Neymar, the soccer star who is one of the world's best-paid and well-known athletes, has been accused of rape by a woman in São Paulo, Brazil. The woman filed a complaint with the Brazilian police over the incident, which she said happened in a Paris hotel room. The details of the accusation are contained in a police report seen by The New York Times and first reported by news media outlets in Neymar's native Brazil. A few hours after details of the case against him were made public, Neymar posted a video on his Instagram and Facebook pages in which he denied he'd done anything improper and accused the woman of trying to extort him. He also posted a series of messages   which included a number of intimate photos of the woman   that he had exchanged with the accuser. The last messages were sent a day after the alleged assault. And the alleged victim's name is briefly visible in Neymar's feed. "There was a relationship between a man and a woman between four walls," Neymar says in the video. "On the next day, nothing happened. I hope investigators read the messages and see what happened." In comments to the Brazilian television channel Band, Neymar's father, Neymar Santos Sr., also strongly denied the rape allegation, contending that his son had engaged in consensual sex with the woman. "This is a tough moment," Neymar Santos said. "If we can't show the truth quickly it will be a snowball. If we have to show Neymar's WhatsApp messages and the conversations with this lady, we will." A spokesman for Neymar's French club side, Paris St.-Germain, said the team was not aware of the allegations. The accusation comes as Neymar prepares to lead Brazil's national team at the Copa América, South America's most important national team tournament, later this month. Neymar was replaced as Brazil's captain in recent days after a difficult club season in which he was banned and fined for an altercation with a rival fan. According to the police report, the woman said Neymar paid for her to fly from Brazil to Paris, then attacked her in a hotel in Paris on the evening of May 15. The police report states that the woman, who was not identified by name, said she exchanged messages with Neymar on the social media platform Instagram before accepting an invitation to travel to Paris, where she met with him in a suite at Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe in May. According to the report, the two spoke and "exchanged caresses" before, the woman said, Neymar "turned aggressive" and forced her to have sex against her will. The woman stayed in Paris before returning to Brazil two days later. She filed the complaint in São Paulo, where she lives, according to the police report. She did not register the accusation in France, the woman said, because she was too emotionally shaken to do so in a foreign country. São Paulo's civil police confirmed in a statement that a case had been filed but did not elaborate. A spokesman for the Paris prosecutor's office said that he was not aware of any complaint or investigation in that city. The case will be followed intensely in Brazil, where Neymar burst to nationwide acclaim as a teenager with the club Santos, the club where the Brazilian legend Pelé made his name. Neymar's stunning early performances as a teenager turned him into an instant millionaire, with sponsors clambering to sign him to their brands. He was the figurehead of Brazil's World Cup team in 2014, the year before he joined Spanish club Barcelona. Neymar played four seasons in Spain before his blockbuster sale to P.S.G. for a world-record fee of almost $250 million. The French team, backed by the seemingly bottomless funds of its Gulf owners, paid a transfer fee that was more than double the previous record. Recent media reports have linked Neymar with a return to Spain, however, either with his former team Barcelona or its bitter (and similarly deep-pocketed) league rival Real Madrid. The first news reports of the rape accusations against Neymar emerged on Saturday in the middle of the Champions League final, the biggest club game in global soccer. For all his success, Neymar has also proved to be a lightning rod. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia last summer, he was ridiculed widely for regularly flopping and rolling on the turf after seemingly innocuous contact from his opponents. Neymar also has expressed frustration at persistent criticism of his party-loving lifestyle and general behavior. Earlier this year, he was photographed at Rio's Carnival while on crutches as he recovered from an injury that had kept him out of crucial games, including P.S.G.'s Champions League elimination by Manchester United. Neymar responded to that defeat by insulting match officials on social media. That led to a three-game suspension by European soccer's governing body, UEFA, that he will serve at the start of next season's Champions League. Neymar is not the only major soccer player facing a rape inquiry. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has for much of the past decade vied with Lionel Messi to be acclaimed as the sport's best player, is being investigated by authorities in Las Vegas. Last year, the police reopened an investigation into an American woman's 2009 rape accusation against Ronaldo after the German news weekly Der Spiegel published details of the case obtained through a leak of emails belonging to Ronaldo's attorneys. Ronaldo has denied the accusation. Ernesto Londoño contributed reporting from Rio de Janeiro; Aurelien Breeden contributed reporting from Paris.


The Los Angeles Clippers are expected to be big-time players in free agency this coming summer. Among those the team would like to sign, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard sit atop the food chain. Interestingly enough, it appears that the Clippers are not interested in Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard and impending free agent Jimmy Butler. When @ColinCowherd asked me this morning on @TheHerd what star player the Lakers could realistically sign, I didn't waste any time saying Jimmy Butler. He likes L.A, LeBron James has been in touch with him and he would join the Lakers in a second if they offered him a max deal. pic.twitter.com/wXStzcAFzh   Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) May 24, 2019 Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times goes on to note that Butler would sign a max deal with the Los Angeles Lakers if they were to offer it to him. That's also a rather interesting development in that LeBron James is concerned that drama in Southern California might impact the Lakers' chances in free agency . As it relates to the Clippers, they are looking to add someone of a higher quality than Butler. That name is obvious: Kevin Durant.


The number of crime reports in Denver saw an overall increase last month for the fourth month in a row, according to data from CrimeoMeter , which collects data from police agencies and validated sources. The number of reported incidents rose by about 3%, up from 7,405 in May to 7,629 in June. Despite last month's increase, crime reports remain at about the same level as a year ago. Crime trends often contain recurring patterns, based on seasons and other local events, making it useful to look at the year-over-year comparison as well. Theft and auto theft reports increased the most from the previous month. Theft rose from 873 reported incidents in May to 964 in June, and has risen by 164 incidents since June of last year. Auto theft incidents rose from 452 to 538 for the month, which is about a 19% increase. Auto theft reports are up even more from a year ago. While somewhat smaller categories, there was also a notable percentage increase last month in weapons offenses, up from 127 incidents per month to 165, and in vandalism incidents, up from 425 to 493. Both weapons offenses and vandalism incidents have increased since the same month last year. There were 18 prostitution reports last month. Prostitution has gone up by about 260% since June of last year. Among the few types of reported offenses that saw a downturn last month, drug-related offenses dropped from 340 to 332. The number of reported harassment incidents fell from 282 to 275, and reported arson incidents went down from nine to seven. Drug-related offenses and harassment incidents have been on an overall downward trend since this time last year. Considering the concentration of crime across the city, Speer, the Denver International Airport area and Montbello saw the largest increase from May to June. Villa Park, Washington Park West and City Park West also had considerable percentage increases in reported crime offenses for the month, although they continue to have lower overall crime levels. Over the past year, crime has gone up the most in Kennedy, and declined the most in Capitol Hill. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays saw the most reported crime incidents last month. The largest increases from the previous month occurred on Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays, while incidents on Fridays, Thursdays and Wednesdays went down. Comparing times of day, early afternoon, late afternoon and late morning continue to see the most reports of crime incidents on average each day.

DNA analysis has confirmed that remains found at a trash incinerator belong to a missing 2-year-old boy, Virginia police said. Noah Tomlin was reported missing in Hampton last month by his mother. Julia Tomlin, 34, was arrested on c hild neglect charges as cops searched for Noah and expressed fears he was dead. VIRGINIA POLICE SAY MISSING BOY, 2, IS DEAD; MOM UNDER ARREST IN DISAPPEARANCE The DNA testing established that the boy's remains were found July 3 at the Hampton NASA Steam Plant, Hampton Police spokesman Reggis Williams said Saturday. "The Hampton Police Division will continue to collaborate with the Hampton Commonwealth Attorney's Office to ensure this case transitions to the prosecution phase successfully," he said. Cops said Tomlin told them that the last time she saw Noah was when she put him to bed on June 24 at 1 a.m. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Tomlin was jailed for five months in 2010 after pleading guilty to charges accusing her of severely burning her baby daughter on a hot kitchen stove.


One of the best punt returners in NCAA history will get another chance to replicate his college success in the NFL. Amid speculation wide receiver Dante Pettis would eschew return duties because of what's expected to be a more prominent offensive role, 49ers special teams coordinator Richard Hightower said Pettis is competing for the job. "We're going to play the best guy back there," Hightower said Tuesday. "That's been coach (Kyle) Shanahan's philosophy and that's our philosophy." Said Pettis: "I don't they're worried about if I'm starting or not (whether to) put me back there. I think it's just that they're going to put the best guy back there. Obviously, that was (wide receiver) Trent (Taylor) last year." In 2018, Pettis, a second-round pick, showed promise at wideout during an injury plagued rookie season, but disappointed as a returner: He averaged 3.0 yards on nine returns and was beaten out by Taylor (7.8 yards, 10 returns) and wideout Richie James (6.3 yards, 12 returns). The 49ers finished 29th in the NFL in punt-return average (5.8). Part of Pettis' appeal in the 2018 draft was his elite special-teams ability. At Washington, he set an NCAA record with nine career punt-return touchdowns and finished first in Pac-12 history in career average (14.2). His 20.7 yards-per-return average as a senior led the NCAA. Taylor is remarkably sure-handed as a returner, but hasn't flashed Pettis' big-play ability in college or the NFL. He averaged 8.3 yards on 58 returns at Louisiana Tech and has averaged 9.0 yards on 40 runbacks with the 49ers, without a return longer than 15 yards. Still, he was more effective than Pettis last year and and they will be competing for the spot along with James and defensive back D.J. Reed. It's worth noting Pettis was hurt on a punt return last year. He missed three games after he sustained a knee injury on a runback in Week 4 against the Chargers. However, Pettis would hardly be unique if he handled return duties while serving as a starting wideout. In fact, new wide receiver coach Wes Welker averaged 9.8 yards on 264 returns during a 13-year career that included five Pro Bowls. Welker is also assisting with the punt returners this season. Said Hightower: "I told the returners, if they don't use that nugget, then I don't know what they're doing." Twitter: @Eric_Branch


Former Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff is quite skeptical of new Jets head coach Adam Gase. Gase essentially won a power struggle between him and former general manager Mike Maccagnan, with the latter being fired last week. With Maccagnan's departure, Gase was given the title of interim GM and will assit the search for a full-time replacement, who will most likely have previous ties to the head coach. Clearly, the Jets - namely CEO Christopher Johnson - are trusting Gase with a lot. However, Westhoff doesn't understand what Gase has done in the NFL for New York to put so much stock in him. "I'm really curious as to what he's earned," Westhoff told NJ.com . "Look at his record in Miami." Gase went 23-25 in Miami and made the playoffs only once in three seasons, failing to win a postseason game. Meanwhile, he had difficulty getting along with some of his players and dealt them if there was an issue. Gase also rubbed some people in the Dolphins organization the wrong way, which is part of the reason he was fired. As for the Jets, they actually looked like the most competent team in New York for a while before the drama with Gase and Maccafnan. They had a strong offseason and are ready to take the next step after a few years of rebuilding. But of course the Jets found a way to put themselves back in the spotlight, firing their GM after a massive spending spree and the draft. "It's almost like the Giants were wearing the dunce hat in the city," Westhoff said, "and all of a sudden, the Jets came along and took it."

If you were hoping for the Los Angeles Lakers to have a chance at trading for Anthony Davis this summer, then you're probably hoping that anybody but the New York Knicks get the No. 1 pick in tonight's 2019 NBA Draft Lottery. The Knicks were reportedly sniffing around Davis before the trade deadline, but they ultimately decided against it by trading Kristaps Porzingis and pieces to the Dallas Mavericks. In addition to hoping for Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, the Knicks are hoping to get the No. 1 pick as they are tied for the best odds to snag it. If they do, they will turn their attention back again to Davis, according to Shams Charania of Stadium/The Athletic. Our NBA Insider @ShamsCharania with the latest on the Knicks plan if they get the top-pick in tonight's #NBADraftLottery . pic.twitter.com/pcPOQ0CjXM - Stadium (@Stadium) May 14, 2019 It appears that the Knicks are not simply content with getting the top pick and hoping to add top free agents. It looks like they want to go from bottom-feeder immediately to Superteam. So while the odds of the Lakers getting the top pick themselves are impossibly slim, the Lakers may find greater joy hoping the top pick doesn't land in New York.

SEATTLE (AP) Carlos Gil converted a penalty in the 87th minute to give the New England Revolution a 3-3 tie with the Seattle Sounders on Saturday. The penalty kick was awarded when Seattle's Jordy Delem was called for a hand ball on Gil's attempted cross in the penalty area. Gil has nine goals this season. Michael Mancienne scored in the 27th minute and Gustavo Bou in the 35th to give the Revolution (9-9-7) a 2-1 lead. Marcienne's goal was his first, and Bou's was his third in just five MLS games since joining New England in July. Harry Shipp and Nico Lodeiro scored 1:03 apart midway through the second half to put Seattle (11-7-6) in front 3-2. Shipp's goal was his second of the game and his fifth of the season. He put the Sounders ahead 1-0 just 1:42 into the game. Lodeiro's was his fifth. New England got back on track after its club record-tying 11-game unbeaten streak (7-0-4) ended at home last Saturday with a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles FC. The tie helped Seattle avoid what would have been a club-record third straight home defeat.


Wolves are closing in on an €18m (£16m) deal for AC Milan's Patrick Cutrone after the two clubs agreed an €18m deal plus add-ons. The Italian youngster had looked set to stay with AC Milan, however, after being told that his opportunities would be limited next season, the striker now looks set to make the move abroad. Reports claim that the 21-year-old striker has left the Rossoneri's pre-season tour of the United States to return home to Italy in order to finalise a move to the Molineux. The Mirror reports that Cutrone returned to Milan in order to finalise the details for a move that could see the fee eventually rise to £20m. The deal had previously looked set to collapse after Cutrone claimed that he wanted to stay with Milan. However, after crunch talks with boss Marco Giampaolo, it became apparent that the Italian international would continue to play second fiddle to Krzysztof Piatek. Italian reporter, Fabrizio Romano, claims that the two clubs have reached an agreement and that a medical will be scheduled shortly. Patrick Cutrone to Wolverhampton, confirmed! Paperworks time with AC Milan and medicals soon for €18M + add ons (around €4M). Total agreement reached.  #Wolves #transfers #Milan   Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 28, 2019 Wolves manager, Nuno Espirito Santo has been desperate to bolster his attacking options this summer following the departures of both Helder Costa and Ivan Cavaleiro. Star man Raul Jimenez only returned to pre-season last week, forcing Nuno to utilise midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White in an advanced role in the recent Premier League Asia triumph and their opening Europa League match. Wolves' capture of Cutrone would make him their second signing of the window, following the arrival of Jesus Vallejo on loan from Real Madrid on Saturday. With the transfer window closing in just under two weeks, Wolves will be hoping to get this deal finalised as soon as possible so that they are ready to go into the new Premier League season firing. Since his debut, Cutrone has scored 27 goals in 90 appearances in all competitions for the San Siro outfit and made his senior Italy debut in 2018.

The leader of an armed militia that scours the southern border for undocumented migrants was arrested by the FBI on Saturday. A video of the group holding migrants against their will had sparked outrage and rebukes by civil rights groups and New Mexico officials. Larry Mitchell Hopkins, 69, also known as Johnny Horton Jr., was arrested in Sunland Park, N.M., on charges of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, the FBI Albuquerque office said. He is expected to appear in U.S. District Court on Monday. Hopkins leads the United Constitutional Patriots, or UCP, whose objective is to "uphold the Constitution of The United States of America" and to protect citizens' rights "against all enemies both foreign and domestic," according to its Facebook page. The UCP is one of several militias that have taken to patrolling the border, prompted by the recent surge in Central American migrants and emboldened by President Trump's assertion that they constitute an "invasion." Subscribe to the Post Most newsletter: Today's most popular stories on The Washington Post In an April 16 video, posted by a woman who goes by Debbie Collins Farnsworth on Facebook, a large group of migrants, including several children, can be seen sitting on the ground and huddled together in the darkness, some of their faces illuminated by flashlights. "This is crazy, everybody, totally crazy," a female voice that appears to be Farnsworth narrates as she walks the perimeter of the group, claiming there are "hundreds" of people there. "I don't know what to say about this, other than the fact it's got to stop," she says. A few minutes into the 45-minute live video, Border Patrol officers arrive and order the migrants to sit down before telling them to begin walking. The migrants are shepherded through the night by Border Patrol officials while Farnsworth follows. At one point, watching adults walk past holding the hands of children, she remarks, "see the way they hold their kids? I don't think those are their kids, honestly. They've got grips on their wrists, it's crazy." Farnsworth's video had garnered over 100,000 views and 2,700 shares by Sunday afternoon. The militia maintains that its actions are legal, though Sunland Park Police Chief Javier Guerra told BuzzFeed News he had explicitly informed the group that they are not. On Thursday, the New Mexico chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the state's governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), and attorney general, Hector Balderas (D), demanding they investigate the UCP and the actions portrayed in the April 16 video. "We cannot allow racist and armed vigilantes to kidnap and detain people seeking asylum," the letter said . "We urge you to immediately investigate this atrocious and unlawful conduct." "Law enforcement belongs strictly in the hands of trained professionals," Peter Simonson, director of the ACLU in New Mexico, told The Washington Post. He said his group alerted officials because of fears that the armed militia members would harm the migrants. On Friday, Grisham called the militia's actions "absolutely unacceptable." "This is a dangerous felon who should not have weapons around children and families," Balderas said in a statement after Hopkins's arrest. "Today's arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not vigilantes." One of the militia's members, Jim Benvie, responded to Hopkins's arrest in a Facebook Live video early Sunday. Benvie said the UCP was not breaking any laws and Hopkins would be exonerated. He speaks as the camera remains pointed forward and asserts that Hopkins was "set up" by Grisham and Balderas based on the ACLU's "false, baseless allegations against the group." "This was their first attack," Benvie said. "They want to create a narrative that there's a bunch of reckless criminals out on the border." The UCP did not respond to a Facebook message from The Post requesting comment and did not respond to a phone inquiry. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman distanced the agency from the militias in a statement to The Post, saying the agency "does not endorse private groups or organizations taking enforcement matters into their own hands" and warning that "interference by civilians in law enforcement matters could have public safety and legal consequences for all parties involved." However, some of the UCP's videos show Border Patrol agents arriving to take away migrants who have been stopped by militia members. One of its members, Mark Cheney, told BuzzFeed News that Border Patrol officers are "happy we're here. … We have a direct line to the local outpost."

Since 1999, the Teen Choice Awards has been a celebration of youth culture and the artists   musicians and actors   who have helped shaped it. In celebration of the upcoming 2019 awards, which will take place on August 11, let's take a look back at some of the best moments in the history of the event. The highest of honors   a surfboard Since 1999, the Teen Choice Awards has been a celebration of youth culture and the artists   musicians and actors   who have helped shaped it. In celebration of the upcoming 2019 awards, which will take place on August 11, let's take a look back at some of the best moments in the history of the event. Snapchat takes center stage in 2017 You're going to need to check out on the video on this one , because Snapchat filters, well, they belong to Snapchat and not press photographers. At the 2017 Teen Choice Awards, Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin busted moves along with the Snapchat "Dancing Hot Dog" in a first for augmented reality, award shows and hot dogs. Leah Michele remembers Cory Monteith The 2013 awards were among the most emotional in Teen Choice history almost entirely because of Lea Michele's touching tribute to Cory Monteith, her "Glee" co-star and boyfriend. Monteith had died a month before the awards due to a drug overdose. "Fast & Furious" crew pay tribute to Paul Walker Part of the "Fast & Furious" franchise cast took the stage at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards because "Furious 7" won the Choice Action Award Movie. Vin Diesel used his acceptance speech to thank and remember his friend "Pablo," actor Paul Walker, who died in a fatal car crash in 2013. Britney Spears, Queen of the Teens Britney Spears was the first-ever performer in Teen Choice Awards history (1999). Ten years later, Miley Cyrus took the stage to present Britney with the Ultimate Choice Award, the highest honor of the event. Zendaya's tells crowd to be themselves The incredibly talented Zendaya was the winner of the 2014 Candie's Choice Style Icon surfboard, and she used her platform to spread a message of self-acceptance and positivity, telling the young audience to lean into who they are because they'll only be that age once. Powerful stuff. She'd repeat this same message when she won in 2017 telling fans, "you have a voice and it's OK to use it" and encouraged fans to speak out against hate. Ashton Kutcher gives great life advice Ashton Kutcher was picked by fans as the winner of the 2013 Ultimate Choice Award. In his speech, the multi-hyphenated Kutcher, took the opportunity to tell the audience to always find their opportunities, that being smart is sexy and to make a life for themselves that they would be proud of. Truly inspiring stuff. The "Twilight" crew literally gives back In 2012, the "Twilight" series won that night's Ultimate Choice Award, which, as the name implies, is one of the most important moments of recognition at the event. To celebrate, Kirsten Stewart gave back to the audience, literally. After their speech, and following the suit of costar Robert Pattinson, who had done the same thing earlier, Stewart handed her surfboard to an audience member. One Direction's final appearance No one has more surfboards than One Direction. The British boy band has won a whopping 28 times at the Teen Choice Awards. Their most memorable year was 2013, when they not only won 10 times, but also performed for the last time at the TCAs before breaking up three years later. Taylor Swift is the Ultimate Choice The thing you have to understand about the Ultimate Choice Award is that it's special. It's reserved for only those individuals or groups who have really done the most in their careers. Taylor Swift was absolutely deserving of that special surfboard when she got it in 2011. What's wild to think about it is that even though she was a huge star then, Swift hadn't even reached the peak of her career. Demi Lovato opens up about mental health Demi Lovato has won 14 Teen Choice Awards throughout her career. Perhaps the most impactful was the 2011 Acuvue Inspire Award , which she in recognition of her speaking out about the importance of mental health. Sadly, the battles with depression and addiction continue for Lovato, as she recently spent time in rehab for an overdose. But she's a fighter, telling fans, "I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I've learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet" via Instagram , ending with, "I will keep fighting." Justin Timberlake receives the Decade Award Justin Timberlake has been entertaining teen audiences since the mid-1990s, when he was member of ultra popular boy band 'N Sync. In 2016, Timberlake was honored with the Decade Award, a recognition of JT's lasting star power. And who presented him with that special surfboard? None other than NBA legend Kobe Bryant. Game recognize game. Happy Birthday, Selena Gomez When Selena Gomez went onstage to accept the Choice Music Group Award in 2012 (she won as part of Selena Gomez & The Scene), she got more than a surfboard. She also got a birthday cake. That year's edition of the TCAs coincided with the pop singer's 20th birthday. Harry Potter's last hurrah The "Harry Potter" film franchise has been a staple for an entire generation of teenagers since the first movie ("Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone") came out in 2004. That's why the 2011 Teen Choice Awards were a bittersweet affair. "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part 2," the final installment in the saga, took home the Choice Summer Movie Award that year, and the cast took it as an opportunity to thank their fans. Daniel Radcliffe couldn't attend, so he accepted the award via satellite. Nick Jonas inspires The youngest of the Jonas Brothers, Nick, was the 2013 recipient of the Acuvue Inspire Award, given out to a celebrity who has used their platform to raise awareness for a given cause. Jonas has used his fame to shed a light on the struggles of living with Type 1 diabetes. Gwen Stefani, Visionary In the history of the Teen Choice Awards, the Visionary Award has been given out twice. Gwen Stefani earned the first recognition in 2005, one year out after releasing "Love. Angel. Music. Baby.," her first solo album since No Doubt broke up. Mike Myers rules the world When Mike Myers received the Ultimate Choice Award in 2004, he was at the height of his career. At that point, the comedic genius and "Saturday Night Live" alum had just wrapped up the last of the Austin Powers movies and had already starred in two "Shrek" films   "Shrek," by the way, is the second-most successful animated film franchise ever. Sophia Grace & Rosie melt everyone's hearts In recent years, the Teen Choice Awards added the Best Web Star Award as recognition of the growing influence of social media stars. Our favorite recipients are certainly the cutest. In 2012, Sophia Grace & Rosie, the young duo who went viral after posting a cover of Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" to YouTube, were given mini surfboards by Ellen DeGeneres, who featured them on her talk show several times. Adorbs. Justin Bieber's first Teen Choice Awards This year, Justin Bieber is nominated twice, both for his collaboration with Ed Sheeran. He has 47 nominations all together, winning 23 of those. But nothing will compare to 2010, The Biebs's first Teen Choice Awards, which saw him win five out of the six awards he was up for   being such a rock star, he accepted via satellite. Shailene Woodley's message of female empowerment The 2014 Teen Choice Awards were big for Shailene Woodley, who won for both "The Fault In Our Stars" and "Divergent." It was during her acceptance speech for the latter   Choice Movie Actress: Action   that she dedicated her surfboard to strong women across the world. Ellen DeGeneres, The Teen's Choice Comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres gave a moving acceptance speech after winning "Choice Comedian" at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards. The star admitted to the audience that she wasn't popular as a teenager, but that her win was proof positive that things do get better as you get older. Miley Cyrus, Style Icon Miley Cyrus has won at the Teen Choice Awards for her music and for her wild-child sense of style. In 2013, "Wrecking Ball" took home the Candie's Choice Style Icon surfboard. Still, not everything is great with Miley and the TCAs these days... Miley Cyrus disappoints fans with a no-show in 2017 despite being the Ultimate Choice winner The 2017 show, according to some fans, was sort of a dud once it was announced by host Jake Paul that Miley Cyrus canceled last-minute despite being honored with the Ultimate Choice Award, one of the biggest honors of the Teen Choice Awards. Miley apologized to her fans via Instagram saying she'd had created an "unrealistic" schedule... and she had a new single dropping in a couple of days . Miley might not have been there, but hey, in what was probably some solid foreshadowing for his next year, viewers did get to see Jake Paul fall while dancing .


VISTA, Calif.   Former NFL star Kellen Winslow II is headed to a second rape trial here this fall after his first trial ended in a mistrial this week on eight of the 12 charges against him. San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan announced Friday that her office would retry Winslow on all eight of those pending charges, including felony rape counts involving two different women. The jury in the first trial did convict Winslow of three charges, including felony rape of a 58-year-old homeless woman on the side of the road in May 2018. Those convictions still stand and could send him to prison for up to nine years. But after the jury deadlocked on six felony and two misdemeanor charges , Stephan's office faced a choice   either try those eight charges again with a different jury or drop some or all of them. Jury selection for the new trial is set to begin Sept. 30, followed by opening statements Oct. 7. "We found the fact that Mr. Kellen Winslow has been convicted of forcible rape as well as misdemeanor offenses of a sexual nature involving two additional victims, that this boded rather well for a retrial," said Deputy District Attorney Dan Owens, who prosecuted Winslow in the first trial. Winslow, 35, will remain in jail here in the meantime. His attorney, Brian Watkins, asked Superior Court Judge Blaine Bowman on Friday to have him released on $1 million bail and confined to his house with GPS monitoring. But Bowman denied that request in court. "He's certainly a flight risk now because he stands convicted of a very serious charge and is looking at a mandatory prison sentence," Bowman said. "... The court does find he's a substantial danger to the community based on everything the court heard at trial and the fact he does stand convicted of forcible rape." Additional felony convictions could keep Winslow, who is married with children, behind bars for the rest of his life. Despite failing to reach a verdict on those eight charges, the first jury favored guilty verdicts against Winslow on all of them, sometimes by margins of 10-2. It just couldn't reach a unanimous decision on them for conviction or acquittal, as required by California law. "When we consider also that there were 10 members of the community who came together and found that he did in fact commit the crimes beyond a reasonable doubt in the other forcible sex offenses, that was a significant factor in our decision to seek a retrial," Owens said Friday. The retrial decision still comes with risk. It puts the alleged victims in the uncomfortable position of having to testify again in open court. Failing to win more convictions in a second trial could be viewed as a waste of time and money. Winslow's attorneys also have decried the pursuit of a combined trial on these charges as unfair to the due-process rights of Winslow, who has been jailed here since March after once living large with around $40 million in earnings from his NFL career from 2004 to 2013. He has pleaded not guilty. His other attorney, Marc Carlos, said Friday that the defense team will appeal the convictions and ask for a retrial based on errors in the first trial, especially related to evidence that was introduced from Winslow's account with Strava , a digital fitness application. The first trial had seven days of testimony and combined the cases of five alleged victims, three of whom accused Winslow of rape. The second trial involves four of those alleged victims, with the fifth possibly testifying as well: ►The government will retry the case of 55-year-old Jane Doe No. 1, who was hitchhiking in March 2018 when she said Winslow picked her up, took her to a parking lot behind a shopping center and raped her after forcing her into oral sex. The first jury found her case to be the weakest among the five alleged victims but still favored conviction against Winslow by a margin of 7-5 on three felony counts: kidnapping, forcible rape and forced oral copulation. DNA found in the crotch of her pants matched Winslow's. But her testimony allowed Winslow's attorneys to raise reasonable doubt about whether Winslow assaulted her or had consensual sex. Winslow's attorneys emphasized that she was caught lying on the witness stand about her sobriety in recent years and called her own daughter to the stand as a defense witness. During the trial, the daughter had started a GoFundMe page to raise $50,000 for her mother as a "mentally ill rape victim." ►Another alleged victim whose case will be retried is Jane Doe No. 4, who testified in the first trial that she became unconscious at a party in 2003 and then regained consciousness while Winslow was raping her. The first jury favored convicting him of forcible rape in this case by a 10-2 margin and favored guilt by an 8-4 margin on a separate charge of rape of an unconscious person. This woman gave emotional testimony about the alleged incident and lashed out with a profanity at Carlos when he suggested the sex began consensually. She said she didn't report the incident until last year because she didn't think anybody would believe her word against that of a famous football player whose father of the same name is a Pro Football Hall of Famer. His attorneys also emphasized that an officer initially wrote down a different account of what she alleged when she reported it last year by phone   an account that said the incident took place in a car. ►The district attorney also decided to retry a felony sodomy charge against Jane Doe No. 2. The first jury convicted Winslow of forcible rape in her case but deadlocked by a 10-2 count in favor of conviction on the sodomy charge. She is a homeless woman, now 59, who testified Winslow picked her up to go out for coffee but instead drove her to a dark roadside spot , where he raped and choked her on the passenger side of his vehicle. ►The other two alleged victims from the first trial involved misdemeanor charges. The first jury convicted him of misdemeanor indecent exposure for pulling his pants down and exposing himself in May 2018 to Jane Doe No. 3, a 59-year-old Vietnamese woman who lived down the same street in north San Diego County . Owens said she might testify as a witness in the second trial as part of the government's attempt to show that Winslow had a propensity to commit sexual offenses. The jury also convicted Winslow of lewd conduct involving Jane Doe No. 5, a 78-year-old woman who said Winslow positioned his clothed erect penis near her face at a local gym in February. But the jury acquitted Winslow of another lewd conduct charge of masturbating in a hot tub next to her that same month. Two other charges involving this woman hung the jury by a count of 10-2 in favor of conviction on each   elder abuse and elder battery. The latter charge stemmed from an allegation that Winslow grabbed the same woman's arm in the same hot tub. The district attorney decided to retry those two charges as well. Contributing: A.J.

OAKLAND, Fla.   Typical of their hot summer days free from school, 11-year-old Jeremiah Grimes and 10-year-old Isiah Francis were plopped on the couch watching YouTube and playing video games, but Tuesday they smelled something unusual. When they looked out the window, they saw smoke streaming from the home next door. As Jeremiah put on his shoes, Isiah ran next door, where he encountered the neighbor frantically searching for water to douse the flames. The man told him two young children were in the kitchen. Isiah went inside and, with Jeremiah's guidance, plucked the 1-year-old and 8-month-old from the burning home. "It was really smoky," Isiah said. "I could kind of see, but I had to use my sense of touch." Two other children in the home were rescued by firefighters who arrived moments later, after Jeremiah called 911. "They did something that a grown man would think twice about doing," said Jeremiah's mother, Stef Laboy. "They obviously didn't think twice about it. They were very heroic." Heroism had little to do with it   instinct kicked in, Jeremiah said. Both boys had been trained at school to call 911 in the event of a fire. "I was just doing it," Jeremiah said. "Basic instinct took over." Kat Kennedy, a spokeswoman for Orange County Fire Rescue, said Wednesday that "one or two young boys called 911 and went into the burning home and saved those two children." An official incident report hadn't yet been released. The boys' accounts veer slightly in their separate retellings. Isiah said Jeremiah was telling him which way to go from the door of the home since he could see better outside the intensity of the smoke. Isiah said he scooped up the toddler and infant, who were sitting on the floor, and he gave the infant to Jeremiah. They then ran to Isiah's house down the lane. Under Jeremiah's telling, Isiah went in first and he followed, but they both went into the kitchen to rescue the children, who were uninjured. The two children rescued at short time later by firefighters were in critical but stable condition at Arnold Palmer Hospital. The cause of the blaze hasn't been determined. Yellow police tape surrounded the burned-out home on Wednesday. "I just wanted to help those kids," Isiah said. ___ Follow Mike Schneider on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mikeschneiderap Courtesy of WESH


Civic Center , Mid-Market , Tenderloin The Exploratorium invites residents and visitors around the Civic Center library to pull up a chair and chat, with a new interactive exhibit set to open on August 13. Middle Ground : Reconsidering Ourselves and Others consists of 14 architectural-scale towers that aim to encourage visitors to interact with each other and consider their place in the community. Each of the towers features a different kind of chair or seat on top, along with a prompt for conversation about particular issues affecting the surrounding community. One exhibit, Unseen Stories, asks visitors to share an experience during which they've been stereotyped, and one in which they believe they may have stereotyped someone. Exploratorium social scientist Heike Winterheld said the experience can be applicable right away, and could change someone's thought process or raise awareness of a topic that could otherwise feel outside of a single person's control. Another tower will ask passers-by to estimate the difficulty of climbing the social ladder, economically and educationally, Winterheld said. The exhibit offers data to which visitors can compare their estimates. She said people often find they underestimate the difficulty of moving up in the world. The exhibit will also explain some of the hurdles people face and how inequality could be addressed at a micro level, she added. The exhibit's towers break down the space in front of the western doors of the main San Francisco Public Library to a human scale, Winterheld said. Sight lines are preserved, so visitors still feel safe, but the space is divided to keep them from feeling overwhelmed. Tables and chairs will be added near the exhibits to further encourage people to linger and engage. The new exhibition is part of a now seven-year partnership between the Exploratorium and SF Planning, and part of a long-term process to help activate and attract people to the Civic Center common areas , Exploratorium senior artist and outdoor gallery curator Shawn Lani said. "We are in the Civic Center because the City wanted us there," he added. The museum has worked with the Civic Center Commons collaborative to identify locations and partners over the years. The exhibit funded through an Advancing Informal STEM Learning grant from the National Science Foundation and Science Sandbox , an initiative of the Simons Foundation, museum public relations manager Avi Martin said. Work on Middle Ground started about 18 months ago, and the steps of the library were selected as a prime spot to make more welcoming and safer, Lani said. The goal is to get people to spend more time in the Civic Center rather than just passing through, and the library is a key spot that people already visit. Lani said the library staff has been fantastic to partner with. "It is an incredibly empathetic organization… the staff is able to help govern spaces in a very welcoming manner toward all people," he said. Many of the exhibits were developed through prototypes displayed in the main hall of the Central Library, Lani said. The museum wanted to identify topics that are relevant and applicable to both visitors to the city and people that frequent or even live in Civic Center common spaces. The museum partnered with the Community Housing Partnership to talk with Tenderloin residents about the potential displays, to identify issues that would draw them to interact with the exhibit and to make sure the topics were not triggering or off-putting, Lani said. "It has been an evolution for the museum to put exhibits out where people live… drawing inspiration from the current state of things," he added. Lani is particularly excited about the role of the Urban Alchemy stewards, who will provide oversight of the exhibit and serve as mediators between visitors interacting with the different displays. The stewards, who are already deployed throughout the Civic Center Commons and helped encourage interaction with previous Exploratorium exhibits in the area , are sensitive, smart, and treat everyone with respect, Lani said. "It has been and continues to be insightful for us at the museum to see how that type of engagement can help people slow down and engage with the exhibits," he added. Their oversight and guidance at the new exhibit will serve as a type of research project on how the stewards can enhance visitors' interaction with the exhibit, Lani said. A ribbon cutting for the new exhibit is planned for August 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the exhibit will stand for a full year.


COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)   Twenty Democratic presidential candidates attending a Planned Parenthood forum on Saturday vowed to defend abortion rights under nearly any circumstance while largely ignoring nuances around the issue that have already roiled their party heading into the 2020 election. The event sponsored by Planned Parenthood Action Fund   the group's political arm   was the first of the election season centered on abortion. It came on the sidelines of the South Carolina Democratic Party's state convention, a pivotal gathering of the party faithful in the South's first primary state. The candidates were united in decrying a series of tough, recent abortion restrictions approved by Republican-controlled legislatures around the country geared to ultimately provoke a Supreme Court case that could overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. Those efforts have come alongside attempts to strip taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood, which abortion rights advocates and some leading medical groups say would make it harder for low-income women to get access to basic health care, not only abortion. "We've been on defense for 47 years and it's not working," Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion. Warren, who turned 70 on Saturday, said trying to restrict abortion usually boils down to sexism. "You're not going to lock women back in the kitchen. You're not going to tell us what to do," she declared, eliciting a standing ovation from hundreds in the crowd, many sporting pink Planned Parenthood T-shirts. Most Democratic voters support abortion rights, though the issue doesn't always energize the party's base in South Carolina and other conservative states. Despite that, the Democrats vying for the chance to try and unseat President Donald Trump next year were unwavering in their support for the procedure and in their defense of Planned Parenthood   showing just how far the party has moved compared to presidential races in recent memory. "If President Trump wants a war on America's women, it's a war he's going to have and it's a war he's going to lose," declared New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. California Sen. Kamala Harris promised to create a federal system of "preclearance" mandating that states passing major abortion restrictions be subject to federal review, similar to how states with histories of racial discrimination long had their electoral rules scrutinized under the Voting Rights Act. Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said things have come a long way since even the 2016 Democratic primary, when activists had to fight to get moderators at general subject debates to ask about abortion and often faced responses like, "They're all pro-choice so why should we would waste time talking to that?'" Even as the party's top candidates more openly embrace abortion rights, tensions around them have nonetheless already shaken up the 2020 Democratic field. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who leads in early polls, long supported the "Hyde Amendment," a congressional ban on using taxpayer money to pay for most abortions. But Biden dramatically reversed himself earlier this month amid intense criticism from his fellow Democrats. Pressed by forum moderators about that change of heart and his overall "mixed record" on abortion rights, Biden responded, "I'm not sure about the mixed record part." Later, a tearful audience member declared that the Hyde Amendment did disproportional damage to low-income women who rely on government funding for many health care services, including abortion. Biden noted that he helped former President Barack Obama pass that administration's signature health care law which expanded women's health insurance coverage, including improved access to birth control. He also referred several times to written notes and seemed unnerved by the forum's 15-minute per candidate limit, joking, "What, do I have 10 seconds left or something?" The other candidates avoided mentioning Biden by name, and most didn't reference his Hyde Amendment flip-flop. An exception was New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who told the crowd, "Can we just be clear that, if you're a Democrat you're against the Hyde Amendment, period?" The forum comes before the field gathers in Miami next week for the first Democratic presidential debates. Gillibrand suggested that the success of male candidates could keep female and minority White House hopefuls from subsequent debates since they've struggled to meet minimum, required thresholds in fundraising and polling support to secure invites. "Pick your top five. Send them money. Make sure they make it to the debate stage," Gillibrand said of female and minority candidates. The forum drew some protesters who spent part of the morning outside it, waving black-and-white signs reading, "I am the Pro-life Generation" and "Defund Planned Parenthood." South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick called the Democratic candidates "a group of radicals." "In what is many of these Democrats first visit to South Carolina, it's amazing to see that their first stop is to go pay homage to the radical pro-abortion lobby at Planned Parenthood," McKissick said in a statement.


With the 2019 NBA Draft just three weeks away, the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to re-engage in trade talks with the New Orleans Pelicans for Anthony Davis soon. If that happens, Lonzo Ball's name will likely enter the rumor mill once again . Ball was offered in most - if not all - of the proposals the Lakers reportedly sent the Pelicans leading up to February's trade deadline. While Ball and his camp may be turned off by the prospect of relocating to New Orleans, the team is really high on the 21-year-old point guard's fit with their roster. During a recent interview with ESPN LA's "Mason & Ireland," Pelicans beat writer Andrew Lopez of the The Times-Picayune said Gentry sees Ball starting alongside Jrue Holiday to form one of the NBA's best defensive backcourts: It's probably Boston first and then I'd put the Lakers second. The Lakers do have good assets that people in the Pelicans' organization value. For instance, Alvin Gentry loves the idea of having a Lonzo Ball-Jrue Holiday backcourt. LaVar Ball does not love the idea of a Lonzo Ball-Jrue Holiday backcourt, so that makes things a little bit complicated. They like some of the guys higher in the draft. Both Ball and Holiday finished the 2018-19 season ranked in the top-10 for Defensive Real Plus-Minus, according to ESPN. In the season prior, they both finished in the top-five. Offensively, they would complement each other well, too. Ball isn't much of a scorer and he wouldn't have to be next to Holiday, who averaged a career-high 21.2 points per game on 47.2 percent shooting from the field, including 32.5 percent shooting from behind the arc. If Ball can replicate the success he had with Jrue's brother, Aaron, at UCLA, the Pelicans will have one of the NBA's most formidable backcourts. Meanwhile, the Lakers would add a perennial All-Star in Davis to pair with James. If done correctly, a trade centered around Ball and the No. 4 pick for Davis could be a win-win situation for both the Lakers and Pelicans.

The 2019 Women's World Cup kicks off on Friday night when France take on South Korea at the Parc des Princes, with the hosts looking to kick off their campaign with a convincing win. Les Bleues come into the tournament as joint favourites with the United States, meaning the pressure will be on when they come up against a plucky South Korea side in front of a sell-out home crowd. South Korea will be looking to progress past the group stages for a second consecutive World Cup, having been knocked out of the 2015 tournament at the last 16 stage, ironically by France. Completing Group A is Norway and Nigeria, who meet 24 hours after France and South Korea. The hosts will be well aware of the threat posed by the Norwegians, and will know that nothing but a win will do on Friday night. Check out 90min's preview of the World Cup opener below. Where to Watch  When Is Kick Off? Friday 7th June  What Time Is Kick Off?  20:00 BST Where Is It Played?  Parc des Princes TV Channel/Live Stream? BBC One  Referee? Claudia Umpiérrez Team News France managed to come through their final warm-up fixture, a 2-1 win over China, without picking up any injury concerns, meaning manager Corinne Diacre will have a fully fit squad to choose from. Much of this French squad featured in the dominant Olympique Lyonnais side who recently won their fourth straight Champions League title. Players such Eugenie Le Sommer and Amandine Henry will be hoping to carry their club form into this international tournament. Similarly, South Korea used their final warm-up game against Sweden as a means of getting as many of their players up to match fitness. They used a total of 17 players, meaning manager Yoon Deok-yeo has a fully fit and, more importantly, ready to go squad to choose from. Head to Head Record These two sides have only come face to face once before, which was at the 2015 World Cup in Canada. France ran out comfortable 3-0 victors on the day, knocking South Korea out after they had made it past the group stages for the first time in their history. Any hope the Koreans had of victory were over in a flash, as Les Bleues raced into a two goal lead after just eight minutes. Marie-Laure Delie completed the scoring at the beginning of the second half, and the favourites cruised through to the quarter-finals. Recent Form Les Bleues come into this fixture on the back of a red hot run of form, having won six of their seven games in 2019. The pick of the bunch was their convincing 3-1 friendly win over Japan - a side who are tipped as many people's dark horses for this year's World Cup. France's only defeat of this calendar year came at the hands of another hotly-tipped team in Germany, when they slippedl to a 1-0 defeat. Despite the result, the French team played well and were unlucky not to get anything out of the game. South Korea's form on the other hand is little more mixed, as they have won just two of their six matches this year. A last minute defeat to Sweden last time out was not the preparation the Koreans would have hoped for going into this tie, so Yoon Deok-yeo will be looking for a response from his players on Friday. Here's how two sides have fared in their previous five fixtures:  France South Korea   France 2-1 China (31/05) Sweden 1-0 South Korea (31/05)  France 3-0 Thailand (25/05)  South Korea 1-1 Iceland (09/04)  France 4-0 Denmark (08/04)  South Korea 2-3 Iceland (06/04)  France 3-1 Japan (04/04)  South Korea 2-0 New Zealand (06/03)  France 6-0 Uruguay (04/03) Australia 4-1 South Korea (03/03) Prediction France will undoubtedly be heavy favourites for this tie, with most pundits expecting them to cruise to victory in front of the home supporters. You can expect South Korea to try to use the home crowd against France, and look to make this a tight, nervy game. They have shown themselves to be difficult to beat in recent fixtures, and that shouldn't change on Friday. However, the hosts have a wealth of talent that is likely to make the difference later on in the game and should ultimately see them take the three points. Prediction: France 2-0 South Korea


CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cavs Legion Gaming Club, the NBA 2K League esports team owned and operated by the Cavaliers, unveiled plans Thursday for a state-of-the-art esports facility in Cleveland's Battery Park neighborhood. The 2,700-sq. ft. space will open in the fall and serve as the practice facility for Cavs Legion GC during the season, which runs from April to July. During the rest of the year, the center will be used for organized gaming competitions, tournaments, watch parties, and events such as corporate outings, birthday parties and educational programs. "We're thrilled to introduce this state-of-the-art facility designed to provide esports enthusiasts from Cleveland, Northeast Ohio and beyond a place to come together to compete, create and celebrate the world of competitive gaming," says Nic Barlage, Cavaliers President of Business Operations, in a release. "Not only will this training center give our Cavs Legion team a first-class venue to practice and sharpen their skills for the NBA 2K League, but it will also provide our region's next generation of star gamers best-in-class tools to fuel their passion for esports." The organization says the location, in the Battery Park Powerhouse on the opposite side of Terrestrial Brewing Company, was chosen because of its proximity to its headquarters at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the player's living quarters in the neighborhood and the recreational and entertainment opportunities at nearby Edgewater Beach. The team isn't divulging how much the project will cost, but says it's being "100% fully funded" by the Cavaliers organization through revenue generated through corporate sponsorships and with no public money. According to Jonathan Sumers, Senior Director of Esports for Cavs Legion GC, the need for a practice facility became evident during the team's inaugural season in 2018. The idea grew from there. "It quickly dawned on us that this was a great opportunity to expand our footprint beyond [the NBA 2K League] and to all of esports by building and operating a facility that is public facing," he says. "There's nothing like this facility in Northeast Ohio. There is no space that is an all-in-one encompassing play and view experience. "There are tens of thousands of gamers within the area and our goal is to serve as that home base for playing, viewing and learning anything esports and gaming related," Sumers said. To meet that goal, the Cavs really tricked out the space. The gaming arena consists of two six-person tiered stages facing each other, a huge 16x5 video wall and a capacity for up to 60 spectators. There are also 40 Alienware gaming desktops equipped with Raynor gaming chairs and SteelSeries peripherals, plus a super fast internet connection. The center is being optimized for content creation and distribution as well, with its own production studio for video and podcasting, and a pair of streaming pods. "[This facility] will really extend our brand and our presence via online platforms such as Twitch and YouTube to the globe for both the esports and gaming audience," Sumers says. Education is a big part of the facility's mission, too. Sumers says he could easily imagine a day when kids in Cleveland are wearing varsity jackets that say esports, Overwatch or League of Legends on them. "It's no longer a niche sport, it is very much mainstream and traditional." But the Cavs Legion GC's esports center isn't just a place for kids to play games and watch tournaments, he says. To that point, the team envsions working with Cleveland city schools and rec centers on a series of events in which kids learn from experts on game development, graphic design, esports videography, esports event production, how to stream, or how to build a PC. "All the peripheral aspects of gaming that people don't think about," Sumers says. "The technology we're going to have and the level of computers and streaming equipment, VR and AR equipment, film and lighting and the content studio-- we anticipate a lot of this is technology that most youth within Cleveland have never experienced using before," Sumers says. "We want them to use it for the first time with us." But the ultimate goal of the new esports facility is to reach young people where they are to connect them with the Cavaliers brand. The hope is they become die-hard fans. "The economy and revenue [of the esports industry] has grown from $220 million in 2014 is almost a billion dollar industry now. So, esports is not going anywhere. If anything, it's only going to continue to grow," Sumers says. "Every professional sports team wants to reach young fans and develop them to be affiliated and be a fan for life. I can without without any hyperbole say that I strongly believe that esports and gaming is one of the best ways to do that." ___ (c)2019 The Plain Dealer, Cleveland Visit The Plain Dealer, Cleveland at www.cleveland.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

The Indianapolis Colts added two more 2019 draft picks to the roster on Monday bringing them another step closer to signing all 10 of their selections. The Colts currently have seven of their 10 draft picks under contract for the next four years. How those contract details come out will have an impact on what the salary cap looks like for Indy this year and for the years to come. We will update this post when the remaining draft picks sign their rookie contracts. Here's a quick look at what the contracts look like for each pick with information on where to find them: CB Rock Ya-Sin ( four-year, $7.916 million ) LB Ben Banogu ( four-year, $5.944 million ) WR Parris Campbell ( four-year, 4.77 million ) LB Bobby Okereke (unsigned) S Khari Willis ( four-year, $3.288 million ) CB Marvell Tell ( four-year, $2.848 million ) LB E.J. Speed ( four-year, $2.809 million ) DE Gerri Green ( four-year, $2.677 million ) OT Jackson Barton ( four-year, $2.599 million ) G Javon Patterson ( four-year, $2.594 million ) It should be noted that because the Colts traded away their first-round pick, they won't get a fifth-year team option on any of the players selected in the 2019 draft. It's not a huge deal, but it will have somewhat of an impact in the future. Getting the contracts done quickly is always a priority so the rookies don't have to worry about anything off the field while they familiarize themselves in the league. The Colts have just on draft pick remaining to be signed from the 2019 class, which is something to keep an eye on during the immediate future.

Tottenham are awaiting a fitness update on versatile defender Juan Foyth after the 21-year-old was stretchered off with an ankle injury during the pre-season Audi Cup final against Bayern Munich. Foyth was taken off in the second half of the 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena - Spurs eventually won the contest on penalties - and anything more than a minimal absence threatens to leave the club very short at the back ahead of the forthcoming season. "I need to talk with the doctor. [Foyth] twisted his ankle but at the moment I cannot give an update. He said his ankle was very painful," Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said, via BBC Sport . Although a centre back by trade, Foyth can and has played at right back for Spurs . And with Kieran Trippier sold to Atletico Madrid and Serge Aurier not training because of surgery on a hand injury, any significant injury to Foyth could be a major problem for Spurs. As things stand, Foyth is suspended for the opening two games of the Premier League season anyway, leaving the inexperienced Kyle Walker-Peters as the only right-back in the squad. Walker-Peters, 22, played just six Premier League games last season, and 10 in all competitions, but he may find himself thrown in at the deep end as a starter unless the club makes an emergency dip into the transfer market before the imminent deadline on 8 August. Toby Alderweireld, who is now likely to stay at Spurs this summer after his £25m release clause expired, was known to play at right back in his younger days and could be another option. Spurs will face Inter in their final pre-season game of the summer at home on 4 August, before kicking off their Premier League campaign with the visit of Aston Villa six days later.


City leaders unveiled plans Tuesday for a new public plaza in downtown Milwaukee. It will be on Wisconsin Avenue, just south of the Wisconsin Center. Plans include a garden, a potential cafe and a stop for the proposed streetcar extension. It will be named after civil rights pioneer Vel Phillips. "Vel Phillips was about people. She cared about people. She loved people. She cared about this city. She was a trailblazer. I think it's befitting for her to have this location honor her," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said. The space is currently being used as a parking lot.

The Lions have moved on from one of their longest-tenured players. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that the team has released running back Theo Riddick . His roster spot will be taken by defensive lineman Mike Daniels , who signed with Detroit on Friday. The Notre Dame product has been with the Lions since he was drafted in the sixth round of the 2013 draft. The running back soon became one of Matthew Stafford 's favorite targets, as Riddick has finished with at least 50 receptions per season since 2015. Actually, as our own Dallas Robinson pointed out, the 28-year-old has garnered more pass targets than rush attempts in half of his NFL seasons, and his career 3.6 yards-per-carry average indicates that he's much more dangerous in the passing game. Despite his production, there was some speculation that the Lions could move on from the veteran. Riddick agreed to a three-year, $11.5M extension with Detroit back in 2016, and he was set to count for $4.625M on the team's 2019 salary cap. Now, the Lions will only be left with approximately $963K in dead cap. Furthermore, the running back had one of his worst NFL seasons from a statistical standpoint, and the Lions added veteran C.J. Anderson and rookie Ty Johnson to pair with Kerryon Johnson and Zach Zenner . While none of those players possess the pass-catching prowess of Riddick, it was clear that the veteran was the odd man out. Riddick is still relatively young, and plenty of teams could use a top-notch third-down back. It wouldn't be shocking to see the running back quickly catch on with a brand-new organization.


FBI data suggests gun sales in the U.S. shot up in August after a barrage of high-profile shootings led to renewed calls for stronger firearm laws. The FBI posted 1.7 million background checks required of gun buyers at federally-licensed dealers   the highest number seen in any August since the checks began in 1998, according to a USA TODAY report published Saturday. It turns out it was a very busy summer for gun lovers. The soaring tally comes on the heels of monthly highs for June (1.5 million) and July (1.6 million), a stretch that spanned a series of deadly gun attacks from Charleston to Roanoke. "Whenever there is a call for gun control, sales increase," said Larry Keane, general counsel for the firearm industry trade association National Shooting Sports Foundation. "Unfortunately, this is a pattern that repeats itself." The FBI does not record actual gun sales   as multiple firearms can be included in a transaction by a single buyer   but the National Instant Criminal Background Check System's data suggests the market is booming. The apparent summer buying spree did not quite match the boom that followed the 2012 Newtown, Conn. massacre, which sparked a chorus of calls for stricter gun laws that ultimately went unheeded. The shocking Aug. 26 murder of a reporter and cameraman in Virginia capped the recent spate of shootings and reignited a push for stricter gun laws. Patrick Hope, a Virginia state assemblyman who proposed an expansion of background checks following the murders, said the stockpiling of weapons represented an "over-reaction." "We're not at all threatening any one's ability to get a gun," Hope told USA TODAY. "What we're talking about here is common sense legislation. I don't think anyone is threatened by background checks."


The Trump administration is denying congressional Democrats access to information regarding the background check and security clearance process for White House staff, in the latest step to push back on investigations emanating from Capitol Hill . White House Counsel Pat Cipollone penned a letter explaining the decision Wednesday to House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who is leading a probe into potential misconduct concerning security clearances for White House officials. TRUMP VOWS TO FIGHT ALL SUBPOENAS "[T]he Administration respects the authority of Congress to conduct legitimate oversight and will work with the Committee through the constitutionally mandated accommodation process to provide the Committee with information it can properly seek," he wrote. "However, to be clear, no employee of the Executive Branch is or has been authorized to disclose to the Committee information about individual security clearance files or background investigations." Cipollone, warning that the committee's actions could discourage individuals from pursuing careers in government, called it "highly improper for the Committee to induce or encourage the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information in order to launch public political attacks on individuals as part of advancing a partisan political agenda." He added: "I respectfully urge the Committee to cease these improper methods of obtaining information to which it is not legally entitled." Cipollone said the White House will continue to work with the committee and provide materials that are properly requested. "The Committee is not a law enforcement agency, and it is improper for it to be targeting and intimidating individual Americans under the guise of oversight," Cipollone wrote. "Similarly, Congress does not have power to target individuals for the sake of 'exposing' alleged derogatory information to the public." Cipollone claimed that the committee's request for individual security clearance files and information "has no legitimate legislative purpose." The White House also argued that the committee has requested documents that are "not subject to disclosure," including requests that cover "communications to and from the President," which are "at the heart of executive privilege," and other "protected" communications. Cipollone further said the materials from individual security clearance files consist of information gathered by the FBI. "Releasing information prepared by the FBI in connection with a security clearance review would undermine the investigative process, expose sensitive information that could jeopardize the FBI's ability to conduct future investigations, and raise serious separation of powers concerns," he wrote. Cipollone's letter comes after the president warned congressional Democrats he would fight "all" subpoenas issued to current and former administration officials as part of the Democrats' sweeping Trump-focused investigations. And the letter comes shortly before ex-White House security official Carl Kline is slated to appear before the committee for an interview related to his activities in his former position. The committee subpoenaed Kline earlier this month, but the White House blocked Kline from complying. Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, then warned the White House that if it did not provide Kline for an interview, Cummings would likely begin contempt proceedings against him. Cummings indeed fired off a stern warning to Kline around that time. "Your refusal to participate in a deposition last Tuesday pursuant to a duly authorized subpoena from this Committee is a very serious matter that places you in significant legal jeopardy," Cummings wrote in a letter made public Sunday. "Your actions are particularly egregious because you did not even appear before the Committee as the subpoena directed. I understand that the White House ordered you not to appear, but that is not a valid legal reason to defy a congressional subpoena. The President asserted no Constitutional privilege and has not relieved you of the legal requirement the subpoena imposed." The White House and Kline ultimately agreed to the new interview format. Kline's subpoena was issued as part of the committee's investigation into security clearances issued to senior Trump administration officials, including Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former White House aide Rob Porter. The probe intensified after Tricia Newbold, an 18-year government employee who oversaw the issuance of clearances for some senior White House aides, revealed that she compiled a list of at least 25 officials who were initially denied security clearances last year, but had senior officials overrule those denials. The White House's defiance of the Kline subpoena comes after lawyers for Trump last week sued the committee to block subpoenas for the president's financial records. The Associated Press contributed to this report.


CLEVELAND (AP) Justin Verlander was on top of his game Tuesday night. Verlander struck out 13 to reach double figures for the third straight start and sixth time this season, leading the Houston Astros over the Cleveland Indians 2-0. In a matchup of All-Stars, Verlander (14-4) outpitched Shane Bieber and won his fourth consecutive start, tying Washington's Stephen Strasburg for the major league lead in wins. Verlander allowed two hits in seven innings and walked none for the sixth time in 23 starts this year. Verlander had been 9-16 with a 5.56 ERA in 28 career starts at Cleveland coming in. ''I exorcized some demons here today,'' he said. ''I haven't pitched well in this ballpark, and to do it against a great pitcher in Bieber, that was good.'' He allowed one runner to reach second. Cleveland's only hits were singles by Roberto Perez leading off the third and Greg Allen starting the sixth. Verlander made his 53th career start against the Indians. ''I gather as much information as I can through scouting reports and asking questions, but the more important thing was I had 14 years of instinct to use today,'' he said. ''I trust my eyes, I trust what I see, and I process all of that when I'm facing a team that I'm very familiar with.'' Indians manager Terry Francona was impressed by the dominating performance. ''If you watched, he had everything - fastball, offspeed, couple varieties of changeup,'' he said. ''It's one of those nights where as a manager you're sitting there and you're rooting your guys on, but you're also glad you're not in the batter's box.'' Cleveland, the AL wild card leader, struck out 15 times. Will Harris fanned two in a perfect eighth and Roberto Osuna followed with a 1-2-3 ninth for his 24th save in 28 chances. Houston, the AL West leader, won its third straight. Verlander and Gerrit Cole top the rotation but the Astros have been seeking help for the back end ahead of Wednesday's trade deadline. Bieber (10-4) gave up two runs and nine hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and one walk. He had been 4-0 in six starts since losing at Texas on June 20. ''Biebs pitched terrific,'' Francona said. ''That lineup gives you no ... there's no breath. They come at you one through nine. Give the kid credit. We've seen him do that before.'' Verlander started the July 9 All-Star Game in Cleveland and Bieber was the MVP. Robinson Chirinos hit a go-ahead homer in the two-run fifth. Michael Brantley appearing in a regular season game in Cleveland for the first time since signing with Houston in December, had an RBI single in the fifth. Brantley, who played for the Indians from 2009-18, was voted an All-Star starter. Jose Altuve had three hits and raised his average to .300. Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick began his two-game suspension for a July 7 plate collision with Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy. TRAINER'S ROOM Astros: RHP Brad Peacock (shoulder discomfort) is scheduled for a bullpen session Wednesday. He has been on the IL since June 28. Indians: RHP Danny Salazar, who hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2017, is to be activated from the IL to start Thursday. An All-Star team in 2016, Salazar is returning from shoulder surgery last July. He likely will throw 50-60 pitches and then be relieved by RHP Adam Plutko. MAKING PROGRESS RHP Corey Kluber (broken forearm) is scheduled to throw a simulated game against a group of Indians minor leaguers Saturday. He was hit by a line drive May 1. Kluber could begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment if he gets through the simulated game with no issues. UP NEXT Houston rookie RHP Jose Urquidy (1-0, 4.26) starts Wednesday after going 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA with 15 strikeouts over 13 innings in two starts. Indians rookie RHP Zach Plesac (5-3, 3.10 ERA) is to make his first career appearance against Houston. --- More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports


Becky had grown increasingly frustrated with her eating habits and weight. Approaching middle age, with an active family life and a busy work schedule that never seemed to let up, she knew it was time to make a change. After reading about intermittent fasting , or IF, she decided to give it a try. A few weeks into her new regimen, which includes two "fast" days (or days when she eats fewer than 1,000 calories) per week, Becky   whom I found via Facebook and whose name has been changed   already felt more hopeful and her pants felt a bit looser. Married couple Don and Kari   also Facebook contacts whose names have been changed   lost 160 pounds combined by committing to IF for a year. They felt better than they ever had in their adult lives, and don't think of it as a diet. Rather than designating some days "fasting days," they restrict what they eat to a seven-hour window of time (about noon to 7 p.m. most days). The couple views IF as sustainable and easier than any other approach to weight loss they've tried. IF   or, essentially not eating for certain parts of the day or week   can, as Becky, Don and Kari experienced   lead to weight loss since it usually means eating fewer calories. Some even find that weight loss is sustainable and the eating pattern doesn't leave them hungry. With anecdotes like this and all the media hype that IF has received, it's easy to wonder if the holy grail of weight loss has finally been located. But, from a psychological standpoint, it's not that simple. In addition to health concerns that accompany any diet   nutrient deficits, long-term eventual weight gain and psychological distress, to name a few   IF has some psychologists questioning: "How is this different from an eating disorder?" Eating disorder treatment facilities are going so far as to call out Silicon Valley's leaders for promoting the lifestyle. "Similar to the responses that many ... tech moguls described during their fasts, these behaviors may work in the short term, but can cause serious long-term physical and psychological complications," said Stu Koman, president and CEO of Walden Behavioral Care, a national mental health care system specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, in a press release . Eating Disorder Criteria According to the National Eating Disorders Association, people with anorexia nervosa generally restrict the number of calories and the types of food they eat, ignoring their bodies' hunger and satiety cues. They tend to be obsessed with issues concerning weight, calories, food and dieting. Anorexia is also characterized by disturbed body image and avoiding social situations that involve food. IF prescribes many of these features of an eating disorder. Binge eating disorder can look a lot like intermittent fasting, too: The condition is partially characterized by eating a larger amount of food in a certain time frame than most people would eat in that same window. Even if all the criteria for anorexia or binge eating disorder are not met, someone who is intermittent fasting may still have an eating disorder without a neat diagnosis . Many, if not most, people with eating disorders are not underweight, but are still at risk for serious and medical complications resulting from disordered eating. And, even if people begin IF with healthy intentions, as I believe most do, their behavior can still become an eating disorder. Dieting in general has been shown to be a risk factor for disordered eating, particularly among youth . In one review study published in the journal Pediatrics, "extreme" dieting, including severe restriction of caloric intake (hello, intermittent fasting), was predictive of eating disorders. And finally, even if people who are intermittent fasting maintain a totally healthy relationship with food and their bodies, other consequences of fasting can pervade all aspects their lives. Their sleep can be impaired, they may be less alert and many fasters report moodiness and irritability   even a desire to stay in bed all day. Perhaps most telling is that only 58% of research subjects who engage in IF for six months continue their weight-loss regimen, compared to 85% of research subjects who simply ate fewer calories across the day without fasting. Both groups lost about the same amount of weight. Who Is at Risk? So what's really the difference between IF and disordered eating? While some professionals may say "none," it seems the key difference may be in the mindset with which individuals maintain their eating habits. Are they really distraught about what they eat and their weight? Do they feel really guilty when they eat something they didn't plan to? Do they ignore bodily sensations of hunger and satiety? Do they feel out of control during their eating windows? Is their quality of life compromised by their eating habits? Answering "yes" to these questions may indicate that a person is at risk of an eating disorder. For a free screening tool and other resources check out the National Eating Disorders Association . If IF is sustainable and does not compromise quality of life or interfere with the rest of an individual's life in the way that an eating disorder does, then it may be worth trying. For people like Becky, Don and Kari, weight loss may lead to improved cardiovascular health, a reduction in the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and even years added to their lives. However, I'm confident that most health psychologists and nutrition professionals would rather people eat across the day and week in a moderate, balanced way. "Eat better (and probably less) and move more" is the least sexy weight-loss regimen ever prescribed, but it comes with far fewer, if any, risks.
