A retro bowling alley on Coolidge Highway, a gaming lounge where you can hang in downtown Royal Oak, a new warehouse club on 12 Mile and a progressive Roman Catholic Church in downtown Berkley are some of the new spots open or coming soon to southeast Oakland County. Royal Oak Whether it's the amber glass chandeliers or front counter that mimics the Brady Bunch orange and brown kitchen counters, retro is the signature feel of the 16-lane Bowlero Lanes & Lounge , at 4209 Coolidge Highway. New owners Kelly and Dean Elliott and partner Dave Zainea, one of the family members behind The Majestic and The Garden Bowl in Detroit, have transformed the 1957 bowling alley back to its retro glory with many of today's touches added in. "We've made it more accessible to strollers and wheelchairs, adding one lane where a wheelchair can access the lanes," Kelly Elliott said. Live music, a DJ and craft cocktails will be a mainstay in the retro lounge. Nearby is a niche featuring vintage video games and pinball. "We'll have a kitchenette to serve snacks but that will come a little later," Kelly Elliott said. Bowlero's expected to have a soft open in July, with a grand opening to follow at an undetermined date. Elliott, a school psychologist, is also putting plans in place for the bowling alley and its staff to receive special-needs training with the hope of it becoming a Certified Autism Center. "We want families to feel welcome here, so we're doing what we can to make that happen," she said. More amusements can be found at LFG Royal Oak , 617 S. Washington Ave. The name stands for lounge, food and games and very much resembles the comfortable setup of a friend's beloved basement but with a full-service restaurant on site. It opened in early June in a former art gallery. Large couches surround TVs equipped with Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One game consoles. Or patrons may play on 10 computers packed with electronic sports games. Owner Nicholas Stramaglia said he plans to stream live games, host tournaments and make it a place to feel comfortable "without having to clean up after yourself, like you would at your friend's," he said. "We have a game library but you can bring your own game if you want," he said. The 3,000-square-foot fun house seats about 60 patrons. It is alcohol free. Woodward Corners by Beaumont , at 13 Mile and Woodward, expects to have its first business open soon. Wahlburgers is awaiting final inspections, said Wahlburgers spokeswoman Colleen Robar. "All we know now is mid-July," for a target opening, she said. A call to the Birmingham Panera revealed its move to Woodward Corners has been pushed back to at least the end of August. New Order Coffee's sign has been erected, so progress continues. "The cafe will most likely open at the end of July or early August," said spokeswoman Jill Giacomino. "The location will be very similar to its Midtown location but there will be a few new pastry and coffee additions that will be debuted in Royal Oak." The 6,848-square-foot Brown Iron Brewhouse is projected to open in late November to mid December, said its Managing Member Patti Eisenbraun. Berkley Coco Fairfield's , the six-year-old breakfast and lunch diner at 2959 W. 12 Mile Road, is expanding into the closed Salon Tru space, which shuttered in March after owner Roxanne Hosko semi-retired. Coco Fairfield's owner Martin Miller purchased the space to increase seating capacity. The current location accommodates 35, while the expansion means 75 guests will be able to try the signature Coolidge Club sandwich (a traditional club with a trio of twists: avocado, chipotle mayo and sourdough bread) simultaneously. "We will add outdoor seating out back with an additional 24 seats there, too," Miller said. He also plans to offer catering and host after-hours events. Miller expects an August completion date. Pure Cure owner Wade Garbie is all about helping people. As a law enforcement officer   now in Wayne County as a part-time sheriff's deputy and previously as a 17-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department   he steps up when someone is hurting. He said he's continuing that as he opens two Pure Cure stores that sell Michigan-made CBD products made from hemp . One store is in Berkley, at 2880 Coolidge Highway, in a portion of the former Air Master Heating and Air Conditioning, and the other in Royal Oak, at 601 N. Main St., the site of a former pet supply store. CBD, or cannabidiol, is the concentrated liquid extract that's often sourced from hemp plants. Fans of it say it offers relief for various medical issues, including arthritis and anxiety, and it works on humans and pets. Most hemp products contain little or no THC, the "high" compound that marijuana has. Garbie believe customers will appreciate that he's contracted with a Dearborn Heights lab to create more than 26 different hemp-made products under the Pure Cure label, a move that helps him contain costs, passing the savings on to customers. "I do think people will find it comforting that I'm in law enforcement," Garbie said. He expects to open both locations in early July. Christ the Good Shepherd , a progressive church in the Catholic tradition, has moved from Ferndale to Berkley. It's at 3947 12 Mile Road, in a portion of the former Doll Hospital & Toy Soldier Shop, said Vivian Carmody, executive director of the Berkley Downtown Development Authority. If the name Sassy Sheek sounds familiar, that's because it is. Owner Sylvia Moncrief has reopened her upscale resale and consignment boutique at 4148 12 Mile Road, in the former Davob Pharmacy location, after a seven year absence. "We're still waiting for our store sign to replace the pharmacy one but we're open," Moncrief said. She shut the store abruptly in 2012 due to some emergency health issues but said she now now feels better than ever. Most of clothing she stocks is women's but there are some men's as well. She also carries shoes, purses, jewelry, hats and other accessories. "Right now we have limited plus-size clothing but we're looking to add to that," she said. She's also added personal styling services, where she takes appointments to go to a client's closet to help the owner repurpose, redesign and re-energize his or her wardrobe with the pieces he or she already owns. Friday nights promise some culture, too. Moncrief will be hosting poetry nights to enjoy while shopping. "I wrote a book of poetry while I was healing and this is a chance to merge that passion with my store," she said. Moncrief suggests parking at the nearby Mug & Jug Fine Wine and Spirits and using Sassy Sheek's rear entrance. Oak Park Ernie's Market , at 8500 Capital Street, is making history, opening Oak Park's first outdoor dining area at the 64-year-old sub shop. Owner and chief sandwich-maker Ernie Hassan has transformed an asphalt area next to the customer entrance with picnic tables, umbrellas, metal flower troughs and a colorful mural depicting a giant sub and the store's name. "I did this for the love of the community," Hassan said. The inspiration came as he noticed that his longtime customers were having tailgates in his parking lot or eating their take-out orders in their cars. His customer base has expanded after receiving a lot of national attention for his generous sandwiches. His shop has won Absolute Best Sandwich in Michigan by MSN.com , and Cheapest Eats in America by GoBankingRates.com . "I try to give customers the finest service and this is part of that," he said. Hassan completed a site development plan and turned in an outdoor dining application in May.

But in the back of the 750-square-foot boutique is the sewing room, where patrons receive alterations and tailoring services, even for custom formal wear. Co-owners Allison Kendzorski and Leah DiPace created a place to enjoy fun, bright vintage fashions and custom clothes, all in one. The shop opened in May. "Ferndale spoke to us and our clientele, and there aren't a lot of alterations in the area, so we're bringing a needed service to the area," Kendzorski said. Shelby Township-based Brooks Brewing opened its second microbrewery at 22925 Woodward Ave., in the space where P&A Scholars Beauty School used to be. As mentioned in Brian Manzullo's Free Press story , some of the flavors include a Peanut Buddy Porter, a chocolate coffee peanut butter porter at 5.8% ABV and Baba Yaga IPA. Wine is also on the menu. Only patrons 21 and older are admitted. More: Ferndale motel known for drugs, prostitution to become trendy apartments Hazel Park Latido at Joebar owners Joe and Cari Vaughn purchased the funeral home building near their spot and Mabel Gray about a year ago, Cari Vaughn said in an email. "We are in research and development of the property   but not yet ready to talk about the plans," she wrote. "We are so excited for the development across the street (CVS development) and that the city's plan of making (Hazel Park) a walkable city and slowing down John R makes us so happy. The city is making all of the right decisions and that is why we are so proud to be a part of HP growth." The pizzeria Two Guys from Italy permanently closed its 23725 John R Road location, according to its Facebook page. It's been a Hazel Park mainstay for 15 years, according to its website. There is another location in Royal Oak at 1111 N. Campbell Road. It remains open. More: Top 5 burgers to try in metro Detroit this summer Madison Heights A warehouse club that accepts all manufacturers' coupons? That dream is coming soon to Madison Heights when BJ's Wholesale Club opens in late 2019 at 29101 John R Road, at 12 Mile, said BJ's Wholesale Communications Manager Jennie Hardin in an email. The East Coast equivalent of Costco announced last year it's moving in to Michigan with stores in Madison Heights and Taylor. According to a June 22 Facebook post by one of its contractors, the opening will be in November, making holiday shopping more competitive. The 98,000-square-foot spot is known for beating supermarket prices on national brands, saving families 25% off grocery store prices before coupons, Hardin said. It's also a community partner, she said. BJ's donated $100,000 to Forgotten Harvest in December to increase access to fresh food for families in metro Detroit. Once the clubs open, BJ's will donate unsold produce, meat, dairy and more to the food rescue organization. Information on founding membership deals can be found at BJs.com/Michigan .

The DeLorean DMC-12 is a timeless machine that is famed for more than just its movie roles John DeLorean was a real visionary, with the imagination and determination that saw his dreams become reality. This notion is best summed up when he launched his own sports car company that produced the iconic DMC-12. This seemingly timeless machine is the stuff of dreams for many, but this great example in our classifieds could soon call your garage home. While it was arguably the Back to the Future movie franchise that made the DeLorean the immortal machine that it is today, it is deserving of its fame for many reasons. The distinctive stainless steel bodywork and Giugiaro wedge profile immediately gives this model star status, even amongst modern day sports cars. This 1981 model might be 38 years-old, but its futuristic design and great condition make it appear far newer   a real-life time machine. More American Classics - American Movie Cars - Is It Time To Buy Your Dream DeLorean DMC-12? Open those distinctive gullwing doors to reveal an immaculate cabin that's a sea of grey leather. A pair of bucket seats cosset occupants while its low and wide stance give the car a real sense of occasion. The only modification to the interior is the addition of a modern stereo, with the rest being as DMC intended. Its advert does state that the original stereo will also be provided. This DMC-12 has only covered 36,674 miles, or about 965 miles per year. Its numbers matching drivetrain consists of a 2.8-liter V6 engine, and a desirable five-speed manual transmission. The engine bay is show-ready after receiving a complete detail, with the aluminum motor now spotless. The DeLorean DMC-12 certainly had its flaws as a sports car, and DMC its own issues as a business, but as a collector car it has an almost unrivalled charisma. There's not many other cars that can draw a crowd like a DMC-12. With the new Framing John DeLorean movie in theatres and launching on some streaming services, we'd expect renewed interest in the already famous DMC-12. The asking price for this example is $54,990.


How many are Ferraris, and what other makes appear in this list? Following RM Sotheby's Petersen Automotive Museum sale, even the cheapest here is over $20m. There are rumors of Ferrari 250 GTOs having sold privately for £35 million, perhaps £40 million, and we now know that one has sold for a claimed $70 million (£52m). But the most accurate figures come from auctions. This year there have been three new entries to the top 10, with one already being shuffled back out after RM Sotheby's Petersen Automotive Museum December 2018 sale. See More: Maestro Turbo At Bicester Heritage Auction How To Import A Car From Australia Into The UK At Monterey Car Week in August, the highest price ever paid at auction was shattered by a 250 GTO Series II that reached $48,405,000. The day before, a Duesenberg SSJ Roadster sold for $22 million, making it the most expensive pre-war car and most expensive American car ever sold at auction. It's already been moved out of the top 10, with a Ferrari Classiche-certified 1956 Ferrari 290 MM previously raced by Formula 1 legends Juan Manuel Fangio, Peter Collins and Sir Stirling Moss selling for $22,005,000 in December. The figures in the Top 10 are shown in dollars first, because it is the currency of the top-price cars. However, the third-placed car, sold in Paris, does hold the record for the highest-priced car sold in euros or pounds sterling. You'll notice they're almost all Ferraris, with just an Aston Martin and a Mercedes-Benz breaking the Italian marque's stronghold on the top 10.


A 4-year-old child from the Netherlands was seen in Islamic State propaganda pictures. And it was his mother who shared the pictures with her former classmates. Hasna A., the 24-year-old mother, left her country for Syria in March and took her son, Noureddine, with her. The same child is now seen wearing an ISIS hat and camouflage in a number of photos. that Hasna sent the pictures to her schoolmates. She also sent pictures that showed daggers and pistols. She left a message that she was in an ISIS-controlled area and was not coming back home. Mayor Sander Schelberg of Hasna's hometown, Hengelo, said that this was just what he had feared. He said he was shocked to see the child in the picture . Hasna's father Said said his grandson, who has severe behavioral disorders and cannot speak, appears to be being trained to become an ISIS fighter. According to the Dutch paper Telegraaf , the child uses flash cards to communicate. The grandfather said that his daughter wanted to show via the pictures that she is happy. He communicates with his daughter through Skype. The child, in training to become a militant, may have strict guidelines to follow. Earlier footage earlier shows a masked ISIS militant beating recruits as punishment for smoking. The man hits some of them on the head with his assault rifle and whips some with a belt. The Mirror reports that ISIS considers smoking "un-Islamic." U.S.-led coalition forces suffered a heavy setback over the weekend as ISIS forces overran the Iraqi city of Ramadi. The New York Times reported that a sandstorm prevented U.S. warplanes from launching airstrikes. ISIS fighters used the time to launch a number of ground attacks as well as car bombings in and around Ramadi. U.S.-backed Iraqi forces were eventually overwhelmed and ran away. The weather made it difficult for pilots to distinguish between Iraqi and ISIS forces. Contact the writer: s.mukhopadhyay@ibtimes.com.au


With the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest , the Home Run Derby , and the Open Championship still lurking in the rearview, it's hard to believe that college football is just about a month away. Across the country, alma mater are slathering on the face paint and emptying the RV septic tanks. Preseason polls are finally starting to solidify, the call for EA Sports to revive "NCAA Football" has reached its annual crescendo and the players are returning to campuses from Boise to Baton Rouge for a steady diet of two-a-days and verbal abuse.

NIMES, France (AP)   A Tour de France jam-packed with unexpected plot twists is saving its biggest surprise for last. With six riders within reach of the podium heading into the toughest final stages in the Alps, the race that resumes Tuesday after the final off-day is tantalizingly poised. Furious racing over the first 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) through Belgium and France and the uncertain outcome ahead of the grand finale in Paris are conspiring to deliver the most engrossing Tour in recent memory. Like a summer rain, the suspense of still not knowing who will win with just six of the 21 stages remaining is exquisitely refreshing for cycling's greatest race after years of implacable domination by the uber-rich, super-calculating British Ineos team, formerly Sky. "Nobody is really controlling the race as such. It's way more exciting but it's more like chess in another sense. It's brilliant fun," Ineos team boss Dave Brailsford said on Monday's rest day. "We've sat here on the second day of a Grand Tour so many times and people say we've closed the race down and it's not been exciting. That's not been the case this time. It's fun to be involved in one of most exciting editions in a long time." Either one of Geraint Thomas, Ineos' struggling defending champion, or Thibaut Pinot, the French climber who rebounded in the Pyrenees from what had seemed a decisive loss of time on the flat before the mountains, could still ride up the Champs-Elysees in the iconic yellow jersey on Sunday. A Pinot victory would trigger delirium across France, which has had no homegrown champion to celebrate since Bernard Hinault in 1985 and suffered the indignity of many years when Lance Armstrong and other dopers hijacked the race that is as much part of the French national identity as romance and the baguette. But Thomas' Colombian teammate Egan Bernal or dark horses Steven Kruijswijk from the Netherlands and German rider Emanuel Buchmann could put French champagne back on ice. Making few waves and avoiding the misfortunes, mistakes and big off-color days that sank other riders' title hopes, they're very much in the podium picture. But their stealthy consistency could hit its limits in the Alps, where conservative riding might not be enough to win if Pinot and others attack, as expected. Just 39 seconds   practically nothing in cycling, where riders often lose minutes when they wilt on big climbs   separate Thomas, in second place overall, from Buchmann, in sixth. Kruijswijk is third, Pinot fourth and Bernal fifth. Missing from this script, of course, is the yellow jersey himself, France's sweetheart Julian Alaphilippe. His punchy, unpredictable style has endeared him to fans bored with the by-the-numbers wins that Sky, now Ineos, secured with Bradley Wiggins in 2012, four-time winner Chris Froome and, last year, with Thomas. But in the Pyrenees, Alaphilippe started to pay for the energies he expended in taking, losing, getting back, and then extending his race lead in weeks one and two. Having built up a lead of 2 minutes, 2 seconds over Thomas at the top of the Tourmalet, the first of seven climbs to above 2,000 meters (6,500 feet) at this Tour, Alaphilippe then cracked Sunday on the last ascent in the Pyrenees. His lead shrank to 1:35 and, most importantly, his ride appeared to signal that the even harder climbs to come in the Alps, where what remains of his lead could quickly melt away if he can't stay with the pace, might be beyond his limit. Another big unknown is whether uncharacteristic signs of weakness at Ineos, with Thomas off-color on the Tourmalet and his usually solid teammates not setting a punishing pace up climbs, were just blips or perhaps some sort of devilish rope-a-dope strategy cooked up by Brailsford that, in the Alps, will see the team return to its can't-catch-us best. Thomas talked a big game on the rest day, saying he hopes for an Alpine scrap with Pinot. "I'd love it, I'd relish it. Bring it on," he said. "The main thing is going into the Alps I feel motivated to try and finish this Tour off well. It's been a slightly up and down race compared to last year but the main thing is I finish strong and I'm itching to go a lot better." But the talking that counts will be done on the road. The Alpine stages from Thursday to Saturday will see the Tour ascend six times to above 2,000 meters in the three days, with two uphill finishes. The trilogy of pain for some, joy for others, will seal the podium placings before the ceremonial run-in to Paris, where there'll be tears of red, white and blue   either of delight or sorrow. Either way, the Tour can say something that has not always been true in recent years: there is still much more to come. ___ More Tour de France coverage: https://apnews.com/TourdeFrance


NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)   A decorated NYPD officer accused of hiring a hitman to kill her ex-husband and a child was formally charged in federal court in Central Islip on Friday. Officer Valerie Cincinelli, 34, entered a plea of not guilty to two counts of murder for hire and one count of obstruction of justice. Cincinelli was indicted Thursday on charges she tried to hire someone to kill her 32-year-old estranged husband and her current boyfriend's 15-year-old daughter . In addition, she is also accused of trying to cover her tracks by smashing the iPhones she allegedly used to order the hit . Cincinelli is an officer with the NYPD's Viper Unit, which monitors cameras in NYCHA buildings. WEB EXTRA : Read the complaint (.pdf) Cincinelli has made headlines before: Two years ago she helped foil a bank robbery in Queens. Now the NYPD officer is making news for all the wrong reasons. Prosecutors say the evidence is overwhelming. She allegedly "hatched and carried out a plot" in her Oceanside home to "hire a hitman to murder" an ex-husband and another man's daughter, according to prosecutors. In intercepted cell phone calls and on video she allegedly ordered the hits, plotting to kill the daughter as she left school. If convicted, Cincinelli faces up to 40 years in prison. She has repeatedly denied the charges.

We're all for rocking whatever hair , makeup , and nails make you happy, but we must admit: Each time New Year's approaches, we can't help but make a wish list of the beauty trends we'd like to sweep out of sight like last night's confetti. Here we count down the 14 beauty trends we're ready to ring out as 2014 wraps up. 13. The Accent Nail We've all had fun painting our ring (or whichever) finger a different color than the rest, for a cool color contrast, or maybe a subtle pop of non-tweeny glitter. But while the accent nail charmed us for a long time with its quirky cuteness and DIY ease, we're just not pinning it anymore. 12. Orange Lipstick Don't get us wrong, orange lipstick is definitely hot and a foolproof twist to more predictable red. It's just become so common over the course of 2014 that we're craving something new that excites us so much we want to run right out and buy a new tube. We're thinking the next look-at-me lipstick shade to go mainstream in this way might be purple either vivid or vampy. Stay tuned. 11. Bleached Brows There's been an ongoing case of disappearing brows among celebrities and models in 2014, led mainly by the fashion world. We admit that we too were transfixed as Kendall Jenner walked the Marc Jacobs fall 2014 runway with eerily absent eyebrows . Likewise for the models at Alexander Wang. Next Miley Cyrus and Karlie Kloss appeared on magazine covers with them, and Lily Aldridge posted a selfie with some . But if there were ever a sign that a trend has come full circle, it's this: At Kendall's birthday party last month, big sis Kim Kardashian showed up with bleached brows of her own (for a photo shoot) . Good. Now we can all move on to something else. 10. Ombré Hair Wait, don't freak out we're not suggesting a return to the days of diligent six-week highlight touchups, and telltale dark roots being a source of mild shame. Not a chance! Thanks to the move toward "sombré" (subtle ombré) hair color featuring a soft fade from light to dark is no longer just a trend but a flattering option that's here to stay (think Jessica Alba ). But the same can't be said for the more harsh two-tone ombré look. That trend just has to fizzle. 9. The Mani Cam When the E! network launched its red-carpet mani cam at the 2012 Emmy Awards, it was a mildly entertaining novelty; with the nail-art craze at its peak, everyone was dying to get a peek at stars' fingertips. Flash forward to 2014. Enthusiasm for wild nail art has waned, and watching famous people's fingers continue to strut the little mani-cam red carpet upon request ranges from sort of awkward to totally hilarious (see: the time Mad Men star Elizabeth Moss gave the cam the finger ). Here's a better idea: We hereby officially petition for a 360-degree updo cam in 2015. 8. Heavy Contouring Thanks to all the recent #BTS getting-ready photos tweeted by stars like Kim Kardashian , our eyes have been opened to the magical powers of contouring, and we'll never view makeup quite the same way. Turns out, even belovedly relatable Mindy Kaling employs the use of strategic light and dark face paint to amp up her bone structure for TV. The thing is, no matter how many YouTube tutorials we eagerly study, one harsh reality remains: Ain't nobody got time for that. Not most of us, anyway. So let's just slap some highlighter on the cheekbones and get on with life. 7. Undercuts Oh, wow the bottom half of your head is shaved? So surprising and covertly edgy! Two years ago. Now, not as much. We barely blinked when otherwise proper-seeming Gone Girl actress Rosamund Pike rocked an undercut with her updo recently. Time for someone to dream up a new statement haircut. 6. Flash Tattoos Talk about a flash-in-the-pan trend. Who knew we'd already be meh about the gold-foil temporary tattoos we first posted about in April and named a must-try trend of summer 2014 . Our obsession peaked around the time Queen Bey herself flashed some on Instagram early this fall, but in a classic case of beauty-trend OD, it all proved to be too much of a good thing. We're feeling a little flash-tat fatigue. Perhaps by next summer the passion will be reignited, but for now, we see this trend going the way of those once-ubiquitous shiny gold Minx nails. 5. White Eyeliner (Especially on Real Housewives) Using white or pale-nude eyeliner inside your lower lash line is a common trick that can brighten and open the eyes, but as we learned this year, it's not a tactic you should employ if starring on a reality-television show that features close-up interview shots. In the most recent Orange County and New Jersey seasons of Real Housewives , stars Tamra Barney and Amber Marchese ended up with glowing, white-rimmed eyes so spooky we just couldn't look away . Make it stop! Classic cases of a good makeup trick gone very, very wrong. 4. Instagram Hair Fake-Outs When Kaley Cuoco posed next to a pair of shears in April, trying to trick us all into thinking she'd cut her hair before she actually had, we should have known to be skeptical. We'd been Insta-fooled into thinking a star had chopped or dyed her hair before most blatantly by Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie (who went purple using Photoshop before doing the deed for real) and more subtly, by the likes of Kendall Jenner (who posed for a selfie with hair behind her shoulders to hint that it was way shorter). Now we know to wait for further evidence before freaking over celebrity hair news delivered via Instagram. But enough with the hair-news pranks, Hollywood. You're killing us over here. 3. Haircut-Tease Instagrams On a similar note, it seems like every day we see another celebrity haircut-debut photo in our social media feeds. When any long-haired star gets a major chop (which is one beauty trend we love ), what's the first thing she does? Instagram a just-a-tease shot featuring a tousled back of the head, usually along with some haircutting shears and a caption calling out the celebrity hairstylist responsible for the look. It's all very exciting, and we eagerly wait for a better look of the hairstyle. But only sometimes does a decent shot of the cut follow; usually we have to wait weeks to see the new look on a red carpet (looking at you, Lauren Conrad ). Enough already, ladies! Either show us the haircut or don't. 2. Claw Nails Longish, almond-shaped nails have grown on us (well, not literally, in most cases but we do love how they look on more committed nail-growers). But there's a point when they get so long and/or so pointed at the tip that all we can think of are claws, and we try to imagine how one types or wipes oneself safely. Definitely fierce, but not our favorite trend of the moment. 1. Down-to-There Extensions Yes, faux hair can be a really wonderful thing. With more and more stars embracing shorter haircuts, however, this seems like a good moment for others to bid adieu to the waist-length extensions they've worn for years. We totally get the Barbie-doll appeal of the look, but whenever one of these celebs lets us glimpse her natural hair, it's so refreshing and inspiring. Why carry around all that high-maintenance beauty baggage? You're just as beautiful without it.


A Missouri state lawmaker says local companies are committing fraud by falsely claiming to have Native American connections to get minority contracts. The comments come after the Los Angeles Times reportedly uncovered that around $300 million in local, state and federal contracts have gone to these businesses. One is the Northern Cherokee Nation , based in Clinton and led by Kenn "Grey Elk" Descombes. Its members have received government contracts, including from Kansas City, because of minority status, but it is not a federally recognized tribe. "This sort of issue has sort of flown under the radar for a very long time," Los Angeles Times reporter Adam Elmahrek said. Elmahrek and reporter Paul Pringle say NCN, along with the Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri, based in Mansfield, Missouri, and the Northern Cherokee Nation of the Old Louisiana Territory, based in Columbia, Missouri, have all received government contracts despite having no federal recognition. "Their ancestors were recorded as white in every government record that we could locate," Elmahrek said. Combined, those contracts total $303.8 million according to the LA Times. Rep. Rocky Miller, a Republican from Lake Ozark, is a citizen of the federally recognized Cherokee Nation and said he was familiar with NCN but not with how many contracts the three tribes had received. He's since filed a complaint with the state attorney general's office. "That was a shock to me, and what was an even bigger shock was when I found out how much money we were talking about," Miller said. Kansas City has certified three businesses from the tribes, according to the Times. A city spokesperson told KMBC 9 News that American Legacy Construction in Lee's Summit, affiliated with NCN, has received $3,676,027 in Kansas City contracts since it was certified in 2010, including contracts it's currently still working on. The Times said it has totaled more than $19 million in government contracts so far. P&D Excavating was certified by Kansas City in 2005 for being affiliated with the Northern Cherokee Tribe of Arkansas and Missouri, and has received two city contracts for a total of $31,450, according to a Kansas City spokesperson. "They have absolutely no backing. It's a slap in the face to actual Native Americans," Miller said. "I also think it's fraud and I think something should be done about it." A Kansas City spokesperson said they were unable to find the name of the third certified business. The LA Times said the city told reporters that it could not release it. While the LA Times says St. Louis is in the process of decertifying five companies, Kansas City does not plan to decertify any of the three. In a statement, the city said: "Our process focuses on individuals, and we recognize that the BIA list of tribes is not the only measure of whether an individual claims Native American ancestry. We accept other genealogical documentation, including tribal records, sworn affidavits, enrollment in Native American schools, etc., and grant certification on a case-by-case basis. Our compliance staff has reviewed the certifications and finds no reason to decertify those companies." "It's a shame," Miller said of Kansas City's decision to allow the businesses their keep their certifications. "They're committing fraud, and by allowing them to this, they are perpetuating the theft of heritage from the Native Americans" Miller said he was stunned the Missouri Department of Transportation has awarded $37 million in minority contracts to Columbia Curb and Gutter , based in Columbia, which claims to be a disadvantaged business. The LA Times said the business has no connection with a federally recognized tribe. While Miller said there's no process to become a state-recognized tribe, MoDOT says the Federal Highway Administration told it a state proclamation from lawmakers qualified the Northern Cherokee National of the Old Louisiana Territory. "I think that that is a real problem," Miller said. "I can't believe that anybody who does this and makes money off of it is not purposefully perpetuating a crime." MoDOT told KMBC 9 News on Friday that it plans to continue contracting out with Columbia Curb and Gutter. American Legacy Construction and Descombes of Northern Cherokee Nation declined interviews. The attorney general's office said the complaint is under review and urges anyone who feels they've been defrauded to submit a complaint.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will have a chance to add some more trophies to his growing collection. Mahomes is up for two awards at this year's ESPYs show: Best Male Athlete Best NFL Player His competition in Best Male Athlete category includes Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts, golfer Brooks Koepka and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. His competition in Best NFL Player category includes Rams DT Aaron Donald, Rams RB Todd Gurley and Saints QB Drew Brees. Click the links above and vote for Mahomes in each category. In addition to those two awards, the epic Chiefs vs. Rams game from Week 11 of the 2018 season is up for the Best Game honor. The Rams defeated the Chiefs by a score of 54-51 at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The game was originally scheduled to take place in Mexico City before it was moved to Los Angeles. It seems like a bit of an oversight not to include Mahomes' no-look pass against the Ravens or his left-handed throw against the Broncos in the Best Play category. I guess ESPN doesn't want the awards show suffering from Mahomes fatigue. He should have a pretty good chance to take home both the awards he's nominated for after an incredible MVP season in 2018. The awards show will air on Wednesday, July 10 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. It will be hosted by comedian Tracy Morgan, so it should be good for some laughs too.

Google wants to give people an easier way to delete their personal data. On Wednesday, the Alphabet-owned company said it's adding auto-delete tools for location history data, as well as web browsing and app activity. The feature will be available in the coming weeks. "We work to keep your data private and secure, and we've heard your feedback that we need to provide simpler ways for you to manage or delete it," the company said in a blog post . Google's new auto-delete feature lets users select how long they want their activity data to be saved for: three months or 18 months. Then, data will be automatically deleted from a user's account after that amount of time, according to the company. Google already offered tools to delete all or part of users' location history or web and app activity data, but it had to be done manually. (The manual option will still be available). The move comes as people are increasingly concerned about their privacy online. Following a string of recent privacy scandals, tech companies including Google and Facebook are under heightened scrutiny over how much data they collect about users and what they do with it. Facebook announced a similar feature called Clear History last year, which would let users manually delete their cookies and history. However that feature has been delayed. At a recent press event about "integrity" on the platform, Facebook executive Guy Rosen said the tool is now expected to launch this fall.


CINCINNATI (AP) Jose Iglesias has been drawing rave reviews all season for his nifty glove work. He contributed nicely at the plate Monday, too. The slick-fielding Iglesias hit his first career grand slam off Mitch Keller in the right-hander's major league debut, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-1 Monday for a split of their day-night doubleheader. ''Every time you get such a lead, it doesn't hurt,'' Iglesias said. ''I put a good swing on it to put my team in position to win the game. It feels good. I did it with the bat this time.'' Iglesias' homer was part of a six-run first. Derek Dietrich and Yasiel Puig added back-to-back homers in the seventh against Alex McRae. Pittsburgh rallied for an 8-5 victory in the opener, going ahead to stay when Bryan Reynolds hit a tiebreaking two-run triple in the Pirates' four-run eighth inning. Kyle Crick (2-1) got four outs for the win, and Felipe Vazquez earned his 14th save. The doubleheader was scheduled after the Pirates-Reds game March 30 was rained out. Cincinnati jumped all over Keller (0-1). Nick Senzel walked, Jesse Winker singled and Eugenio Suarez walked to load the bases with no outs in the first. After Dietrich struck out, Puig singled in a run and Iglesias hit a drive to left-center for his fourth homer this season. Senzel also had an RBI single in the inning as the Reds sent 11 batters to the plate while Keller was throwing 41 pitches. ''We knew we had an opportunity in the first inning,'' Reds manager David Bell said. ''The grand slam was huge. Their pitcher settled down and actually did a good job for them.'' Keller, one of Pittsburgh's top prospects, allowed seven hits, struck out seven and walked two in four innings. ''The first inning didn't go the way I wanted it to, but I thought I responded well,'' the 23-year-old said. ''The first inning, I was a little amped up and my offspeed pitches weren't as crisp as they were in the second, third and fourth innings.'' ''He got punched hard early,'' Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. ''The hole he dug was awful deep. He got better as he went on. He held his poise and stayed aggressive.'' Cincinnati's fast start was more than enough support for Sonny Gray (2-4), who pitched six innings of one-run ball. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two in his second straight win. The doubleheader opener was tied at 4 before Reynolds' one-out liner off David Hernandez (1-3) drove in Cole Tucker and Adam Frazier. Starling Marte followed with a shot to center for his sixth homer, lifting Pittsburgh to an 8-4 lead. ''A runner on second, late in the game, you want to do something to drive him in,'' Reynolds said of his first career triple. ''It's always nice to mark things off your list.'' Hernandez felt he was close to escaping the situation. ''I thought I had Reynolds struck out,'' Hernandez said. ''I didn't get the call. I didn't think he swung, but I thought I caught the bottom of the zone.'' Josh Bell hit his 17th homer for Pittsburgh in Game 1. He has 11 this month, tops in the majors. Vazquez replaced Crick with the bases loaded in the eighth and struck out Senzel, ending the inning. Vazquez then worked the ninth, yielding a sacrifice fly to Curt Casali before coaxing Puig into a game-ending groundout. Joey Votto had three hits for Cincinnati in his fourth consecutive multihit game. Suarez finished with three hits and two RBIs in the opener CLIMBING Votto's three hits in the opener left him tied with Brandon Phillips for eighth on Cincinnati's career hits list with 1,774. His double left him tied with Johnny Bench for fourth on the franchise's career doubles list with 381. WORTH NOTING Cincinnati had lost six in a row against Pittsburgh before taking the nightcap. MAKING MOVES The Pirates brought up right-handers McRae and Richard Rodriguez from Triple-A Indianapolis. They also acquired Yefry Ramirez in a trade with Baltimore for a player to be named or cash, and then assigned him to Indianapolis. McRae pitched three innings in Game 2. Rodriguez worked a scoreless ninth while serving as the 26th man for the doubleheader. Right-hander Dovydas Neverauskas was sent down to Indianapolis, and outfielder Corey Dickerson was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Minor league right-hander Jesus Liranzo was designated for assignment. Right-hander Montana DaRapau was optioned to Indianapolis before the nightcap to make room for Keller. NO. 26 The Reds added lefty Cody Reed as their 26th player for the doubleheader. He tossed two innings in Game 2. TRAINER'S ROOM Reds: LHP Alex Wood has rejoined the team after spending the season at extended spring training in Arizona working out tightness in his lower back. He has started a throwing program that eventually will lead to bullpen sessions, followed by a rehab assignment. UP NEXT Pirates: RHP Jordan Lyles (5-1, 2.81 ERA) will try to improve to 5-1 in his 16th career game and ninth start against the Reds on Tuesday. Reds: RHP Lucas Sims will be recalled from Triple-A Louisville to start on Tuesday. --- More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports

He was a skinny teenager who weighed 112 pounds when he landed in Normandy, France on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Over the next 11 months, enduring scorching sun and frigid cold, 18-year-old George Ciampa and his companions from the 607th Graves Registration Company were responsible for the dead. They buried the bodies of German and American soldiers. If they were lucky, they were given gloves. Across five campaigns in France, Belgium and Germany, from the Normandy invasion, through the Battle of the Bulgeacross five campaigns to the end of the war in Europe, Ciampa took stock of the fallen, recovered their personal items, put their bodies in mattress covers and buried them in temporary graves. Eventually, a couple of weeks after the Normandy invasion, the toll of the work overcame him. He broke down. "A lieutenant pulled out his .45 pistol and says, 'You get your ass back out there this second,' " Ciampa recalled. "We were not babied. There was a war going on, and it was going on every day." The unit gathered about 75,000 corpses. "It was very difficult to look at the faces, at the bodies. You kind of worked like a robot around them," Ciampa recalled. The stench clung to his clothes. His mouth was always dry from constantly spitting. Seventy-five years after D-Day   code-named Operation Overlord   Ciampa and seven veterans will return to Normandy in June to commemorate the invasion that broke the Nazis' hold on France and set the stage for Europe's liberation. Now 93 years old, Ciampa is making a documentary to keep alive the events of a war whose horrors and heroics are remembered by a dwindling number of veterans. Every year, there are fewer WWII veterans like Ciampa. Of the 16 million Americans who served, about 496,770 were alive in 2018, according to Veterans Affairs figures collected by the National WWII Museum . Every day, on average, 348 die. And every year, young people know less about the horrors of the Holocaust. Last year, a study commissioned by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany revealed that 66% of U.S. millennials didn't know what the Auschwitz concentration camp was. Four out of 10 believed 2 million or fewer Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust, when the actual number is about 6 million. It's a historical disconnect that may have dire consequences . Hate crimes have spiked nationwide. Between 2014 and 2017, anti-Semitic attacks rose 54%, the FBI estimates. A recent survey published by the Southern Poverty Law Center found that most incidents of hate and bias in schools are unreported and go without discipline. Teenagers have documented themselves making Nazi salutes and posing with swastikas shaped out of red plastic cups. Last year, several Ojai middle school students lay on a field together to form the shape of a swastika . Volker Benkert, an assistant professor of history at Arizona State University, called that behavior the "ultimate publication for attention." As veterans, Holocaust survivors and perpetrators die, their stories will be relegated to cultural memory, he said, which have less impact than the lived experiences of individuals. "Sending Holocaust survivors, veterans and liberators to schools has been a game changer, and we will be robbed of that opportunity very soon," he said. It's as Gordon "Nick" Mueller, president and CEO emeritus of the National WWII Museum, said: "Every time a veteran dies, a library burns." Ciampa has made it his life's mission to share the stories of the men and women who participated in World War II. He founded the nonprofit organization Let Freedom Ring in 2006 with the intention of reaching high school students to teach them about what he calls "the high cost of freedom." He's talked to thousands in the U.S., France and Belgium in the last decade. He feels obligated to share his experiences, to explain to people what those words mean and how many 18-, 19- and 20-year-old men were killed. How many never got to have a girlfriend, get married or have children. They're the reason he chose to make his sixth and last documentary, "D-Day Veterans Return to Normandy   75 Years Later." "I gotta talk about the guys that gave their lives, the guys who came out of it badly wounded," Ciampa said he told himself. Ciampa, a former Times display advertising salesman and special features manager, said people like him can do only so much. "It's up to the schools. It's up to the universities," he said. "All I can do is talk to kids in schools." Ciampa, who was born in Boston, didn't talk about the war when he returned to the U.S. Not to his children. Not to his wife. The trauma was too deep, the horror too vivid. To this day, he still sees the faces of the dead. Photo gallery by Business Insider It wasn't until 50 years after the Normandy invasion, during his first trip back since the war, that Ciampa was ready to recount to his family what he had witnessed, or to contact others he had fought alongside. When Ciampa returned to France, he walked alone for a while in a Normandy cemetery. Passing the white crosses and Stars of David, he wondered which graves bore the bodies of the men he recovered. "I wanted to forget the war. I just wanted to forget everything about it," Ciampa said. But he remembers that first dayof the invasion in 1944 as if it were yesterday. "When we got there, there was four or five thousand ships. You could see ships all around you. We could hear the Germans shooting at us, hear the shelling above us" from weapons called Screaming Mimis, he said. Overhead, they screeched before hitting ships. He remembers a tanker blowing up. Hundreds of shells loaded with explosives wailed above, day and night. Fate, Ciampa said, is why he survived. He returned to the U.S. on Jan. 13, 1946, and was discharged days later. With him he brought a rifle, three pistols, a German helmet and motorcycle goggles with shattered glass lenses. He also brought paratrooper knives, a bag of German money, a fragment of a shell that almost hit him. He keeps most of the items in a black storage trunk tucked in a closet in his Torrance home. Inside the house, in his son's former bedroom, he keeps his more valued war possessions: appreciation certificates, honors, medals and awards, including the Meritorious Unit Commendation wreath, the Legion of Honour (France's highest merit), and the Croix de Guerre, given by the French government to those who distinguished themselves by acts of heroism. These days, Ciampa and his wife divide their time between their Torrance and Palm Springs homes. Day and night, the tall veteran keeps busy organizing, fundraising and preparing for his next trip to Normandy. After almost a century of life he walks with a shuffle, but his memory has not been dulled by the passage of time. He wrote lyrics for a waltz that will be featured in the documentary. With a deep and steady voice, he sings: "When we were here in '44, it wasn't fun because it was war. Ships all around us, shelling above us, Oh Lord let us get to the shore. When we were here in Normandy, it was in France, the invasion was not planned by chance. Thousands would die here and many without fear…. Oh Lord, let us win this damn war."

The Columbus Blue Jackets made a huge statement at the 2019 NHL Trade Deadline, by keeping their two biggest pending UFA's, and traded for more pieces to make a run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Blue Jackets pulled off the huge upset of sweeping the NHL's top team, the Tampa Bay Lightning. They then lost to the Boston Bruins in the second round in six games. With the Blue Jackets being eliminated from the playoffs, all the questions shift to free agency, and who will re-sign in Columbus. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, a pending unrestricted free agent, looks like he could be on his way out of town, having just sold his Columbus condo. Another sign he's out of here: #CBJ goalie Sergei Bobrovsky selling Columbus condo for $2.95 million https://t.co/npiY9fEAOJ   Randy Ludlow (@RandyLudlow) May 10, 2019 Bobrovsky sold his condo for $2.9 million, suggesting that he will not be re-signing in Columbus come July 1st. Bobrovsky has been relatively quiet on the topic of free agency, but rumors have been circling that he will not be a Blue Jacket next season, and this only strengthens the case. There was speculation approaching the trade deadline that the Florida Panthers were his preferred destination , and the report is still that he wants to play in Florida. His fit as a Panther may push them into the playoffs immediately. Bobrovsky and Panarin came out to thank fans. They stayed and took pictures and even gave out hugs. Thank you @9Artemi and @SergeiBobrovsky ❤ #cbj pic.twitter.com/wgetfQMYdD   Lindsey Cussen (@JacketsLindsey) May 7, 2019 An even more telling sign that he will be leaving; he along with upcoming free agent Artemi Panarin stayed outside the arena after their Game 6 loss to the Bruins to sign autographs and take pictures with fans, almost signaling a goodbye to the fans of the team, and furthering the likeliness that there is a shift happening in Columbus.

The other day the New York Mets designated the ineffective   and frustrated   Keon Broxton for assignment. I would've bet a decent sum that Broxton would just be released at the end of all of that but they found a trade partner: the Orioles, who just acquired Broxton from the Mets for $500,000 in international bonus money. Not a bad haul, really, all things considered. Broxton was batting .143/.208/.163 in 53 plate appearances. Getting half a million extra bucks to spend on an international free agent is worth more than that production, that's for sure. As for the Orioles: they have nothing to lose. Why not see if a chance of scenery and a better fit gives them something   anything   out of Broxton. Follow @craigcalcaterra Related slideshow: 2019 MLB season (Provided by imagn)


Let's get real, Phil Mickelson says, as he describes the new diet he has been on to lose 15 pounds before this week's British Open. In a video he posted on social media on Sunday, Mickelson says he took a "hard reset" over the last 10 days. Dressed in a black hat, T-shirt and gym shorts, Mickelson sounds earnest while holding his tumbler and speaking into the camera for the 47-second video. "I haven't posted anything because I haven't felt good about myself and the way I've been playing, and so I haven't done anything or wanted to be in public," Mickelson says. Lefty, who turned 49 last month, says he lost the weight by fasting for six days and drinking a special coffee blend for wellness. He also has been on a bit of a retreat, although he doesn't give details about what that means. "I don't know if it's going to help me play better or not, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to try to get my best back," he says. Let's get real for a minute. I haven't been my best and I'm doing all I can to get it right. I'll have more Phireside chats soon as well as a fun new series too. Until then, HIT 's pic.twitter.com/QrqUpThEeV - Phil Mickelson (@PhilMickelson) July 14, 2019 The 2013 British Open champion has missed the cut in three of his last four tournaments and finished T-52 at the U.S. Open last month. Mickelson has discussed going on different diets in the past. After being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and struggling in 2010, he went on a strict vegetarian diet. "I was a strict vegetarian for five months, and that went OK but ultimately, it was doomed to fail," he said in 2011 . "I learned a lot from that as far as eating habits and diet and so I've implemented a lot of the things from that. "I continue to eat a lot more vegetables than I have in the past and I'm trying to have a better balance now than instead of all protein." He's also done the Paleo diet, which means cutting out gluten, sugar and processed foods. "I think it's how we were designed to eat. You have to wonder how a Twinkie can have a five year shelf life. That can't be good for your performance," Sean Cochran, his strength and conditioning coach in 2015, told Golf Digest .

Two words: Hair loss. Guys talk about it all the time, but women? Not so much. Now, influencer Dani Austin is changing that. Austin recently posted an emotional video to YouTube. It opens with her crying in the car, saying through tears, "I'm frustrated with myself because I don't want to care so much." She goes on to say, "I'm just embarrassed." Then the camera flashes to outside of the car, and we see that she's sitting in the parking lot of a wig shop. RELATED: 21 Reasons Why You're Losing Your Hair Austin then explained that her hair has been slowly falling out and thinning for years. She doesn't know exactly what caused her hair loss, but she pins the blame on a combination of factors particularly a habit she had in college of pulling out her hair when she was stressed. After a hair-pulling episode, she would bleach her hair or get extensions to try to cover it up, which she now realizes she may have made things worse in the long run. Earlier this year, she noticed that her hair seemed to be falling out more than usual. So after many tears, her husband finally suggested she look into wigs. "I felt really uncomfortable when he suggested that because I didn't know anything about wigs. It was a totally foreign concept to me," she says in the video. Getting her first wig was a very emotional experience for Austin, as the clip shows. "When I first started to deal with it, I was like, I want to quit. I don't want to show my face on Instagram or YouTube ever again. What are people going to say? They're going to now call me the wig girl, or make fun of it, or maybe sometimes it'll be off [center] and people will say something about it," she said. RELATED: 9 Ways To Help Thicken Up Your Fine (or Thinning) Hair But that was a few months ago. Now she owns two wigs (which she named Kim and Stephanie) and is in the process of growing her wig closet and experimenting with different styles. From the beginning, she said she wanted to get to a point where she could share her hair loss and wigs with the world and have fun with her personal experience, and that's exactly what she's done. "I don't really have any specific talents on my platform," Austin tells Health . "I'm not a singer or a dancer. I'm not really good at makeup or really good at hair. But I was like, this is going to be my talent, it's going to be my thing, just using my life stories and what I go through to try to help other people." She's added "The girl w/ da wig" to her Instagram bio and posted stories of her trying on different wigs that she ordered on Amazon (including a long pink one). She's also shared her new wig closet accessories, like a wig tripod and, of course, wig hangers. "I now say that my hair doesn't own me, I own my hair," Austin says. "That Ariana Grande lyric is my new motto. 'You like my hair? Gee thanks. Just bought it.'" RELATED: 8 Products You Need For Shiny Hair


Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku is alleged to have been informed by the club that he can leave Old Trafford this summer, with Inter in particular linked with a move for the Belgian. Lukaku scored 27 goals in his debut season for United in 2017/18 after joining in a deal worth £75m plus add-ons, but a disappointing second year has brought serious doubt about his future. The player himself has semi-regularly flirted with the idea of moving to Italy and playing in Serie A, while United's failure to secure Champions League football could also be a motivating factor. Earlier this week, it was claimed by the media in Italy that Lukaku had accepted a pay cut to potentially sign for Inter and link up with incoming San Siro boss Antonio Conte, whom he came very close to joining at Chelsea just days before winding up at United instead. Now, a report from The Sun alleges that Lukaku 'was told he can leave' by United officials after cutting short his summer holiday in America for 'showdown talks' with the club on Wednesday. The tabloid story notes that United will sanction a deal if an offer comes in that is worth 'just over' the £75m they paid Everton in 2017. Inter are named as being interested, but so are reigning eight-time back-to-back Italian champions Juventus . United chief Ed Woodward is tipped to reject any offer less than that. But this is where it gets confusing and the reports start to conflict. The Sun claims that Woodward would entertain a lower offer if a proposal, from Inter specifically, includes players, and notes that United have previously held interest in Milan Skriniar and Ivan Perisic. But the Italian report from Gazzetta dello Sport cited earlier, suggested that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no interest in Perisic, nor does he want Mauro Icardi in part exchange. Whether Inter could offer players the Norwegian would want remains unclear, but the likelihood of them being able to meet the asking price for Lukaku with cash alone appears slim.


WASHINGTON   A spokesman for former President Bill Clinton said Monday that Clinton "knows nothing" about Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes after the billionaire financier pleaded not guilty to sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan federal court. "President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York," according to a statement tweeted by Clinton's press secretary Angel Ureña . Epstein was arrested Saturday on sex-trafficking charges dating back to the 2000s, according to the Associated Press . On Monday, Epstein pleaded not guilty to one count of sex trafficking and one count of sex-trafficking conspiracy, which stem from accusations dating to 2002-2005. According to the federal indictment, Epstein "sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes" in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida, along with other locations. He also allegedly paid some of his victims to recruit more underage girls, according to the indictment. Epstein's lawyers argued that the matter had been settled a decade ago with a plea deal in Florida. "This is ancient stuff," Epstein attorney Reid Weingarten said Monday in court, calling the case essentially a "redo" by the government. In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to state charges of soliciting and procuring a person under age 18 for prostitution, which could have led to a lifetime in prison if prosecuted, the AP reported. Epstein was sentenced for 13 months in jail, under a non-prosecution agreement overseen by federal authorities in Florida. He was also required to reach financial settlements with dozens of his once-teenage victims and register as a sex offender. Epstein has been tied to Clinton and President Donald Trump . In addition to being fellow residents of Palm Beach   where Trump's Mar-a-Lago property is located   the president and Epstein socialized together before Trump's 2016 election. On Saturday, Trump biographer Tim O'Brien tweeted this 2002 quote by the future president, taken from a New York Magazine profile: "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." An attorney for the Trump Organization has said Trump had " 'no relationship' " with Epstein, the Washington Post reported Monday. But, the Post also reported that "outside of Trump's own words, there is clear evidence that the two men   both members of the same highflying social worlds in Manhattan and Palm Beach   socialized together in the past." Clinton's spokesperson said in the statement that the former president had taken a total of four trips on Epstein's private airplane between 2002 and 2003, one to Europe, one to Asia and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Statement on Jeffrey Epstein. pic.twitter.com/98ha9YYd1l   Angel Ureña (@angelurena) July 8, 2019 According to the statement, staff, Clinton Foundation supporters, and Clinton's Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip. In addition, in 2002 Clinton also had a meeting with Epstein at the former president's Harlem office and one brief visit to Epstein's New York apartment, where a staff member and Clinton's security detail were present. "He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida," the statement concluded.

The Bills spent the offseason rebuilding their offensive line, and that process has continued as injuries hit during training camp. The team announced that veteran free agent tackle LaAdrian Waddle was placed on injured reserve after tearing his quad in Sunday's practice. To replace him on the roster, they signed tackle Jarron Jones. Jones was released by the Lions in May. He went to camp with the Giants in 2017 as an undrafted rookie defensive tackle from Notre Dame, but spent time on the Seahawks practice squad that year and converted to offense. He has also been with the Cowboys and Buccaneers practice squads. He has not appeared in a regular season game. The Bills had to sign Nico Siragusa last week after Isaac Asiata retired, which was the latest transaction up front after they spent the offseason harvesting new blockers.
