A year after finding that American's knowledge of the Holocaust was waning and less than a week after another shooting inside a synagogue , a new survey says Austrians might also be forgetting the genocide. More than half of Austrians surveyed didn't know six million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust, with nearly 60% of millennials and Generation Z not knowing the death toll, either. Furthermore, a quarter of Austrians and almost a third of its millennials and Gen Z-ers thought one million or fewer Jews were killed. "The results were deeply disturbing because it reflects really a distortion of historical events as time goes on," said Greg Schneider, executive vice president of the Conference of Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. Last year, a similar survey in the United States found almost a third of Americans and 41% of millennials incorrectly believed two million or fewer Jewish people died. In Austria, those numbers were slightly higher: 36% of all Austrians and 42% of millennials and Gen Z-ers thought two million or fewer Jews were killed. The results come as anti-Semitism continues to rise around the world. In 2017, the United States saw a 57% spike from the year before in incidents motivated by anti-Jewish bias , according to the Anti-Defamation League. And on International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January, António Guterres , secretary-general of the United Nations, warned that "this centuries-old hatred is not only still strong   it is getting worse." In the United States: On Holocaust Remembrance Day, a reminder that we're forgetting the world's worst genocide Just over the weekend, a gunman opened fire at Chabad of Poway during Passover services, killing one person and injuring three others on the six month anniversary of the deadly Tree of Life synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh. "The problem is without really understanding things like the Holocaust ... you don't understand the possibility of unchecked hatred," Schneider said. 'Frightening' findings The survey on Austrians' knowledge of the Holocaust was published Thursday on Yom HaShoah, Israel's day of remembrance for the Holocaust observed by many Jews around the world. It's the third in a series by the Claims Conference that has shown shortcomings in public knowledge on Holocaust history. The previous surveys found similar gaps in the United States and Canada. Among the other findings in Austria: 42% of people couldn't name Mauthausen concentration camp when asked to list death camps, concentration camps or ghettoes. Mauthausen   just 100 miles from Austria's capital Vienna   was a concentration camp that the Nazi's themselves thought was among their most brutal concentration camps, said Yariv Lapid, director of the Levine Institute for Holocaust Education at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. 15,000 murders a day: August-October 1942 were the Holocaust's deadliest months, study says Lapid called the finding "pretty frightening" and one that highlights the "ambivalence" toward deeper understandings of Holocaust history in the country. "Of course we assume that people in Austria would know just off the top of their head about a concentration camp in Austria," Schneider added. "To not know it really reflects the fact that it is not part of the national conversation." In March 1938, German troops entered Austria and the country was incorporated into Germany. According to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum , most Austrians supported the union, known as the Anschluss. In the 1990s, Austrian leaders began to formally acknowledge the role the country played in the genocide. However, the survey found that 68% of Austrians think the country was both a victim and a perpetrator of the Holocaust, which Schneider described as "a flipping perception among Austrians of what really happened." While 12% still said they thought Austria was only a victim, Lapid said that number is much lower than it might have been 20 years ago. 'Inappropriate': Model spurs backlash for posting Holocaust memorial selfie, defends herself "Imagine how difficult it is to understand that your own father or grandfather was a mass murderer," Lapid said. "It is a history that is really difficult to imagine. ... You want to turn your head away." Holocaust education One bright spot of the survey, Schneider and Lapid said, was that public support for better Holocaust education is high in Austria. Three-fourths of the surveyed Austrians said part of the reason Holocaust education is still needed is so that something like it doesn't happen again. Just over half said that while teachings about the genocide are mostly historically accurate, improvements could be made. However, a grimmer picture remains when looking at Austrians' views of political realities around the globe. Thirty-eight percent say they thought National Socialism/Nazism could come to power again, with that belief even higher among millennials and Generation Z at 43%. More than half of Austrians said something like the Holocaust could happen again in Europe, and 47% said it could happen in the United States. More than a third said also that there are many neo-Nazis in Austria today, and half of Austrians thought the United States had many neo-Nazis today. 'Nazis are here again': He hid in a storeroom during Tree of Life shooting. Now, he feels unsafe in home In California, where a hate-fueled attack at Chabad of Poway left Lori Gilbert-Kaye dead and three others injured, police say the gunman had posted an online "manifesto" in which he criticized Jews and praised the killings of Muslims at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Schneider says acts like the one near San Diego aren't isolated incidents and better understanding the causes behind the Holocaust are crucial for understanding the causes of all hate. "It's not only about Jews. What happens to Jews happens to other people," he said. "Within the past month, we've witnessed murder at a mosque in New Zealand, churches in Sri Lanka, and a synagogue in San Diego," he added. "The lessons of the Holocaust are needed more now than ever before."

The wide receiver position will be among the most interesting to watch play out both ahead of and during the 2019 season for the Tennessee Titans. Newly signed Adam Humphries and rising star Corey Davis are expected to be the most effective, with the likes of Taywan Taylor, Darius Jennings, Cameron Batson and Tajae Sharpe all competing to make an impact behind them. There's a curious statistic to look into for the latter. Sharpe totaled 26 receptions on the 2018 season. Of this total, 22 catches resulted in first downs. ESPN's Turron Davenport took to Twitter to make note of this on Friday morning. Interesting stat for #Titans WR Tajae Sharpe. He had 26 receptions last year. 22 of them resulted in first downs. - TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) May 10, 2019 In 2018, Sharpe was targeted 47 times by quarterback Marcus Mariota. He turned 26 of those into receptions for a total of 316 yards, averaging 12.2 yards per catch. He also had two touchdowns. On a two-year NFL career, Sharpe has recorded 67 receptions for 838 yards, averaging 12.5 yards per catch, with four scores. It will be interesting to see just how productive he is in moving the chains this season.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Rock Ya-Sin has yet to sign his rookie contract, but that doesn't keep the excitement from fans about his potential impact on the defense. As the Colts' first pick in the 2019 draft at No. 34 overall, Ya-Sin is a player the front office fell in love with while he went through the 2018 season at Temple working as one of their starting cornerbacks. One of the reasons the Colts liked Ya-Sin's game was his ability to limit big plays. He allowed the second-fewest yards-per-reception in 2018 among all cornerbacks taken in the draft, per Pro Football Focus. Colts CB Rock Ya-Sin allowed just 8.3 yards per reception last year - the 2nd-best figure among all CBs in the 2019 draft pic.twitter.com/6y8bqJQNnh - Pro Football Focus (@PFF) May 17, 2019 The Colts secondary is one that is expected to feature plenty of competition in the coming months. Ya-Sin might need a little more development, but the Colts view him as a starter and one that is likely to compete with Pierre Desir and Quincy Wilson for a boundary position. It also remains to be seen what type of coverage the Colts will be asking Ya-Sin to be a part of. They featured heavy zone coverage in 2018 but could be looking to use more man coverage in the future. The Colts have some high expectations for Ya-Sin if he reaches his potential, and limiting big plays is one of the reasons they believe he can succeed in their scheme.

The origins of "Stinkers" are as tricky to pin down as a wriggly toddler. It has to do with the worlds of three artists colliding: beloved actor Sally Wingert, who did a developmental reading of "Crashing the Party" nine years ago while she was on Broadway in "La Bête." Playwright Josh Tobiessen , who wrote "Crashing." And Star Tribune artist of the year Sarah Rasmussen , who is married to Tobiessen and has directed his and Wingert's work several times. All of the above led to the comedy that world-premieres Saturday at Jungle Theater , where Rasmussen is artistic director and where Wingert has not performed since "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" 15 years ago. She plays a woman, fresh out of jail for white-collar crimes, who crashes into the lives of her nonmaterialistic son (John Catron) and his small children (Reed Sigmund and Megan Burns, operating puppets). Awkward parenting attempts   and criticism of those attempts   follow. As this lightly edited conversation reveals, getting the story goes something like this: On the (probable) origins of 'Stinkers': JT: Sally said something to me about writing her a play, and Sarah said, "If Sally Wingert tells you to write a play, you're kind of stupid if you don't." Going into writing, the main things on my mind were my toddler children and that Sally Wingert wanted to be in it so, from the get-go, I wanted to represent parenting. SW: Did you not say to me, "I have a character in mind that you should play?" JT: That probably did happen. It's fun to be able to write with a specific actor in mind because it very much becomes, "What would I like to see her do?" SW: I probably did say you should write me a play. Because: If you do not ask, you shall not get it. I say this a lot but I think Josh is about the funniest contemporary playwright I have ever come across, ever read, ever got to perform. This play really is a whole windup of amusement before the big payoff. On whether having a play written for you is nervous-making: SW: No. I knew it'd like it. I just remember thinking it was so funny. I did say a note to Josh: She is not a storyteller. Josh had her giving capitalism lectures but I said I think she's not necessarily a person who speaks in paragraphs, not because she couldn't but she has a clock that's always ticking, like, "Got me? Got me? OK. We're moving on." [Claps her hands to indicate: Next!3/8 JT: I'd like to point out that it's nice Sally wasn't scared about acting in the play but I was really nervous about it. There are plays of mine that are sitting in a drawer and probably deserve to be there. They've never been performed. So, when I start one, I never have that confidence that it's going to be great. SW: But you think this is a good play, Sarah, not just because he's your husband. SR: Of course. I think I'm harder on Josh because he's my husband. "Lone Star Spirits," when he wrote it, I was like, "Great. Go get a good New York Times review of i t and then we'll talk about doing it at the Jungle." JT: We do have a professional career that predates our romantic career. We worked together in grad school. SW: So, no. I wasn't nervous. How often does someone get this lucky? It doesn't happen, in my world, anyway. And I have Sarah. On working with puppets, used to play the children: SW: You cannot imagine how fantastic it is. At first, I just liked watching those two humans be toddlers. And Sarah was very patient with me: "We're going to use puppets. It will work." And I'd be, "Hmmm, sure, Sarah. We'll use puppets. Sure." And then these puppets show up in rehearsal! SR: Josh had this idea that children are a huge part of so many of our lives but we rarely get to see children on stage. And there's a good reason for that. I remember I showed John [Catron] the script and he was like, "Are we going to cast a 3-year-old and a 20-month-old in this play?" And I said, "No. No one wants to do that." The idea is that a child is small and vulnerable and needs to be taken care of, but they also take up an enormous amount of space. On when you know it's working: SW: It's how the language fits with the emotions of it. It ends up feeling like, "Oh, something really just went through me while I did that." It happens like that early in the play. I'm just out of prison and meeting the grandchildren   well, meeting one and re-meeting the other. It's funny and true and I ask them to give me a hug and then, when I'm doing it, it pops into something that is, "Wow! She has just gotten out of jail and has not really acknowledged how off her game she feels. She's landing on the moon, almost." In the play, it doesn't get lingered on for more than a heartbeat and a half, but it is comedy that is bringing you to an emotional truth, and it's such a surprise. On others' contributions to a playwright's work: JT: Everybody wants it to be a great production but I also want it to be a great script, moving forward. So, if Sarah and the actors are trying to finesse a moment, to "get through" it, I want to ask them, "Are there things I can do, script-wise, that will help?" SW: I often tell playwrights, "I don't understand this." And they give me a long explanation and I'll say, "Now, I understand. But when you are not in the room, no actor is going to know any of that, so you have to put it in the script." SR: It's small but meaningful that, when scripts get published, the names of the actors who did it first go on that first page, too, along with the writer. The people who do it first are indelibly part of it, going forward. The questions they ask go into the play. On putting it out in the universe: SW: There's a character in the play who wants wealth without working for it. Something along the lines of "The Secret, " he has a vision board where he puts things he wants. I always think that I kind of made my own little vision board here, with this play. SR: You manifested it. SW: I really did.

As expected, the Dodgers have placed infielder David Freese on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain. Catcher Will Smith has been recalled to take Freese's spot on the roster. Freese, 36, has emerged as a key part of the Dodgers' offense, posting a career-best .308/.407/.592 slash line. Freese earned a one-year contract to return to Los Angeles after an impressive showing late last season, when he was acquired from the Pirates in August. This season, he has doubled down on that production and been a steady contributor at the corner infield spots. Though Freese made a name for himself as a third baseman, he has played primarily at first for the first-place Dodgers, often spelling Max Muncy against left-handed pitchers. Freese will be missed, but Muncy has shown himself more than capable of handling southpaws when called upon, and the versatile Dodgers have a number of options who can pick up slack in Freese's absence: Cody Bellinger , Enrique Hernandez , and Matt Beaty have experience at first, and the Dodgers would like Joc Pederson to get more reps there. Smith rejoins the Dodgers after getting his first taste of the majors in May. Smith, regarded as an above-average offensive performer at the catcher position, flashed that potential in his first big-league stint, but hasn't gotten enough experience to draw strong conclusions. His numbers in Triple A this season are impressive, slashing .291/.397/.609 in 49 games.

The Jaguars made it official with wide receiver Terrelle Pryor this morning, bringing an end to the great society in the process. The team announced the addition of Pryor, and that defensive end Lyndon Johnson had been waived to clear the roster spot. Johnson spent most of last year on the Jaguars practice squad, getting a late-season promotion. Pryor's hoping to restart his career for a team that could use some help at the position. He hasn't been able to build on his 2016 season with the Browns, when he caught 77 passes for 1,007 yards. He's also spent time with the Raiders, Seahawks, Chiefs, and Washington, and split last season with the Jets and Bills.


FARMINGDALE, N.Y.   Did Dustin Johnson let another major championship slip away? Is it even fair to ask that of a golfer who began the final round a full touchdown behind? These are questions that were being asked in the aftermath of yet another close call for Johnson in one of golf's biggest events. But the World No. 1 was wondering about something else: What the heck happened on the 16th hole? Still trailing by six shots deep into his Sunday back nine at Bethpage Black, Johnson somehow clawed to within one with a rare birdie at No. 15. Well, rare for anyone not named Dustin Johnson, who managed to birdie one of the toughest par 4s in the world all four days . With Brooks Koepka suddenly hopping on one of the most unlikely bogey trains ever, Johnson was now within striking range on the 16th fairway at the 2019 PGA Championship . He fired an approach shot at the flagstick and … huh? "I still don't know how my ball went over the green there," Johnson said after. Whether the gusty wind that wreaked havoc at Bethpage Black on Sunday laid down or the adrenaline running through Johnson's body picked up, Johnson wound up in a nearly impossible spot. He hit a nice pitch, but his eight-foot par putt was low all the way. Another deep approach on No. 17 led to another failed up and down, and suddenly he was on a bogey train headed to another disappointing finish. A wild par save from the gallery left of the green on 18 gave him a 69 the lone score of par or better in the final 12 groups but he settled for second place. Again. RELATED: Tour pro misses cut, has car accident in Long Island traffic "It was a lot of fun," said Johnson, who finished two shots behind Koepka . "You know, it's why we play golf, is to be in these kinds of situations. And you know, for me, yeah, I had a great time out there today, even in these tough conditions. I gave it a good shot." Considering Johnson was the only player to shoot under par all four days, he certainly did. But it was another case of his good not being quite good enough. This marked the second consecutive major at which Johnson has finished runner-up and he now has four seconds at majors in his career (Completing the Second-Place Slam) to go along with that lone title at the 2016 U.S. Open. And that doesn't include the controversial bunker penalty on the 72nd hole that knocked him out of a playoff at the 2010 PGA Championship. RELATED: 12 stats that tell the story of Sunday at Bethpage In a way, it seemed fitting that a player who has let some golden opportunities slip away might steal a second major. The golf gods appeared like they might be evening things out, but it wasn't to be. Afterward, however, Johnson remained upbeat about the state of his game. And he insisted the shot that killed his momentum was a good one. "I had 194 hole," he explained. "You know, wind was howling in my face a little bit off the right. I actually almost went back and grabbed -- I hit a 5-iron, but almost went back and got a 4-iron because I didn't think the 5 was going to even come close, based on the shots that I've hit, earlier in the round, into the wind. The wind was just really eating the ball up when you're hitting it into it. Yeah, I mean, so I tried to hit kind of like just a little low draw. Hit the shot I wanted to right at the flag. Just I don't know how it flew 200 yards into the wind like that." Of course, there's the added element that Johnson and Koepka are good friends, but fierce competitors. So while Johnson said he is "very happy" for the man who has won four of his past eight major starts, when asked who the best player in the world is, he responded, "I'm pretty sure I'm still ranked No. 1, so I'd pick myself." Sorry, DJ, but that's another miscalculation. Brooks actually walked away from Bethpage Black with that title, too.

Among the many new updates and features coming with the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus is a revamped take on DeX, Samsung's desktop-like software that is powered by the phone . While prior versions of DeX required you to plug the phone into a monitor and use a mouse and keyboard paired to it, the new version lets you plug a Note 10 into a Windows or Mac computer and bring up a window with all of your phone's apps accessible from your desktop or laptop computer. Not only can you remotely control your phone and use the apps installed on it without ever taking your hands off of your computer's keyboard, but you can also drag and drop files from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. If you're a fan of the way DeX works with just a monitor, fret not, as the Note 10 should still support the traditional DeX interface when used with just a display, mouse, and keyboard. To make that work, you just need a USB-C to HDMI cable, and you're good to go. Additionally, Samsung has partnered with Microsoft to preload the Your Phone app on the device, which lets you send SMS messages and wirelessly transfer image files between a paired phone and Windows PC. It also put a toggle for connecting and disconnecting Your Phone in the phone's quick actions tray. DeX has become Samsung's answer for the convergence of various devices, as it allows you to have a desktop-like interface with just a phone or tablet, blending what you get on an iPad with what a Windows 10 tablet offers. But earlier takes were more interesting in theory than in practice, as it's typically easier to just use a laptop than it is to find a display, mouse, and keyboard to hook up to your phone. You can access DeX with most recent Samsung devices, including the just-announced Galaxy Tab S6 , which has a special DeX display mode when a keyboard is attached. Frustratingly, the Galaxy S10 will not support the new DeX features with Windows and Mac computers, despite having the same basic set of hardware specifications as the Note 10. We'll have to see how well this new spin on DeX performs once we get a chance to test and review the Note 10 line. But it's easy to say it's one of the most interesting things Samsung has announced today.


Bill Cosby has been in prison for more than nine months. In January, he was moved from a cell near the infirmary to a general population cell. And now, his rep reveals, he's giving lectures to his fellow inmates. Cosby's rep, Andrew Wyatt, spoke to TMZ and revealed that the disgraced comedian, who in September was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in his home 15 years ago, has been giving as many as four lectures a week for the last three months at Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution Phoenix in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, a 3,830-bed facility that houses some of the state's most violent offenders. "These are the types of men he has wanted to get his messages across to for years, and now he has a totally captive audience," Wyatt told TMZ. The former "Cosby Show" star is filling his speeches with parenting and life advice and as many as 100 prisoners will gather to hear what he has to say, Wyatt added. His lectures also include tips on how to do well in interviews as they seek work after being incarcerated, and tips for staying sober if substance abuse has been an issue. Cosby's main message in his lectures -- which are laced with comedy, his rep explained -- is that the inmates need to, as TMZ puts it, "lead by example for their kids and stay outta prison in the future." Cosby -- who's been doing a lot of his behind-bars work with a group called "Man Up" -- has also been telling prisoners that they need to "re-bond with their kids immediately upon getting out," TMZ writes. The 81-year-old former TV star is expected to spend at least another two years and three months in prison as he serves out his sentence. Related slideshow: Celebrity mug shots:


"Racism" was the top search on Merriam Webster's online dictionary during and after President Trump's Wednesday campaign rally in which he ramped up his attacks on four progressive minority congresswomen. "Tonight's top searches, in order: racism, socialism, fascism, concentration camp, xenophobia, bigot," the dictionary's official Twitter account shared. Tonight's top searches, in order: racism, socialism, fascism, concentration camp, xenophobia, bigot - Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) July 17, 2019 Trump was accused this week by many Democrats and some Republicans of racism after suggesting in a tweet that the four Democratic congresswomen "go back" to the "totally broken" and "crime infested places" they came from. Although Trump did not name any lawmaker specifically in the tweets, he has since referenced first-term Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). During the rally in North Carolina, many Twitter users also noted the crowd chanting "send her back" when Trump criticized Omar of anti-Semitism. Omar, who came to the United States as a refugee from Somalia, is a U.S. citizen. Pres. Trump continued his now days-long attack on four Democratic congresswomen at his rally in North Carolina on Wednesday night, eliciting chants of "send her back" from the crowd. https://t.co/V9Nf9ve5tf pic.twitter.com/OSf6hkEu4E - ABC News (@ABC) July 17, 2019 Trump has denied that his initial tweets about the Democratic congresswomen were racist, tweeting on Tuesday that he does not "have a Racist bone in my body." Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don't have a Racist bone in my body! The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show "weakness" and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat..... - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2019 Trump also criticized Ocasio-Cortez during the Wednesday rally, saying he didn't "have time" to say her three names. Ocasio-Cortez called the migrant detention centers on the border run by the Trump administration concentration camps last month. Trump says of @AOC "I don't have time to go with three different names. We will call her Cortez." pic.twitter.com/FFqTYg24gq - Zack Ford (@ZackFord) July 17, 2019 This is not the first time the dictionary has weighed in on Trump's tweets. The account has mocked Trump's misspellings in his tweets and added political definitions of words like "snowflake."


The Kings and rookie guard Kyle Guy have finalized an agreement for Guy to fill one of the team's two-way contracts for the 2019-20 season, according to an official release from the team (h/t to Jason Jones of The Athletic ). Guy, the 55th overall selection in the 2019 NBA Draft, has already appeared in four Summer League games with the Kings, including a 21-point performance in Sacramento's Las Vegas Summer League debut against the Chinese National Team. A key part of Virginia's run to a national title last season, Guy averaged 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 35.4 minutes per game in 38 games (38 starts) during his junior season for the Cavaliers. He was named All-ACC First Team and Final Four Most Outstanding Player. Wenyen Gabriel and Troy Williams occupied the Kings' two-way slots during the 2018-19 season, but Williams is a free agent, so Guy's deal appears to indicate he and Gabriel are on track to hold the team's two two-way slots for next season.


WASHINGTON/GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he agreed to drop the threat of economic sanctions against Guatemala after the country agreed to apply new migration measures to citizens from Honduras and El Salvador. The Trump administration has grappled with a surge of mainly Central American migrants claiming asylum at the United States' southern border with Mexico, an influx that has made it difficult for Trump to restrict immigration as he promised when he was elected. Trump had wanted Guatemala to sign what is known as a safe third country agreement to require asylum seekers to first pursue safe haven in a third country through which they had traveled on the way to the United States. Guatemala's Constitutional Court ruled that such a deal could not be signed without prior approval from the country's Congress, which is on a summer recess. Trump told reporters on Friday that Guatemala had signed a safe third country agreement, but the Guatemalan government did not use that term. It said that the new measures applied only to Honduran and Salvadoran citizens. "They're doing what we've asked them to do," Trump told reporters at the White House, calling Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales a "terrific guy." "We have other great countries who are going to be signing on also," he said, without providing further details. Trump threatened to impose tariffs, ban travelers and hit remittances with fees when the agreement fell through last week. Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan told reporters at the White House the pact would protect "asylum seekers at the earliest possible point in their journey." "If you have a Honduran family or an El Salvadoran national, instead of them having to pay a smuggler, come all the way to our border to seek asylum, when they arrive in Guatemala they're in a country that has a fair proceeding for assessing asylum claims and that's where they should make that claim," McAleenan said. The Guatemalan government said in a statement that the deal would allow its citizens to apply for temporary visas to work in the U.S. agricultural sector, and in the medium- to long-term, would allow for work visas for the construction and service sectors. Morales said on Facebook that the agreement had headed off the threat of "drastic sanctions" against Guatemala.

Last week's Southern California earthquakes affected Las Vegas. Not strong enough, however, to affect the football stadium that is being built there. Via the Las Vegas Review-Journal , the COO of the company building the venue said Saturday that the earthquakes did no damage, and caused no injuries. Don Webb explained that the building was " thoroughly inspected ," and that an independent testing firm had examined all critical structural elements of the stadium. Webb admitted that the incomplete status of the structure increases its vulnerability. After Friday night's 7.1-magnitude event, workers moved from the higher structures to ground level, continuing their efforts there. Recently, the overall construction effort went out of sequence , due to the fact that some roof trusses don't fit. None of these issues are expected to keep the stadium from opening as expected in time for the start of the 2020 season.


The Washington Monument just got even more iconic. On Tuesday, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch, the 555-foot national symbol lit up with an image of the moon-bound shuttle blasting into space. The 363-foot projection of the Saturn V rocket will appear for two hours every night during the anniversary of the mission that put the first two humans -- both Americans -- on the moon. On Friday and Saturday, the celebration of this historical milestone will culminate in a 17-minute light show taking viewers back to July 16, 1969 when Apollo 11 made its giant leap for mankind from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. And yes, that is a 40-foot-wide re-creation of the famous Kennedy Space Center countdown clock at the monument's base. The illuminating display was launched (so to speak) by t he Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and the US Department of the Interior.

South Koreans have emerged workaholics, while Europeans live the high life. That's according to the latest Expedia survey of worldwide vacation habits, that polled 9,273 workers around the world on the number of vacation days they're entitled to, and the number of vacations days they actually take. Overall, South Koreans have emerged the most hard-working, and vacation-deprived. Though they're entitled to 15 days a year, the average Korean takes only six days off. That could be because Koreans expressed the most guilt (67 percent) for taking all their vacation time, citing the disapproval of their bosses. At the other end of the spectrum, workers in Germany, France, Spain, Finland and Brazil get about 30 days of paid holidays -- and most use them all up. In the US, the report found that Americans let four of 15 days of vacation go to waste. Canadians, who also get an average of 15 days, are more likely to take all of theirs.


HOT SPRINGS   Founded on hospitality to travelers , this small mountain community revels in its role as a stop-off for Appalachian Trail hikers, whose 2,190-mile route runs through the town's center. But a darker realization came over residents as they wrestled with news of a May 11 fatal attack and the fact that those involved may have been among the town's visitors. Police arrested James Jordan, 30, saying on May 11 he killed a man and injured a woman hiking on the trail in Virginia. Residents and hikers say they believe he spent time in and around Hot Springs. The victims have not been identified, but locals were shaken. "It affects me very deeply," said Randy Anderson, 63, who manages the hostel for the Laughing Heart Lodge with his wife LuAnn. Anderson is called "Chuck Norris" by fellow hikers, as part of a long-standing practice of trail nicknames. "I'm a member of what I would call the hikers' family. And we really treat these hikers as family and community." Of interest: 80-year-old twins complete Appalachian Trail Also: Hikers behaving badly: Appalachian Trail partying raises ire A federal judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation for Jordan, of West Yarmouth, Massachusetts, who authorities said had acted "unstable" before the attack and allegedly threatened to pour gasoline on hikers' tents and burn them to death. Jordan made an initial appearance May 13 in federal court in Abingdon, Virginia, where a judge granted a request from prosecutors to send him to a facility for a psychiatric examination. His attorney declined to comment. In an affidavit, an FBI agent said Jordan approached four hikers multiple times May 10 in southwestern Virginia, singing, playing his guitar, making noises and threatening them. The agent said two hikers got away, but Jordan stabbed a man who later died, and a female hiker, who survived. Initial reports said the attacker used a machete, but the affidavit called it a knife. Rosemoon Mecho, a manager at Laughing Heart Lodge's main hotel, said there had been sightings of a man matching Jordan's description walking around the Spillcorn community to the northeast of Hot Springs. "We think he walked by my daughter's house, and when I heard the news this morning I was horrified," Mecho said. One man known as a "trail angel" for his assistance to hikers, Matthew Odie Norman, believed Jordan first appeared on the trail in Hot Springs, according to an interview with Norman by the Washington Post. It was there he was accused of pulling a knife on hikers at a shelter commonly used as a hiker stopover. Norman did not respond messages left on May 13. Norman encountered Jordan in Roan Mountain, Tennessee, May 3. According to the interview and to hostel manager Anderson, Matthew thought he was mentally unstable and drove him to a bus station where he bought Jordan a ticket to go home. It was after the attack he learned Jordan went back to the trail. Anderson said Jordan likely drew attention for his behavior and for carrying a weapon, something not common among hikers. After the attack, Anderson sent word out to people in the area to try to find out the identity of the victims "to put a face and name" on them, but no one had come forward.

There are fewer people coming off the trail now that the biggest surge of "thru-hikers" had already passed on their way north. Those on the trail will likely be more cautious, he said. "We are very connected," Anderson said. "Hikers look out for each other as we walk up the trail together. Because we only have each other from day to day."

Look back on some of the most memorable moments at Pocono Raceway through the years in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. As the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series returns to Pocono Raceway, take a look back at some of the most memorable moments at the \"Tricky Triangle.\" Be sure to tune in Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN/NBC Sports App, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio for the Gander RV 400. Aug. 4, 1974: Richard Petty won Pocono's first premier series race, beating out Buddy Baker by 18.8 seconds. 'The King' led 152 of the 192 laps to victory in the rain-shortened event. Only four of 35 drivers were on the lead lap when the race was cut short. Petty won 10 races in 1974 and went on to earn the fifth of his seven Cup titles. June 12, 1983: In a span of 371 days, Bobby Allison won three consecutive Cup Series races at Pocono. For the first time in 1982, NASCAR visited Pocono twice in the same season and Allison swept the races. He made it three in a row by winning again in 1983, when he led 143 of the 200 laps and beat out Darrell Waltrip by 9.56 seconds. Allison never won another race at the 'Tricky Triangle.' June 14, 1987: After missing the first 11 races of the 1987 season due to illness, Tim Richmond made his first start at Pocono, leading 82 of 200 laps on his way to Victory Lane. Richmond also won the following week at a road course in California, but made just six other starts in the Cup series. Of Richmond's 13 career wins, four were at Pocono. July 19, 1992: In one of the worst wrecks in Pocono history, Davey Allison got bumped from behind by Darrell Waltrip and the car flipped nine times through the infield before landing upside down. Allison had won the pole for the event and led 115 of the first 149 laps before the incident. He suffered a broken arm, wrist and collarbone along with a concussion. Allison raced the following week at Talladega wearing a cast. June 19, 2000: Jeremy Mayfield used a final lap bump-and-run tactic on Dale Earnhardt in Turn 2 and nudged past 'The Intimidator' for the victory. In a tip of the cap to the late Earnhardt, Mayfield said afterward: 'I didn't mean to hit him; I just meant to rattle his cage. Isn't that how it goes?' Mayfield was quoting Earnhardt, who did the same thing to Terry Labonte at Bristol in 1999. July 28, 2002: Steve Park's wreck on the first lap caused a 65-minute delay and showed why Dale Earnhardt Jr. has so many fans. Park, who was a teammate of Earnhardt Jr.'s at the time, made contact with Rusty Wallace and slid across the grass before tumbling into the guardrail. Earnhardt Jr., also involved in the wreck, quickly got out of his car and sprinted to help. Park and Earnhardt Jr. walked off arm-and-arm. July 23, 2006: At 25 years old, Denny Hamlin became the first rookie to win both Monster Energy Series races at Pocono in the same season. Hamlin led 151 of the 200 laps. Six weeks earlier, Hamlin won the Pocono 500, and later credited a racing simulator with helping him learn the track's quirky layout. These were the first two wins of his career, and the only wins of the season for Hamlin, who finished third in the 2006 points standings and was voted Sunoco Rookie of the Year. June 7, 2009: Tony Stewart led from start to finish en route to winning the Pocono 500 at the 2.5-mile triangle. It was the first time a driver/owner won in the series since Ricky Rudd did at Martinsville Speedway in 1998. Aug. 7, 2011: Four days after being airlifted to a hospital after a wreck during testing at Road Atlanta, Brad Keselowski won with a broken left ankle. Keselowski said he drew inspiration from the 30 U.S. troops who were shot down in a military operation over Afghanistan that week. Keselowski dedicated the win to the troops. Aug. 3, 2014: Earning his third victory of the season, Dale Earnhardt Jr. swept the 2014 Monster Energy Series races at Pocono by beating out Kevin Harvick to win the GoBowling.com 400. Just a few weeks earlier, Junior had earned his first win in 29 starts at the 'Tricky Triangle' by besting Brad Keselowski by .439 seconds. Aug. 1, 2016: Chris Buescher leads the field as it parks on pit road for a weather-related red flag during the Pennsylvania 400. The race was delayed due to inclement weather, then ended early because of fog, and Buescher claimed his first (and only to date) Monster Energy Series win. June 11, 2017: Ryan Blaney celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the Monster Energy Series Axalta presents the Pocono 400. It was the first victory for Wood Brothers Racing since 2011 and brought the team within one win from 100. It was also Blaney's first premier series victory. June 2, 2019: Kyle Busch won the first race at Pocono Raceway in 2019, leading 79 laps. Busch won Pocono-2 in 2018 as well as Pocono-1 in 2017. If he can pull of a win this weekend at Pocono, it will be his third in a row at the \"Tricky Triangle.\"


News aggregator app Flipboard said Tuesday it fell victim to hacks that exposed and possibly allowed users' account information to be copied for about nine months. The information revealed in the hacks includes users' names, Flipboard user names, encrypted passwords and email address, Flipboard said in a blog post . No Social Security numbers, credit card information or other financial data was revealed, as the app doesn't collect that information. "As a precaution, we have reset all users' passwords, even though the passwords were cryptographically protected and not all users' account information was involved," Flipboard said in an FAQ. Users will have to create a new password the next time they try to log in to their account. Additionally, all digital tokens used to connect to third-party accounts have been replaced or deleted to prevent misuse, the company said. "We are committed to the security and care for our users and partners and protecting their account information is a top priority for us," Flipboard said in a statement. "We have taken enhanced measures to secure our systems and implemented additional safeguards to prevent this from happening again." Flipboard said the unauthorized intrusions occurred between June 2, 2018, and March 23, 2019, and another between April 21 and 22, 2019. The company said it had notified law enforcement and hired an outside security firm to investigate the hack. Not all users' accounts were affected, Flipboard said, but it wasn't immediately clear how many were. "At this time, we're in the process of figuring out the total number," Flipboard said. "While we have been able to rule out access to certain databases, we continue to investigate the systems the attacker had access to." The company said in April 2018 it had 145 million monthly users.


Buried on the cornerback depth chart, Green Bay Packers defensive backs Natrell Jamerson and Will Redmond are spending the spring learning to play safety in Mike Pettine's defense. According to Michael Cohen of The Athletic , both Jamerson and Redmond have spent the majority of their time during the offseason workout program playing safety behind starters Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage. The position change could give the pair a better chance of making the 53-man roster later this summer. The Packers have adequate depth at cornerback but little at safety, especially if third-year safety Josh Jones is traded away at some point before or during training camp. Positional versatility and special teams contributions could provide a path for Jamerson and Redmond. And they both have some level of past experience at safety. Jamerson was an All-Big Ten pick at safety as a senior. While the New Orleans Saints drafted him to be a cornerback, and he eventually played in 10 games at cornerback for the Houston Texans in 2018, the safety position isn't foreign to the former Badger. He also has a nice combination of speed (4.4) and size (5-11, 201). Redmond, a former third-round pick, played safety in high school but was mostly a cornerback at Mississippi State. His once-promising NFL career has been plagued by injuries. The Packers could see both Jamerson and Redmond as being interchangeable defensive backs capable of playing free safety and down in the slot, while also having the potential to emerge as core special teamers. Keep an eye on Jamerson this summer. He figures to have the easier transition, given his history of playing both cornerback and safety. He was also a sure tackler and a standout special teams player at Wisconsin. Training camp could provide a real opportunity for Jamerson to nail down a roster spot as one of the Packers' backup safeties.

There will be more than 500 games featuring NFL players over the next two years, as members of the NFL labor force battle each other on the field in weekly competition. Beyond the games, though, will be a larger dispute between the collective group of players and the league about the business of football and the negotiation of the next Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is hard to believe, but the current CBA, negotiated in 2011, is now 80% complete, with eight seasons in the books on what was an extraordinary long 10-year deal, with no opt-outs for either side. Lest anyone think differently, this game between the NFL and NFLPA has already begun, at least from a positioning standpoint. Opening salvos have come from each side that appear not only scripted but also replays of the posturing done eight years ago. Let's examine… Shot fired: NFLPA version NFL Players Association chief DeMaurice Smith, now entering his second CBA negotiation, wrote to agents last month to advise players to be prepared for a year-long work stoppage . While it is certainly prudent advice for anyone to save as much as possible, my first reaction to the idea of the union not agreeing to a CBA for a year after the current one expires was: Good luck with that. NFL owners will probably impose a lockout if the current CBA expires without a new one in place, a tactic they employed eight years ago to gain leverage in negotiations. It is much easier to negotiate with the NFLPA when players are not receiving paychecks compared to when they are. Smith, a litigator by trade, responded to the 2011 lockout by decertifying (dissolving) the union and heading to court to challenge it, and was successful at the lower court level. However, the Court of Appeals ruled for the NFL and allowed the lockout to proceed. As to the bigger case, challenging the NFL's system, Smith could have pursued that, but the case was potentially years from being fully litigated. Rather than continue the legal fight, the NFLPA hurriedly negotiated a new CBA and players quickly returned to team facilities to start training camp. Now, with legal precedent established on the legality of a lockout, the NFL may well use the same management tactic if the current deal expires, and a litigation battle may take years. Will players make that sacrifice with no guarantee of significant gains to be made from a judge or jury? As someone always rooting for NFL players to exert some influence, I wish there was a chance, but know this is a tough ask. Having said that, I understand and admire Smith's comment for its effect, if nothing else. Although there are certainly NFL owners (and NFL lawyers) who will roll their eyes at the idea of players collectively sitting out an entire year, there may be others who see it as a (somewhat) legitimate threat to disrupt the continuity that owners desperately need for them to continue to leverage massive media and sponsorship deals. Shot fired: NFL version It's déjà vu all over again. As happened prior to the 2011 CBA negotiations, reports have surfaced about the NFL making a push for an 18 game regular season. And cue Commissioner Roger Goodell, who made statements last week about teams not needing four preseason games (Translation: teams should be playing more regular season games). For the NFL, the bottom line is the bottom line: The ancillary revenue from two more weeks of top line product (the regular season), compared to two weeks of inferior product (the preseason), would be significant. But players strongly resisted in 2011 and have already shown signs of strong resistance once again. Owners will privately, if not publicly, tell you that they do not even need the players' consent to adjust the season. And they will take credit for not unilaterally implementing a longer regular season in 2011. That decision was calculated, however, as every collective NFL move is. The playbook was, and perhaps is, to (1) Float the 18-game season as a CBA bargaining priority; (2) Watch predictable revolt and pushback from players and media; and (3) Pull the issue back to prioritize others, looking reasonable and empathetic to the players in the process. We saw this movie in 2011; we'll see if the sequel plays out the way the original did. The priorities In any multi-issue negotiation as CBA negotiations are the key for each side is to establish and stick to their priorities. In 2011, the owners' priority was clear: changing the existing revenue split toward a better economic landscape (and it worked, as all metrics are up in NFL business). The players' priorities were less clear and more meandering, finally settling on health and safety (reduced offseason, limited contact in practice, etc.) as having utmost importance. To be fair, DeMaurice Smith and the NFLPA had a tough job in the last negotiation, playing defense against NFL owners' determined effort to claw back against the player-friendly CBA in place since 2006. One would hope the NFL would be more equitable this time around, but as any readers of this space should know, this bunch has never been known to be anything but relentless negotiators. Beyond the usual CBA bargaining issues overall revenue split, minimum team spending requirements, commissioner power and player discipline, franchise/transition tags, marijuana testing and discipline , etc. there are two new key areas I am watching that were not part of the discussions in 2011. They involve the sharing and distribution of (1) new revenues from the gambling space, in light of last year's Supreme Court decision allowing state legalization, and (2) players' biometric and health data, specifically the issue of who owns the data and the price of sharing it. The negotiation over these two topics, ones not even contemplated in the 2011 negotiations, will be fascinating to watch. Why wait? As for the lack of negotiation, I just don't get it. Whatever is going to be negotiated or not in the next CBA, can now be negotiated at any time and could have been negotiated at any time in recent years. Both Goodell and Smith had their employment contracts extended well past the 2021 CBA expiration, making them effectively empowered by their constituencies to lead labor negotiations. To be fair, we have seen positive news about the formation of joint committees to discuss mental health and pain management . However, for whatever reason strategy, personal enmity, waiting for a deadline to spur action, etc. we continue to hear adversarial refrains about 18-game schedules and players' preparing for a year-long work stoppage. To me, any talk of CBA Armageddon involving long work stoppages is useless and counterproductive. The continued prosperity of the NFL for both sides depends on continuity and stability. There are two years left on an existing agreement with both leaders empowered to negotiate a new one. There will be labor pains again there always are but there is no need to wait two years or more to produce this new CBA. • Question or comment? Email us at talkback@themmqb.com .

The 2018 season was a disappointing one for the Vikings, surely. The team finished with an 8-7-1 record and failed to make the playoffs after some experts predicted them to win the Super Bowl. Nate Davis, our friend over at USA Today Sports, is still pretty optimistic about the Vikings heading into 2019. Davis has the Vikings ranked No. 6 in his recent NFL Power Rankings . This is probably the highest you'll see the Vikings on a ranking like this, but it's not crazy. The Vikings have a lot of the same talent they did last season, and with the addition of Garrett Bradbury to the offensive line, Minnesota's biggest weakness last season could end up being a strength. Plus, Minnesota's defense had a down season considering the amount of talent it had on that side of the ball. I'd expect a bounce back. As for the rest of the NFC North, Davis has the Bears ranked ninth, the Packers ranked 14th and the Lions ranked 29th.

Members of the all-Democratic Massachusetts congressional delegation have joined the chorus of criticism of President Donald Trump's controversial tweets about a group of minority, liberal congresswomen. In his tweets, which were widely condemned as racist, Trump said Sunday the congresswomen should go back to the ''broken and crime infested'' countries they came from. On Monday, he stepped up his attacks on the four, who include Massachusetts Representative Ayanna Pressley. Pressley has fought back on Twitter , posting an image of the president's tweets, and saying, "THIS is what racism looks like." She continued: "WE are what democracy looks like. And we're not going anywhere. Except back to DC to fight for the families you marginalize and vilify everyday." US Senator Elizabeth Warren who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, called the president's tweets a "racist and xenophobic attack on Democratic congresswomen." "This *is* their country, regardless of whether or not Trump realizes it," she tweeted. "They should be treated with respect. As president, I'll make sure of it." Let's be clear about what this vile comment is: A racist and xenophobic attack on Democratic congresswomen. This *is* their country, regardless of whether or not Trump realizes it. They should be treated with respect. As president, I'll make sure of it. https://t.co/WupieDquLA   Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 14, 2019 US Senator Ed Markey tweeted that Trump feels threatened by the congresswomen. "Donald Trump isn't only threatened by these congresswomen's identities, he's threatened by their courage and strength," Markey tweeted. "Every day, they stand up to Trump's racist attacks and speak truth to power. I'm proud to serve alongside them. Keep organizing. Keep fighting." Donald Trump isn't only threatened by these congresswomen's identities, he's threatened by their courage and strength. Every day, they stand up to Trump's racist attacks and speak truth to power. I'm proud to serve alongside them. Keep organizing. Keep fighting. https://t.co/VDzXCugfSk   Ed Markey (@SenMarkey) July 14, 2019 US Representative Lori Trahan said the president's tweets were "shameful and racist comments" that "do not make America great." "They are meant to divide us, and ultimately make us weaker as a people & country. The Congresswomen being attacked are every bit as American as Donald Trump." Trahan added: "Our diversity is our strength. The fact that he won't acknowledge that only confirms his inability to lead." These shameful and racist comments by our President do not make America great. They are meant to divide us, and ultimately make us weaker as a people & country.

"This is white nationalism," Moulton wrote. "The president thinks if you're not white, you're not an American. I don't know what else to say but Donald Trump is a racist and a criminal and we have a constitutional duty to impeach him." This is white nationalism. https://t.co/SMVssPUlPq   Seth Moulton (@sethmoulton) July 14, 2019 US Representative Jim McGovern called the president's tweets "a new low." "Donald Trump's comments are despicable and racist," McGovern tweeted. "This should outrage all Americans. And as usual, all we hear from the @GOP is silence, even though they condemn him to us in private. Cowards." This is a new low. Donald Trump's comments are despicable and racist.

Jim McGovern (@RepMcGovern) July 14, 2019 US Representative Bill Keating described the president's comments as a "racist attack." "This racist attack on my congressional colleagues does not serve to 'Make America Great,'" Keating wrote. "America has been made great by those who have come to our country and fought in our wars, cured diseases, and taught our children." "The Congresswomen being attacked are all proud American citizens, duly elected to serve by their constituents. Here in America we don't tell fellow citizens to 'go home.' We welcome them."

"This is blatant racism by the POTUS against sitting Members of Congress  women who have displayed more character and loyalty to American values than Trump ever has," she wrote. "The only person degrading our government is you, Mr. President." This is blatant racism by the POTUS against sitting Members of Congress  women who have displayed more character and loyalty to American values than Trump ever has. The only person degrading our government is you, Mr. President. https://t.co/ehFqO9E4Ay   Katherine Clark (@RepKClark) July 14, 2019 US Representative Joe Kennedy III echoed those sentiments. "This is their country," Kennedy tweeted. "One they fight for every day despite the racism and sexism and hate. You don't make them flinch. They stay in the ring, for all of us." This is their country. One they fight for every day despite the racism and sexism and hate. You don't make them flinch. They stay in the ring, for all of us. https://t.co/mzNr0RXCeq   Rep. Joe Kennedy III (@RepJoeKennedy) July 14, 2019 US Representative Richard Neal responded to Trump's comments with a tweet from his campaign's Twitter account. "The Democratic Party is united against Trump's harmful policies and xenophobia," Neal's tweet said. "I am proud to serve and lead in the most diverse Congress in history. We are a stronger Party & country because everyone has a seat at the table. Together we will elect a Democratic President in 2020." US Representative Stephen Lynch said in a statement, "To have America's Commander in Chief continuously making xenophobic comments such as this is offensive to the Office of the Presidency and contrary to American ideals. These discriminatory remarks are hurtful to efforts to resolve the immigration issue and only further divide Americans." Emily Sweeney can be reached at esweeney@globe.com .

The Golden State Warriors are facing elimination on Monday night. They trail the Toronto Raptors 3-1 in the NBA Finals and their dreams of a third straight championship are on life support. Andrew Bogut, who was in Golden State for the 2015 championship run and the 2016 Finals run, knows that counting out the Warriors is a risky proposition . This team has been through hoop wars as a unit, rallying from a 3-1 deficit in the 2016 Western Conference Finals before blowing a 3-1 lead in those same NBA Finals. Said Bogut of the character of this team: This group has been though hell and back numerous times - dealing with injuries, dealing with guys in-and-out of lineups, all the media attention we've had over the last 12 months has been crazy; we've seen everything, so this will be just another cog in that chapter hopefully. The Warriors have been the most scrutinized team over the past few years. From questions about Stephen Curry's impact on the game to the hiring of coach Steve Kerr to the controversial signing of Kevin Durant, this team has been involved in a media circus. Yet they have always pushed through the adversity. Facing this 3-1 deficit will be tough to handle, but if there's any team to rally from this situation, it's this one. Bogut knows the odds are against his team but still has faith: The odds are against us, no one's giving us much of a chance because NBA history says this [coming back from 3-1 down] doesn't happen very often - it actually happened to us three or four years ago - so we think we can still salvage the series, but we kind of have to play three perfect games to beat these guys who are playing really good basketball. Golden State will attempt the first step of this journey on Monday night at 9:00 p.m. ET from Scotiabank Arena (ABC).
