If your goal is to keep your car in great shape, don't even consider doing any of these things or you'll regret it. Never Overfill the Tires to 'Get Better Gas Mileage' The Internet is brimming with testimonials from people who claim they upped their mileage simply by inflating their tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall. What they don't tell you about is the rougher ride, premature tire wear, longer stopping distances and increased repair costs due to worn-out suspension components. The recommended tire pressure for your car is listed on a placard inside the driver's door frame and it's based on vehicle weight along with the best possible handling. Inflating your tires to the maximum pressure listed on the tire is okay if you're hauling a very heavy load. But you must reduce the tire pressure to the recommended pressure once you remove the load. Driving a normal load on over-inflated tires reduces rolling resistance and that can increase your mileage slightly. That means you have less rubber in contact with the road, which reduces traction. Over-inflation increases stopping distances, causes the tires to slip and hydroplane on wet roads and reduces the life of the tire. The much harder tires also absorb less impact vibration so they transmit more road shock to your entire suspension system, causing a rougher ride. Worse yet, the additional tire bounce wears out your car's struts, strut mounts, shocks, springs, ball joints and control arms much faster. Any mileage gains you get from decreased rolling resistance are more than offset by decreased safety factors and increased suspension repair costs. Continue reading in the gallery above.

Never Use the Wrong Coolant/Antifreeze Whether you do your own cooling system flushes or are just topping off your cooling system after a repair, using the right coolant is critical to the life of your car's engine and all cooling system components. The recommended coolant for your car is listed in your owner's manual. If you use the wrong coolant or mix two different types of coolant you can actually cause early water pump, radiator, heater pipes and heater core failure. That's because corrosion inhibitors are designed to be compatible with the specific metals used in the engine and cooling system. Each inhibitor package also has to be compatible with the types of plastic and rubber used in seals, gaskets and tubes used in your particular engine. If you mix coolants, the corrosion inhibitors in one type of coolant can be incompatible with the additive package of the coolant already in your car. The inhibitors in the added coolant can reduce the effectiveness or even cancel out the performance of the corrosion inhibitors of the old coolant. Worse yet, topping off or flushing with the wrong coolant can damage the plastic and rubber seals and gaskets used in late model engines. The damage may not show until you've racked up 5,000 or more miles. But when those parts fail, you probably won't connect the dots and realize they failed because you used the wrong coolant. If you can't find the exact coolant for your engine at an auto parts store, buy it at the dealer. You may spend a whopping $10 more than you would for the 'universal' coolant stocked at the auto parts store, but at least you'll get the right coolant for your car. That's a small price to pay for peace of mind. Changing coolant prevents premature radiator and heater core failure. Check these cool tips on how to change your own coolant. Never Mix Up Brake Fluid and Power Steering Fluid A 1-pint bottle of power steering fluid looks almost like a 1-pint bottle of brake fluid. That's why so many DIYers mix them up (it happens more often than you think). If you add the wrong fluid to either your power steering or brake system, the repair can easily cost upwards of $1,000. Power steering fluid swells the seals in a brake system, causing total brake failure. To fix the mistake, the shop has to rebuild or replace the master cylinder, calipers, wheel cylinders and proportioning valve. Sometimes they even have to replace expensive ABS components. Pouring brake fluid into your power steering reservoir is just as damaging because brake fluid isn't a lubricant, so it causes pump and steering gear failure. Always double check before you refill your brake or power steering fluid reservoirs. Check the condition of your brake fluid yourself with easy-to-use test strips. Prevent internal brake system corrosion by replacing your brake fluid yourself. Learn how to check the remaining life on your brakes with this simple method. Never Use a 'Universal' Fluid in Your Power Steering or Transmission Several fluid manufacturers claim their 'universal' power steering and transmission fluids work in all car makes and models. The car makers disagree and their arguments against using universal fluids are based on incompatible specifications, not greed. For example, there's simply no way a single transmission or power steering fluid can meet the many different (and mutually exclusive) viscosity and additive requirements for every transmission and power steering system in use today. In fact, European, Japanese and domestic car makers have differing transmission and power steering fluid requirements from model to model and even year to year. The recommended fluid for your car's transmission and power steering system is listed in your owner's manual. If the auto parts doesn't stock the exact fluid, try a different store or buy it at the dealer. It's simply not worth the risk to use a non-approved fluid in expensive components like your transmission or power steering. Change your power steering yourself and save $125. Never Disconnect a Battery Cable to Test the Alternator Many years ago, you could disconnect a battery cable while the engine was running to test the alternator in your car. If the engine continued to run, that proved the alternator was working. But it's a test you should never try on a modern car or truck equipped with computers and electronics. That's because disconnecting a battery cable while the engine is running causes the alternator to spike a 25-125-volt surge within 40ms after cable removal. That voltage spike can't damage anything in an old non-computerized car, but it can instantly fry the many computers and expensive electronics used on all late model cars. Repairing the damage can cost a small fortune. If your car or truck was built after the early 1970s, chances are it has at least one computer. So forget this old trick left over from the 'old days' and test your car alternator with a volt meter. Or, take your car to an auto parts store that offers a free charging system diagnostic test. Learn how to test your alternator with just a volt meter. Change your alternator yourself and save around $200. Find out what motor oil really does for your engine. Never Drive When Your Oil Light is Lit All cars have a 'low oil pressure' warning light. If the light comes on while you're driving, it can mean that your car is dangerously low or completely out of oil. Or it can mean that your car has a serious leak that's causing a pressure drop, a clogged oil passage that's causing oil starvation, or the oil pump has failed or is failing. Whatever the cause, when the light comes on, pull off the road immediately and shut off the engine. Then pop the hood and check the oil level using the dipstick. If the dipstick shows you're out of oil or dangerously low, you must add more oil before restarting. Driving a car when it's dangerously low or completely out of oil will destroy your engine in just a few minutes, and that can easily cost you $4,000. Don't think you can drive to the nearest store to get more! It's not worth the risk. Instead the things you should do are, call a friend or family member and ask them to bring the oil to your location (the recommended type and viscosity is listed in your owner's manual). Add it to the filler port and check the dipstick to make sure it's full. Do not overfill. However, if the dipstick shows you've got oil, then the problem is even more serious and must be checked out by a mechanic. There's really nothing you can do while you're on the side of the road. If the dipstick shows the engine is full, or you can't reach a friend to drop off more oil, call a tow truck! If you can't afford a $200 tow, then you surely can't afford a new engine. Should you use a high-mileage motor oil? How to pour motor oil without making a mess. Never Drive With Less Than a Quarter Tank of Gas The electric fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank on just about every fuel-injected car and truck. Car makers put it there on purpose so it's cooled and kept at a safe operating temperature by the gas in the tank. But if you consistently drive with less than a quarter tank, the low fuel level can't always provide enough cooling for the pump, and that can cause early fuel pump failure. In-tank fuel pump replacement can cost around $700. Overheating isn't the only issue, though. Consistently driving with a low fuel level causes the pump to suck in debris from the bottom of the tank. That debris can pass through the 'sock' filter in the tank and the particles can wear out the pump impeller, causing a low fuel pressure situation. This warning doesn't mean you have to rush to a gas station the instant you hit a quarter tank on the gauge. The fuel pump can easily handle occasional low fuel level operation. But, if you consistently drive with less than a quarter tank, you increase your chances of early fuel pump failure and a big repair bill. Which gasoline should you buy? 10 things you should know about gasoline. Never Use the Wrong Oil Car makers have had to up their game on engine design to meet higher mileage standards. The newer engines are built to more exacting tolerances and include high-tech mechanisms like variable valve timing (VVT) and turbochargers to squeeze more power and miles out of every gallon of gas. VVT systems work by pulsing pressurized oil into hydraulic passages to advance or retard the camshaft. The pulse timing and associated camshaft movement is based on the oil type and viscosity listed in your owner's manual. The computer varies the pulse rate based on engine temperature and driver inputs from the accelerator pedal. It all works great if you use the right oil and it gets messed up if you use the wrong oil. In fact, using the wrong viscosity oil can actually set a trouble code and light the 'check engine' light on your dash. The right oil is just as critical for proper turbocharger operation. A modern turbocharger can spin at rates as high as 240,000 RPM which means the bearings must be constantly lubricated and cooled by the oil. If you substitute a different oil type or viscosity, you can change the flow rate, causing bearing overheating and early turbo failure. Turbo replacement can cost $1,500 to $2,000. So ignore the advice from your buddies or online 'oil experts' and stick with the car maker's oil recommendation. They designed the engine and they're in the best position to know what fluids it needs. Learn how to choose the right motor oil and filter. Wonder if engine additives actually work? Here's the scoop. Never Use Dishwashing Detergent to Wash Your Car Dishwashing detergent is designed to aggressively attack and break down dried on food, oil and grease. That's great for dishes not so great for car paint. Car paint, clear coat and car wax contain oils and resins that maintain the paint's integrity and filter out harmful UV rays. When you wash your car with dishwashing detergent, you actually strip off the wax and pull some of those critical oils out of the paint and paint sealants, leaving it bare and exposed to the elements. If you immediately wax your car with a high-quality wax, you can restore some of the UV protection. If you don't wax your car after washing with dishwashing detergent, you lose important sun protection. If you regularly wash your car with dishwashing detergent, you'll degrade the paint and clear coat enough over its life to cause premature fading and even early paint failure. Car wash soap, on the other hand, is designed to remove dirt and grease without removing the surface wax and oils from the paint. It's also biodegradable, so the wash water runoff is safer for the environment. Find car wash soap at any auto parts store or in the automotive aisle at most big box stores. It's cheap and it's better for your car's finish. Get car detailing tips from the pros. Detailing your car? Learn how to safely clean your engine. Learn how to restore a faded car interior. Never Neglect the Dipstick The oil change intervals listed in your owner's manual are based on the car maker's assumption that you'll not only use the recommended oil, but that you'll also check the oil on a regular basis and top it off when it's low. All engines use some oil between oil changes; even some new engines can burn as much as a quart every 1,500 to 3,000 miles. If you never check your dipstick, you'll never know that you need to add more oil. Worse yet, if you don't top off your oil, you stress the remaining oil, dramatically reducing its useful life. Here's an example: Let's assume the recommended oil change interval for your car is every 7,500 miles. If you burn one quart of oil in the first 3.000 miles and don't replenish it, you deplete the anti-wear and anti-corrosion additives in the remaining oil by about 25 percent. If you burn no more oil (which is unlikely), your oil will be worn out when you reach 5,600 miles instead of the normal 7,500 miles. If you continue to drive on that depleted oil until you reach the 7,500 mile mark, your engine can experience premature wear and develop sludge deposits. With an engine swap costing around $4,000, it pays to check your oil regularly and refill when it's low. Check out the things you should do to save money by changing your own oil. Never Leave Beverages Inside Your Car Since liquids expand when they freeze, you could be in for a big mess if you leave beverages in your vehicle for extended periods of time when temperature dip below freezing. Don't forget to take bottled water, juice, soda and beer inside after your trip to the grocery store. These are 10 seriously drool-worthy beer fridges. Never Smoke While Pumping Gas It may seem like a no-brainer, but you shouldn't smoke around the gas pump. And this should be obvious, but never ignite lighters or light matches anywhere near a gas pump. If you have this smoke detector, you should replace it immediately. Never Drive Without Shoes On Many drivers might be guilty of this, says Richard Reina, product training director at the aftermarket auto retailer CARiD.com . It's not necessarily the least safe thing you can do behind the wheel, but it still isn't a good idea. 'For instance, you might need to brake very hard suddenly and find yourself unable to apply the proper force with a bare or socked foot as you would with a shoe on,' Reina says. 'Additionally, if you need to step out of the car in an emergency, you run the risk of injuring your feet or wasting precious time putting shoes back on.'

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.   Brebeuf Jesuit will take its appeal to Rome after the Indianapolis Archdiocese issued a decree stripping the school of its Catholic identity in a dispute involving a teacher in a same-sex marriage. Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School hopes to be recognized by the Catholic Church once again. In June, Archbishop Charles Thompson said the school would no longer be identified or recognized as Catholic. The decree came after leaders at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School refused to fire a teacher in a same-sex marriage. The school already asked the archbishop to reconsider his decision; Thompson declined to do so. The next step for the school is to appeal to the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome. The school hopes the appeals process results in the temporary suspension of the decree. Ultimately, school leaders hope the decree is overturned. While the archbishop has agreed to allow the school to celebrate daily Mass in the school chapel each day before classes, Thompson declined to grant his permission for various other Masses. Brebeuf President the Rev. Bill Verbryke sent a letter to the community on the matter : We are disappointed and saddened by the Archbishop's decision; however, our appeal includes our request for the ability to have school Masses on campus once again. We earnestly hope to be able to celebrate the Eucharist as an entire school community again in the near future. However, we must, and do, acknowledge the authority of the Archbishop with respect to the celebration of Mass within the Archdiocese. In lieu of celebrating the Mass of the Holy Spirit as a traditional opening-of-the-school-year Mass on Thursday, August 15, our Brebeuf Jesuit community will call upon the blessings of the Holy Spirit in our school community for this academic year by holding a school-wide prayer service during the school day. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis issued the following statement on the matter: In the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, every archdiocesan Catholic school and private Catholic school has been instructed to clearly state in its contracts and ministerial job descriptions that all administrators, teachers and guidance counselors must convey and be supportive of all teachings of the Catholic Church. Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School freely chose not to implement these practices and therefore decided to no longer be recognized as a Catholic institution in the Archdiocese. Out of pastoral concern and charity, Archbishop Charles C. Thompson has given permission for Mass to be celebrated every day in the school chapel before the start of school.     ©2019 WXIN-TV, Indianapolis Visit WXIN-TV, Indianapolis at www.fox59.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.


The mystery surrounding Vice President Mike Pence's scrapped trip to New Hampshire last week is still alive, with his chief of staff telling reporters Wednesday morning that he can't yet offer up an explanation. "I can't talk about that," Pence chief of staff Marc Short told reporters on the White House driveway. He said the public could expect an answer "in a few weeks." Pence was scheduled to visit New Hampshire on July 2 to deliver remarks on America's opioid epidemic. But Air Force Two never took off, and the abrupt change in travel plans generated significant speculation on Twitter and cable news. President Donald Trump said last Friday that people should not worry about the situation, while also teasing that the reason would soon become public. "There was a very interesting problem that they had in New Hampshire," Trump told reporters, adding that the reason will come out "in about a week or two." "I can't tell you about it. But it had nothing to do with the White House," Trump said. "There was a problem up there." Senior administration officials have said the cancellation was not about national security and was not health-related or due to personal or family issues. Pence's press secretary, Alyssa Farah, also tweeted last week, "It's no cause for alarm. He looks forward to rescheduling the trip to New Hampshire very soon."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Eduardo Rodriguez knew his job was to pile up innings after the Boston Red Sox had to go 17 innings in Tuesday's loss at Minnesota. Even after giving up runs early Wednesday night, Rodriguez wasn't going to be taken out. He had to handle the workload, regardless of results. The Boston left-hander picked up the team's bullpen, Brock Holt drove in three runs and the Red Sox beat the Twins 9-4 on Wednesday night. ''It was a matter of him giving us a chance to win or giving (up) a lot of runs and going deep in the game regardless,'' Boston manager Alex Cora said. ''So, I think he liked giving us a chance to win and get that `W.' He's been good.'' Rodriguez (8-4) allowed four runs and eight hits, but more important, he lasted seven innings after the Red Sox used eight relievers in Tuesday's marathon. Rodriguez has gone at least seven in his past two starts, relying more on his fastball and changeup mix, and has given the team much-needed innings in each outing. ''It means a lot to save the bullpen, go out there and give seven innings,'' Rodriguez said. ''I think for me, it's something I've tried to do a long time. I had a chance the last two starts to help the bullpen and feel really good with that.'' Boston scored three runs in the second, fifth and eighth innings to win for the seventh time in eight games. The AL Central-leading Twins have dropped three of four and lost a home series for just the second time this season. Kyle Gibson (7-4) couldn't lighten the load on Minnesota's bullpen. He tied a career high with five walks and threw 94 pitches in 4 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits. ''That might have been some of the worst stuff I've had in quite a while,'' Gibson said. ''Frustrating night knowing that anything that looked like a quality start was a win, unfortunately, but I didn't get it done.'' Eddie Rosario's RBI single put Minnesota ahead in the first, but Holt, Michael Chavis and Mookie Betts each had RBI singles in the second. Willians Astudillo and Max Kepler homered in the fourth to give the Twins a 4-3 lead, but Boston rallied again. Xander Bogaerts ripped an RBI double to left. Holt plated another run with a sacrifice fly and Chavis chased Gibson with his second hit. ''Last night, you start playing that many innings, guys get a little antsy, maybe try to do a little bit too much,'' Holt said. ''I feel like our situational hitting was pretty solid tonight. We got a guy on third, we got him in, for the most part. Just better approaches tonight, I think.'' Rodriguez settled in and retired 11 of the final 12 batters he faced after Kepler's homer. ''Ultimately, he was able to persevere through some innings where he had to work a little bit,'' Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli said of Rodriguez. ''Early on, we thought maybe we'd have the opportunity to get to him with the kinds of at-bats we were having. Ultimately, he did a nice job. DEVERS HURT Boston's Rafael Devers left in fifth inning with tightness in his right hamstring. He was injured running out an infield single. Cora said Devers would likely be out of the lineup Friday, but called his third baseman day to day. ''I just felt that it was a little bit tight,'' Devers said through an interpreter. ''It's not as bad as what I dealt with last year. Hopefully, I can go out there and play, but it's up to the coaches to see if they let me play on Friday.'' ROSTER MOVES The Red Sox placed Hector Velazquez on the injured list with a lower back strain and recalled right-hander Josh Smith from Triple-A Pawtucket. Velazquez pitched four innings in Tuesday's game, but had a recurrence of the back injury that forced him to the injured list before he returned Tuesday. Minnesota placed Marwin Gonzalez on the injured list with a right hamstring strain. The Twins also placed reliever Blake Parker on the family medical emergency list. Astudillo was recalled from Triple-A Rochester, and the team selected the contract of right-hander Sean Poppen from Triple-A. Poppen, a 19th-round draft choice in 2016 out of Harvard, made his major league debut and allowed three runs in four innings. Baldelli said after the game that Poppen would be optioned back to Rochester. TRAINER'S ROOM Red Sox: Nathan Eovaldi (right elbow) threw for the third straight day. Cora said Eovaldi would take a day off and the team would map out his next throwing session. ... Heath Hembree (right elbow extensor strain) played catch before the game. Twins: To make room on the 40-man roster for Poppen, Minnesota moved Adalberto Mejia to the 60-day disabled list. Mejia has been out since the start of May with a right calf strain. UP NEXT Red Sox: Following an off day, Boston returns home Friday against Toronto. Chris Sale (3-7, 3.49 ERA) takes the mound for the Red Sox with the Jays starting Trent Thornton (2-5, 4.36). Sale has allowed two total runs over his past three starts and has struck out at least 10 in four straight games. Twins: Jake Odorizzi (10-2, 2.24) will try to keep his run going as Minnesota opens a four-game series at Kansas City on Thursday. Odorizzi has won 10 straight decisions and beat the Royals in his last start. Kansas City will start Glenn Sparkman (1-3, 4.01). --- More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports

Walkinshaw Andretti United is the latest Supercars squad to name its driver line-up for this year's Gfinity Supercars Eseries. There has been a boost in interest from real-life teams for the revamped Supercars Eseries , which moves to the iRacing platform for the 2019 season. WAU is one team that's committed to the Eseries, locking down two of the 12 entries for reigning V8 Supercar Online Premier Series champion Jarrad Filsell and current leader of the VRS GT iRacing World Championship Series Joshua Rogers. The team has also confirmed that major backers Mobil 1 and Mega Fuels will extend their support to the Esports operation. "With the rapid rise of Esports around the world, and the juggernaut it is becoming, it was critically important for Walkinshaw Andretti United to be involved," said WAU co-team principal Bruce Stewart. "It's a really exciting space to be in and gives us further opportunity to connect with the young fans around Australia, and no doubt the world. Esports is a big part of the future, so it's great to be involved. "Make no mistake, we are in this to do the best job possible, and we have two highly skilled, quality drivers to help us achieve that. We are extremely excited for Josh and Jarrad to lead us into a new era of Walkinshaw Andretti United history. "It's also really exciting to have Mobil 1 and MEGA Limited involved in both of our Supercars programmes, creating great consistency and cohesion, as well as the support of all our Supercars partners." Garry Rogers Motorsport has also named a two-driver Eseries line-up, Ethan Grigg-Gault and Ian Ford set to represent the Boost Mobile-backed squad. The pair were on-hand to see the real-life GRM squad in action at last weekend's Ipswich Supercars round, and will be mentored by GRM driver Richie Stanaway through the Eseries campaign.


Kurt Busch, who has three career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series wins at Pocono Raceway, topped Friday's final practice. Busch and Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Kyle Larson took two of the top three positions on the leaderboard as both rocketed to the top in the final minutes of the 50-minute session.

As the U.S. remains locked in a debate over asylum seekers from Central America, lawyers and advocacy groups say they are seeing an alarming uptick in deportations to the African nation of Eritrea -- a country that President Donald Trump's government acknowledges arbitrarily imprisons and tortures its own citizens. The plight of Eritrean refugees , while relatively small, strikes at the heart of the ongoing dispute in America over who is entitled to seek refuge within its borders, and what to do with people who are already here. Eritreans in the U.S. whose bids for asylum have been denied say they fear that deportations are akin to a death sentence, immigration attorneys told ABC News. Last year, Zeresenay Ermias Testfatsion, a 34-year-old Eritrean whose asylum claim was rejected, was found dead in a shower area at a detention holding area during a layover at Cairo's international airport en route to East Africa. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said his death was an "apparent suicide." "He explained to the U.S. government, if he gets deported, the Eritrean government will imprison him and torture him, all that kind of stuff," his close friend in the Washington area, Tesfom Debesai, told ABC News. "If he went back to this country, something was going to happen to him." President Trump has primarily focused on migrants and asylum-seekers from Central America, which advocates say deflect attention from the plight of Africans and others seeking refuge in the United States. "I think certainly on the ground, we see all the communities in our state and folks who we serve across the board … impacted by administration policies," Tim Warden-Hertz, an attorney at the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project in Seattle, told ABC News Eritrea's authoritarian government tortures, forcibly disappears, and indefinitely detains its citizens, who lack an array of civil rights and freedoms, according to the State Department's 2018 report on human rights in the country. Human rights groups say it also uses extortion and threats of violence to compel its nationals residing abroad to pay a 2% income tax before they can obtain basic services. Nearly half a million Eritreans have fled in recent years , with many of them escaping indefinite military service that the United Nations has said amounts to mass enslavement, and tight restrictions on leaving. Some have made their way to ports of entry on the United States' southern border with Mexico and claimed asylum -- only to have American immigration courts deny them refuge. Eritrea, which borders Ethiopia, Djibouti and Sudan in the Horn of Africa, has for years refused to provide U.S. immigration authorities with the documents needed to repatriate Eritreans, and those who are denied asylum can end up in a state of limbo. To force Eritrea's hand, in September 2017, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it would stop issuing a wide range of U.S. visas to Eritreans. Since then, the number of Eritreans deported has spiked by over 50%, an increase ICE has attributed to the heightened pressure. The U.S. deported about 62 Eritreans in the year since the sanctions announcement, and an ICE spokesperson told ABC News that at least a dozen more people have been deported since October. The America Team for Displaced Eritreans , an advocacy group, told ABC News that, over the years, it had tracked scores of cases of Eritreans fighting to stay in the United States. As of last month, there were 936 Eritreans in the U.S. who had been ordered deported but who were not detained, including 147 convicted criminals, according to an ICE official. As the United States pushes to accelerate deportations, several immigration attorneys who work with Eritreans told ABC News that individuals who go before U.S. immigration judges without a legal assistance might struggle to counter claims that the human rights situation in their home country has improved. There is no guarantee to a lawyer in U.S. immigration courts. "That is the climate that we are living in, especially under the Trump administration," said one immigration attorney, who requested anonymity out of fear of reprisal from Eritrea. "I'm seeing just the craziest arguments being made -- decisions, rulings that place people's lives in danger." The Eritrean embassy in Washington did not respond to multiple requests for comment, and the State Department referred questions about Eritrea's cooperation with the U.S. to ICE. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, also referred questions to the agency. The brother of one Eritrean man facing deportation, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation by Eritrean and American authorities, told ABC News that he worries that if his brother is forced to return home, he will never see him again. His brother had been conscripted into the country's notorious "national service" and was tortured repeatedly after refusing an order to shoot at someone who was trying to escape. He escaped across the border to Sudan and eventually made his way to a port of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border in 2016, but his asylum claim was later denied. He is now being held in ICE detention. "In the past, he was going in and out… of the prison. And got tortured, got beaten up," he said of his brother. "But this time, he will not make it out (of Eritrea) alive."

When Collis Robinson attended Berea College in Kentucky, he worked typical campus jobs   cleaning restrooms and setting up events. But he also worked jobs students don't usually do, including comptroller for the campus activities board and, as a senior, student director of the board. "I led 22 people and had a $70,000 budget to manage," says Robinson, now the director of student labor at Berea. "I got to gain a lot of transferable skills." Gaining work experience while getting an education was made even sweeter by the fact that Robinson didn't pay a dime in tuition. Berea College is called a "work college," meaning students must work as part of the learning experience toward a degree. There are nine official four-year work colleges , but only three offer free tuition, including Berea. Most free tuition programs are funded through a mix of endowments, alumni gifts and grants. Sometimes students' earnings are applied to help cover tuition, but other times they keep their wages. Students usually pay for fees, room and board, books and supplies. These additional costs may be covered by federal aid like Pell Grants along with scholarships and loans. While free tuition is sometimes offered at community colleges, it's rare at four-year schools. The average undergraduate annual tuition and fees across all undergraduate institutions is $12,600, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Students at private nonprofit schools pay the most: $33,800 annually, on average. If you're looking for your entire tuition to be covered and you're open to an experience that includes mandatory work   one school labels itself "Hard Work U"   here are four colleges to consider: Alice Lloyd College Alice Lloyd College is a private work college in Pippa Passes, Kentucky, that offers free tuition; students must come from one of 108 Central Appalachian counties. Students are expected to work 10 to 20 hours every week at minimum wage. Additional costs not covered: Room, board and matriculation fees totaling $9,030 per year for on-campus students. Matriculation and fees totaling $4,450 per year for commuters. Students cover additional costs like books and supplies. Types of jobs: Students work throughout the campus in 14 departments such as dining, day care, groundskeeping and the student newspaper. Off-campus jobs provide services to the community. Related video: Can America's $1.6 trillion in student debt be erased? (provided by CBS News) Berea College Berea College is a private liberal arts work college with free tuition. All students are required to work a minimum of 10 hours or up to 20 per week on campus in different departments. Students typically earn $2,000 for the academic year. Additional costs not covered: Registration costs, housing, meals, fees totaling $7,354. Types of jobs: There are more than 100 campus programs for students to find work, including academic support, community service, alumni development and student services. College of the Ozarks College of the Ozarks   aka Hard Work U   is a private evangelical college in Point Lookout, Missouri, with free tuition. Because the school does not want students to take out loans, it does not participate in any federal, state or private loan programs. Students must work 15 hours per week and complete two 40-hour workweeks per school year. Typically, students earn $4,480 per year toward their cost of education. Students may also apply for the 12-week full-time summer work program, which would cover room and board. Additional costs not covered: $7,600 annually for room and board. Fees include a $330 one-time acceptance fee and $230 for health/technology/service each semester. Types of jobs: Students work in every conceivable "station" on campus including admissions, a hog farm, carpentry, fire department, library and laundry. Deep Springs College Deep Springs College isn't one of the official work colleges. It's a two-year liberal arts college in Dyer, Nevada, with a student body of 24 to 30 students, located on a high-desert cattle ranch and alfalfa farm. All accepted students receive a scholarship covering tuition and room and board, estimated at a value of $50,000. All students are expected to work 20 hours per week. Additional costs not covered: Students provide a small damage deposit and cover books, travel, medical insurance and any personal expenses. Those with financial need may receive additional assistance. Types of jobs: Students work in the kitchen and dining hall, farm, garden, dairy mechanic shop, ranch or office. How you can benefit from work-study anywhere You don't have to attend a niche school to lower attendance costs through work. Over 3,400 colleges and universities participate in the Federal Work-Study Program. To qualify, students must submit the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid and have demonstrated financial need. It's a first-come, first-served program where jobs are not guaranteed. Among those who did work-study in 2017-18, average earnings were $1,693, according to a 2018 survey by the private lender Sallie Mae. More From NerdWallet What Is Work-Study?

The Steelers may want to try to find a way to add Matt Gay to their own kicker competition. The rookie Buccaneers kicker got his first taste of the NFL on Friday night. And in the first swing of his leg, Gay kicked the longest field goal in Heinz Field history. "Really?" Gay told Buccaneers.com after the game when told about the accomplishment. "Wow. That's awesome. That's cool to know. I don't know if that would count because it's preseason, but that's cool to know. It's awesome." Gay's 55-yard kick traveled two yards farther than the 53-yarder from former Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey in 2016. At one point, former Colts punter Pat McAfee held the record at Heinz Field, thanks to a 51-yard field goal he converted while kicking for West Virginia in 2006. Gay is competing with Cairo Santos for the kicking job in Tampa. The fact that the Bucs used a fifth-round pick to acquire Gay in the 2019 draft gives him a built-in advantage.

Each year brings us faster and faster phones, with Apple's newest iPhone leading the charge. The most recent A-series chip is always faster than whatever processors Qualcomm, Samsung, and Huawei manufacture for their latest Android flagships. But this year, Qualcomm is doing things a little differently, as the chipmaker just announced a brand new mobile flagship processor: The Snapdragon 855 Plus. The chip is targeting powerful mobile devices, with an emphasis on 5G, gaming, AI, and AR. It's coming in the second half of the year, which has us wondering which devices might feature the new 855 Plus silicon. Will the Pixel 4 be one of them? When the original Pixel launched a few years ago, it featured a slightly tweaked version of the Snapdragon 820 that shipped inside other flagships that year   Snapdragon 821 is what they called it at the time. However, the Pixel phones that followed didn't get the same treatment, sticking with whatever Qualcomm chip was available at the time. Therefore, there's no guarantee that the Pixel 4 will make the jump to the Snapdragon 855 Plus rather than making use of the 855 that powers the Galaxy S10, OnePlus 7, and Galaxy Note 10. But Qualcomm explained in a press release that commercial devices based on the Snapdragon 855 Plus platform are expected in the second half of the year. The 855 Plus runs on a higher clock, supporting speeds of up to 2.96GHz. Also, the chip is getting a new Adreno 640 GPU that should deliver a 15% performance boost. Qualcomm says the 855 Plus "is built for speed to support enhanced performance and deliver leading experiences in multi-gigabit 5G, gaming, AI and XR," suggesting that the next-gen Android gaming phones launching this year will likely pack 855 Plus chips rather than the 855 that powers standard Android flagships. The chipmaker also revealed the Snapdragon 855 Plus's 5G features: Snapdragon 855 Plus with an integrated multi-gigabit Snapdragon X24 LTE 4G modem also supports 5G connectivity using the X50 5G modem and Qualcomm Technologies' RF Front-end solutions to deliver best-in-class cellular performance, superior coverage and all-day battery life in premium 5G devices. Qualcomm makes no mention of actual OEMs that will use the 855 Plus, but one can safely assume companies like Razer, Asus, and Xiaomi are going to take advantage of the chip for their new phones. But why shouldn't other Android flagships also get the new 855 Plus? Google's Pixel 4 phones, Samsung's Note 10 or the OnePlus 7T could all use it, even though they aren't gaming phones. OnePlus already released a 5G phone with a great display for gaming, and could easily launch a OnePlus 7T Pro 5G later this year. The Note 10, meanwhile, will have two 5G versions that could benefit from the 855 Plus. There's no telling whether Google's Pixel 4 phone will support 5G connectivity, however.

WASHINGTON -- Kegan Queen said he witnessed Metro Transit Police officers detain children Saturday night and then use a taser on an unarmed man who he said was trying to help. Queen said it showed him the power of his white privilege firsthand. "I had been about as close to the kid previous to that," said Kegan Queen. "And the fact that the police never gave me any problem but gave him a problem, it really highlights for you the sort of privilege white people live with in this." RELATED: Metro Transit police investigating after officer uses a taser on unarmed man at U Street Metro station Metro Transit Police said they initially responded to a report of "juveniles threatening Metro patrons on the platform with sticks." Police said they detained some of them to investigate. "A nice gentleman came to help out...[to] make sure he was okay. And while he was talking to the other two police officers about the child, a second police officer came down the stairs and laid his hands on him, which is where we got that video of him being tased," said Queen. Metro Transit Police said the man "exhibited behavior consistent with preparing to fight the officer" and was warned to back off. They said he did not comply, so the officer used his taser on him. "[I was in] complete shock. The man had done nothing," said Queen. The video went viral on social media, and police said it prompted them to open an internal investigation into the incident. "It just doesn't seem to line up with what was actually happening at the time," said Queen. "We were very worried someone was going to get hurt, someone was going to die, someone was going to get extremely injured, so everyone was trying to be very hands on and make sure the kids were okay throughout the incident." The woman who originally shared the video with Black Lives Matter D.C., Che'mere Jones, later turned the camera on herself to post a tearful reaction to the children being detained. "I think it's important that we hold the police accountable for what they're doing," said Queen. Melissa Laws, the mother of one of the children who were detained, her 13-year-old son Malaki and his 14-year-old friend, Bryan, told WUSA 9 that the kids were not hurt or formally arrested. Police said neither the officer nor the man who was tased were hurt in the incident either.


NEW YORK (AP) Some very big, familiar pieces of New York City sports history are going on the auction block - courtesy of a baseball star. The 10-foot high letters that spelled ''Yankee Stadium'' atop the original Bronx ballpark are being offered for sale at Sotheby's on April 1. They're estimated to sell for $300,000 to $600,000. The owner is Yankee Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson. Mr. October bought the letters after the Yankees' last game at the stadium in 2008. They had adorned the ballpark since 1976. They were there when Jackson hit three consecutive home runs in the sixth game of the 1977 World Series. The Hall of Famer says he wants ''a new generation to own and enjoy this icon of the Yankees and of New York City.''


The Chicago Blackhawks got eight amazing seasons from star forward Marian Hossa from 2009 to 2017, and that is expected to continue in the future. Granted the 40-year-old's playing career is over, but in an interview with Chicago Blackhawks President John McDonough, The Athletic's Scott Powers writes that McDonough feels that Hossa will definitely work with the Blackhawks. Obviously, Hossa is still under contract as his rights are owned by the Arizona Coyotes for the next two seasons, but McDonough said that Hossa will have a role within the organization when Hossa's contract is up: "He will work for the Blackhawks. Rocky (Wirtz) and I feel very strongly about that. Marian Hossa's contributions to the Blackhawks are immeasurable. Immeasurable. Not just his on-ice performance, which is Hall of Fame. The way he goes about himself personally and professionally and he's kind and respectful and polite … But Marian Hossa will play a role here when he's done, and we'll have that conversation with him." Hossa scored 186 goals with the Blackhawks and helped the franchise win three Stanley Cups during that time. Scott Billeck of NHL.com writes that the Winnipeg Jets have high hopes that 2017 first-round pick Kristian Vesalainen is ready to take on an NHL role this season. The 20-year-old played in three leagues last season, which included a return-trip to Jokerit of the KHL. He played five games for the Jets last season before choosing to return to the KHL, where he scored six goals and 17 points in 31 games. With Jokerit's season over, Vesalainen decided to return to North America and join the Manitoba Moose of the AHL, where he posted four goals and 13 points in 22 games. However, Vesalainen has continued to work on his strength and conditioning, which he hopes might get him a chance at a bottom-six role next season. "Vesalainen is stronger, and where he could do the drills last year because he's a gifted man, it wasn't easy for him to drive through drills and always push," head coach Paul Maurice said. "And at the end of practice, he's still coming out of the corner now hard. He's just physically stronger. He can do an hour long of all those drills, and he's just a more mature player. How that relates to [training camp], we'll see. But clearly, there's been some good work done there." The Athletic's Saad Yousuf writes that the Dallas Stars are getting good reports on defenseman Stephen Johns , who sat out the entire 2018-19 season with concussion-related symptoms. The scribe writes that there are still questions that linger with the 27-year-old, including the fact that he still needs to be cleared by team doctors, but the team hopes that the 6-foot-4, 225-pound blueliner can contribute to the blueline despite not having been on the ice for 18 months. Johns scored eight goals in 75 games for Dallas back in the 2017-18 season. In his most recent mailbag, The Athletic's John Glennon writes that while the Nashville Predators are likely done with offseason moves (minus signing restricted free agent Rocco Grimaldi ), he wouldn't be surprised if the Predators attempted to move center Nick Bonino during training camp or early in the season. Bonino is coming off a solid season (17 goals, 35 points) and has just two years remaining on his contract at $4.1M AAV, which makes him an interesting trade candidate for teams in need of a veteran center. Colton Sissons , who just signed a seven-year, $20M contract, could easily take over Bonino's role as the center on the fourth line.

Steve Klein tried to protect his 103-year-old father from exploitation as Fred Klein's memory began to decline. Steve took over his father's bank accounts, bills and power of attorney. He took him to visit high-quality assisted-living facilities. But Fred   a former World War II pilot who flew more than 60 bombing runs over the South Pacific and swam competitively until he was a centenarian   refused to move out of the Tucson retirement community where he lives alone, drives his own golf cart and dates a former beauty queen. So Steve   who lives in Scottsdale, Arizona   and a troop of Fred's friends try their best to keep an eye on him instead. Things were going well until a few months ago, Steve said, when Fred decided to spruce up his 20-year-old home. Fred called Orangutan Home Services, a repair company he had used for more than a decade, to inspect his air conditioning. He didn't remember to consult Steve. The day of the inspection, Fred agreed to pay more than $24,000 to buy two new units and a 10-year labor warranty. Without access to credit cards or checks, Fred took out a 12-year loan that Orangutan offered through a financing company. If he made the minimum payments, he would pay nearly $18,000 in interest, documents show. "I don't want to leave (Steve and his brother) a pig in a poke. I want to leave them something that's in top shape," Fred said. "But when Steve got in on the act, things changed. I found out I had been not smart about this." Steve said that he was furious when he learned about the purchase. He believes Orangutan took advantage of his father and overcharged him. Fred "is not competent to sign contracts anymore," Steve, 70, said. "As you can see, he can hold a conversation. He can get to the country club. He's fine in those respects. But contract-signing and critical faculties are not his strong point anymore." Orangutan general manager Jeff Leader said employees had no reason to believe Fred couldn't handle the purchase. "(We've) been dealing with the person for 11 years. There's nothing posted in the house. This gentleman has made plenty of decisions in the past with nobody saying anything," Leader said. "He all of a sudden makes a bigger purchase, and they start complaining." Balancing a parent's desire to handle their own affairs with their declining physical or mental capabilities is difficult for many children, said Marc Pulsifer, a Tempe lawyer who deals with estate planning and business contracts. There's no "bright line," he said. "It's truly intractable because as a caregiver and a loved one, you don't want to take your father or mother's independence away. It's important to their quality of life," Pulsifer said. "And at the same time, you want to protect them." What could the company have done? Steve argues Orangutan should have asked Fred if he needed to call a family member. "When you walk to the front door and there's a gentleman with a cane, who looks conservatively 90 ... I would ask them to exercise good judgment," Steve said. "The topic should come up: 'Who handles your business affairs?' That would have been a simple question." After the visit from the repair company, Steve asked his father's doctor to assess Fred's cognitive ability. The physician signed a letter stating tests showed Fred is "not competent to enter into business contracts on his own without the assistance of his son or other professional advice." Leader said Orangutan employees do ask about involving a third party if a customer clearly has memory problems, employees notice a nurse caring for a customer, or adult children have already alerted the company that they handle the finances. But Orangutan's general manager said Fred had none of these red flags. "The technicians are not doctors," Leader said. "How are we supposed to know? We can only judge so much." Carol Soderquist, a Chandler family law attorney, said it's hard to prove a company should have known a customer was incapable of signing a contract. But "a reputable company would ask," Soderquist said. "If there was any doubt whatsoever, they would make sure and confirm the person was lucid by taking notes. 'I asked the father if he understands what this provision in the contract meant. He reflected back such and such.' " However, being elderly is not the same as being incapacitated, said Pulsifer, the Tempe lawyer. "I can imagine a 103-year-old fellow or woman who wants to live alone and is perfectly capable of entering into the contract you described," he said. "The next question is: Does the fellow, not just because he's old, does he appear to be incapacitated? Can he hold a conversation? If you or I were talking to him, would he appear to be cogent?" Pulsider said. "Especially if the company has a history with him and has done business with him before in good faith, if the fellow sitting in front of you appears to be cogent, I don't see a problem." Allegations of high prices and questionable workmanship Among the reasons Steve believes Orangutan exploited his father: The company charged a higher price than other companies. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors found problems with the workmanship. Fred paid nearly $19,700 for two high-end Trane air-conditioning units. Three companies provided lower quotes to Steve and The Arizona Republic . Samson and Sons Heating & Cooling in Tucson gave an estimate of about $14,000 to install similar units from another brand. American Home Water and Air in Phoenix quoted about $14,200 to install the same Trane units. Family Air in Tucson said it would have charged close to $19,000 for the same units. "That's a lot of money for what they did," Brad Steinbrecher, of American Home Water and Air, said. "This is exactly what is wrong with the industry: These commission-based companies that are gouging people." In addition, Steve noted about half a dozen people have posted complaints on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau website accusing Orangutan of up-selling elderly relatives. And the Arizona Attorney General fined Orangutan $150,000 for making thousands of illegal telemarketing calls in 2017. Orangutan's general manager says he did not overcharge Fred for the air-conditioning units. "They're not overly priced. They're good units," Leader said. Orangutan may charge more than smaller companies, but it has higher overhead because the company provides better service, he said. "The guy out there with one or two trucks, is he going to be answering your call on the Fourth of July? He might not," Leader said. "I'm never going to be the cheapest guy on the block." After Steve complained to the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, a state inspector found 13 areas where Orangutan's installation needed to be corrected. The items included a gas leak, improper support and incomplete duct work, according to letters from the agency to Orangutan. The company made repairs. At a follow-up visit, a state inspector found three items hadn't been corrected. Orangutan's work on the air-conditioning units "fails to meet minimum workmanship standards," state regulators told the company. "It was a completely botched installation," said Steve, who previously owned a construction company. "That's the largest areas of deficiency I've ever seen on a registrar inspection." Many issues with Orangutan's work were minor and wouldn't have affected the air-conditioning units' performance, Leader said. "Some of the things are kind of subjective," Leader said. "Half that list probably were things that never would have been needed to be done." "Nobody is going to do it perfectly 100%," he added. A settlement, and lessons learned Even though Steve controls his father's bank accounts, he wasn't notified when Fred applied for the loan. That's because Fred's credit line wasn't frozen. If it had been, Steve could have received a notification allowing him to approve or disapprove a credit request. "This one I didn't see coming," he said. "I thought any transaction would be run through me. This one wasn't." Steve hired a lawyer to negotiate a settlement. "Am I saying we're blameless? I'm actually not," Steve said. "We want Orangutan to get paid because the units are on the roof." After weeks of back and forth, and a call from The Republic , the two sides agreed to drop the warranty and charge $12,000 for the units   half of the total original bill. Orangutan will probably lose money on the deal, but after 26 years in business, the company wants the family to be happy, Leader said. "I don't know many companies that would take half the price off," he said. "We've gone above and beyond." Fred said he's learned to talk with his son before any large purchase. "I used to be famous for my memory like an elephant. But age seems to have changed that. And when I listen to what I did, I hate to look stupid," Fred said. "I'm not going to do this again   that's the lesson. If I get in on any expense, Steve is in on the act." How to freeze an elderly parent's credit If your parent is aging and you are their guardian, conservator or have power of attorney, you can request a free credit freeze for to protect them, according to the Federal Trade Commission . Credit freezes, also known as security freezes, restrict access to the person's credit file, making it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in their name or for a parent to open a credit line without the child knowing. What to do: Contact the three nationwide credit reporting agencies to request a credit freeze: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Provide the person's name, address, date of birth, Social Security number and other personal information to verify their identity. Provide information to verify your identity, as well as a court order, power of attorney or other documents to confirm your authority over the person. Request that notifications on the credit account come to you. If you request a freeze online or by phone, the agency must place the freeze within one business day. If you make a request by mail, the agency must place or lift the freeze within three business days after it receives your request. Each credit bureau will provide you with a unique PIN or password. Keep the PIN or password in a safe place. You will need it if you choose to lift the freeze. If you request a freeze be lifted, the agency must lift it within one hour. You also can lift the freeze temporarily for free. Credit reporting agencies Equifax: 800-685-1111. Experian: Experian.com/help or 888-397-3742.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang became the sixth Arsenal player to score 20 or more goals in a Premier League season in 2018/19, finding the net 22 times and sharing the Golden Boot with Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Here's a look back at every Gunners star to reach the 20-goal milestone in the post-1992 era... *indicates Premier League Golden Boot winning season Ian Wright 20+ Goals: 1993/94, 1996/97 Gunners legend Ian Wright actually had his most prolific league campaign in an Arsenal shirt before the Premier League era began, although he did still break the 20-goal barrier twice after 1992. Wright's consistency in front of goal, never scoring fewer than 15 league goals in any given year for Arsenal until his final season, was what made him so good. All this from a player who didn't sign a first professional contract until three weeks before his 22nd birthday. Thierry Henry 20+ Goals: 2001/02*, 2002/03, 2003/04*, 2004/05*, 2005/06* Wright had made himself Arsenal's all-time top scorer in 1997, but Thierry Henry went on to eventually shatter that record after arriving in north London from Juventus in 1999. After 17 Premier League goals in both of his first two seasons with the Gunners, Henry managed a minimum of 24 in each of the next five. The Frenchman won the Golden Boot in four of those campaigns, with his best tally reaching 30 in the 2003/04 'Invincible' season. Emmanuel Adebayor 20+ Goals: 2007/08 The 2007/08 season stands out as the most prolific season by far in the career of former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The Togolese frontman scored 30 times in all competitions and 24 in the Premier League. Adebayor actually never managed more than 17 goals in a league season for any other club during his lengthy journeyman career, reaching that tally with Tottenham in 2011/12. Robin van Persie 20+ Goals: 2011/12* Such was his quality, Robin van Persie might have scored 20 or more Premier League goals in more than just one season for Arsenal had he not struggled so badly with injuries for most of his time with the Gunners. Van Persie managed to play all 38 Premier League games in the 2011/12 season and scored 30 times to win the Golden Boot, going on to join Manchester United that summer. Alexis Sanchez 20+ Goals: 2016/17 Alexis Sanchez was a revelation for Arsenal after joining from Barcelona in 2014, but the Chilean forward took things to a new level during the 2016/17 season, scoring 24 Premier League goals and 30 in all competitions, by far the most prolific year of his career. The Gunners had to bid farewell to Sanchez in January 2018 as his contract wound down, but the player has since scored just five times in 45 appearances for Manchester United. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 20+ Goals: 2018/19* Aubameyang was the man Arsenal brought in to replace Sanchez last January, paying a club record fee of £56m to sign him from Borussia Dortmund . The Gabon international hit the ground running and scored 10 times in his first half-season. He has since followed that up with another 22 in his debut full campaign for a share in the Premier League Golden Boot.


The Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday announced that Dave Tippett has been hired as their eighth coach in 12 seasons, the team announced just ahead of a scheduled introductory news conference. The #Oilers have named Dave Tippett as Head Coach. Tippett joins the organization with 14 years of @NHL head coaching experience including, most recently, eight seasons with Arizona from 2009 to 2017. pic.twitter.com/rItEdXmwwA   Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) May 28, 2019 Tippett, 57, previously has coached the Stars and Coyotes. The Saskatchewan native becomes new general manager Ken Holland's first major hire, as Edmonton completes a housecleaning that began with the firing of coach Todd McLellan and GM Peter Chiarelli during the 2018-19 season in which the team finished 35-38-9 and second-to-last in the Western Conference. It marked the 12th time in the past 13 seasons that Edmonton has failed to qualify for the playoffs. "This was a unique opportunity. It's a first-class organization with passionate fans," Tippett said at his introductory news conference. "There was a lot of things that came together. When Ken reached out, I looked at it hard and it was a great opportunity. That's why I'm here." If nothing else, Tippett brings a track record of reaching the postseason: His teams made the playoffs in eight of his first nine seasons as an NHL head coach, though the Coyotes didn't in his last five seasons in Arizona. In 14 seasons as a head coach, Tippett is 553-413-28 (.563), though he is only 33-41-0 (.446) in the playoffs. His Stars team reached the West finals in 2008 before bowing to the Red Wings and the Coyotes lost to the Kings in the 2012 conference finals, the furthest any of his teams has advanced. "Dave brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. ... He is a great communicator and has consistently led teams known for their level of compete," said Holland, who flew back from the NHL Draft combine in Buffalo for the introduction. "I look forward to seeing Dave guide the Oilers this fall." Tippett takes over an Oilers team that features two of the top young players in the NHL in two-time Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, the only player to score 50 goals and have 100 points in 2018-19. That's a far cry from Tippett's most recent stint with the Coyotes (2009-17) when he led a team that frequently was hamstrung by ownership upheaval and a tight budget.

The Oilers scored 2.79 goals per game, 20th in the NHL, but allowed 3.30, tied for sixth-worst in the league. Per sportsnet.ca , which initially reported the hiring Tuesday morning: "Many of the Oilers' problems have stemmed from defending … an area that has traditionally been Tippett's stock in trade. Holland's job will be to find Tippett more depth players who can chip in some offense, so McDavid and Draisaitl don't have to carry the team night in and night out. And, of course, a goaltender to go along with Mikko Koskinen."


The number of crime incidents in Dallas last month remained roughly unchanged from the month before, according to data from CrimeoMeter , which collects data from police agencies and validated sources. Incidents fell by 0.1%, from 10,901 in May to 10,886 in June. This month's decrease in crime incidents puts the monthly total at about 33% above the same month a year ago. Crime tends to follow similar patterns over time, with seasonal ups and downs, making a year-over-year comparison most relevant. The month-to-month decrease in incidents was led by fraud or financial crimes and vandalism. Fraud or financial crimes fell from 239 reported incidents in May to 163 in June, and have fallen by 50 incidents since June of last year. Vandalism incidents went from 778 to 749 for the month, or a 3.7% decrease. Vandalism reports are down even more from a year ago. There was also a considerable percentage decrease last month in homicide, from 22 incidents per month to 12. Homicide reports have increased since the same month last year. Among the few types of offenses that saw an uptick last month, drug-related offenses went from 156 to 213. Auto theft incidents rose from 805 to 827, and domestic offenses went up from 86 to 106. All three have seen an overall upward trend since the same time last year. When it comes to crime patterns in different areas of the city, Far North, Wolf Creek and M Streets saw the largest decline from May to June. Lake Caroline, West End Historic District and the Convention Center District 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 South Boulevard-Park Row and declined the most in Buckner Terrace. Saturdays, Fridays and Wednesdays had the most crime incidents last month. The largest decrease from the previous month occurred on Fridays, Thursdays and Wednesdays, while incidents on Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays went up. Comparing times of day, late morning, evening and early morning continue to see the most crime incidents on average each day. To report a crime in progress or life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Video by CNN A Murphy, North Carolina, billboard that called members of the "squad"   including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley   the four horsemen of "idiots" is coming down after sparking controversy. The billboard was an advertisement for Cherokee Guns and was helped designed by its owner, known as Doc. Despite Doc not apologizing for the sign, Allison Outdoor Advertising said it will be removed, according to WTVC . "We're not in the business of upsetting people, and it's a shame it has come to this," a representative for Allison Outdoor Advertising said. "For all those who has concern over the Cherokee Guns Artwork. The board is coming down. This Creative never came on managements desk for approval. We understand this is a delicate subject and we greatly apologize for it ever going up," the company further said on social media. Doc said he might sue the firm because the billboard has helped his business, even selling a bumper sticker version of it. "The billboard has been driving business into our store. This was the main goal, as what any billboard is for! We give no apologies as we believe in our message (as many others do). The bottom line   this country will never be a Socialist country. I think President Trump will agree," he said . Doc added, "I don't care if it's four white women, four white guys who have their view   they'd be on the billboard."


On Day 4, Kawhi Leonard mania took to the skies. Feverish for an answer from the 28-year-old forward as he chooses between the Lakers, Clippers and Toronto Raptors for next season, a group of internet sleuths learned of a private plane taking off from L.A. to Toronto, and got a tip that the Raptors were meeting Leonard in a Toronto hotel. By midday on Wednesday, a Canadian television station CP24 was airing live footage from Pearson Airport , capturing images of a person believed (but not confirmed) to be Leonard. A helicopter tracked SUVs believed to be a Leonard caravan to the hotel, where a crowd of hopeful Canadians were waiting. Such was the fervor and the anticipation that many fans are feeling as Leonard draws out his decision process even longer. And the wait might continue even deeper into the week. The frenzy hasn't seemed to speed up the deliberate pace of the 6-foot-7 forward as he plods along in the first unrestricted free agency of his career. A report from The Athletic cited that Leonard was unlikely to make a decision late Wednesday night , and could still be days away from agreeing to his next contract, which is expected to be a multi-year max deal that has three teams virtually paralyzed as they preserve salary cap space for him. The Riverside native and San Diego State product has reportedly asked for media silence from his suitors as they recruit him . That has left details relatively scarce, though Leonard has now met with all three teams. Social media speculation however   as well as the occasional helicopter chase   has raged on, thanks to every other major free agent finding a new home within the first 24 hours of the starting gun. The Lakers are arguably the most vulnerable of the trio in their offseason moves : They've only confirmed six players for next season, and have limited tools and budget to build a roster whether Leonard arrives or not. While buoyed by All-Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, as well as returning starter Kyle Kuzma, the Lakers have only agreed to minimum deals with Troy Daniels and Jared Dudley, and they have just one draft pick, second-rounder Talen Horton-Tucker. Leonard's decision also has the potential to push back the timing of other deals, which they can officially sign starting on July 6: Once over the salary cap, the Lakers can sign as many players to minimum contracts as they wish without it counting against their salary cap space. But the team won't be over the cap until they agree to terms with Leonard (or whichever free agents they can sign if he goes elsewhere), meaning that other contracts will have to wait until Leonard's decision should it stretch to Saturday.

LAKERS CAP CALIFORNIA CLASSIC WITH A WIN Thanks to two-way contract player Zach Norvell, the Lakers left Sacramento a winner: The Gonzaga product's game-winning 3-pointer was the difference in a 99-97 victory over the host Kings in the third game of Summer League on Tuesday afternoon. The Lakers, who trailed by 21 with seven minutes left and were still down by nine with 2:16 left, were led by Jordan Howard (25 points). Norvell, however, had the heroics with his go-ahead bucket with four seconds remaining. The Lakers finished 2-1 at the California Classic. They'll resume play in Las Vegas after the holiday, opening against the Chicago Bulls on Friday at 4:30 p.m. PDT at the Thomas and Mack Center.

Buccaneers fans, you may just have a kicker… finally. After years of searching for a kicker to stabilize the position, including using a second round pick on one in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have just found the guy they've been looking for in former Utah kicker Matt Gay. The fifth round pick in this year's draft has been lighting it up at practice lately, dueling with veteran Cairo Santos for the starting job. The competition has turned into one of the more interesting storylines of training camp. But, as great as Gay has been in practice, it remained to be seen whether he could duplicate the success in game action. Well, tonight, Bucs fans found out firsthand what Gay can do. Take a look. #Bucs kicker alert! Matt Gay just drilled a 55-yarder.
