As they always do around this time annually, New Era unveiled their sideline hats for the 2019 NFL season for each of the league's 32 teams. Of course, the collection features the hats in which each respective team will wear on the sidelines for their home and away games. As most are aware, 2019 will be the NFL's 100th season, and each hat was designed with that in mind. For that reason, each hat will have each team's year of establishment on the side, so in the Jags' case, there will be a 1995 logo on the right side. The home cap features a teal brim, while the front of the crown is black with the Jags' logo on it. Above the logo is what looks to be retro lettering while the left and the right sides are teal like the brim. The away cap is a little easier on the eyes as the whole hat is black. New Era kept it simple by putting the Jags' logo on the front with no lettering, while making the stitching teal. The @Jaguars 2019 Official Sideline Home #NewEraCap .

STOCKHOLM   A powerful explosion ripped through two adjacent apartment buildings in a southern Swedish city on Friday, slightly injuring 25 people, officials said. The cause of the blast wasn't immediately known. "So far, it is unclear what exploded and what the location for the blast was," police spokesman Bjorn Oberg told a news conference, adding forensic teams were still at work. Police had no suspect and no one has been arrested. Kim Berg, a spokesman for the region's hospitals, said two people remain hospitalized in stable condition. Victims mainly suffered cuts from splintered and flying glass or were treated for shock. The explosion blew out dozens of windows and destroyed balconies in the buildings in central Linkoping, about 175 kilometers (110 miles) southwest of Stockholm. One of the buildings has five stories, while the other has four. A total of 109 apartments had their windows and balconies damaged, said Johan Edwardsson of the Linkoping municipality, adding "many won't be able to move home tonight." Police said a bomb squad had been deployed to the area as a precaution after the blast, which occurred shortly after 9 a.m. The area was sealed off by police. "As for now, we don't have any information to believe this is terror-related," Oberg said, adding there were not aware of any threat.


The view of earth from space is so spectacular that it can apparently transform astronauts' perspectives on life and even draw these scientists toward religion and spiritualism. "Something happens to you out there," Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has said . "You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it." Mitchell described this emotion as "interconnected euphoria" and several other astronauts have reported similar feelings of awe. "I felt the world was just… there was too much purpose, too much logic," said astronaut Gene Cernan. "It was too beautiful to happen by accident. There has to be somebody bigger than you, and bigger than me, and I mean this in a spiritual sense, not a religious sense." This moment of awe has had a permanent effect on some astronauts' lives. Charlie Duke, a lunar module pilot for Apollo 16, became a Christian after seeing earth from space; Jim Irwin of Apollo 15 became a preacher; Edgar Mitchell formed the Noetic Institute to research altered states of consciousness; and Apollo 9 astronaut Russell Schweickart began transcendental meditation and dedicated himself to voluntary work. In 1987, the writer Frank White interviewed and studied testimony from 29 astronauts and came up with the "overview effect" theory , arguing that the sight of earth from space transforms astronauts' perspectives on themselves and the world. Such a profound experience is unique to space travel, White says, and he argues that there's a physiological explanation. "The fact that this perspective happens while the person is in zero gravity is an integral part of the experience," he told Universe . And indeed, some studies do suggest that travelling at great heights can have a psychological effect. In 1957, a study of jet aviators flying above 13,000 feet found that around one in three have "break-off" experiences, which include feelings of exhilaration, awe, and separation from problems of the world. But it's also possible that the "overview effect" originates in the mind, not in a physiological state and that it can be recreated here on Earth. After all, there's a long history of associating space with religion or spirituality, and the "overview effect" could simply be a cultural phenomenon. The planets in our solar system have names derived from Greek or Roman gods, and early 20th century Russian space theorists were members of a philosophical "Cosmism" movement that saw space travel as a means of connecting the human race. Cosmist ideas also shape American attitudes to space travel, Albert Harrison, a former professor of psychology at U.C. Davis, has said. "You see this idea over and over when space exploration is discussed, the idea that we can leave behind the problems that plague society here on Earth and we create these wonderful new societies in space," he told the Atlantic . "There's a general resemblance in this thinking to religious views of heaven, and in particular notions of salvation." If astronauts' feelings of awe are simply an expression of cultural attitudes, then the physical effects of space travel wouldn't be necessary to provoke the "overview effect." Neuroscientist Dr Andy Newberg has studied brain scans of people who have had religious or spiritual experiences on earth, and believes that space travel could have a similar effect to transcendental meditation . He hopes to study the brains of space tourists to monitor any physical effects of space travel and determine whether the view of earth from space can induce a state of euphoria. But the sense of awe described by astronauts needn't be inaccessible to earth-bound humans. After all, just as astronaut Gene Cernan was struck by the logic and purpose of the world from space, 18th century philosopher William Paley, who compared design of the world to the intricate construction of a watch, had a similar epiphany here on earth. So if you can't afford a ticket into space, then try transcendental meditation or reading philosophy. You don't need to travel to the moon for a change in perspective.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Mets have activated outfielder Michael Conforto from the seven-day injured list and put him in the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. Conforto cleared Major League Baseball's concussion protocol and was batting third and playing right field on Sunday. The Mets designated outfielder Rajai Davis for assignment. Conforto suffered a concussion when he collided with teammate Robinson Cano chasing a flyball on May 16. Manager Mickey Callaway says Conforto is ''full go'' with no limitations. The 26-year-old Conforto is batting .271 with nine home runs and 21 RBIs. Davis connected for a pinch-hit, three-run homer Wednesday in his first at-bat for the Mets. He had been called up from Triple-A Syracuse that day, arrived at Citi Field during the game and then homered. Davis went 2 for 7 with New York. Callaway said the Mets hope that no other team claims the 38-year-old Davis and that he remains in the organization. He said it was a tough decision to cut Davis, and that the Mets wanted to take a longer look at newly acquired outfielder Aaron Altherr. ''I signed here to play here,'' Davis said as he packed his bag inside the clubhouse. ''I'm playing,'' he said. ''Nothing wrong with me.'' --- More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports Related slideshow: 2019 MLB season (provided by imagn)


Harry Gant built a legendary career as one of the most popular drivers on the NASCAR circuit. Revisit his wins and iconic cars through the years. Harry Gant became a popular favorite in stock-car racing with a successful 18-win career in NASCAR's top series and an easygoing manner that endeared him to fans. Gant earned several nicknames along the way and became closely linked to the No. 33. With a rich history of archival photos to choose from, we look at Harry Gant's career through the years. Harry Gant was a force in the weekly and touring Late Model Sportsman ranks, winning the 1973 track championship at Hickory (N.C.) Speedway. Here, he flashes the trademark smile that earned the nickname \"Handsome Harry\" in Victory Lane after winning a 1977 Modified event at Daytona International Speedway. Gant continued to drive in the Late Model Sportsman ranks as the tour evolved into the Busch Series and later the NASCAR Xfinity Series, first flying the No. 77 and later the No. 7. Gant scored 21 wins after the tour became a national series in 1982. Gant made spot starts in NASCAR's top series from 1973-78 before joining team owner Jack Beebe and his No. 47 outfit early in the 1979 season. Their partnership produced nine top-five finishes and Gant's first career pole in nearly two seasons together. Here, Gant's No. 47 works to the high side of Darrell Waltrip's No. 88 at Bristol Motor Speedway in 1979. Gant became connected with film director and stuntman Hal Needham, who became a car owner with partner Burt Reynolds in 1981. Needham brought some Hollywood flair to the circuit, but his birthplace was Memphis, Tennessee, in the heart of stock-car racing country. His green-and-white Skoal Bandit No. 33 cars soon became synonymous with Gant. Among his nicknames was one Gant never wanted: \"Hard-luck Harry,\" which referenced his 10 runner-up finishes before collecting his first win. Gant's breakthrough victory finally came on April 25, 1982 at Martinsville Speedway, where he survived damage from a blown tire and wall scrape to beat runner-up Butch Lindley by a full lap. \"You have to have luck, get the best pit stops or have the fastest car,\" Gant said. \"Today, we had all of 'em.\" Victories began to flow with more regularity after his first win. Later in the 1982 season, Gant prevailed from the pole position at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the National 500 trophy. Harry Gant in the cockpit of his No. 33. Travis Carter, his crew chief from 1981-88, is outside the car to Gant's left. Win No. 5 on Harry Gant's career list was a prestigious one, coming in the 1984 Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. The South Carolina venue was among Gant's best tracks, the site of four wins in his career. Harry Gant celebrates in Victory Lane at Darlington in 1984. He collected $46,180 for the win. Harry Gant drives under the checkered flag at Martinsville Speedway in April 1985. His No. 33 Chevrolet led 193 of the 500 laps. Harry Gant sits alongside Jack Ingram at an autograph session at Dover International Speedway. The two drivers competed in different series, but both were backed by sponsorship from Skoal. Both also had roots in western North Carolina, with Gant from Taylorsville and Ingram hailing from Asheville. The day after that autograph session, Gant landed in Victory Lane at Dover after winning the Delaware 500. The Monster Mile was also friendly territory for Gant, who recorded four Cup Series wins at Dover in his career. Harry Gant poses with one of his Skoal Bandit No. 33 entries from the 1980s at Daytona International Speedway. After three winless seasons, Harry Gant left Needham's operation at the end of the 1988 season to work with team owner Leo Jackson. That lean period included a broken leg in a crash during the 1988 Coca-Cola 600 that sidelined Gant for five races. Gant shrugged off the injury, saying \"I could have done that falling off my house.\" Needham sold his operation, but Gant and Jackson continued with Skoal as the primary backer and the familiar No. 33. Harry Gant's new team hit paydirt quickly with a victory on April 2, 1989 at Darlington that ended a 90-race drought. \"I thought it would take us a little bit longer than this to get everything all worked out,\" Gant said after his fifth start with the Jackson team. \"It's real good to win. I just hope the other boys on the crew feel good.\" Gant won once in 1990 (at Pocono), but his best season was yet to come. Gant's No 33 Oldsmobile showed the way in the ninth race of the 1991 campaign as he claimed his only victory at Talladega Superspeedway. Gant's signature streak of performance near the end of the 1991 campaign earned him another nickname -- \"Mr. September.\" Here, he celebrates in Darlington's Victory Lane on Labor Day weekend, leading 152 of the 367 laps in the Southern 500. That set the stage for a remarkable run of four straight wins for the 51-year-old veteran, a streak that had the NASCAR world buzzing. Harry Gant finds a path by Mark Martin at Martinsville Speedway on Sept. 22, 1991, on his way to victory in the Goody's 500. Wins at Richmond and Dover preceded that triumph, but Gant's streak ended the following week at North Wilkesboro with a second-place result. Gant drove for three more seasons at the premier-series level, posting two more wins in 1992. Two years after his final Cup Series start, Gant dabbled with 11 races in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series in 1996, posting four top-10 finishes. Harry Gant drove the No. 33 once again in a meeting of NASCAR legends in Late Model cars at Bristol Motor Speedway in March 2009. Gant, then 69 years old, exited the exhibition race early with engine issues. Harry Gant takes his place alongside Ned Jarrett in a Q&A session with fans at the Darlington Historic Racing Festival on September 25, 2010. Still a fan favorite, Gant signs Bandit memorabilia at the Darlington Raceway historic meet. Harry Gant stands with NASCAR Hall of Famer Jack Ingram after his induction on January 29, 2014. Gant presented Ingram with his Hall of Fame ring during the ceremonies.


Granted, things with your football team are generally pretty good when folks are heatedly debating about who should be holding the clipboard on the sidelines. But, as Cowboys fans have seen first-hand over the past dozen or so years, the other guy can suddenly be pressed into service as the guy in the blink of an eye. So even though Dak Prescott's place as the team's quarterback is locked in, it's only natural to take the occasional peek behind him to see who's waiting in the wings should the unthinkable happen. Cooper Rush and Mike White would appear to be in a head-to-head battle for the 2019 backup spot, but there is a growing rumble among some that Dallas would be better served by looking outside the organization and bringing in a proven veteran as Prescott's understudy. In a recent chat, Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News gave his odds regarding the Cowboys' backup quarterback spot. "I'm currently at about 50 percent chance it's Cooper Rush," Machota writes, "43 percent chance it's Mike White, and 7 percent chance it's a player not on the current roster. "Rush had a big day in the final minicamp practice on Thursday," Machota continues. "He was sharp on most of his throws and he was spreading the ball around. He struggled at times during OTAs and the first day of minicamp, but he bounced back well… White was a fifth-round pick in 2018, so obviously there are people in the building who are high on him. It will all come down to training camp and the four preseason games. Whoever performs better gets the job. If they are both an absolute disaster, well, that's where the seven percent comes in." Thursday's performance from Rush also received praise from Cowboys staff writer Rob Phillips. "Dropping dimes," Phillips effuses about Rush on The Blitz , referring to deep passes where the Central Michigan alum connected with both Jon'Vea Johnson and Lance Lenoir. Phillips noted that both Rush and White were able to lead their units on two-minute touchdown drives. And while he didn't pick one over the other to be Prescott's backup, Phillips did speculate that with a new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach already in place, also dumping the guys who have been there and starting over with new project players behind Prescott is simply too much turnover all at once. Longtime scout Bryan Broaddus disagrees and believes the answer is still out there waiting on a phone call. "Why has it taken thirteen practices for them to have a good one?" Broaddus asks in reply to Phillips. "I'm one of the biggest Mike White fans in this building, but Mike White has not developed in two years now, that I've seen him as a player. So, no, the current backup quarterback is not on this roster. I know Dak Prescott is indestructible, but this, I think, is going to be a sticking point for this team." Does that mean possibly trolling the waters for a veteran passer to bring in and learn the system? "They have to," Broaddus opined. "They cannot sacrifice this season if something happens to Dak Prescott, and they're playing with these two guys. It's just not going to work out that way." Of course, it worked out in 2006 when then-coach Bill Parcells yanked an ineffective Drew Bledsoe and put in his backup, an unheard-of guy who most fans thought had been named after a chain of rib restaurants. And then when Tony Romo's back broke in the 2016 preseason, things worked out when a fourth-round rookie from Mississippi State took over. Is it possible that Rush or White could suddenly morph into an NFL starter if need be? Of course it is. Is it possible that both would end up on the longer list of Cowboys quarterbacks who never lived up to expectations? Absolutely. But some of the available free agent quarterbacks out there on the market are already on that list. Is anyone seriously suggesting getting back into bed with Brandon Weeden? Or Mark Sanchez? Or Matt Cassel? A guy like Matt Schaub has been around and can certainly learn the offense; but at 37 years old, is he a legitimately better option than Rush or White, who have been in the locker room and around these receivers and participating in the offense on a daily basis? Does anyone believe Josh Johnson or Brock Osweiler is really an upgrade the team can depend on? It's not like anyone in Dallas is going to overlook the backup quarterback position. Just look at the coaching staff. Jason Garrett, Kellen Moore, and Jon Kitna all know the importance of having the next guy up be ready if called upon. They know it more than most; they've all been the next guy up. If that triumvirate sees enough in either Rush or White for the team to sit tight at quarterback, then maybe there shouldn't be a debate at all.

The Redskins are having trade discussions regarding tackle Trent Williams, according to a source. Unclear what type of compensation they'd require in a trade. There's a feeling around the league the Patriots would be involved due to depth issues at the position. - Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) July 31, 2019 According to Jeff Howe, who covers the New England Patriots for The Athletic, the Redskins are reportedly involved in trade discussions for left tackle Trent Williams. Williams has been holding out from the team since spring camp, citing a rift in his relationship with the team's medical staff, as well as a desire to reach a new contract extension in Washington. There have been very few updates about the holdout situation aside from just conjecture, but a possible trade for Williams has been mentioned. Howe suggested the Patriots might be in the market due to a shallow depth at their tackle positions. In the meantime, the Redskins have brought in a number of offensive linemen to try and shore up the left side in Williams' absence. Veteran Donald Penn was recently signed to a one-year contract, and he is currently the frontrunner to start at the LT position.

Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has requested to leave the club this summer in search of silverware and Champions League football. The Eagles star reportedly met with club chairman Steve Parish after the conclusion of the Premier League season this week, where he made his feelings known and asked to be granted a transfer this summer. According to the Daily Mail , Palace are resigned to losing their star player this summer and are ready to listen to offers, valuing Zaha at £80m, and will look to use the hefty fee to invest in two to three players to reduce the impact of his exit. Zaha has already hinted that he's ready to move on to a bigger club, saying in an interview several weeks ago: "For me to be better to achieve what I know I am capable of, I have to aim to play at the very highest level, to win trophies. I'm blessed to have come this far in my playing career but I feel like there is so much more to offer. "I have to experience Champions League . I just need the opportunity, that's it. I'll do the rest." If this is the summer you go, thank you. The greatest ever Palace player. Scored countless crucial goals and is the definition of a club legend. The  of SE25, Wilfried Zaha. pic.twitter.com/dEDYMOTAs5   Palace Eagles (@PalaceEagles_) May 16, 2019 Last summer, amid rumours of a possible exit, Zaha signed a new five-year deal with the club that made him the Eagles' highest earner at £130,000-a-week, putting his transfer dreams on hold. This season the Ivory Coast international repaid the confidence, enjoying his most prolific campaign of his career as he scored ten goals and provided a further ten assists from 34 Premier League appearances, helping the club recover from their disastrous start to the season and finish in 12th. If Zaha succeeds in completing his transfer, it could spell bad news for suitors of Crystal Palace 's breakout right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as the club will fear a backlash from the fans should they let both players leave this summer. Wan-Bissaka has been linked with big-money moves to Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United, but should Zaha leave it will take a very tempting offer to make Palace consider selling the England Under-21 international.


A tractor-trailer fire early Thursday on the New Jersey Turnpike caused traffic delays in Linden, according to 511nj.org . The fire was reported about 4:35 a.m. in the southbound lane near Exit 12. Two right lanes were blocked and delays on the Turnpike backed up toward Exit 13. There were no reports of injuries. The logo on the outside of the trailer is for a gourmet food business, but the cargo in the truck was not immediately available. Anthony G. Attrino may be reached at tattrino@njadvancemedia.com .

LOS ANGELES - When Nipsey Hussle was killed outside his Hyde Park storefront in March, the incident brought attention to South Los Angeles and the many ways the rapper influenced the community. The rap star's death stirred an outpouring of grief worldwide, but he was one of 29 people who have lost their lives in the Los Angeles Police Department's South Bureau so far this year. Almost all of the victims were black, male and died from gunfire. Some were killed standing on street corners. Others were in cars or hanging out with friends. Many left behind children. Hussle left a legacy of hope and prosperity for South L.A. communities historically on the short end of both. But his death was a reminder of the grim toll exacted on the loved ones of those cut down by violence. Here are some of their stories. Allen Thomas, 17 Allen Thomas grew up seeing Hussle driving around his Vermont Slauson neighborhood. The slain rapper was among those who inspired Allen to strive for more out of life. In an essay, Allen, a senior at Crenshaw High School, wrote of growing up in poverty and witnessing gang violence. "Every day I see people deal drugs and others who are there hanging out with their homies doing absolutely nothing," he wrote. He wanted to be different, to attend college and maybe even become a doctor, he said. He was killed March 16, three days before his 18th birthday. Allen stood in a driveway in the 1200 block of West 57th Street when a sedan drove by and someone inside began shooting. He ran, but was struck and later died at a hospital. Police have no suspects. A few feet away, his grandmother heard the shots. Patricia Williams, 73, said she is lost without him. "He never went to bed without asking, 'Is there anything I can do for you, Momma Pat?'" Williams said, sitting on the couch in her living room. Allen was an athlete who enjoyed football, soccer and track. In Williams' living room, there are scattered belongings of her grandson: his blue backpack, a gray Crenshaw High sweatshirt and his football jerseys. His father, Regenald Thomas, said when he lost his younger son Dana at seven years old in 2011, Allen was there to keep him afloat. "He kept me on my toes all the time," he said. Allen had sat for his senior portrait. He was set to attend Southwest College in the fall. His acceptance letter is framed on the fireplace mantle. On a poster board filled with images in a corner of the living room, one photo stands out: Allen smiles shyly next to Hussle, who has his arm wrapped around the boy's shoulder. His family doesn't know when the picture was taken. Hussle would be killed only two weeks after Allen's death. Jamar Mccollum, 26 On a recent evening, Jackie Mccollum stood where her son Jamar had been shot only hours earlier. She was surrounded by other mothers who had lost a child to violence. "We're not supposed to bury our kids," Mccollum said to the assembled TV camera crews. She thanked everyone and said there are no words to describe the feeling of losing a son. "I'm going to keep on trudging," she said. "And my son will always be in my heart." Early on April 15, Jamar Mccollum was found shot to death inside a gray Lexus in the 600 block of East Century Boulevard in the Green Meadows neighborhood of South Los Angeles. Officials said his body had been there for hours before it was discovered. So far police have few details about the death and have not identified a suspect. Mccollum, a motorcycle mechanic, lived down the street from the crime scene and was not a gang member, police said. He had a 5-year-old son. As night fell, about 100 people had come to mourn him. Some lit white candles that formed a "J" and a heart on the street. His girlfriend, Chevette Veney, said he liked to ride motorcycles and was part of a motorcycle club called the L.A. Defiant Ones. "This was not his time," she said, her voice strained from crying. Michael Hemphill III, 29 The funeral home in Lawndale was packed last Tuesday, with mourners spilling into the parking lot and onto nearby sidewalks to pay respects to 29-year-old Michael Hemphill III. Hemphill, a security guard who left behind a 10-year-old daughter, was described by friends and family as a happy man who enjoyed life. Police don't know much about his killing, except that he was shot in Watts during a gathering of people. Those who came to commemorate Hemphill described the persistent violence that shades their own lives. "This should not be a custom," the minister, Akela Wroten Jr., told the standing-room crowd. "We gotta protect one another." Vera Conner described her son, known as "Mike Mike," as a happy-go-lucky man who continued hanging out with boyhood friends in the Nickerson Garden Housing Development even after he moved away. Shortly after 11 p.m. on April 12, gunfire rang out at the gathering in the 1300 block of East 111th St. Hemphill and two others were wounded, police said. Hemphill died at a hospital. The two others survived. Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened. Conner said she would miss her son coming into the house at all hours of the night, messing up the dishes as he cooked up a meal. "He was just a pleasant person," she said. Hemphill loved his daughter, who was his right hand chef in the kitchen, especially when he'd make Chinese rice. "When he wasn't working, he'd hang out with her," Conner said. Wroten, 28, who grew up with Hemphill, has seen others his age fall victim to gun violence. "We're just tired of losing friends," he said. Kalease Patterson, 19 Kalease Patterson had to be on his way to work by 4:15 a.m. on most weekdays. The 19-year-old started as a contractor at an oil refinery but had been hired full-time because of his work ethic, relatives said. But Patterson wanted more. He was studying to be an electrician. He was asking his mother about home prices with hopes of becoming a property owner someday. He rarely took Saturdays off. But on Saturday March 10, Patterson had a friend in town from Baltimore and was showing him around the Watts area. A car pulled up alongside his near East 113th and Grape streets, and gunfire sprayed from inside, hitting Patterson. Patterson was always helping his relatives. When his grand-uncle threw out his back recently, Patterson drove him to errands and kept up the house. What pains his grandfather, Maurice Pinkney, is the loss of the man he was becoming. "He wanted to make a good living," he said. "He wanted to work hard." Patterson's mother, Makita Lewis, said her son dreamed of starting his own business building houses. "I never thought in a million years that this could happen to me," said Lewis, a senior chief in the Navy stationed in Japan. "I'm serving for my country and my child is gunned down while I'm stationed overseas. It changes the way I think about everything." Jamie Baker, 32 It was in Jamie Baker's nature to be helpful. So when she met Danny Jones, 49, at a family gathering last year and he told her he needed an in-home caretaker, she volunteered. Baker, a mother of two, traveled from Victorville to South L.A. for days at a time to care for Jones, a relative of her mother's. But in recent months, she became afraid, her mother said. Jamie told her family that Jones padlocked the doors and would hold her captive. He'd take her phone and change the password. "He had to be one to let her in and out of the house," said her mother, Lisa Baker. Lisa thinks that her daughter continued seeing Jones out of concern and because she wanted to trust him as family. But he was addicted to methamphetamines, she said, and tried to turn Jamie into an addict. Two days before she was killed, Jamie called her 15-year-old son. She told him she didn't know if she would make it home alive, but she loved him. On March 11, Baker called her mother and told her she wanted to come home. Concerned for Jamie's safety, Lisa Baker called the police multiple times over the course of the afternoon and evening. When police finally responded, they could raise no one inside the home in the 100 block of West 109th Street. A SWAT team later determined that Jones had barricaded himself inside and was armed. Early the next morning, police used a robot to enter the home and found Baker shot to death. In the attic, Danny Jones had turned the gun on himself. Lisa Baker is now raising her two grandsons. On prom night for one of the boys, Lisa thought about how much Jamie would have loved to be there. "Jamie was a really loving mom," Lisa Baker said. "She loved her boys."

The rising popularity of wearable devices and workers bringing them into the office could pose a major security threat to businesses this year, cybersecurity experts have warned. A number of companies, including Apple (AAPL) to LG, have launched smartwatches this year. It comes as wearable shipments are set to explode in 2015, hitting 75 million, up 158 percent from 2014, according to research from CCS Insight. As users increasingly don the latest gadgets to track fitness or answer calls, they will inevitably bring them into the office, opening a new hacking front for attackers. "As people get increasingly interested in wearables...these devices end up indirectly connected to corporate networks via BYOD (bring your own device) devices," Bogdan Botezatu, senior e-threat analyst at antivirus company Bitdefender, told CNBC by email. A Trend Micro survey of 800 senior IT decision-makers found that almost 80 percent of European organisations were seeing an increasing number of staff bring wearable devices in the workplace, and 77 percent were actively encouraging their use. But what are the specific threats to businesses from these seemingly innocent gadgets? Many of these devices will be connected to a phone that has users' work email, or other sensitive corporate information, on it. If the device is compromised, an attacker could potentially access this data. Consumers are also using wearables for fitness purposes, to track personal information such as location and heart rate. Security experts said this information is often sold on to a third party for purposes such as advertising, but this transfer could be unsafe. If the communication of this data is not encrypted, it could be intercepted. This would give hackers access to personal information such as email address, the name and even the location of a person. They could then use this information to construct an email that looks legitimate but contains a malicious link. If the user clicks on this link, it would potentially give an attacker an entry point into an organization's network. Raimund Genes, chief technology officer of Trend Micro, warned that device makers were not building enough security into their wearables. "You are more vulnerable if the attacker knows about you. The more data in the cloud linked with a personal profile, the more likely it is people can get the data and use it against you to craft an attack," he told CNBC at tech fair CeBit in Hanover, Germany.


Helping out paws; not handing out pills -- it is the philosophy Janine Oliver, DVM, owner and chief veterinarian of Benessere Animal Hospital in Greensboro. As North Carolina's opioid epidemic remains rampant, she finds her practice is saving not only animal lives but perhaps human lives, too. WFMY News 2's Meghann Mollerus sat down with Oliver for a candid discussion. "So when you were studying veterinary medicine, did you ever think you would be on the front lines of a human opioid epidemic?" Mollerus asked. "The only thing we were told is if you have a personal problem, there is a way to get help. We didn't talk about our effect on the human opioid problem," Oliver said. Yet, in the last five years, she has noticed an uptick in red flags from pet owners. "Sometimes, they'll come from another animal hospital. And, they'll say, my pet has anxiety, and the only drug that works for them is Drug X, and it's a controlled substance. Two, they (the patients) are running out of their prescriptions way faster than they should." The trend is why, as of June 1, all North Carolina veterinarians became subject to the North Carolina STOP Act . It became law in 2017, regulating the frequency of controlled substance scripts and who gets them. RELATED: NC STOP Act Signed Into Law To Fight Opioid Abuse "There was never a limit on what we could prescribe before," Oliver said. Nonetheless, she always has kept detailed logs. Now, under the new law, if she writes more than a three-day dose of opioids, she must note it on a new state data base that all veterinarians can access. It prevents so-called "shopping around." "It prevents them from saying, 'Thank you very much for the prescription,' then going to my colleagues at Battleground (Ave.) or downtown (Greensboro), and then they've got three prescriptions for the same problem, you know?" The problem is so concerning, Oliver keeps her supply of controlled substances under key, with a double-locked safe that is bolted to the ground. "If drugs go missing and the DEA comes and finds us, every mistake, every missing is a $50,000 fine," Oliver explained. Her two security cameras caught a former kennel employee, suspected of breaking into the practice five times to try to get drugs. "He loved the animals; I even went to his house to try to say, 'We want to help you,' and he just never responded," Oliver recalled. Oliver believes desperation drives desperate measures, when people's own physicians crack down. "I never have to search for my pain pill patients, because they will come and see me when they need a refill," explained family medicine practitioner Zoe Stallings, MD of Primary Care at Pomona. Physicians like Stallings were the first health professionals to use the STOP Act. In most cases, they no longer can prescribe more than a five- to seven-days of an opioid or narcotic. Refills require another consult. "We would explain to the patient there's a new law that says we have to really track what you're taking," Stallings said. So, is the STOP Act helping the problem? "It gives us a sense of accountability. It also allowed us to implement some technology," she said. The STOP Act digitized all prescriptions and consolidated the drug reporting database, cutting down on fraud but not demand, because opioids are so addicting. "It (an opioid) blocks the pain receptors, but it blocks them everywhere. You get that sense of euphoria and release, but it comes with a lot of side effects," Stallings explained. And, opioids don't discriminate. Oliver has lost loved ones to the epidemic. "I've had relatives that have been in crisis and fortunately, they have recovered. But, I also know a friend who didn't recover and died, and recovery is always a slippery slope," Oliver reflected. But, the new law is a start...toward stopping the problem. "Not just protecting our pets but other people's pets; protecting ourselves. It takes all of us putting a little effort into it and not just trying to Band-Aid it," Oliver emphasized. The solution? Prescribing prevention, not pills, to cure the future. RELATED: Be Part Of The Solution | WFMY News 2 Opioid Epidemic Town Hall Discussion Wednesday in High Point


Stocks are rallying back from the Trump-inspired weekend plunge. Here are three of the best stocks to buy for profits. It has been ages since bulls had to deal with any nasty plot twists. But one finally arrived over the weekend in the form of a tweet by President Trump threatening to increase tariffs on imported goods from China. The subsequent market turmoil has bears on a rampage, but there are still good stocks to buy. Today we'll look at three of the best. It may seem counterintuitive to shop for buys when the sky is falling, but are we not taught that profits flow from buying low? Well, prices for many stocks are a few percent lower than Friday. But you don't have to attempt a daring knife catch. Days like today reveal which stocks are really in demand. Some companies were aggressively sold at today's down open, but others were quickly bought. 10 Lithium Stocks to Buy Despite the Market's Irrationality It's this latter group that interests us the most. Let's take a closer look at three stocks to buy despite the turmoil. Apple (AAPL) Even after a quarter where Apple ( AAPL ) stock rallied some 21%, it was still able to gap higher to a fresh seven-month high on earnings last week. The recent strength made this morning's down open a critical test of whether the bid beneath the surface was still alive and well. As I write this, 90 minutes into the trading session, AAPL stock has rallied 2% off the lows to cut its day's losses in half. That kind of snapback is exactly what shareholders want to see as confirmation of relative strength. While we may need some backing and filling before the selling pressure ends, this dip should ultimately prove a buying opportunity. Mark today's high ($208.71). If we take it out over the coming days (or later today), then bull trades are worth a shot. Paypal (PYPL) The trend in Paypal ( PYPL ) this year has been one for the textbooks. Just look at how it has been respecting the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. Both have provided support on the way up. PYPL could be the poster child for a trend in motion remaining in motion. Last week's launch to a new record high reaffirmed buyers' dominance and reminded spectators that it's a stock worth buying into weakness. 10 Vice Stocks to Spice Up Your Portfolio Well, weakness has arrived and this morning buyers are on the move. I suggest you join them. Because implied volatility is low, bull call spreads are worth a shot. Buy the June $110/$115 bull call spread for $2.26. Workday (WDAY) Software stocks are flexing some serious muscle this morning. Workday ( WDAY ) is sporting a robust bullish candle, notching new intraday highs as I type. The overall trend for WDAY stock is bullish with its price rising atop ascending 20-day, 50-day and 200-day moving averages. This morning's down-gap was aggressively bought at the rising 20-day as well as an old resistance zone, which has now become new support. As long as WDAY remains above $195, the path of least resistance is higher; $220 is the next upside target. Buy the June $210/$220 bull call spread for $3.40. As of this writing, Tyler Craig didn't hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Boeing has struggled to manage its supply of 737 Max jets months after the fallout from two fatal crashes involving the planes in October and March. And now Boeing has had to crowd its employee parking lots with some undelivered planes, the local Seattle news station KING-TV reported . "We are using resources across the Boeing enterprise during the pause in 737 Max deliveries, including our facilities in Puget Sound, Boeing San Antonio, and at Moses Lake," the Boeing spokesperson Paul Bergman told Business Insider. "This is part of our inventory-management plan." Read more: An extensive new report suggests that the missing MH370's pilot was 'clinically depressed' and purposely killed all 239 on board Faulty software on the Boeing 737 Max has led to two fatal crashes, which together killed 346 people. The 737 Max was grounded worldwide after the March crash, leading Boeing to a first-quarter loss of $1 billion. The embattled plane maker is also shelling out quite a bit of money just to store those undelivered airplanes. Bloomberg reported that Boeing is spending some $2,000 a month to park each of them. The Bloomberg Intelligence analyst George Ferguson estimated that Boeing's inventory costs would surge to $12 billion by September. "They can't keep building and parking planes indefinitely," Ferguson told Bloomberg. "We don't think it will get to that, but it's going to take a lot of cash to park those in the desert."

Andrea Pirlo was less than impressed with Liverpool's Divock Origi after he came onto the field for Roberto Firmino in the Champions League final on Saturday, despite the Belgian sealing the win for the Reds with an 87th-minute strike. The 24-year-old, who was the hero in the semi-final crushing of Barcelona, started the final on the bench but got his chance to impress by coming on for an unfit Firmino in the 58th minute. In a game which lacked quality, AC Milan and Juventus legend Pirlo, who was working as a pundit for Sky Sports Italia, slammed the substitute for what he deemed to be poor performance in the final. As quoted by the Metro , Pirlo said: "Divock Origi was awful. "He came on in such an important game with that attitude. If he hadn't scored, they should've given him a kicking." Pirlo, who won the trophy twice with Milan, was annoyed at the forward's lack of work rate and quality on the ball. As a team, Liverpool were way below par and struggled all night with ball retention and pass accuracy, and Pirlo's disgruntlement at Orgi was echoed by former England manager Fabio Capello, who was working alongside the Italian. Origi is lucky he banged one in because his pass accuracy must have been 0% 藍   Alex (@King_Alejandro7) June 1, 2019 Liverpool only managed 35% possession on the night, however came away with a 2-0 victory and added a sixth European title to their trophy cabinet. Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has also claimed Jurgen Klopp has Alisson Becker to thank for his side's victory after Loris Karius was to blame for Liverpool's defeat in the final last season.


MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO)   Police are investigating a shooting that happened overnight in downtown Minneapolis that sent two men to the hospital. Officers were called at about 3 a.m. to the intersection of 10th Street and Marquette Avenue   near the Hilton Minneapolis hotel and WCCO-TV   on a report of multiple shots fire. They arrived to find no one at the scene, but discovered several shell casings. Police later learned of two men who showed up at Hennepin Healthcare hospital with gunshot wounds that are likely connected to the crime scene. Investigators say the men are not cooperating with law enforcement. The investigation is on-going.


It's been a tough decade for Inter. Since their famous treble win in 2010, they have picked up just one trophy and haven't lifted any silverware for eight seasons. Luciano Spalletti finally brought Champions League football back to the Giuseppe Meazza after a six-year absence, but this summer's arrival of serial winner Antonio Conte could lift Inter to the next level. For the first time since that treble-winning season, Inter possess the most talented coach in Serie A and look in a great position to compete with the very best. Here are 6 reasons why they will challenge for the Scudetto this coming campaign. 1. Antonio Conte As a manager, he's been a success everywhere that he's been. Before he revived Juventus he'd lead both Bari and Siena to promotion from Serie B. Prior to taking over at the Old Lady, a club he represented with distinction as a player, Juventus had been in the wilderness. Conte changed all of that and lead Juve to three consecutive Serie A titles. He continued this success in London where he won a Premier League title and an FA Cup with Chelsea after leading the Italian national team to a respectable (if trophyless) showing at Euro 2016. Inter now have the best coach in the league and his winning mentality, coupled with his tactical acumen will give them a huge boost going into this season. 2. No Icardi? No Problem Despite the ongoing saga with wantaway striker Mauro Icardi, Inter seem to have little problem replacing the Argentine. They've been heavily linked with Manchester United and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku who would add some real firepower to the front line. With negotiations over Lukaku ongoing, Inter also have their sights on Eintracht Frankfurt's Croation Ante Rebic, who could join in a reported €40m move. On top of this one of Icardi's potential suitors is thought to be Juventus. Should an agreement be reached with the champions, it's conceivable that it could be a player-plus-cash deal, with Juan Cuadrado or even Paulo Dybala heading the other way. 3. Refreshing The Midfield As part of the rebuild, it's thought that Conte will look to replace 31-year old midfielder Radja Nainggolan. His off-field problems aren't in keeping with Conte's disciplinarian approach and Cagliari's 22-year old Nicolo Barella is his main target to replace him. Already capped seven times by his country, Barella is hot property and it's thought that Inter will have to part with up to €50m to tempt him away from his beloved home town club. It looks like it could be money very well spent though. 4. A Solid Platform Away from players joining the club, it's important to remember who they already have. Inter's standout performers last season were in defence where 34-year-old goalkeeper Samir Handanovic had another excellent season. In front of him were the reliable duo of Milan Skriniar and Stefan de Vrij - one of Europe's best central defensive pairings. Keeping this solid unit together will be vital if they are to challenge Juventus and the rest. To borrow a phrase from the Americans, "offence wins matches, defence wins championships." 5. A New Dawn at Juve It's a time of change in Turin. Massimiliano Allegri departed after winning his fifth league title and Juve's unprecedented eighth in succession. Despite a comfortable Serie A campaign aided by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, all is not rosy at the Allianz Stadium. They were denied a shot at the Champions League trophy that they crave after a quarter-final defeat to Ajax. Hopes of another domestic double were ended when they lost to Atalanta at the quarter-final stage of the Coppa Italia. Former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri arrives with a good reputation in Italy, having run Juventus incredibly close in the title race when in charge of Napoli in 2017/18. However, with an ageing squad and the inevitable pinch that will come with a change of coach, it feels that this is Inter's best opportunity to interrupt their stranglehold on the Italian game. 6. Because No One Else Will Napoli were the best of the rest last season, still finishing 11 points behind Juventus. Despite possessing a talented squad and a highly respected coach in Carlo Ancelotti, it remains to be seen whether the Partenopei will have the resources to mount a serious challenge next time around. Meanwhile, AC Milan are yet to appoint their new manager following the departure of Gennaro Gattuso. Former Sampdoria boss Marco Giampaolo is expected to replace him, an appointment that will surely fail to inspire the Milan fans. There's also a huge rebuilding job to be done at Roma and whilst Gian Piero Gasperini has worked miracles at Atalanta a title challenge remains surely a step too far for the Bergamo club.

The price for a ticket to the Super Bowl can run as much as $5,000, and in some cases much more. The cost of a World Series ticket is closer to $ 2,000. For just the two-minute run of the Kentucky Derby, which will be run for the 145th time on Saturday, the ticket prices are particularly expensive. The most expensive tickets available the day before the race are $2,600. That gets someone a seat in a box near the finish line. The Winner's Circle Suites only hold 18 people, however, those suites have their own balconies, wagering machines, food catering and bars. At the lower end, attendees can still get in for much less to attend the oldest continuously held sporting event in America. The Kentucky Derby draws about 150,000 fans to the Churchill Downs Racetrack each year. Really cheap seats are on sale for under $200. That buys someone a seat at the far end of the track, well away from the famous grandstand where the owners and their friends have lavish parties and enjoy what horse-racing fans consider "the most exciting two minutes in sports." And these are the fastest horses in the race's history . Attendees can come through the gates as early as 8 a.m. on Saturday morning. The race isn't run until 6:50 p.m., which gives people hours to party or look back at the most iconic horses to race in the Kentucky Derby . ALSO READ: 50 Fastest Horses in Kentucky Derby History

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler is in a bind. A growing number of Democratic committee members are pushing Nadler to take more aggressive steps to force President Donald Trump and top administration officials to comply with a host of congressional subpoenas. Some lawmakers even want Congress to dust off its little-used authority to fine or even jail witnesses, something that the House hasn't done in more than 80 years and is ill prepared to execute. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team worry that such moves, while pleasing to a party base that loathes the president, would backfire and boost Trump politically. Caught in the middle is Nadler, a 71-year-old Democrat who has long been a thorn in Trump's side. Anything he does will displease some key constituency   either at home in his New York City district, in his committee room in the Rayburn House Office Building, or in the Capitol's leadership suites. The new push inside the Judiciary Committee to use its "inherent contempt" power against Trump administration officials underscores the larger challenge facing House Democrats in responding to the president's decision blanket stonewalling. While Pelosi and her lieutenants have all but ruled out impeaching Trump   despite incessant calls to do so from party activists and some lawmakers   the White House keeps upping the stakes by refusing to the comply with House probes into Trump's finances and personal conduct. That leaves Democrats with few tools to respond effectively short of taking Trump to court, a risky and time-consuming process that could take months or years to resolve. Yet doing nothing also isn't an option for Democrats, who don't want to look feckless in the face of Trump's defiance. "[Trump] certainly is the best argument for impeachment there is. This is the most impeachable president in the history of the United States of America. But that still leaves us a whole bunch of questions about what to do and when to do it," said Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the Judiciary and Oversight panels. The Maryland Democrat said even as Democrats may go to the courts first, lawmakers are deeply interested in the prospect of inherent contempt. "People want to know what the precedents are, and people want to know the full extent of our power," Raskin said. "We know how to arrest people around here. And if we need to arrest someone, the [House] sergeant at arms will know how to do it. I'm not afraid of that. If they can arrest my constituents, we can arrest someone else who's disobeying the law." "You can't jump from nothing to everything. We have to go through a legal process," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), another hard-line Trump critic "Once that [contempt] vote happens on the floor, then we also have inherent authority that is at our disposal. We have a number of steps we're looking at that we can take. People feel like we're progressing at the appropriate pace." Nadler has largely trained his energy on criticizing the Trump administration and has floated tougher punishment for resistance to the committee's oversight efforts. "In the coming days, I expect that Congress will have no choice but to confront the behavior of this lawless administration," Nadler said last week. "The committee will also take a hard look at the officials who are enabling this cover up." This past Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over an unredacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller's report. No House floor vote has been scheduled yet, but even Democrats know the move is more symbolic than substantive. A civil contempt resolution is likely to be approved in the coming weeks, meaning the House can sue Barr and the Justice Department. But that isn't enough for many Democrats. They want to go much further. Some lawmakers tell POLITICO that the growing push for a more aggressive posture is being driven by the committee's younger members, many of whom are new to the skirmishes and polarizing fights that have long divided the Judiciary panel. The Judiciary Committee has long been one of the most partisan in Congress because leadership tends to steer vulnerable   and typically more moderate   members away from the committee. That leaves the panel stacked with members less willing to compromise or shy away from a battle with the president of either party. "Nothing is off the table. It can't be off the table. We have to look at all of the options to do our job and protect the Constitution and to make sure the government is functioning the way it should be," said Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.). Scanlon acknowledges that it would be extraordinary for Congress to detain or fine a witness who refuses to testify, but says the conflict is being driven by the White House's refusal to comply with subpoenas. "There's a reason why we don't do it, but there's a reason why we haven't had to even talk about it, " Scanlon added. "Because we've had administrations that have negotiated in good faith and tried to work for the good of the American people rather than the good of a particular incumbent." Scanlon, like several other Judiciary Democrats, noted there "have been conversations" inside the panel about whether to initiate impeachment proceedings, a move that would strengthen the committee's legal position in dealing with the White House. The committee also includes presidential candidate Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who has called for the impeachment of Barr but stopped short of calling for Trump's immediate impeachment. "We're restraining ourselves from doing 'Donald Trump Justice.' 'Donald Trump justice' is you just reach a conclusion and then let the facts catch up. We're trying to show a contrast to that which is orderly process, which is frustrating in that it doesn't happen as fast as you want," Swalwell said in a recent interview. "We've got one shot to get it right, you've got one record to create for the courts. You want to show you gave them every chance to comply. It's frustrating, but that's law and order." Yet there are also Democrats who might not favor the bellicose rhetoric coming from the committee. Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) hails from a district that typically leans Republican and joined the panel in part to lead its efforts on gun control. Reps. Lou Correa (D-Pa.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas), a former Houston municipal judge, have also been described by lawmakers as potential moderating forces on the panel.. "It's very simple for myself as a member of Judiciary   what I am looking at is oversight and full disclosure, access to all the documentation on the Mueller report, the Mueller report unredacted as well as the underlying information. That's the first step," Correa said. "I know the administration has signaled it's going to fight us. That's probably what we expected. We hope there's a change in tone, but at this point, we're going to have to go the courts and show the courts we're being reasonable as members of Congress." Correa wouldn't commit to asserting inherent contempt authority, much less impeachment. "Let's not get ahead of the facts. We're not there yet," Correa said. Lofgren   who briefly challenged Nadler for the top Democratic spot on the committee after former Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) resigned 18 months ago   rejected the idea that impeachment proceedings were necessary. And she praised Nadler's handling of the dispute with Trump and the Justice Department over the Mueller report. "I do think we're proceeding in an orderly way   or trying to   to exercise our oversight responsibilities. Then we'll see where we are," Lofgren said. "I think we're committed to doing our job and then we'll see where we are." The panel also includes two members of leadership: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who is viewed as loath to go faster than Pelosi prefers, and Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), who says impeachment is more palatable each day but that the committee isn't ready to go there yet.


Another list ranking one of the most important skill groups in football has been revealed and the Philadelphia Eagles again, sit atop as one of the NFL's best. On Tuesday, Pro Football Focus revealed the NFL's top run-stopping defenses, and the Eagles landed in the top-10. On Wednesday, Pro Football Focus revealed the top pass rush units in the NFL, and the Birds came in at No. 1 on the list, ahead of the vaunted Jaguars front seven. 1. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Death. Taxes. And the Eagles' pass-rush. What defensive lineman wouldn't want to come to Philadelphia and have every single pocket for them collapsed by Fletcher Cox? If Aaron Donald didn't exist, we'd be talking about Cox in similar air. Cox's 95 pressures last season were the most by any defensive tackle not named Donald we've ever charted. Graham is one of only four edge rushers in the NFL to have tallied 50 total quarterback pressures since 2014, according to Pro Football Focus . The others are Von Miller, Khalil Mack, and Ryan Kerrigan. Brandon Graham has also recorded a pressure on 16-percent of his career pass-rushers, third-best in the NFL since 2006. The Eagles will attack offenses in waves, shuttling in Vinny Curry Barnett, Malik Jackson and Josh Sweat to form a formidable front.

The high-performance versions of the front-wheel drive Escort are becoming ever more valuable. Here's how to secure a good one. How much to pay • Project £500-1200 • Good £1350-5000 • Concours £5500-8000 Overview Practicality ★★★★★ Running costs ★★★★ Spares ★★★ DIY friendly ★★★ Investment ★★★ Desirability ★★★ Ever since Ford's launch of the first Escort in January 1968, Ford UK has produced performance-enhanced versions of its evergreen family car for the budding rally driver behind every sensible family man. Therefore, when Erika   as the Escort Mk3 was codenamed   went on sale in October 1980, it was inevitable that a go-fast model would be a part of the line-up. Within a year of the XR3 arriving more than 11,000 had been bought, accounting for over 10 percent of Escort sales. To ensure the success continued, the XR3 was handed to Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering division; the XR3i was the direct result. See More: Austin-Healey 3000 Buying Guide Jaguar XK8/XKR Buying Guide However, before the XR3i was introduced, we also got the RS1600i. With 115bhp, it enjoyed a better power-to-weight ratio than the XR3i, while the suspension featured adjustable tie-bars and an uprated front anti-roll bar. The resultant car wasn't as composed on the road as an XR3i, but on the track it was a different story. Built to satisfy Group A regulations, initially just 5000 were planned   but the final tally was 8659, 2608 of which were sold in the UK. Your Motorious Ford Escort Mk3 XR3, XR3i and RS1600i inspection checklist Engine The 1596cc overhead-cam four-cylinder CVH engine will rack up 100,000 miles between rebuilds; check for oil being burned on the over-run, thanks to worn valve guides. Head gaskets are a weak spot, so look for signs of white emulsion on the filler cap. Replacement XR3 and XR3i engines are plentiful, but the RS1600i's cylinder head is unique, and long obsolete. Ford recommends changing the cambelt every 36,000 miles or three years. If the car you're looking at hasn't had a replacement, there's a good chance the belt will let go   wrecking the engine in the process. It's worth fitting a new belt as a matter of course. Fuel-injected engines are fitted with a metering unit that tends to seize, leading to the engine being over-fuelled or running lean. Distributors seem incapable of lasting more than 50,000 miles, and RS1600is have a twin-coil ignition system fitted. The coils are prone to failure (replacements are scarce), so check the car isn't misfiring, running on two cylinders or refusing to start altogether. Gearbox All performance Escort Mk3s have a manual five-speed gearbox   except pre-February 1982 XR3s, which got a four-ratio transmission. Expect 100,000 miles between rebuilds. The gearchange was never very sweet, but if it's particularly baulky a rebuild is due; the RS1600i's fifth-gear mechanicals are unobtainable, as they weren't fitted to any other car. Change linkages and bushes will probably be worn, but replacement is easy and cheap. Converting a four-speed car to five ratios isn't as easy as you might think. Because of different engine mounts to relocate the powerplant (the gearboxes are different sizes), you'll end up having all sorts of problems getting the ancillaries to fit. The most likely source of problems will be from the clutch, which is often abused. The cable stretches, but they don't generally snap. The clutch itself will probably be worn; if the car isn't abused it should give 50,000 miles of service, but only half this if driven hard. All the clutches are interchangeable across the different cars, but it's common to install an RS Turbo unit as it's the strongest that will fit. The parts are easy to source and simple to fit. Suspension and brakes The steering rack's ball joints can break on hard-driven cars, but they're cheap to replace. More likely are tired suspension bushes front and rear, all of which can be replaced with polyurethane items. There are three on each rear wishbone, along with the ones in the tie bars and anti-roll bars at the rear. The dampers also have bushes fitted top and bottom. Rear dampers leak but replacements are available   except for the RS1600i. The units for these are bespoke and unobtainable, yet they were made by Koni so it's possible to have them rebuilt. The wheel bearings wear quickly, especially if wide wheels have been fitted, but they're not expensive or tricky to replace. Look for cracks near the track-control arm, which develop if the front wheels are kerbed. Each model featured a different type of wheel design, most of which were alloys. Many have since been swapped for aftermarket items, and sourcing originals can now be tricky. Ventilated discs were fitted at the front and drums at the rear   the discs will probably be ready for replacement. A common swap is to fit XR4i or RS Turbo series 2 brakes, which will go straight on. The only other likely brake malady is with the master cylinder, which leaks. Check for signs of fluid escaping. Bodywork Crash damage is common, so check the front inner wings for signs of rippling, and the boot floor, too. Look for overspray on the window rubbers, and see how well the panels line up. Expect plenty of rust, too. The wheelarches dissolve, particularly the rears, and the sills rot badly as there are drain channels leading into them. The drain holes within these block up, and they then rot from the inside out. Also expect corrosion in the door bottoms, the corners of the boot and the front valance. The outer front wings are laid on top of the inners, allowing water to collect between the two with predictable results. The bulkhead rots behind the heater and the battery tray, and on RS1600i models the brake servo is mounted against the panel work, promoting rot. Other cars used a bracket to keep the unit away from the bodyshell. Window seals (especially the windscreen) leak, leading to rotten floorpans, while corrosion is common in the tailgate around the rear wiper arm mounting. Sunroof leaks are common, too. The bodykit can hide a multitude of problems, and can cause them as well. Vibrations between the mouldings and panels cause the paint to be rubbed away   the same problem afflicts the rear bumper, which has a plastic moulding along its length. Once water has crept into the joint, it's only a matter of time before rust starts. Interior The cabin trim lasts pretty well, but a lot of these cars have been butchered over the years, and replacing damaged trim panels or seats with original parts isn't easy. Many trim panels and parcel shelves have had holes cut in them for speakers, while tired seat trim is common. The latter can usually be revived, though. Look for cracks in the plastic dashboard surround, and holes in the convertible's fabric roof. The latter can be replaced easily   but the former can't, as there aren't enough good parts to go round. The powered windows (including the switches) are prone to issues, and the electrics can fail altogether. The culprit is a pair of relays that control the power supply, and these live behind the dash. They're accessed by removing the speaker grille that sits on the dash top   and replacements are scarce. The ECU can fail. This controls the fuel supply on injected cars, so when it throws a wobbly it will either make the engine run lean or over-fuel the motor and let it run on when the ignition is switched off. Replacements are available (not for the RS1600i), but if necessary the car's existing unit can be rebuilt. History 1980: Escort XR3 arrives in three-door hatchback form, with a 1.6-litre engine. 1982: XR3i replaces the XR3 in October; the RS1600i is launched in November. 1984: XR3i cabriolet goes on sale. 1986: Mk4 supersedes the Mk3. Motorious says… Some performance Escort Mk3s have become very valuable. If you want a mint, low-mileage car that's completely original, you'll now pay plenty for it. Buy a more average example, though, and values are much more palatable   or at least they should be. Many buyers are overly optimistic, so do shop around before committing. If buying a project, poor parts supply means you shouldn't take on an RS1600i too readily. Restoring an XR3 or XR3i is a more realistic prospect, but if significant work is needed you might struggle to get your money back. Don't get carried away and take on a mammoth project too lightly. You don't have to settle for a hatchback if you want a hot Escort Mk3, as Karmann also built 60,000 cabriolets. Not all were powered by an injected engine, yet many were. A lot haven't aged well, but if you can find one it's the perfect car for those looking for cheap, open-topped fun.


Paris Saint Germain are thought to be 'determined' to sign Chelsea star N'Golo Kante this summer. The French giants are desperate to end their wait for a Champions League trophy and see the 28-year-old as the perfect addition in their quest to go all the way in Europe. Chelsea would be loathe to lose one of their most important players however, particularly as they currently have a two-window transfer ban, and would demand a huge fee for the midfielder who signed a new five-year contract with the club in November 2018. The Daily Mirror have reported that PSG will press on in their attempts to land the France international regardless, having shelved plans to bring in Everton 's Idrissa Gueye who they tried to sign in January. Despite Kante being on a reported £290,000 a week, it has been claimed the Ligue 1 champions would be willing to increase his wages in a bid to lure him to the French capital. Since joining Leicester City from Caen as a virtual unknown in the summer of 2015, Kante has enjoyed a remarkable rise, winning two Premier League titles as well as the World Cup with France and PSG are keen to add his experience to their squad. If Les Parisiens are unable to complete a deal for the Chelsea man then they are set to turn their attention to Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure. The Hornets star has four years left to run on his current deal at Vicarage Road but has expressed a desire to play Champions League football and PSG have the money to make Watford an offer for the player they would find very difficult to refuse.


The agent of Mainz defender Jean-Philippe Gbamin has claimed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp made a personal phone call to his old club last year in a failed attempt to secure the centre-back's signature. Gbamin, who joined the German outfit from Lens for €5m in 2016, made 33 appearances in all competitions for the club last year, collecting two goals and an assist as they finished 12th in the Bundesliga. Though Die Nullfunfer had an unspectacular season, the centre-back was outstanding at the back, receiving plenty of praise for his performances. As a result of his splendid showings last campaign, Gbamin's representative - Bernard Collignon - believes it would take a bid of approximately £54m to convince Mainz to sell, a figure that has greatly increased since Klopp called up his former employers in January 2018. However, the ex- Borussia Dortmund coach failed to land his man, instead forking out £75m for Virgil van Dijk. Discussing the phone call, Collignon told Fussball Transfers (as quoted by the Daily Star ): "Klopp called Mainz and wanted to commit him as a centre-back, who also helps out in midfield. "But, Mainz did not want to let him go in the middle of a relegation battle. In the summer, Liverpool signed on to Fabinho." Collignon went on to reveal that the Reds were not the only top-level side monitoring his client, as several other  Premier League clubs showed an interested in Gbamin. "I had meetings with Liverpool, Tottenham , Arsenal , Everton and many other clubs," he continued. "He is on [their] shortlists. However, not as a top candidate, because his exact position is unclear. "It's time for him to play as a centre-back. There he would be a top player in all four major leagues and would make a great career," Collignon concluded.


Milwaukee Bucks restricted free agent Malcolm Brogdon has agreed to a deal with the Indiana Pacers, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports. Sources: Restricted free agent Malcolm Brogdon has agreed to a deal with Indiana.   Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 30, 2019 ESPN's Adrian Wojnawrowski reports that the deal is for four years and $85 million and that the Pacers are sending the Bucks a first-round and two second-round picks to the Bucks in return for Brogdon. Brogdon is the second player the Bucks have lost from the roster that produced the NBA's best regular-season record last season after Nikola Mirotic left Milwaukee and the NBA to join Euroleague club Barcelona . The Bucks reportedly retained All-Star guard Khris Middleton on a 5-year, $178 million deal and center Brook Lopez on a four-year, $52 million deal. While they retained those key pieces around league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brogdon proved a luxury they salary cap would not allow the Bucks to afford. Brogdon, the 2017 Rookie of the Year, averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists last season, his third in the NBA. In the process, he shot 50.5 percent from the field, 42.6 percent from 3-point distance and 92.8 percent from the free throw line, joining the NBA's elusive 50/40/90 club.


R-Motorsport Aston Martin driver Paul di Resta insists he did nothing wrong at the start of the opening DTM race at Brands Hatch after being handed a jump-start penalty. After qualifying a strong fourth in mixed conditions at the Kent venue , ex-Formula 1 driver leapt into the lead as the pack entered Paddock Hill Bend for the first time. However, the Scot was soon under investigation for his getaway, and in the end was handed a five-second pitstop penalty, which he served when he pitted on lap 16 of 42. Di Resta was on course for a points finish before his Vantage DTM suffered a loss of power in the closing stages, and post-race he was adamant his start was not illegal. "They need to look at the past and what was acceptable and not acceptable," di Resta told Motorsport.com. "I think the reality is everyone else around me got a bad start. "Have a look at the past 15 years. If they throw that out, then every single start of every single person in the last 15 years should be thrown out." Despite the penalty, di Resta was nonetheless satisfied to be able to lead the R-Motorsport squad's first laps since the start of its DTM project. "It was good, we had decent pace," he said. "We were flattered by the changeable conditions in qualifying, got ourselves in a good position. Nice to lead the first laps here with Aston Martin and until that point the race was going well. "We had another technical issue in the background which we discovered at the end of the race, which is why we lacked a bit of performance, but it's all the result of a two-day event. There's no time to see those things, we just go straight into qualifying." Polesitter , who went on to win the race for BMW by just 0.3 seconds ahead of Audi's Rene Rast , said he was pleased to see Aston Martin fighting its more established rival brands at its home race. "I have to say, for DTM, I felt happy that Aston Martin was leading a race," said Wittmann. "They did well, we were slightly quicker but he [di Resta] kept the lead. "They already showed they have improved their performance, they were quite up in front despite the tricky conditions in qualifying, so they are coming closer step-by-step. At the end I think it was good for DTM to see."


Uber is going to great heights to get around New York City rush hour traffic. The rideshare company launched its Uber Copter service on Tuesday, offering rides from lower Manhattan to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on weekday afternoons -- for its Platinum and Diamond Uber Rewards members. "We're excited to announce the first step toward building the future of urban air mobility and transforming urban aviation: Uber Copter," the company said in a press release . "Uber Copter is our first aerial ridesharing option." To hail a helicopter, riders must be in a designated zone, in which "Copter" appears as an option within the app. Chopper rides to JFK can be booked up to five days in advance. On the way home, you book the rides after your flight lands. Currently the chopper service is only available on iOS, so Android users are out of luck. During a test run of Uber Copter during the late afternoon on Wednesday, an ABC Producer found two differently-priced options to JFK from the designated zone. From Balthazar, a restaurant in SoHo, to JFK the trip was priced at $216.57. From Brookfield Place near the World Trade Center, the trip to JFK came out to $253.51. The helicopter flights are operated by HeliFlite, a direct air carrier the Silicon Valley company has partnered with. HeliFlite has earned ARGUS Platinum and Wyvern Wingman safety ratings, according to the Uber press release. The company also said it was implementing a Safety Management System (SMS) for all future Uber Air services including Uber Copter, using data to analyze trends and hazard reporting.
