger story might be that he has lost the Wanamaker Trophy. Literally. After being beaten by Leo Diegel in the quarterfinals at Five Farms outside Baltimore, ending a run of four straight victories in the event, it surfaces that the Haig actually has misplaced the trophy, claiming he had given it to a driver to deliver to his hotel after an earlier victory. The PGA of America is forced to eventually make a replacement, but two years later, workmen going through boxes at a Detroit sporting-goods warehouse found the trophy in a sealed leather case. RELATED: The five easy ways to play Bethpage Black 1953   Ben Hogan opts not to play in the PGA, heading instead to the Open Championship, the one and only time he'd cross the Atlantic to play in the event. By doing so, he is forced to skip playing in the PGA because boat travel would make it nearly impossible to get back in time. Sure enough, he wins the claret jug at Carnoustie, after having won the Masters and U.S. Open earlier in the year, compiling one of the greatest major championship seasons ever. And Walter Burkemo becomes the answer to the trivia question of who won the year's other major, taking the PGA title at Birmingham (Mich.) Country Club. 1957   The most distinguishing feature of the PGA Championship is that the event is a match-play competition for its first 41 years. But when Lionel Hebert beats Dow Finsterwald in the final at Miami Valley Golf Club in Dayton, Ohio, the PGA of America will have wound up losing money on the event and decide in its best long-term interests, it will switch to 72-hole stroke-play format starting the next year. 1964   Arnold Palmer is the first player to shoot four rounds in the 60s in a major championship, yet finishes tied for second behind Bobby Nichols at Columbus (Ohio) C.C. It's one of three times Palmer would finish runner-up in the PGA, never winning the tournament that would have capped the career Grand Slam despite making the most starts of any player in its history (37). 1968   Despite playing in wilting July heat in San Antonio, a 48-year-old emerges as the winner at Pecan Valley. Julius Boros becomes the oldest golfer ever to claim a major championship title, a distinction he still holds. RELATED: Our top 13 picks to win the PGA at Bethpage 1987   The PGA is played at PGA National … in South Florida … in August. Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, and it's not like the championship hadn't been played in hot weather previously (see Boros). Still the result was a winning score of 287, the highest at the PGA by five strokes. Golf Digest's Dan Jenkins described the conditions this way: "A month before the championship the greens were struggling in the humidity to be 80 percent bent and 20 percent Bermuda, but then they were kidnapped by a strange fungus. By tournament time they were 80 percent dirt, 10 percent wire and 10 percent herpes." 1991   John Daly, the ninth alternate in the field at Crooked Stick Golf Club, drives through the night after being informed he's gotten into the championship, then storms the field in Indianapolis to win. In the euphoria of Daly's out-of-nowhere win, America is introduced to the golf mullet. 1996   Instead of preparing on the range for a potential playoff at Louisville's Valhalla Golf Club, Kentucky native Kenny Perry watches the final groups come in from the CBS TV booth. He promptly loses said playoff to Mark Brooks on the first hole of sudden death. An entire state goes into mourning. 2002   Rich Beem clinches his first major title at Hazeltine National. As much as he will remember his performance over the 72 holes, the collective golf audience remembers the best hula dance from a major winner since the days of Hagen. 2003   Shaun Micheel wins the PGA with one of the most memorable shots in the championship's history, a 7-iron to two inches on the 18th at Oak Hill. Making the victory all the more amazing is the fact it was his lone PGA Tour win and one of just two top-20 finishes he would ever post in 31 major championship starts (the other being a runner-up at the 2006 PGA). 2005   Bad weather at New Jersey's Baltusrol Golf Club forces a handful of players to come back on Monday to complete the championship. Yet the clubhouse leader at the end of Sunday, Tiger Woods, decided to fly home anyway, presumably believing one of the players finishing up on Monday would pass him. Sure enough, Phil Mickelson did. 2006   Speaking of which, Tiger Woods claims the fourth of his four PGA Championship titles at Southern Hills. He's paired on the final day with Luke Donald, who infamously decides to wear a red shirt despite knowing Woods' color of choice for Sundays. By the second hole, Donald is regretting the decision. 2010   Dustin Johnson may one day win the Wanamaker Trophy, maybe even next week at Bethpage. Until then, he'll be remembered for having unwittingly lost the title at Whistling Straits when, leading by one stroke, he hits his drive on the 72nd hole right into a sandy area where spectators had been standing. He then mistakenly grounds his club before hitting his second shot, unaware that the spot is considered a bunker. He taps in for a bogey 5 and thinks he'll be in playoff, only to have a PGA of America official explain his mistake, give him a two-stroke penalty and drop him into a tie for fifth place. 2014   Wet weather plagues the final round at Valhalla as the final groups race daylight to try to finish. Rory McIlroy holds off Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler but only after they let him tee off on the 18th hole while they're in the fairway and hit his approach shot while they were still on the green so that he can finish the round and not have to return the next morning. 2016   A return to Baltusrol brings more bad weather, forcing officials to finish the third round and play the fourth round on Sunday. Circumstances are such that the PGA of America agrees to allow golfers to play under "lift, clean and place" rules in the fairway in the final round, which is believed to be the first time "preferred lies" had been OK'd in a major. 2017   PGA of America officials adopt a policy found on the European Tour and allow players to wear shorts during practice rounds. Given the hot, humid conditions at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.,, several participants jump at the chance. "I don't recognize some of these guys out here," joked Lucas Glover, "and I'm sure they probably don't recognize me either." 2019   PGA of America officials approve a medical exemption under the Americans with Disabilities Act that allows former champion John Daly, who suffers from osteroarthritis in his right knee, to use a golf cart during this year's PGA at Bethpage. It's the first time since 2012 that a competitor at a major will use a cart (Casey Martin was allowed to ride during the U.S. Open at Olympic Club). The irony behind the PGA of America's decision: Bethpage Black is a walking-only course for the public.

A woman who planted drugs at a highway rest area for inmates working on a road crew to smuggle into prison is now behind bars, according to the South Carolina Department of Corrections, or SCDOC. Jahbrisha Marie Ebony Pennick left marijuana, tobacco and other contraband at a rest area off Interstate 26 for it to be picked up by an inmate from MacDougall Correctional Institution who was working on a litter crew, SCDOC said in a news release. The plan was for that inmate to sneak the drugs into the prison, where it would be delivered to another inmate, according to the news release. On May 31, the 31-year-old Ladson resident left the drugs at an abandoned rest stop for an inmate, who was caught in possession of marijuana and tobacco, an arrest warrant shows. SCDOC officers listened to recorded phone calls between the Charleston-area woman and an inmate and learned Pennick had left packages at the rest area to be picked up by another prisoner on May 23 and 31, and was planning to make another drop on June 21, according to an arrest warrant. Armed with this information, the June 21 package was found by law enforcement, an arrest warrant shows. Pennick was arrested Monday and charged with distribution of marijuana, criminal conspiracy and two counts of introducing contraband into MacDougall Correctional Institution, SCDOC said in the news release. The Ridgeville prison is a medium-security institution for men, and one of the community services it offers to the Department of Transportation is an inmate labor crew that picks up trash along interstate highways, under the supervision of correctional officers, according to the SCDOC. More charges could be filed as the case continues to be investigated, SCDOC said.     ©2019 The State (Columbia, S.C.)

Ever see dogs pull off a trick like this before? Impressive!


A federal court in Washington, DC, has unsealed five search warrants that special counsel Robert Mueller obtained while investigating Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer. The documents are from 2017, before Mueller referred the Cohen investigation to federal prosecutors in Manhattan. In all, dozens of pages of documents were unsealed. The first application for a search warrant came in July 2017 and was for Cohen's Gmail account. Mueller's team told a judge there was probable cause to believe that Cohen was acting as a foreign agent and was lying to banks. Cohen reported to prison earlier this month after he pleaded guilty in August 2018 to tax evasion, false statements to a bank and campaign finance violations tied to hush money payments he made or orchestrated on behalf of Trump. This story is breaking and will be updated.


Surprise! You're probably making a bunch of money mistakes, and they may be costing you a lot -- like many hundreds or thousands of dollars. Here's a look at five common -- and costly -- money mistakes that many people make. See how many apply to you and how much money you might be able to keep in your pocket (or your retirement accounts) by changing your ways. Mistake No. 1: Being oblivious to recurring charges This mistake is easy to make because it involves expenses that are largely hidden. Unless you're in the (good) habit of regularly reviewing your credit card bills, you can easily not notice that you're being charged certain amounts regularly -- and often needlessly. (Worse still, many automatic monthly charges increase over time, too, which most people don't notice.) For example, you may have stopped going to your local gym three years ago, but you forgot to cancel your membership so you've been forking over $40 every month. Over three years, that would amount to a hefty $1,440. Similarly, you may be paying $150 or more to your cable company each month despite streaming most of your entertainment. Cutting the cord in favor of paying for a few cheap streaming services might save you $100 a month -- $1,200 per year. You may even be paying for subscriptions going to a previous address! Mistake No. 2: Staying at your job too long You may think that you've done well to have stayed at your current job for many years, but to maximize your income, you might want to think about moving on. According to Forbes, "Staying employed at the same company for over two years on average is going to make you earn less over your lifetime by about 50% or more." The folks at human resource management company Automatic Data Processing studied data related to 24 million workers and found workers get the biggest increases in their salary when they've been at their job for at least two years but not more than five years. An added benefit of job-hopping to boost your income is that it can also boost your Social Security benefits since they're based on your earnings history. By earning more, you'll likely be able to sock away more money for retirement. Mistake No. 3: Not asking for a raise Job-hopping isn't for everyone, though. Some just don't have the stomach for it, or they may simply really love the job they've got. You can aim to earn more in your current position by doing one simple thing: asking for a raise. A recent survey from PayScale found among those who asked for a raise at work, about 70% received some sort of increase. (And by the way -- only 37% of workers surveyed had bothered to ask for a raise.) Mistake No. 4: Not reviewing your insurance regularly Go ahead and pat yourself on the back if you've got all the insurance you should have -- covering your health, life, car, home, and even your apartment if you're a renter. But you're not done. Insurance isn't something to set and forget if you want to keep your costs down. Ideally, you should spend an hour or two each year contacting a variety of insurers to review your coverage for each kind of insurance and to get fresh quotes. Shopping around for better rates regularly can potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year. Insurers use different formulas to determine their rates, and the formulas can change over time. Different insurers might offer the best deal in different years. Keep an insurer's reputation in mind, too, and don't switch to one that's not rated highly. Another way to save on insurance is to bundle your policies -- an insurer might give you a discount on all your policies if you're covered under two or more policies. Consider increasing your deductible, too. The higher your deductible, the lower the monthly premium. (Just be sure that you can afford to pay the deductible should you need to.) According to Quadrant Information Services, raising your car insurance deductible from $250 to $500 will save, on average, about 7%. Raising it to $1,000 can save 9%, while going for a $2,000 deductible can lop an average of 16% off your premium. Of course, those are averages and some people will be able to save even more, so this is a money-saving strategy worth exploring. Mistake No. 5: Not doing any estate planning Finally, the last common and costly mistake many people make is putting off their estate planning. We all need to tend to this, and not just when we are approaching retirement. Even if you're still in your 30s, it's smart to have a will prepared, along with a durable power of attorney for finances, a living will, and a healthcare power of attorney (sometimes called a healthcare proxy). Even young people can end up temporarily or permanently incapacitated, and plenty of people die decades sooner than they expect to. Getting these documents and arrangements in order can save your loved ones a lot of trouble and potentially a lot of money, too. Be sure to keep your listed beneficiaries up to date for all your financial accounts as well. The more financial errors you avoid making, the more money you'll be able to keep in your pocket -- or in your retirement coffers.


The countdown to the regular season continues for the Arizona Cardinals and there are now 40 days until they take the field at home against the Detroit Lions.

Gary Woodland and Justin Rose slugged it out all day across 18 holes Saturday during the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. And they'll do the same on Sunday. Woodland took advantage of cool temperatures and an even cooler demeanor to hold his 36-hole lead throughout the third-round at Pebble Saturday. Woodland shot an impressive 69 beneath cloudy skies as he darkened the championship hopes for nearly everyone else left in the field. He sits alone atop the leaderboard at 11-under and leads Rose by 1 shot. Rose used all the tools in his skill bag trying to keep pace with his playing partner in the day's final pairing. Rose and Woodland will be paired again in the final round Sunday. Woodland rode a wave of 34 holes without a bogey before he finally found one at No. 8 Saturday. Rose trailed by 2 shots as they made the turn. Woodland make the perhaps the most-important par save of the entire tournament at No. 12 when he dropped in his chip shot from the fringe 33 feet from the hole. Rose responded with a birdie on the same hole after hitting a 9-foot birdie putt. Rose closed with a birdie on 18 to finish with a 68 and is 10-under. Meanwhile, two-time defending champion Brooks Koepka remains in prime position for a three-peat. He trails Woodland by just 4 shots after shooting a 68 Saturday.

They've certainly taken their time, but just hours after Tottenham announced the signing of Jack Clarke from Leeds United, the club's social media team were called upon again, this time confirming the deal that everyone's been waiting for - Tanguy Ndombele. The France international has made the move from Lyon in a club-record deal for Tottenham , putting pen to paper on a six-year contract after an agreement was reached over a €60m (plus €10m in add-ons) transfer fee. ✍ We are delighted to announce the signing of Tanguy Ndombele from Olympique Lyonnais.  The France international central midfielder has signed a contract with the Club until 2025. #WelcomeTanguy ⚪ #COYS pic.twitter.com/5GhqGi1q5g   Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) July 2, 2019 Fans have been forced to wait an unbearable 517 days for a new signing, with their last addition before Tuesday's double announcement being former Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura. And while Clarke's move to the club is a fantastic building block for the future - he's been loaned straight back to Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United - the signing of Ndombele has plugged a huge gap that was missing from their squad last season. Tanguy #Ndombele is more than just a replacement for Mousa Dembele. He is what every top club would dream of in a midfielder and the sort of player any team will love to have. #Tottenham have struck gold with him and it's a lesson that good things come to those who wait.   Kaustubh Pandey (@Kaus_Pandey17) July 2, 2019 Ndombele signing is excellent specially with him joining the entire preseason training. Finally we get a replacement for Mousa Dembele, and a very good one. We still need to strengthen to push for winning the PL title. Fernandes, Lo Celso, RB and CB are needed.   LJohnson (@lazqetjohnson) July 2, 2019 Ndombele is one heck of a signing for Spurs. Similarities with Dembele, but arguably more of a creative passer. Top deal   Patrick Boyland (@Paddy_Boyland) July 2, 2019 There's so much to like about the Ndombele signing. Not only does he perfectly fit the midfield profile we've been desperate for, but he marks a shift in transfer policy that's needed to take us to the next level. A genuine world class talent who hasn't even hit his prime yet.   Jake. (@YedIin) July 2, 2019  I haven't talked about Ndombele recently in case it didn't happen. But this is the perfect signing, he replaces the Dembele role that is difficult to fill really well. He's young and a world-class, complete midfielder   Luke (@GriffinFtbl) July 2, 2019 It's a deal that Tottenham fans wanted, and it's without a doubt it's a big-money transfer that manager Mauricio Pochettino needed. But is anyone else seeing a bit of a trend with their recruitment strategy? So Spurs replaced Kyle Walker with Kyle Walker-Peters and Dembele with Ndombele. Smart.   mok. (@adare_) June 26, 2019 So Kyle Walker leaves and we get Kyle Walker-Peters. Dembele leaves and we get NDombele If Christian leaves do we get Cristiano?   Dave Ellis 路♂ (@fullback03) July 2, 2019 All jokes of Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival aside, the club's record deal for Ndombele hasn't just made its mark on fans in north London. It's a move which has even impressed other fans, pundits and journalists, with many expecting Ndombele to make an instant impact in the Premier League following his impressive performances in Europe last season. Five years ago, Tanguy Ndombélé was released from Guingamp academy. He had no club and felt that football was over for him. Four years ago, he was playing in France's 5th division with Amiens then in the 2nd division a year later. Today he has signed for Tottenham. Never give up.   Julien Laurens (@LaurensJulien) July 2, 2019 Strong statement from Spurs, looking forward to seeing what Tanguy Ndombele brings to the team next season.   Jermaine Jenas (@jjenas8) July 2, 2019 Tanguy Ndombele is an amazing signing for Spurs. Really showing signs of progress. Arsenal firmly in their shadow...   Scott Saunders (@_scottsaunders) July 2, 2019 Amazing signing by Spurs tbh. #ndombele   Matti (@stiuge) July 2, 2019 No shade here. Ndombele is an amazing signing for Tottenham. Crazy jealous but glad he's in the EPL.   Tony Chow (@Tonyhkchow) June 26, 2019 You've done good, Spurs. You've done very good.

Scroll down past the transcript to learn how to submit a question. Don't want to watch? Here's what I said in the video Hello, and welcome to your "2-Minute Money Manager." I'm your host, Stacy Johnson, and this answer is brought to you by Money Talks News, serving up the best in personal finance news and advice since 1991. Today's question comes from Jayne: "I've made a lot of money in stocks over the last several years, and now I'm afraid of losing it if the market drops. Are you selling?" I've been investing in stocks for about 40 years, including 10 years as a Wall Street investment adviser. I'm not a market timer, and I plan on owning stocks as long as I draw breath. That being said, I've recently started taking some money off the table. Here are five reasons why: It's not the usual blah, blah, blah. Click here to sign up for our free newsletter. 1. Trees don't grow to the sky In 2009, when the Dow was about 7,000, I bought a basket of stocks. Not because I'm a genius, but because having lived through several recessions, I've learned the time to buy is when everyone is freaking out. And they were definitely freaking out in March of 2009. I simply figured that sometime between those dismal days and the time I retired, the market would make a comeback. And I was right. As I speak, the Dow is at 27,000: nearly four times higher than it was back in 2009. I haven't quadrupled the money I put into stocks back then, but I have done well. Stocks today are no longer cheap. The average stock price/earnings ratio over the last hundred years is about 15, meaning stocks are typically priced at about 15 times their earnings per share. That ratio is now 22 . It's been worse, but however you slice it, stocks today are more overpriced than underpriced. In addition, we're now in the longest economic expansion the nation has ever seen. While it's certainly possible for the party to continue, we're definitely closer to the end than the beginning. Bloomberg recently reported , "The S&P 500 Index is now trading near its fair value, with limited further upside," citing Goldman Sachs. Morgan Stanley agrees. Barron's reports : "Morgan Stanley strategist Andrew Sheets doesn't see much upside in stocks these days, resulting in his decision to cut the firm's allocation on global equities to underweight from equal-weight." Seems reasonable to me. 2. I'm overweight I actually could stand to lose a few pounds, but what I'm referring to is the weighting of stocks in my overall investment mix. Because stocks have grown in value so much over the past decade, I now have a big percentage of my long-term savings there. My mix is out of whack. This is a time when everyone should look at their investments and at least consider rebalancing so you don't have too much in stocks. Don't wait until the market does it for you. 3. I'm not getting any younger I preach a simple rule of thumb for determining the percentage of long-term savings that belong in stocks: Subtract your age from 100. If you're 40, you should have about 60% in stocks. If you're 63, like I am, you'd have 37% in stocks. To be honest, I'm not going to reduce my stock percentage to the level my age would suggest. After all, it's just a rule of thumb. But as you get older and your opportunity to make back what you lose diminishes, the temptation to take some chips off the table grows. As I said in an article last year : "If I was 25 years old, I wouldn't do a thing, even if I was sure there was a recession on the horizon. Our economy always goes up and down, and the market along with it. I learned long ago not to try to time it. The thing is, however, I'm closer to 65 than 25, so I'm getting more concerned with the return of my money than on my money." In short, I've made a lot over the last 10 years, and I don't want to give it all back during the next recession. That's why I'm taking some chips off the table. If the market keeps going up, that's cool. I've still got significant skin in the game. 4. Voodoo economics I'm no professor, but I know "voodoo" economics when I see it. Case in point? With the economy at nearly full employment and the stock market at record highs, the Federal Reserve has begun to lower interest rates. Historically, the Fed uses rate cuts to stimulate a weak economy, not goose a healthy one. When the good times roll, the Fed traditionally "normalizes" rates, meaning it raises them, both to keep the economy from overheating and so they'll have ammunition to stimulate the economy by lowering rates when times get tough. At least, that's the way it used to be. These days we have a president who's taking credit for "the fact that our economy is the best it has ever been" while also berating the Fed for not lowering interest rates. In my experience, these things don't go together. If the economy is good, the Fed, which is supposed to be independent of the White House, shouldn't be lowering rates. And yet that seems to be the case. From Marketwatch : "It's a rookie mistake by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who's been bullied by President [Donald] Trump and financial markets into pumping more liquidity into an economy that already has plenty. And don't think for a second that Powell's tormentors will be satisfied with just one quarter-point cut." Bottom line? If the Fed is lowering rates because they see a potential recession ahead, that's a bad sign. If they're lowering them when they shouldn't because of Trump's bullying, that's also a bad sign, at least in the long run. 5. Trade wars aren't good or easy to win In March of 2018, the president famously tweeted , "Trade wars are good, and easy to win." False. By just about anyone's estimation, trade wars have a negative effect on the global economy . Trump has also suggested multiple times that China is paying the tariffs he imposed on $250 billion of Chinese imports, while America reaps the benefits. Also false. A tariff is a tax. Think of it as you would a sales tax, except it's up to 25%. When an American company buys Chinese products affected by the tariff, they're paying that tax, which obviously increases their cost. They then have two choices: Eat the additional cost and make less money, or pass the cost along to their customers, and as a result, sell fewer units. Neither is good for stocks. Reuters reported in June: "A wide range of companies this week have told government officials at hearings in Washington that they have few alternatives other than China for producing clothing, electronics and other consumer goods. They have said alternatives would cost more, and that the next round of tariffs could wipe out profits and cost jobs." Of course, the trade war could end tomorrow with the stroke of a pen, which would certainly send stocks higher. While that's a possibility, however, imagine for a moment you're China. You know your antagonist is up for election next year. Would you roll over now, or wait to see if he gets replaced? The bottom line Timing the market is a fool's game and not something I'd ever advise. That being said, however, now and then circumstances dictate taking decisive action. One of those times for me was March 2009, when I jumped into the market with both feet. Another is now, when I'm taking one foot out. Hope that answers your question, Jayne!

Mastercard will allow transgender people to use their chosen names on credit and debit cards in an effort to combat discrimination at the cash register. That means that the name on the credit card owned by a transgender person could be different than that found on their birth certificate or driver's license. It is up to the banks that issue the cards to actually implement the change and on Monday, Mastercard called on those banks to do so. Three states   Tennessee, Kansas and Ohio   legally bar a transgender person from changing the sex listed on their birth certificate, according to Out Leadership, a LGBT rights organization that focuses on advocacy at the corporate level. This can create confusion when a person uses one name to reflect their identity, but may have a different name legally. A 2015 study showed that 32% of transgender people who had to show an ID with a name or gender that did not match their presentation experienced harassment, were denied services or were attacked. "When we were alerted to this, we realized we could do something about it," said Raj Seshadri, president of U.S. issuers for Mastercard. A transgender person will no longer have to wait to get a legal name change, make changes to their birth certificate or other legal maneuvers, Seshadri said. The change of name on a card will not create any security issues, she said, since Mastercard uses other security metrics to determine whether a purchase is legitimate or not.


Surely when Tiger Woods decided to take off a full 32 days in preparation for the PGA Championship, he thought he'd be saving energy for the four-day major tournament. But after a 3-over-par 73 on Friday in Round 2 of the PGA Championship, Woods' first event back since winning his fifth Masters was just a two-day affair as he missed the cut by a stroke. While putting let Woods down on Thursday, struggles off the tee were the theme Friday for the 15-time major champion. On 14 holes with a par of greater than 3, Woods found the fairway just three times. He missed the first six fairways of the round. MORE: Watch the PGA Championship live with fuboTV (7-day free trial) Woods' final shot to make a birdie and the cut on 18 didn't really have much of chance as he had to chip it in from just off the green, over 40 feet away. Woods played about average through the front nine (he was even at the turn), but four bogeys on the first five holes of the back nine proved too much to overcome. The missed cut is Tiger's first in a major since the 2018 U.S. Open. Brooks Koepka   one of Woods' playing partners with Francesco Molinari   continued his dominance at Bethpage Black, although he did record his first bogey in 41 holes. That was the lone blemish for Koepka as he finished the day at minus-12. Sporting News tracked live hole-by-hole updates from Woods' second round Friday at the PGA Championship.

Needed to make a 40-foot chip for birdie but hit it a little too aggressively. Made par, but a disappointing finish nonetheless. Hole 17: Par 3, 207 yards Needed a 39-foot putt for birdie that rolled past by four feet. Woods made the less-than-easy putt to save par. It's all going to come down to one hole. Hole 16: Par 4, 490 yards Still yet to find the fairway on back-to-back holes. His birdie attempt curled just around the high side of the hole for a tap-in par. Woods is likely in need of a birdie on 17 or 18 if he wants to play this weekend. Hole 15: Par 4, 484 yards A rarity as Tiger found the fairway off the tee on a clean lie about 180 yards from the hole. Left a 30-foot putt woefully short, but saved par on the next shot. He's one over the cut line with three holes to play. Hole 14: Par 3, 161 yards Lands on the green off the tee but sent his first putt sailing past the hole. Another three-putt makes his fourth bogey over the last five holes. Hole 13: Par 5, 608 yards Found a fairway bunker off the tee, but a good approach shot left him eight feet from the hole that he eventually sank for a birdie. Hole 12: Par 4, 515 yards A third straight bogey for Woods moves him to very dangerous territory. Three-putted after landing on the green about 50 feet from the hole. Hole 11: Par 4, 435 yards Missed the fairway again and approach shot sails over the green. Left a 12-foot putt for par about six inches short. It's another bogey, and it sends Woods over the cut line. Hole 10: Par 4, 502 yards Putter leaves him hanging again. Misses from 11 feet out to end up three-putting the hole. Another bogey to start the back nine. On the brighter side for Woods, Koepka recorded his first bogey in 41 holes. Hole 9: Par 4, 460 yards Solid hole all around for Woods. Finally finds the fairway after starting 0 for 6 and then drains a 39-foot putt for his second birdie of the round. At the turn, he is even for the day and one stroke under the projected cut line (+3). Koepka is yet to bogey at this tournament and sits in first at 10 under. pic.twitter.com/739KDn0Q6r   PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 17, 2019 Hole 8: Par 3, 210 yards Tee shot lands 20 feet from the cup. Two-putts to save par. Hole 7: Par 4, 524 yards Woods continues his relationship with the rough off the tee. Missed a 6-foot putt for par. Second bogey of the day. Hole 6: Par 4, 408 yards Still yet to find a fairway off the tee but landed a great approach shot about 16 feet from the hole that he makes for his first birdie of Round 2. The crowd's been waiting for this. #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/dxIWsPme4N   PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) May 17, 2019 Hole 5: Par 4, 478 yards Five tee shots, zero fairways. Sinks a 10-foot putt for par. Koepka has birdied three of his first five holes and is now playing 13 strokes better than Woods. Hole 4: Par 5, 517 yards In the rough again off the drive, the third time through his first four holes today. Recovered from a bad third shot with his wedge to eventually par the hole, but missed opportunity on one of the course's two par-5s. Eagled the hole Thursday. Hole 3: Par 3, 230 yards Finally a great drive, but he rimmed a 4-foot putt for birdie. Still manages to save par, but that would have been big. A fraction too hard from Tiger... Woods is agonisingly close to a birdie on three but avoids a second successive dropped shot.

Has a chance to save par with a 20-foot putt but comes up about 10 inches short. It's his first bogey of the day. Hole 1: Par 4, 430 yards Not an ideal start   again. Tee shot goes left into the crowd, followed by his approach landing in a bunker. Still manages to save par.


Major League Baseball continues its quest to implement an international draft, per recent reports from Jeff Passan of ESPN and Ben Badler of Baseball America . MLB has discussed the possibility of introducing a draft by 2020 or 2021, according to Badler, having held talks with members of its Trainer Partnership Program   a group of Latin American trainers known as "buscones." To this point, the MLB hasn't engaged in talks with the MLBPA on the subject of an international draft. It's one of several important issues the two sides will have to iron out before the current collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1, 2021. Thus far in MLB's preliminary discussions on the matter, it has considered a 15-round, 450-selection draft with a hard-slotted system, per Badler, who adds teams would be able trade picks. It appears players who go undrafted would be able to sign for up to $50K, though Badler notes that number could change. Players still wouldn't be able to sign until the age of 16, but clubs have been known to exploit that   which has been a key part of talks with the trainers. No fewer than four Latin players from the 2021-22 international signing period agreed to deals with teams when they were just 13, Passan reports. Furthermore, some international players drop out of school when they're as young as 10 to focus on baseball, and Passan writes that performance-enhancing drug use among these children has been incentivized as they attempt to garner interest from MLB clubs. As a result, there are some influential trainers on board with a draft, Passan relays. But others are less enthusiastic about the idea because the financial cap on draft picks would further limit the players' earnings (and the trainers). Under the current system , an international signing period that begins July 2 and runs into the following June, most teams have somewhere between $4.3M and just under $6.5M to sign players. The lone exception is the Braves, who are currently barred from spending thanks to violations from their previous front office. In 2017, MLB issued a permanent ban to general manager John Coppolella and stripped the Braves of 13 international prospects for amateur signing infractions. However, it's clear there are still seedy elements at play under the present international setup, and it appears that is on MLB's radar. Considering the frayed relationship between the owners and players, this will be a situation worth watching over the next couple years as the two sides try to avoid a work stoppage. Notably, some Latin players   including Nelson Cruz and Edwin Encarnacion   have spoken out against an international draft, which Adrian Burgos of La Vida Baseball covered in 2017.
