After narrowly missing out on the 2018/19 Bundesliga title to (who else but) Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund will have to set aside their frustrations and settle the staying and goings of their squad during the summer transfer window. With a number of their star players already the subject of significant interest from top clubs across Europe, it may prove to be an uphill battle to keep some of their top performers from departing the Westfalenstadion. However if they recruit well in the transfer window it might not be long before Dortmund start bossing the Bundesliga again like they did almost a decade ago. With another year of Champions League football on the table for Lucien Favre's exciting squad, the focus could also be on challenging for some European silverware - a prospect that in the 2018/19 season was deflated by Tottenham during the round of 16. As Dortmund look to bounce back from what was ultimately another trophy-less season in the German top division, thinning up some of the squad - paired with some quality recruitment - may be the answer to their recent lack of glory. Let's take a look at what should happen. Goalkeepers Roman Burki - KEEP - A Bundesliga veteran, the Swiss shot-stopper appeared 32 times for the club in the 2018/19 season and made some vital saves during both their domestic and European campaigns. Marwin Hitz - KEEP - Despite being 31 years old and probably never going to start over Burki (sorry Marwin) - the Swiss is a reliable, seasoned Bundesliga mind to have in the camp who can step up if needed. Eric Oelschlagel - KEEP & LOAN - Only 23 years old, the German goalkeeper needs some gametime after not making an appearance during the 2018/19 season. It could be wise to give him some experience elsewhere for now. Full Backs Achraf Hakimi - KEEP - The Real Madrid loanee has been impressive during the first of his two-season loan spell at the German club. Although it's safe to say Los Blancos will want him back immediately after his loan, Dortmund should use the Moroccan 20-year-old while they can. Lukasz Piszczek - KEEP- An influential figure in the squad, Piszczek has been at the heart of the Dortmund defence for many a year. Although he only made 20 appearances in the 2018/19 Bundesliga season, the 33-year-old looks set to see out his career with the club. Marcel Schmelzer - SELL - The left-back role was sporadically filled by Dortmund players last season with Schmelzer only making nine appearances in his natural position. Paired with the arrival of Nico Schulz , it may be time for the fans to bid farewell to the passionate German. Raphael Guerreiro - KEEP - Although the Portuguese international started life as a winger, he has adapted to the role of left-back and centre-midfield maturely during his time with Dortmund. He could keep his shirt for the 2019/20 season if the speculation surrounding his future cooled. Centre Backs Manuel Akanji - KEEP - Appearing 25 times for Dortmund in the 2018/19 season, Akanji demonstrated why he has so much potential to have an excellent career with the club. His involvement could be crucial to Dortmund's defensive success next season. Abdou Diallo - KEEP - The French defender had an excellent season at centre-back and has earned plenty of praise from fans and critics alike. Despite struggling with muscular problems throughout last season, he also adapted to roles such as left-back when needed. Great Business from @BVB . Getting the cheaper deals yet again. Diallo Akanji are now been followed up by Hazard Schulz and soon could be brand too. Amazing Business from the German outfit!    Fuad Khatib (@_FuadKhatib_) May 22, 2019 Dan-Axel Zagadou - KEEP - The 19-year-old has looked impressive with performances this season, scoring twice in only 17 appearances for Dortmund. An exciting prospect indeed... Leonardo Balerdi - KEEP & LOAN - Despite this defence being so young and generous with its opportunities, because Balerdi's only 20 years old it could benefit him to be loaned out before he jumps straight into his career with Dortmund. Omer Toprak - SELL - If they keep hold of their other defenders the Turkish centre-back could perhaps have a brighter future away from BVB. Frequently injured during the 2018/19 season, the 29-year-old barely played and it seems it might be time for him to make a move. Julian Weigl - KEEP - A useful player who typically appears in central midfield, the 23-year-old has a promising, defensive mindset which should be held on to as long as possible. With speculation surrounding his future however, who knows where he'll be come September. Central Midfielders Axel Witsel - KEEP - Witsel seems to have found his home at Dortmund and the Belgian appeared 33 times in the Bundesliga last season, proving instrumental to his side's success on many occasions. He's really good, keep him! Thomas Delaney - KEEP - Again, another example of what a good midfielder can bring to a side. The Dane was awesome for BVB and provided three goals and six assists in their 2018/19 Bundesliga campaign. Mahmoud Dahoud - KEEP & LOAN - Since he didn't have the most impressive time of it last season, the German could be looking for more game time if he isn't to take a starting spot in central midfield. While he's only 23 years old, it might be worth giving him some gametime elsewhere (especially if Julian Weigl wants his central midfield shirt back). Attacking Midfielders & Wingers  Marco Reus - KEEP - A key feature of Dortmund's attack over the years, Reus scored an impressive 17 goals and earned himself 11 assists for his club in the 2018/19 season. Legend. Mario Gotze - KEEP - The World Cup winner got his head down and improved his form last season and will surely be in Favre's plans as his side look to challenge Bayern Munich for the title next season. Jadon Sancho - KEEP - An English youngster who is getting game time in a highly competitive league, what could be better for the lad? Having been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, it will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. Jadon Sancho led all Bundesliga players with 113 completed dribbles, 42 more than the second highest total...License to Thrill 女 pic.twitter.com/a76y0mIGM2   Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) May 20, 2019 Sergio Gomez - KEEP - The Spaniard only joined in January from Barcelona B team and will be eager to earn himself a place in the starting XI next season. Jacob Bruun Larsen - SELL- The winger appeared 24 times for Dortmund last season but only managed to get himself two goals. With the expected arrival of other wingers during the window, he may just be left sat on the bench next season. Marius Wolf - SELL - With both Thorgan Hazard and Julian Brandt signing for Dortmund, the German's best option may be to leave the club unless he picks up his form. Forwards Paco Alcacer - KEEP - The Spaniard scored a whopping 18 goals in 26 league appearances for Dortmund and is looking to be a worthwhile investment in the long term. Though he failed to make the starting XI regularly, his ability to score off the bench makes him worth keeping. Maximilian Philipp - LOAN - Phillip is a decent player however he has not scored enough to warrant a place in the starting XI. Admittedly he doesn't get heaps of game time, however with the arrival of Hazard and co. this trend could continue...

Real Madrid have confirmed that Toni Kroos has committed his future to the club after agreeing a new contract with the club that promises to keep him at the Bernabeu until June 2023. It is 12-month extension for Kroos, a three-time Champions League winner with Real, after his previous deal had been due to run until the summer of 2022. Comunicado Oficial: renovación de Toni Kroos. #RealMadrid | #HalaMadrid https://t.co/ohPQrtL0EV   Real Madrid C.F.⚽ (@realmadrid) May 20, 2019 The German international will be 33 years of age by the time the contract expires and will take him through to the end of a ninth season in Madrid after joining the club from Bayern Munich in 2014. Already a UEFA Champions League winner with Bayern as part of a historic treble in 2013, Kroos formed a crucial part of the Real side that dominated Europe with three successive continental titles in 2016, 2017 and 2018. He has just come to the end of a disappointing fifth season with the club, but his place with Los Blancos has been secured for the next few years to come. The contract extension will remove any doubt that Kroos could be part of a summer overhaul in the Spanish capital, with returning coach Zinedine Zidane expected to oversee a number of comings and goings before the start of the 2019/20 campaign. Gareth Bale and Luka Modric are two veterans who could depart the club this summer.


WASHINGTON, June 13 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia agrees with the United States that Iran was behind the suspected attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir said on Thursday. "We have no reason to disagree with the secretary of state. We agree with him," Jubeir told CNN. "Iran has a history of doing this." (Reporting by Eric Beech and Tim Ahmann)

The Falcons signed undrafted free agent Tony Brooks-James after a tryout during the team's rookie minicamp. The team announced the addition of the Oregon running back, opening a roster spot by waiving running back Jeremy Langford with an injury designation. Brooks-James had 283 carries for 1,863 yards and 18 touchdowns in his four-year career. He also caught 40 passes for 392 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Outside of his offensive duties, Brooks-James returned 44 kicks for a 23.8 yards per return average and a score. Langford joined the Falcons' practice squad late last season, and he was later promoted to the active roster. He appeared in Atlanta's season finale against the Buccaneers.

With pre-season well underway, just one international competition left standing in AFCON and such indignities as the International Champions Cup and the Audi Cup to look forward to, this is well and truly transfer rumour season. To be fair, transfer season is all-year-round at this point, but this is peak linkage. The links are flying here, there and everywhere....but especially here. Look below! Valencia Prodigy Lee Issues Transfer Request Amid Real Madrid & Ajax Interest South Korean prodigy Kang-in Lee has told Valencia he wants to leave, six months after the Spanish side slapped an €80m release clause (a club record) in his contract. Lee, who was last seen shining for South Korea at the Under-20 World Cup - winning the Golden Ball for his exploits - has been courted by La Liga sides Granada, Osasuna, Levante and Espanyol, as per Super Deporte . Now, obviously, none of those sides have €80m in the coffers (the day they do, is the day I hang my fingertips up, you have my word), which is why the Korean, and his family, have asked the Valencians to at least considering accepting some lower offers. Fat. Chance. Fortunately, the 18-year-old has also garnered more moneyed admirers in Real Madrid and Ajax, but as of yet no formal offers have been made, and Valencia remain adamant their star will not leave for anything less than silly money. Dortmund Interest in Moise Kean Is 'True' Here's a word that doesn't get bounded about in transfer rumour circles much: True. But, it's the word German publication Kicker have used to describe the rumours surrounding Borussia Dortmund's interest in Juventus forward Moise Kean. The Germans are essentially confirming reports issued by Gazzetta dello Sport, in what would be a 'typical' BVB transfer, thanks to Kean's young age, brimming potential and raw skill. Well, if it's a 'typical' move, it's obviously true and definitely going to happen. That's the rule. Rafael Leao 'Set to Quit Lille' Following Bids from Napoli, Everton & Valencia 20-year-old Lille forward Rafael Leao is set to leave the club this summer, amid various bids from Valencia, Everton and Napoli, as well as a suspected offer from Aston Villa. According to L'Equipe , as relayed by Get French Football News , the clubs have bid €35m plus €5m in bonuses (Val), €37.5m (Ev) and €32.5m + a 10% sell-on fee percentage clause (Nap) respectively, while the Villans' mooted offer is currently unknown. Hang on, I'm just getting word from Gazzetta dello Sport , via Sempreinter , that, yes, Inter are interested as well, provided they fail in their drawn-out effort to sign Romelu Lukaku . Of course. Spurs Eye Marseille's Hiroki Sakai as Kieran Trippier Replacement Kieran Trippier is an Atletico Madrid player. Never forget. Because of this, Tottenham need a successor, and they've duly set their scopes on Marseille full back Hiroki Sakai as their number one target. According to Sky Sports , the 29-year-old is the preferred replacement for the famous free-kick scoring Englishman, though some naive doubters have questioned whether Mauricio Pochettino would really opt to splash the cash on a 29-year-old when he already has young Kyle Walker-Peters and Juan Foyth on the books. Hah! Such logic has no place around here, lads. Kindly take it elsewhere. West Ham Make Joao Palhinha Enquiry Here's Joao Palhinha, captured mid 'GET RID'. No wonder West Ham want to sign him. According to Record , the Hammers have registered their interest in signing the Sporting CP loanee, who is, as you can see, a highly effective defensive midfielder. However, issues do arise, because Palhinha is currently on loan at Braga until the end of the 2019/20 season, and Sporting's club president has previously said Braga have 'preference if the player receives a proposal'. Right. Keep plugging away, Irons. Seems like you're on to a winner. Leicester, West Ham & Everton Chase €35m-rated Morgan Sanson Premier League duo Leicester and Everton are chasing Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson, who is valued at around €35m by the French outfit. According to our friends L'Equipe, as relayed by the lads and lasses at the Leicester Mercury , the Foxes have 'shown an interest' in the 24-year-old, and they're joined by today's Transfer Rumours' MVP candidates West Ham and Everton. Thing is, apparently the English clubs aren't too charmed by that €35m evaluation. You don't say? All due respect, but in the grand scheme of things, who the hell is Morgan Sanson!?!??!?


Ion Cutelaba came into his UFC on ESPN+ 8 main-card bout vs. Glover Teixeira with a hotheaded reputation and a knack for coming out fast in fights. But Teixeira is one of the saltiest old dogs in the game, and he knew to stay patient when his light heavyweight opponent came out strong Saturday night. Teixeira survived a strong start by his opponent, then roared back in the second round for an impressive victory. A rear-naked choke submission got the job done at the 3:37 mark of the second round. "I take my time, because I knew he was going to bring the heat in the first round," Teixeira said. "And I'd get him in the second or third." Cutelaba (14-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) indeed got off to a quick start, appearing to be faster and stronger than his 39-year old foe. He connected on a spinning backfist, nearly hit Teixeira with what would have been an illegal knee if it landed, then started scoring offense from top position. But just when it looked like the end might be near, Teixeira (29-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC) bulled his way back to his feet and cleared his head. While Cutelaba won the opening round, you could sense the tide was turning. And Teixeira started turning up the heat in the second, landing over and over with punishing right hands while his opponent faded. Teixeira simply threw his tiring foe to the mat, then wasted little time getting into top position for the winning choke. WHAT A FINISH by @GloverTeixeira ! #UFCFtLauderdale on ESPN+ pic.twitter.com/EtuZCdfc3S - UFC (@ufc) April 28, 2019 The light heavyweight bout was part of the main card of the UFC on ESPN+ 8 event at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. It streamed on ESPN+ following prelims on ESPN and ESPN2. With the victory, Teixeira now has won two straight and three of his past four. It was his 10th finish in the UFC, which ties Jon Jones for the modern-era UFC light heavyweight record. Cutelaba's second career loss via finish snapped a two-fight win streak. Up-to-the-minute UFC on ESPN+ 8 results include: Glover Teixeira def. Ion Cutelaba via submission (rear-naked choke) Round 2, 3:37 Corey Sandhagen def.

This 2011 Cadillac was once a record breaking machine on the Nurburgring in stock form, now it has an additional 181 horsepower to contend with. The CTS was Cadillac's answer to the European sedans like BMW's 5 Series or Mercedes' E-Class. Like both rivals, Cadillac cooked up a performance orientated one with a supercharger, and it looks something like this, the CTS-V. This particular car, offered by Adrenalin Motors , is a second generation model having been built in 2011 and has a 6.2 liter V8 nestled under that muscular looking hood. The same engine, in fact, as the then recently unveiled ZR1 Corvette, the LS9. From the factory these bits of kit spat out 556 horsepower thanks to that roaring LSA Eaton blower. It even broke a Nurburgring lap record in 2010, so it's pretty damn quick. More Cadillac Content: This 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Restomod Is A Showstopper This Stylish Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Is A 1950s Classic Although it's rivals have four doors, this one is the coupe and it certainly suits it. Perhaps more intriguing is the magic that has occurred under the hood. This is not ordinary CTS-V. If the record breaking car with 556 horsepower seemed a tad tame to you, perhaps an additional 181 horsepower may do the trick? With 738 horsepower, this is sure to be an absolute weapon on both street and track, for this is a Davenport supercharged version. A carbon fibre air intake takes care of breathing abilities, whilst some exceptionally attractive 20inch HRE performance rims give it a stance the factory simply couldn't provide. Although unstated, a performance exhaust assists breathing further, albeit in a tasteful fashion to allow daily use. Naturally being a modern car, swathes of technology await inside, with multiple suspension settings for every possible scenario, along with all the suede and leather that a Cadillac deserves. With 17,902 kilometres on the odometer (translating to just 11,123 miles) we are uncertain of the CTS-V's origins, but rest assured that it's in near new condition having barely breached the five figure milestone in the last eight years. For more information on this CTS-V, visit the Motorious classifieds .


These incredible photos of planets, moons, and the sun will make you feel very small. Some of the most astronomical views of the galaxy, compliments of NASA. Pluto's True Colors Captured through the lens of a Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC), Pluto gives off an array of eerie natural colors. The MVIC's ability to capture "true colors" the human eye would recognize is simply ... out of this world. Mars on Ice A fascinating look at the seasonal dry ice caps seen on Mars. In the spring and summer these ice caps will disappear from the planet's surface. Jupiter Outbound An otherworldly view of Jupiter's southern hemisphere, captured by NASA's Juno spacecraft. The Rings of Saturn Undoubtedly the most recognizable planet in our solar system, Saturn's rings remain both a thing of beauty and a mystery. What's even more fascinating? The rings are made mostly of particles of water-ice that range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to as large as mountains. Jupiter's Not-So-Red Spot Pictured here is Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot-you can see traces of it in the center left portion of the image. The beautiful atmospheric swirls are an added bonus. Dust Storm on Mars Springtime on Mars created a dust storm, but as we can see here, it has evolved into a global event, covering the entire planet. The storm was photographed by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Saturn's So Close Not really. But the photographer angled the camera toward Saturn, giving us this alluring effect. Rose-Colored Swirls on Jupiter This view of Jupiter features a storm in motion on the northern hemisphere of the planetary giant. Aerial Views of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Kamchatka The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite caught a stunning moment of plumes rising from two volcanoes, Shiveluch and Klyuchevskaya, located on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, that are 80 kilometers apart. A Very Blue Neptune This sharp rendering of the planet Neptune was captured during the testing of the Narrow-Field adaptive optics mode of the MUSE/GALACSI instrument on ESO's VLT Telescope. Nectaris Montes Sand Dunes Sand dunes on the slopes of Nectaris Montes seem to resemble some earthly scenery. But these stunning dunes can be found within Coprates Chasma-a massive canyon on Mars. Nocturnal Earth This view may be a familiar one, but that doesn't make it less breathtaking. The view is compiled from over 400 satellite images. Earth, 94 Million Miles Away This "far away from home" view is from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope. Earth's reflection as it slipped past the Kepler's view was so bright it created a saber-like saturation bleed across the instrument's sensors. Views of Mars The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquires a global view of the infamous Red Planet and its weather patterns every day. This ethereal snapshot is from between May 14 and May 20, 2018. Ceres' Occator Crater The dwarf planet Ceres isn't without its charms. Pictured here is the Occator crater's northern wall, obtained by NASA's Dawn spacecraft from an impressive altitude of about 21 miles. Eruption on Io Jupiter has its fair share of moons - 79, in fact. Pictured here is Jupiter's third largest moon, Io, experiencing some volcanic activity. There are over 400 volcanoes on this moon, making it the most geologically active in the solar system. The Rays of Hokusai on Mercury The impact crater, Hokusai, is an impressive sight to see; with a network of rays that extend more than 600 miles across the planet Mercury. Tethys Disappears Behind Titan The Cassini spacecraft captured Saturn's moon, Tethys, being cosmically overshadowed by Saturn's largest moon, Titan. For size reference, Titan is larger than Mercury. Planetary Roll Call In a spectacular earth-based view, we see Mars, Saturn, Vesta and Jupiter towering over Lone Rock in Skull Valley, Utah. Saturn and Her Moons The Cassini spacecraft took this stunning capture at a distance of approximately 1 million miles from Saturn. If you look closely you can see Dione (front right) and Enceladus (back right) as well as the ice giant, Tethys, which appears as a bright sphere left of the center of the image. A Spectrum on Mercury While Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system, there is still much to be explored. Produced using images from a color base map imaging campaign, this dazzling photo was captured during the MESSENGER's primary mission. Venus With a View It's apt that Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Here we see Venus' northern hemisphere beaming brightly. Solar Outburst No, the sun isn't a planet, but that doesn't make our star any less fascinating.

The number of crime incidents in Milwaukee declined last month, after a previous rise, according to data from SpotCrime , which collects data from police agencies and validated sources. Incidents fell by about 8%, from 17,919 in May to 16,491 in June. Despite last month's decrease, 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 a year-over-year comparison most relevant. Assault and theft reports declined the most from the previous month. Assault fell from 3,623 reported incidents in May to 3,244 in June, but has risen by 629 incidents since June of last year. Theft incidents went from 1,857 to 1,651 for the month, or about an 11% decrease. Theft reports are also slightly down from a year ago. While somewhat smaller categories, there was also a notable percentage decrease last month in vandalism, from 817 incidents per month to 708, and in burglary, from 948 to 837. Vandalism reports have increased considerably since the same month last year, while burglary incidents have declined. Among the few types of offenses that saw an uptick last month, shooting reports went from 1,227 to 1,334. Shooting incidents have seen an overall downward trend since the same time last year. Looking at crime patterns in different areas of the city, Lincoln Village, Silver Spring and Lincoln Creek saw the largest decline from May to June. Maple Tree, Washington Heights and Walnut Hill also had considerable percentage decreases in 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 Clarke Square, and declined the most in Borchert Field. Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays saw the most crime incidents last month. The largest decrease from the previous month occurred on Fridays, Thursdays and Wednesdays, while incidents on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Sundays went up. Comparing times of day, late night, after midnight and late afternoon had the most crime last month on average each day. To report a crime in progress or life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Entering 2019 the Houston Texans are in a strange position. Typically, the reigning division champions are widely regarded as favorites to repeat the following year, especially when they have as many stars as the Texans do. However, this is not the case. The widely agreed-upon consensus is that the Indianapolis Colts will win the South and the Texans could finish anywhere from second to bottom. This comes after an offseason in which there were many changes to both their secondary and offensive line, their two more precarious units last season. While this may throw doubts in the minds of many, it is safe to say that Bill O'Brien is keen to use last season as a motivator, while also looking forward. "I would say every year's different, every team's different," O'Brien told NFL Network's James Palmer . "We have a lot of new players on our team this year that weren't on that team. Obviously, the players that were here, you don't forget how that year went, there were a lot of good things, starting off the way we did and then winning nine in a row, and then obviously not ending it the way we wanted to end." After an 0-3 start to the 2018 campaign, Houston went on a winning streak that resulted in them winning the South with an 11-5 record, just one win above the second-placed Colts. This may have been O'Brien's most successful campaign to date, but their capitulation to the Colts in the wildcard round is something they must both learn from and let go of. "But, at the end of the day you've got to move on to 2019 and I think this teams done a really good job of that so we are really focused on this year, just trying to be really as good as we can every day," said O'Brien. Houston has kicked off training camp with a new-look secondary, including the likes of former Denver Bronco Bradley Roby and former Jacksonville Jaguar Tashaun Gipson, and an offensive line that now features veteran tackle Matt Kalil and rookies Tytus Howard and Max Scharping.

In many of the world's poorest countries on this list, economic development has been hampered by political instability and violence. Political instability and violence is often to blame for poverty The United States is among the wealthiest countries in the world. However, this level of economic development is not the norm in much of the world, and neither is the standard of living the typical American enjoys. The material wealth of the United States has been generated through a complex, diversified economy, developed over centuries. The U.S. gross national income (GNI) per capita is $55,351. Meanwhile, there are more than half a billion people spread across dozens of countries worldwide where per capita GNI is about $2,000 or less. Reviewing GNI per capita in 192 countries from the World Bank s World Development Indicators Database , 24/7 Wall St. identified the poorest countries in the world. GNI captures all economic activity within a nation s borders in addition to the wealth created by nationally-owned entities operating in other countries. Unlike wealthier countries like the United States, many of the world s poorest countries have only recently gained independence from their former colonial rulers in Europe. In many of the world s poorest countries on this list, economic development has been hampered by political instability and violence. While many countries on this list have stabilized and have reported steady economic growth in recent years, others remain unstable and dangerous and are among the 14 countries the U.S. government doesn t want you to visit . Other barriers to prosperity include a lack of critical infrastructure, like a reliable power grid. Public sector corruption, which can discourage investment and stifle growth, is also a common problem. Several of the countries on this list also rank among the most corrupt countries in the world. Click ahead to see the poorest countries in the world. More on MSN: The richest countries in the world 25. Benin > GNI per capita: $2,055 > 2017 GDP: $23.1 billion > Population: 11.2 million > Life expectancy at birth: 61.2 years Benin, a West African country of about 11.2 million people, is one of only 25 countries in the world with a GNI per capita below $2,100. About half of the population lives on less than $1.90 a day, and over three-quarters live on $3.20 or less a day. As is the case in many poor countries, health outcomes in Benin lag behind much of the world. Life expectancy at birth in the country is just 61 years, about 11 years shy of the global average. The low life expectancy is partially the result of a high infant mortality rate. There are 98 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births per year in Benin, compared to 39 per 1,000 globally. 24. Guinea > GNI per capita: $2,031 > 2017 GDP: $26.0 billion > Population: 12.7 million > Life expectancy at birth: 60.6 years Despite a wealth of valuable minerals like diamonds, gold, and aluminum ore, Guinea ranks as one of the poorest countries in the world. Only about a third of residents have access to electricity, and the country's 32% literacy rate is among the lowest in the world. Like many poor countries, Guinea has a largely agrarian economy, with farming accounting for about two-thirds of total employment. Like many countries on this list, Guinea has had a history of political instability that hampered economic development. In recent years, after a coup and military rule for two years, Guinea became civilian ruled again in 2010, only to succumb to a wave of political violence. In 2014, the country was also ravaged by the Ebola outbreak. ALSO READ: Countries With the Widest Gaps Between Rich and Poor 23. Zimbabwe > GNI per capita: $1,990 > 2017 GDP: $36.6 billion > Population: 16.5 million > Life expectancy at birth: 61.7 years A former British territory, Zimbabwe has been an independent nation for less than 40 years. Zimbabwe is one of only 23 countries with a GNI per capita below $2,000. Low-income countries typically rely heavily on agriculture, and in Zimbabwe, farming accounts for 67% of total employment. Economic development is hampered by infrastructure limitations -- just 38.1% of citizens have access to electricity. The younger generation in Zimbabwe may be better equipped to foster prosperity in the coming decades as the country's leaders are investing in education. Zimbabwe spends the equivalent of 7.5% of its GDP on education, far more than the 4.8% average across all countries with available data. 22. Mali > GNI per capita: $1,953 > 2017 GDP: $37.4 billion > Population: 18.5 million > Life expectancy at birth: 58.5 years Like many of the poorest countries in the world, Mali's population is growing rapidly. The West African country's annual population growth rate of 3.0% is faster than all but a handful of other countries worldwide. The country is also lacking in basic infrastructure. Just 35.1% of Mali citizens have access to electricity. It would take an average of 120 days to bring electricity to those in the country without it, compared to a global average of about 86 days. The effects of the hardships associated with poverty are evident in the country's health outcomes. Life expectancy at birth in Mail is just 58.5 years, one of the lowest of any country in the world.

Rwanda > GNI per capita: $1,814 > 2017 GDP: $22.7 billion > Population: 12.2 million > Life expectancy at birth: 67.5 years Rwanda is a landlocked country in east-central Africa. Its economic development has been hampered by one of the worst genocides in history. In the mid-1990s, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed in less than 100 days for their ethnicity. Though the country has made a comeback in recent years through coffee and tea production, it ranks among the poorest countries in the world, with a GNI per capita of just $1,814. Nearly 80% of Rwandans live on less than $3.20 a day, and over half live on less than $1.90. 20. Chad > GNI per capita: $1,750 > 2017 GDP: $26.3 billion > Population: 14.9 million > Life expectancy at birth: 53.2 years Despite a wealth of valuable resources like gold and oil, Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world. Tensions between Muslims in the north and Christians in the south have been a drag on development. Government corruption is also hurting economic development and discouraging investment. Based on over a dozen surveys on perceptions of corruption in the public sector, Transparency International ranks Chad among the most corrupt countries in the world. Chad's social and economic challenges have serious consequences for its citizens. Life expectancy in the landlocked country in north-central Africa is just 53.2 years, nearly the lowest of any country in the world. ALSO READ: Countries Spending the Most on War 19. Ethiopia > GNI per capita: $1,719 > 2017 GDP: $181.6 billion > Population: 105.0 million > Life expectancy at birth: 65.9 years Ethiopia is Africa's oldest independent nation, and having never been colonized, it has not faced the challenges that come with new-found independence that many other countries on this list faced. However, droughts and civil conflict in the early '90s have hurt development, and infrastructure in the country is lacking. Less than half of the population has access to electricity, and there are only about 38 cell-phone subscriptions per 100 people. Broadband and landline telephone subscriptions are even more rare. More than one in every four Ehtiopians live on less than $1.90 a day, and 62% live on $3.20 or less a day. 18. Haiti > GNI per capita: $1,664 > 2017 GDP: $18.2 billion > Population: 11.0 million > Life expectancy at birth: 63.6 years Located on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, Haiti is one of only a few countries on this list that is not in Africa. Though the country gained independence from France in the 19th century, it remained in its former colonial ruler's debt until 1947, paying compensation to former French slave owners. In recent decades, the country has been slammed by natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes and has also suffered from political instability. Like many poor countries, Haiti is heavily dependent on farming, with agriculture accounting for about half of total employment. The effects of poverty on the Haitian population are blatant as about 46% of the population is malnourished, and the average life expectancy in the country is just 63.6 years.

Uganda > GNI per capita: $1,658 > 2017 GDP: $72.8 billion > Population: 42.9 million > Life expectancy at birth: 60.2 years Gaining independence from Great Britain in 1962, Uganda fell under the tyrannical rule of Idi Amin from 1971 to 1979. During that period, the country's economy nearly collapsed following the expulsion of all Asian people at the direction of Amin. Additionally, an estimated 300,000 Ugandans were killed under Amin's regime. In recent decades, the landlocked African nation has been roiled by a military coup and rebellions headed by the Lord's Resistance Army. Today, broad-scale economic development in Uganda is hamstrung in part by infrastructure limitations. Only about a quarter of the country has access to electricity, and while there are over 58 cell-phone subscriptions per 100 people in the country, fixed telephone lines and broadband are virtually non-existent. 16. Afghanistan > GNI per capita: $1,647 > 2017 GDP: $63.8 billion > Population: 35.5 million > Life expectancy at birth: 64.1 years With chronic warfare, meaningful economic development in Afghanistan has been effectively impossible in recent decades. Invaded by the Soviets in 1979, the ensuing war lasted a decade and claimed over a million lives. Following Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. military has maintained a presence in the country, and, though NATO ended its combat mission in Afghanistan in 2014, insurgent forces continue to threaten the country's stability. Today, the standing government in the landlocked South-Central Asian country ranks among the most corrupt in the world. The country is heavily dependent on foreign aid, and citizens regularly suffer from shortages of clean water and electricity. ALSO READ: 28 Most Polluted Cities in the World 15. Burkina Faso > GNI per capita: $1,640 > 2017 GDP: $32.6 billion > Population: 19.2 million > Life expectancy at birth: 60.8 years Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa, and despite significant gold reserves, it is one of the poorest countries in both the region and the world. Over the nearly 60 years since gaining independence from France, the country has endured regular political upheaval and violence -- conditions under which meaningful development is all but impossible. Currently, over three-quarters of citizens live on less than $3.20 a day. Several social and infrastructure obstacles stand in the way of economic development today. For example, only about a third of adults in Burkina Faso are literate, and fewer than 20% of residents have access to electricity. 14. Togo > GNI per capita: $1,586 > 2017 GDP: $11.8 billion > Population: 7.8 million > Life expectancy at birth: 60.5 years Weathering bouts of political instability since gaining independence from France in 1960, the West African nation of Togo has stabilized in recent years. The country's economy growth of 4.4% in 2017 was faster than the 3.2% global average growth, and Togo's government has invested heavily in infrastructure that will help attract investment and encourage development. Still, the country remains among the poorest in the world today. About half of the urban population lives in slums, and nearly half of Togo's total population lives on less than $1.90 a day. Life expectancy in the country is just 60.5 years, nearly 12 years below the global average. ALSO READ: Countries with the Fastest-Growing Populations 13. Guinea-Bissau > GNI per capita: $1,552 > 2017 GDP: $2.9 billion > Population: 1.9 million > Life expectancy at birth: 57.8 years The West African nation of Guinea-Bissau is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Weak public sector institutions have given way to drug trafficking and illegal logging. The legal part of the country's economy is largely agricultural as over two-thirds of total employment is in farming. Cashews are the country's main export, accounting for about 80% of total export value in 2017. Today, only about 15% of the population has access to electricity, and 26% are malnourished. Guinea-Bissau is one of only a handful of countries worldwide where average life expectancy at birth is under 60 years. 12. Eritrea > GNI per capita: $1,497 > 2017 GDP: $6.8 billion > Population: 4.5 million > Life expectancy at birth: 65.5 years One of the youngest countries in the world, Eritrea won independence from neighboring Ethiopia in 1993. The country is highly militarized due in part to more than a decade-long war with Ethiopia that ended in 2018. In addition to war, the country's severe drought has hampered economic development, as agriculture accounts for about 63% of employment. Eritrea drew up a democratic constitution in 1997 but never implemented it. Today, the single-party state ranks among the most corrupt in the world. Less than half of Eritrea's population has access to electricity, and there are only about 14 cell-phone subscriptions per 100 people. Fixed telephone lines and broadband subscriptions are even more rare. ALSO READ: Countries With the Widest Gaps Between Rich and Poor 11. Solomon Islands > GNI per capita: $1,494 > 2017 GDP: $1.3 billion > Population: 611,343 million > Life expectancy at birth: 71.0 years An island nation in the South Pacific, the Solomon Islands is one of only a few countries on this list not located in Africa. Civil unrest brought the country to the brink of collapse in the late 1990s and early 2000s. A multinational peacekeeping group led by Australia remained in the country from 2003 to 2017 and brokered a peace deal between rival islands within the nation. The county's economy is largely agricultural, with farming accounting for 61% of employment. Like many other poor countries, less than half of the population of the Solomon Islands has access to electricity. 10. The Gambia > GNI per capita: $1,471 > 2017 GDP: $3.2 billion > Population: 2.1 million > Life expectancy at birth: 61.4 years Compared to most countries on this list -- and most countries in West Africa -- The Gambia is relatively stable socially and politically. Still, it ranks among the poorest countries in the world with a GNI per capita of less than $1,500. The Gambia has limited natural resources and relies heavily on agriculture, with wood, brazil nuts, and cashews accounting for 80% of its exports in 2017. Less than half of The Gambia's population has access to electricity, and over a third of the country's urban population lives in slums.

Sierra Leone > GNI per capita: $1,348 > 2017 GDP: $10.5 billion > Population: 7.6 million > Life expectancy at birth: 52.2 years Sierra Leone is a resource-rich country in West Africa. It endured a devastating civil war that was fueled by diamonds and valuable minerals trade. Though the war ended in 2002, it destroyed many of the country's institutions, and the effects are still being felt. Today, Sierra Leone's public sector is perceived to be more corrupt than most other countries. The problems associated with the lack of economic development are evident. About a quarter of the country's population is undernourished, and Sierra Leone's maternal mortality rate of 1,360 deaths per 100,000 live births is the worst in the world. The country was also among the hardest hit by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, and at 52.2 years, average life expectancy at birth in Sierra Leone is the worst in the world. 8. Madagascar > GNI per capita: $1,339 > 2017 GDP: $36.2 billion > Population: 25.6 million > Life expectancy at birth: 66.3 years Madagascar is an island nation located in the Indian Ocean east of the African continent. The former French colony has been independent since 1960, grappling with political violence and coups in the last several decades. While the county has a substantial tourism industry, it is heavily dependent on agriculture, with farming accounting for more than two-thirds of total employment. Living conditions for many in the country demonstrate the hardships associated with poverty. Over 77% of the country's urban population lives in slums, and about 43% of residents are undernourished. Life expectancy at birth in Madagascar is just 66.3 years, about six years shy of the global average. ALSO READ: Countries Spending the Most on War 7. Mozambique > GNI per capita: $1,100 > 2017 GDP: $33.7 billion > Population: 29.7 million > Life expectancy at birth: 58.9 years A former Portuguese colony, Mozambique, a country on the Indian Ocean in southern Africa, became an independent nation in 1975. Like many former colonial territories, Mozambique struggled in its early years of independence, enduring a civil war that lasted from 1976 to 1992. Though the country's economy got a boost in 2011 with the discovery of natural gas, development is still lagging due in part to the over decade-and-a-half of civil war. A staggering 62.4% of the population lives on $1.90 or less a day, and nearly 82% live on $3.20 a day. The country is also dealing with a public health crisis, as 12.5% of the population between the ages of 15 and 49 are HIV positive. Partially as a result, life expectancy in the country is less than 60 years. 6. Liberia > GNI per capita: $1,078 > 2017 GDP: $5.5 billion > Population: 4.7 million > Life expectancy at birth: 63.0 years Founded partly by freed U.S. slaves, Liberia's economy was all but destroyed in the 1990s and early 2000s by a civil war that left a quarter of a million dead and thousands more displaced. Limited economic development in the country has lead to a low standard of living. Less than 20% of the population has access to electricity, and about 39% are undernourished. The government, which ranks among the most corrupt in the world, spends relatively little on education as a share of GDP, and illiteracy is widespread. The West African nation is resource rich, however, and gold exports are driving growth. In 2017, gold accounted for 19% of the country's $1.0 billion in exports.

Malawi > GNI per capita: $1,064 > 2017 GDP: $20.4 billion > Population: 18.6 million > Life expectancy at birth: 63.7 years Malawi is an East African nation that shares a border with Mozambique, another country on this list. One of the poorest countries in the world, a staggering 70.3% of the population lives on less than $1.90 a day. Poorer countries are typically heavily dependent on agriculture and subsistence farming, and in Malawi, farming accounts for 71.9% of total employment. Like other countries in the region, Malawi is struggling to contain the spread of HIV. Currently, about one in every 10 residents between the ages of 15 and 49 are HIV positive, and, according to the BBC, more than a million children living in the country have been orphaned by the disease. 4. Niger > GNI per capita: $906 > 2017 GDP: $19.9 billion > Population: 21.5 million > Life expectancy at birth: 60.4 years Niger is one of only four countries with a GNI per capita of less than $1,000. Since gaining independence from France in 1960, Niger has been marred by coups and political instability. As one of the least developed nations in the world, just 16% of the population has access to electricity. Over 80% of Niger's population lives in rural areas, and of those who live in urban areas, the vast majority live in slums. Poverty is widespread in the country as more than three in every four residents live on less than $3.20 a day. Niger is a resource-rich nation, however, and oil exploration and gold mining are driving economic growth. Niger's economy grew at a relatively rapid 4.9% pace in 2017.

Democratic Republic of the Congo > GNI per capita: $796 > 2017 GDP: $65.7 billion > Population: 81.3 million > Life expectancy at birth: 60.0 years The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country rich in resources like valuable minerals, like copper, diamonds, and gold. Rather than being an economic boon, however, control over these resources has helped fuel a civil war that lead to as many as 6 million deaths. Basic infrastructure is lacking in the country as only about 17% of the population has access to electricity, and there are no fixed telephone lines. This, in addition to rampant public sector corruption, makes conducting business in the country difficult. As in many poor countries, health outcomes are lagging in the DR Congo. The country has one of the world's highest infant mortality rates, and the average life expectancy is just 60 years. 2. Burundi > GNI per capita: $686 > 2017 GDP: $7.3 billion > Population: 10.9 million > Life expectancy at birth: 57.9 years With a GNI per capita of just $686, Burundi is the second poorest country in both Africa and the world. The country's modern history has been stained by a brutal 12-year civil war sparked in 1994 by ethnic tensions between the Tutsi minority and the Hutu majority. Today, Burundi's public sector ranks among the most corrupt in the world. Burundi is also one of the least developed countries in the world. Over 87% of the population lives in rural areas, and fewer than 10% of people in the country have access to electricity. Though nearly all pregnant women in the country receive prenatal medical care, the country's maternal mortality rate of 712 deaths per 100,000 live births is among the highest in the world.

Despite a wealth of resources like gold, diamonds, and oil, violence has hindered economic development since the country gained independence from France in 1960. After a string of coups in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, religious violence between the Muslim minority and Christian majority has plagued the nation since 2012. Slightly more than half of the CAR population lives in rural areas, but of those who live in cities, more than 90% live in slums.

There are countless stats that illustrate Brooks Koepka's dominance in golf's major championships over the past year. Obviously, his finishes (A win, two runner-ups, and a T-4 most recently at the Open Championship) are impressive enough, but other numbers put his historic run in even more staggering context. Still, Brooks had one person (jokingly) bring him down on Tuesday night: His dad.

MILWAUKEE   Authorities have charged a man with second-degree murder after he called a Milwaukee television news station and discussed details of a cold case involving a Milwaukee seventh-grade girl whose body was found more than 30 years ago. Prosecutors say Jose Ferreira is responsible for the death of 13-year-old Carrie Ann Jopek, who went missing in 1982. The case resurfaced last week when WISN 12 News reported that Ferreira called its newsroom and discussed the case. "His story was very detailed   disturbingly so," Chris Gegg, the station's news director, said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Sunday. Gegg didn't elaborate about those details, but said the station called police because of "several red flags." Ferreira was later arrested in the case , which had long been dormant. "It's been 33 years since she's been gone," the girl's mother, Carolyn Tousignant, said after Ferreira was taken into custody. "I've been praying for this day." Jopek disappeared after she was suspended from school for roaming the halls. Tousignant said her daughter got kicked out on purpose so she could go to a house party. Tousignant said the school called and gave her the option of picking the girl up from the office, but she chose not to because they lived only a block away. It's a decision she has come to live with. "I blame myself sometimes," the girl's mother said. "She would've snuck over there anyway." Tousignant started searching the neighborhood when she realized her daughter was missing, and even went to the home where her body was later found. The case went quiet until someone repairing an old deck came across the girl's body 17 months after her disappearance. "She spent two of her birthdays underneath that porch," Tousignant said. Ferreira was a teenager when Jopek died. He is now 50 years old, and it's not clear why he chose to call the TV station. He appeared in court Saturday, Milwaukee police spokesman Tim Gauerke confirmed via email. Ferreira's attorney, Melissa Nepomiachi, didn't return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment Sunday. Ferreira remains in custody in Milwaukee County Jail. "I never put it out of my mind," said Tousignant. "Every time I watch 'Cold Case'" or some other detective show, I would hope and pray one of these days we get the person who did that to Carrie." "I miss her," she added, "so much."

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which suggests that gravity is due to the curvature of space and time, is more than 100 years old. And it's holding up as researchers analyze the behavior of gravity in space -- but it may not last forever, according to a new study. The 1915 theory was tested when University of California, Los Angeles astronomy and physics professor Andrea Ghez and her team measured gravity near the black hole at the center of our home galaxy, the Milky Way. Their study was published Thursday in the journal Science. "Einstein's right, at least for now," said Ghez, a co-lead author of the study, in a statement. "We can absolutely rule out Newton's law of gravity. Our observations are consistent with Einstein's theory of general relativity. However, his theory is definitely showing vulnerability. It cannot fully explain gravity inside a black hole, and at some point we will need to move beyond Einstein's theory to a more comprehensive theory of gravity that explains what a black hole is." But at the moment, the theory is the best description of how gravity works, Ghez said. Her team was one of only two in the world to observe the complete 16-year orbit of a star called S0-2 around the supermassive black hole at the galactic center. Their observations spanned three dimensions. The star made its closest approach to the black hole in April, May and September 2018, moving at 16 million miles per hour. Spectral data spanning wavelengths of light provided insight about the star's composition, which was combined with measurements the team had gathered over the past 24 years. The spectral data was collected by a spectrograph built at the university and collected at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii. This allowed the researchers to determine precise measurements of the star's motion as one dimension and combine those with images and observations of the star taken at Keck. "What's so special about S0-2 is we have its complete orbit in three dimensions," Ghez said. "That's what gives us the entry ticket into the tests of general relativity. We asked how gravity behaves near a supermassive black hole and whether Einstein's theory is telling us the full story. Seeing stars go through their complete orbit provides the first opportunity to test fundamental physics using the motions of these stars." The researchers were able to see how space and time commingled near the black hole, she said. "In Newton's version of gravity, space and time are separate, and do not co-mingle; under Einstein, they get completely co-mingled near a black hole," she said in the statement. Richard Green, director of the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, noted that "Making a measurement of such fundamental importance has required years of patient observing, enabled by state-of-the-art technology. Through their rigorous efforts, Ghez and her collaborators have produced a high-significance validation of Einstein's idea about strong gravity." Because of its distance from the black hole, the star doesn't get pulled into it. The team tracked particles of light called photons that traveled from the star to Earth over 26,000 years. It took years of planning for Ghez and her team to be ready to make the measurements of the photons. "For us, it's visceral, it's now -- but it actually happened 26,000 years ago," she said. Ghez studies more than 3,000 stars that orbit the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Going forward, she wants to test more of the stars near the black hole, including S0-102, which has a short orbit of 11½ years. Most of the other stars have an orbit that exceeds the average human lifespan. "We're learning how gravity works. It's one of four fundamental forces and the one we have tested the least," she said. "There are many regions where we just haven't asked, how does gravity work here? It's easy to be overconfident and there are many ways to misinterpret the data, many ways that small errors can accumulate into significant mistakes, which is why we did not rush our analysis."


ATLANTA (AP)   The only woman on Georgia's death row was executed early Wednesday morning, making her the first woman executed in the state in seven decades. Kelly Renee Gissendaner was pronounced dead by injection of pentobarbital Wednesday at 12:21 a.m. at the state prison in Jackson. She was convicted of murder in the February 1997 slaying of her husband after she conspired with her lover, who stabbed Douglas Gissendaner to death. Gissendaner, 47, sobbed as she said she loved her children and apologized to Douglas Gissendaner's family, saying she hopes they can find some peace and happiness. She also addressed her lawyer, Susan Casey, who was among the witnesses. "I just want to say God bless you all and I love you, Susan. You let my kids know I went out singing 'Amazing Grace,'" Gissendaner said. Prison Warden Bruce Chatman left the execution chamber at 12:11 a.m. Records from previous executions indicate that the lethal drug is administered within about a minute of the warden leaving the room. Gissendaner sang "Amazing Grace" and also appeared to sing another song before taking several deep breaths and then becoming still. More than 100 people gathered in rainy conditions outside the prison to support Gissendaner. Among them was Rev. Della Bacote, who said she is a chaplain at Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville and who spent several hours with Gissendaner on Tuesday afternoon, talking and praying. "She was at peace with whatever was to come," Bacote said. Gissendaner's three children visited with her Monday but weren't able to see her Tuesday because they were testifying before the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, Bacote said. The parole board is the only entity authorized to commute a death sentence in Georgia. "Kelly embraced that the children were going to talk to the Board of Pardons and Paroles," Bacote said, adding that Gissendaner was able to speak to her children by phone Tuesday. Two of Gissendaner's three children had previously addressed the board and also put out a video earlier this month pleading for their mother's life and talking about their own difficult path to forgiveness. Her oldest son had not previously addressed the board. Various courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court denied multiple last-ditch efforts to stop her execution Tuesday, and the parole board stood by its February decision to deny clemency. The board didn't give a reason for the denial, but said it had carefully considered her request for reconsideration. Gissendaner was previously scheduled for execution Feb. 25, but that was delayed because of a threat of winter weather. Her execution was reset for March 2, but corrections officials postponed that execution "out of an abundance of caution" because the execution drug appeared "cloudy." Pope Francis' diplomatic representative in the U.S., Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, on Tuesday sent a letter to the parole board on behalf of the pontiff asking for a commutation of Gissendaner's sentence "to one that would better express both justice and mercy." He cited an address the pope made to a joint session of Congress last week in which he called for the abolition of the death penalty. Gissendaner's lawyers also submitted a statement from former Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Norman Fletcher to the parole board. Fletcher argued Gissendaner's death sentence was not proportionate to her role in the crime. Her lover, Gregory Owen, who did the killing, is serving a life prison sentence and will become eligible for parole in 2022. He also noted that Georgia hadn't executed a person who didn't actually carry out a killing since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Gissendaner's lawyers also said she was a seriously damaged woman who has undergone a spiritual transformation in prison and has been a model prisoner who has shown remorse and provided hope to other inmates in their personal struggles. They gave the parole board testimonials from several women who were locked up as teens and who said Gissendaner counseled them through moments when they felt scared, lost or on the verge of giving up hope. Douglas Gissendaner's family said in a statement Monday that he is the victim and that Kelly Gissendaner received an appropriate sentence. "As the murderer, she's been given more rights and opportunity over the last 18 years than she ever afforded to Doug who, again, is the victim here," the statement says. "She had no mercy, gave him no rights, no choices, nor the opportunity to live his life." Kelly Gissendaner repeatedly pushed Owen in late 1996 to kill her husband rather than just divorcing him as Owen suggested, prosecutors have said. Acting on her instructions, Owen ambushed Douglas Gissendaner at Gissendaner's home, forced him to drive to a remote area and stabbed him multiple times, prosecutors said. Investigators looking into the killing zeroed in on Owen once they learned of his affair with Kelly Gissendaner. He initially denied involvement but eventually confessed and implicated Kelly Gissendaner.

BALTIMORE, MD   Four Baltimore students have been named winners of the 2019 National Merit $2,500 Scholarship. The merit scholar winners, announced Wednesday, were among 2,500 winners nationwide and were selected from a pool of more than 15,000 finalists. This is the second group of National Merit Scholarship winners to be announced this year. In April, more than 1,000 recipients of the corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship were named. Additional winners will be named in June and July. By the end of the year, about 7,600 students will have won merit scholarships totaling more than $31 million. The money can be put toward any regionally accredited college or university in America. A panel of college admissions officers and high school counselors judged the students based on their grades, difficulty of courses, standardized test scores, contributions and leadership both in school and in the community, an essay and a recommendation from a high school official. Here are the winners from Baltimore: Andrew Cohen Probable career field: Biomedical engineering School: Boys' Latin School Lily K. DeBell Probable career field: Biochemistry School: Baltimore Polytechnic Institute Clark P. Dowling Probable career field: Business School: Gilman School William C. Dowling Probable career field: Environmental engineering School: Gilman School The merit scholarship program was created in 1955. Students in grades nine through 12 vie for academic recognition and financial support. About 1.6 million students take the qualifying test every year and about 50,000 of the highest scorers have the chance to be considered. The number of winners in each state was proportional to the state's share of the nation's graduating high school seniors, according to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation . Patch national staffer Dan Hampton contributed to this report.

After decorated collegiate careers that included winning NCAA individual titles within the past few weeks, Matthew Wolff and Maria Fassi continued to rack up the accolades on Tuesday, taking home two of college golf's biggest awards. Wolff, who won six times in his sophomore season at Oklahoma State, was named recipient of the Fred Haskins Award, given annually to the most outstanding Division I men's golfer, while Fassi capped her career at Arkansas by taking home the Annika Award, handed out to the most outstanding female golfer in Division I, for a second straight year. RELATED: Watch this kid somehow replicate Matthew Wolff's swing ... in front of Matthew Wolff The awards are voted on by players, coaches and media and were announced Tuesday night on Golf Channel. Georgia Southern's Steven Fisk and Wolff's OSU teammate Viktor Hovland were the other Haskins finalists, while Wake Forest grad Jennifer Kupcho and Florida State sophomore Frida Kunhult were the other Annika finalists. Wolff ended his season with nine top-10 finishes in a dozen starts for the Cowboys and finished with a 68.7 scoring average, an NCAA record. A GCAA first-team All-American, he also took home the Jack Nicklaus Award and was a finalist for the Hogan Award. For winning the Haskins Award, Wolff, who is expected to turn pro this summer, also receives an exemption into the PGA Tour's 2019-20 season-opener this fall, A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier. RELATED: Matthew Wolff runs away with NCAA individual title as powerhouse Oklahoma State aims to repeat as team champs Fassi, a WGCA first-team All-American who earlier this spring finished runner-up at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, ended her senior year at Arkansas by winning the SEC Championships as well as the NCAA individual title on the Razorbacks' home course before turning pro and tying for 12th at the U.S. Women's Open in her debut. RELATED: Decision to stay in school pays off for Arkansas' Maria Fassi, as she claims NCAA women's individual title The winner of the Annika Award receives an exemption into the 2020 Evian Championship, though Fassi had already been given a spot in the field thanks to her Annika Award win last year.


As we approach the 2019 season, Vikings second-year wide receiver Chad Beebe finds himself in a fun place. Beebe will be one of the main players competing for the third wide receiver spot behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. If he doesn't get the gig, it's not because of lack of work ethic. Beebe has been working with a JUGS machine his dad bought during his playing days. "It's got duct tape on it and its screws have been replaced and it's been through a lot, but it's still hanging in there," his father and former NFL receiver Don Beebe said via the Pioneer Press . "Chad is wearing out that JUGS machine. That's what he does for a living. He's catching hundreds and hundreds of balls out of a JUGS machine, and that's why I think he's got very good ball skills." Someone get this man a new JUGS machine! Per OverTheCap, Beebe is due $570,000 in 2019 and $660,000 in 2020. A JUGS machine costs about $3,000, per my quick research. If Beebe wins the WR3 spot, his restricted free agency after the 2020 season could be enough for the family to invest in a new JUGS machine.

Mars attacked. The Red Planet was hit by an asteroid sometime within the past three years and the resulting crater has exposed a "darker material" underneath Mars' reddish dust that is currently perplexing scientists. The image was captured by the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on April 17, 2019. The black-and-blue area on the Martian landscape highlights the area that was hit. MYSTERIOUS 'STAR TREK' LOGO SPOTTED ON MARS University of Arizona scientist Veronica Bray told Space.com that the crater was on the larger side of ones she has observed and was a fairly rare event, as MRO has been continuously observing Mars for 13 years. "It is a reminder of what's out there," she told the news outlet. "It's a gorgeous [crater]. I'm glad I got it in the color strip." The blueish tint seen in the image may be exposed ice, though Bray and her fellow researchers are not sure exactly what it is and further research is needed. Peter Grindrod, a research leader in Planetary Science at the Natural History Museum in London, tweeted this gif showing the before and after images. KABOOM! Before and after images of a meteorite forming a brand new impact crater on Mars. Sometime between 18 Feb 2017 and 20 March 2019. pic.twitter.com/TWXtUoP5NA   Peter Grindrod (@Peter_Grindrod) June 12, 2019 Researchers suspect that the asteroid was no more than 5 feet wide and likely would've broken up had it entered Earth's atmosphere. But because Mars' atmosphere is significantly weaker than Earth's, it had a better chance of leaving an impact crater. It's unclear exactly when the impact occurred, but the best guess is that the impact crater formed between September 2016 and February 2019. NASA's exploration of space and in particular, the MRO, have been in the spotlight in recent weeks. A tweet from President Trump caused confusion earlier this month when he said "NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon," but rather it should be "be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science." Under the direction of the Trump administration, astronauts will return to the Moon by 2024. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine attempted to downplay the confusion, noting that NASA was using the Moon as a gateway to Mars. And just last week , the University of Arizona, which operates the HiRISE camera, released a picture the MRO took on Mars of a dune that looks strikingly similar to the Starfleet logo on "Star Trek."

CHICAGO (CBS)   A priest at Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish in Chicago celebrated Mass for the first time Sunday since being cleared of sexual abuse allegations. He was asked to step aside from his duties in January pending the outcome of the investigation. Father Patrick Lee was greeted with hugs and a standing ovation during services at the Lake View church, 720 W. Belmont. "I'm overwhelmed by the reception, and I'm just very, very happy to be back," Lee told CBS 2's Eric Cox. "But in the current state of the church, with cover ups and things of the past, it's important that we all cooperate with the investigation." Cardinal Blase Cupich said Lee cooperated with civil authorities and the Archdiocese of Chicago during the investigation. Big applause at Our Lady of Mt.
