After a 105-92 loss Friday to the Toronto Raptors, the Golden State Warriors are down, 3-1, in the NBA Finals. The series score is a familiar one for the defending champs, but being on the wrong end of it is not. The series returns to Toronto for Monday's Game 5 with the home team being one win away from the franchise's first title. But Draymond Green is hoping the Warriors end up being on the right side of a 3-1 meltdown in the finals this time around. After the Game 4 loss at home, Green was asked about the team's pride after having won three championships in the last four years, and he said: "That's important to have that pride, to have the faith in what we're capable of. We just got to take it one game at a time. We got to win one game. We win one, then we'll build on that. But I've been on the wrong side of 3-1 before, so why not make our own history?" That wrong side of history is, of course, the one season in the last four years when the Warriors didn't win the championship. Against the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, they were up in the series, but they became the first team to blow a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, losing to LeBron James and co. Golden State's collapse led to years of ridicule and countless jokes, which still regularly come back to haunt the team . But in the 2016 season, it wasn't actually all bad for the Warriors when it came to 3-1 series leads. In the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State lost three of the first four games, and once again, the defending champs were on the brink of elimination. But the series returned to Oakland for Game 5, and the Warriors won that and the next two to survive a 3-1 deficit. The huge difference being down this time - aside from personnel and injury issues - is that Game 5 (Monday, 9 p.m. ET) of the series is on the road for the Warriors. And the odds are still seriously stacked against them with teams are 1-33 all-time after being down 3-1 in the NBA Finals.

Free agency opens a week from today, and there are quite a few prominent players set to hit the open market, while many teams have key restricted free agents to re-sign as well. The Wild have few UFA's to worry about, but there are several young RFAs in need of new deals with little experience in Minnesota. Here's a closer look at their free agent situation: Key Restricted Free Agents : F Kevin Fiala   The lone return for center Mikael Granlund at the trade deadline, Fiala arrived in Minnesota with high expectations. Will the terms of his extension reflect that? Or will the Wild push for a short-term "show me" deal? That's the question facing the former top prospect of the Nashville Predators, the No. 11 overall pick in 2014. Although he has 223 NHL games to his credit, Fiala played in only 19 games with the Wild and contributed just seven points. With that said, he still totaled 39 points on the season and had 48 points the previous campaign. Fiala is not eligible for salary arbitration yet, so he does not have that added leverage, but on a long-term extension he could make a fair case for an average annual value of $5 million-plus. A bridge deal would keep that number lower until Fiala can prove that his numbers in Nashville can be replicated in Minnesota. F Ryan Donato   Like Fiala, Donato landed in Minnesota with much fanfare, both as the core return for Charlie Coyle and as a decorated and talked-about rookie. While Donato had struggled early on in the season with the Boston Bruins, recording nine points in 34 games and frequently being exposed defensively, he excelled right away with the Wild, adding 16 points in 22 games. While that level of production might be a lofty expectation, Minnesota is certainly excited to have Donato and could be looking into a long-term deal. However, with Donato having played only 68 career games, his value is not as high as it would be after a full NHL season, and his camp will probably settle for a one- or two-year deal with a low salary number to allow him to prove his worth in time for a new contract. Donato does have arbitration rights, but it would be a surprise if he files. F Joel Eriksson Ek   While Eriksson Ek played in 17 fewer games this season than last, he scored at a higher per-game clip, saw more ice time and improved his defensive play. At 22, Eriksson Ek is still growing, but his production thus far leaves a lot to be desired from a recent first-round pick. Through 148 NHL games over three seasons with the Wild, Eriksson Ek has just 37 points and still has yet to really carve out an identifiable role. Minnesota won't quit on him just yet, but it may try to sign him to his one-year, $874K qualifying offer to see if one more year helps to clarify his long-term fit and potential. Other RFAs: F Pontus Aberg , D Louie Belpedio , D Michael Kapla , F Chase Lang , F Dante Salituro, D Carson Soucy , F Nico Sturm , D Hunter Warner Key Unrestricted Free Agents: F Eric Fehr   The veteran Fehr did well for himself last season, returning to relevance after many had written him off following uninspiring stops in Pittsburgh, Toronto and San Jose over the previous few years. Fehr signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Wild last summer and proved to be a good value, recording 15 points and playing an important defensive role up front. The 33-year-old played in 72 games and, despite pedestrian minutes, still managed to finish second among all Minnesota forwards in blocked shots and sixth in takeaways. Fehr was a reliable penalty killer and an asset at the face-off dot, especially considering his team-leading 68% defensive zone starts. Age hasn't affected Fehr's size and defensive instincts, so he will be valued as a veteran fourth-line option on the market. Still, after other recent stints did not work out so well for Fehr, one has to think that he might be willing to stick at or near his current price point to remain in Minnesota, where he has the best chance of continuing to play his game at the highest level. D Nate Prosser   After Prosser failed to find a role in Minnesota last year, heading down to AHL Iowa with just 15 games and no points to show for his season to date, some wondered if he would ever end up back in the NHL. Yet, Prosser took full advantage of his minor-league opportunity, recording eight points in 31 games but more importantly playing a shutdown role and showing leadership on the ice en route to a deep playoff run. The Athletic's Michael Russo reports that the showing has done Prosser some good, as the 33-year-old has drawn "lots of attention" from prospective suitors. The only time in his career that Prosser strayed from Minnesota   a brief and failed stint with the St. Louis Blues   he wound up back with the Wild that same year. However, it's fair to assume that he'll entertain other offers this offseason, as Minnesota already has seven defenders signed to one-way deals next season and Prosser's opportunity to make an impact will likely be greater elsewhere. Other UFAs: D Anthony Bitetto , F Landon Ferraro , G Andrew Hammond , F Cal O'Reilly , F Matt Read Projected Cap Space: The Wild are in good shape financially, close to $20 million below the salary-cap ceiling of $81.5 million and only Fiala among the free agents listed who could command a salary that will eat into that total very much. With that said, GM Paul Fenton and company will still need to be wise with their extensions to maximize the space they can use to explore the market and improve a roster that is going through a major overhaul.


While he's looking forward to Saturday's Gander Outdoors Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway, Harrison Burton still isn't completely over his run-in at New Hampshire with Paul Menard . Appearing on Tuesday's SiriusXM NASCAR Radio's "On Track" show with Danielle Trotta and Larry McReynolds, the 18-year-old Burton, son of NBC Sports' analyst and former NASCAR racer Jeff Burton, spoke more at length about Saturday's tangle with Menard in the Xfinity Series race. " Honestly, I was completely surprised when I got wrecked," the younger Burton said. "I didn't know if (Menard) had done it on purpose or not. It felt like a hard hit, so I figured he did. I was kind of surprised at the time that it happened. " I went back and watched the race when I got home and tried to look at it as objectively as I could and there were two incidents where I had gotten slight contact with Paul in the race. … I made a later move into the corner, but I didn't come up into him and thought it was just a racing deal where he came down, thinking we was clear and we weren't. He didn't see it that way. Then I got into his door a touch at a short track, which I felt was pretty standard NASCAR racing, just a little touch, nothing really too bad and then I got wrecked. " I tried to be objective as a I could and didn't feel like I did anything that I would go back and change. And that's just how I saw it. It's a tough incident because I felt like we had raced clean all day. The whole race, people were very aggressive and banging into each other, which makes for good racing and cool racing and fun racing. But I guess Paul didn't see it that way and I got wrecked because of it." After the race, Harrison Burton went on social media and quickly saw reaction from fans, both for him and also for Menard in their dust-up. " After incidents like that, I try not to scroll through social media and hear about what people have to say about me or other people because there's a lot of negativity out there sometimes, and that sometimes is just the takeaway," Burton said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. "But, for whatever reason after this race, I figured I'd look to see what people were saying because I was really confused as to why I got wrecked. "I saw some people side with Paul and that's what's great about this sport, fans debating what's right and wrong. It creates conversation around this sport and I think that's a good thing. People are talking about racing and that's good. So overall, I think there's some good things you can take away from it from looking at social media, but there's some bad things you can take away from it as well." Harrison Burton not only had to read the fallout from his wreck with Menard on social media, he also empathized with his father, Jeff, who called the race on TV. " He went really quiet after that because he didn't want to interject and say anything that was biased, and I think he did a really good job at that trying to be as neutral as he could be and be the best broadcaster he could be for NBC," Harrison Burton said. "He had to kind of take his dad hat off that day, did a really good job and handled it well. " I'm sure it was a difficult situation for him up there, but I'm pretty happy with the way he handled it and let me do my own deal." Burton has moved on from the incident with Menard and is ready for Saturday's Truck race at Pocono, a place where he has three previous starts in the ARCA Series, including a win there last year. " I'm excited to go to Pocono and have an opportunity to go race again, especially after something like that, you can put it past you and go do your job again, which is great," Burton said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Even though he is fifth in the Truck Series' standings, Burton comes into the race outside a playoff position with three races left   Pocono, Eldora and Michigan. Five of the eight playoff spots have been locked in by virtue of a win for the driver, with three others (points leader Grant Enfinger , Stewart Friesen and Matt Crafton ) ahead of Burton in the standings. Burton is 44 points behind Crafton for the eighth and final playoff spot. Follow @JerryBonkowski


The New England Patriots are going to win the AFC East in 2019 says Touchdown Wire. The NFL Wire can find its way to making bold predictions, but this time our friends kept it status quo. In an effort to predict the divisional winners for the 2019 season, Touchdown Wire predicts the New England Patriots, who've owned the division for nothing short of the past two decades, will once again take the "W" in 2019. Here's how it explained the decision: It would be great to go out on a limb and pick someone other than the Patriots. It would also be lunacy. The Jets, Dolphins and Bills all have flaws and simply don't look like they have done close to enough to threaten Tom Brady & Co. In any given season picking the Patriots is the safe pick. Another layer is their 2018 season. The Pats are the defending champions, so it's the smart pick as long as Brady and head coach Bill Belichick are still around. In terms of the rest of the division, whoever steps closer will depend on their 2018 quarterback. The Bills have Josh Allen, while Sam Darnold is still with the Jets. Now the Dolphins have Josh Rosen, too. All three were first-round picks at the 2018 NFL draft. Can anyone turn out to be a "David" that can take down the "Goliath" of the AFC East in 2019? The Bills might have the leg up on the competition as Buffalo has had an established defense on their side for the past two seasons while both the Jets and Dolphins have brand new coaching staffs at the helm. Advantage Bills? Well…Tragically the safet bet is that Brady will continue his reign. Oh well.

Cubs infielder David Bote had one of the best offensive games of the 2019 season Wednesday, going 4-for-4 with a home run and seven runs batted in to help his team to a 9-8 win over the Rockies. The 26-year-old failed to reach base in both of the Cubs' games since then, but he's still off to a rousing start this season. After hitting .239/.319/.408 (95 wRC+) with six home runs during his 210-plate appearance debut in 2018, Bote has slashed .276/.349/.481 (117 wRC+) with seven HRs in 175 PAs this year. So far, Bote   an 18th-round pick in 2012   is more than justifying the Cubs' decision to hand him a five-year, $15 million extension in April. Bote was one of the least known players to receive a new deal during MLB's extension craze back in the spring, although he might be establishing himself as a long-term cog for the Cubs. However, whether Bote's Year 2 improvement is real or a mirage is still up in the air. As was the case last season, Bote is walking in more than 9 percent of plate appearances. That's a bit above the league-average mark (8.7). At the same time, Bote has slashed his strikeout percentage from 28.6 to 25.1, cut his swinging-strike rate a hair and made more contact. So far, so good. On the other hand, even though Bote possesses better speed than most, he's unlikely to sustain the .340 batting average on balls in play that has helped prop up his numbers this year. That's especially true considering that Bote has become much more of a fly-ball hitter since last season. On that subject, it's worth noting that Bote has hit the ball with far less authority when he has elevated it this year compared to his initial campaign. Bote battered fly balls and line drives at a lofty 96.6 mph average in 2018, but that figure has sunk just below 93 this year, according to Statcast . Because of that information, it's unsurprising Bote's expected weighted on-base average (.315) comes up well short of his real wOBA (.361). While stardom doesn't look as if it's in the offing for Bote (not yet, at least), his value to the Cubs is apparent. The inexpensive Bote's ability to chip in respectable offense while playing scratch to plus defense at second and third base is a package most teams would sign up for in a heartbeat. That certainly includes the Cubs, who haven't recalled infielder/outfielder Ian Happ since demoting him to Triple-A before the season, may never see utilityman extraordinaire Ben Zobrist put on their uniform again and have received woeful production from offseason second base pickup Daniel Descalso .


After putting together a Pro Bowl caliber season, veteran tight end Jared Cook decided to leave the team via free agency, signing with the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, he signed with the NFC powerhouse late into the free agency process, leaving the cupboard bare for the Raiders. Heading into training camp, it's pretty easy to make the case that the tight end position is, by far, the weakest on the roster. That is why many believe the team could make a move before the start of the season. In a recent piece by Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report , he named the one move every team needs to make before the start of the 2019 season. For the Raiders, he suggested adding a veteran tight end to the mix. Take a look at Knox's thoughts on the tight end position as a whole for Oakland. The Oakland Raiders lost Pro Bowl tight end Jared Cook in free agency, which leaves them thin at the position. The good news is that the team appears to be confident in tight end Darren Waller, who is entering his fourth year after missing 2017 because of a suspension. The bad news is there is little depth behind Waller aside from rookie fourth-round pick Foster Moreau. The Raiders can address this by signing a veteran free agent such as Dion Sims, Antonio Gates or Lance Kendricks (who could face league discipline for marijuana possession) by seeking a trade or sorting through the preseason cut pile. Unfortunately, there just aren't many quality tight ends on the free agent market or that could be available via trade. It's unlikely the Chargers would move on from their future Hall of Fame tight end Antonio Gates as Knox suggested. Oakland is more likely to let Darren Waller "fail" at the position before trading for a veteran. Don't expect the Raiders to make any rash moves at the position any time soon.

According to a report by Italian publication Il Tempo , Roma winger Stephan El Shaarawy is transferring to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua. The 26-year-old is coming off one of the best seasons of his career as Roma's leading scorer with 11 goals and named to the WhoScored team of the season based on their rating system. Still, he is heading into the final year of his contract with the club and talks have reportedly stalled on a new deal. The report states that Roma is close to agreeing on a deal with Shanghai worth $20.5 million that is desperately needed by the club to balance the books. El Shaarawy will reportedly sign a three-year deal with the Chinese club and will earn a whopping $14.8 million per year after tax. The Italian international will join Odion Ighalo at Shanghai, with the team coached by former Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores who joined in December. The club has struggled mightily in his first season in charge, winning just its third match of the year last time out on Friday having played 14 thus far, putting them in 12th out of 16 top flight teams. It will be interesting to see how the transfer potentially affects El Shaarawy's status with the Italian national team, which has infamously frozen players out in the past for moving to clubs outside of Europe, including Sebastian Giovinco who was left out of the squad repeatedly despite performing exceptionally well for years in Major League Soccer. El Shaarawy would be the only current Italian international to play in the Chinese league, so there is little precedent for this particular league as of yet. He owns 23 caps for the national team and was an unused substitute in their last match, a 2-1 Euro qualifying win over Bosnia & Herzegovina on June 11. The Il Tempo report also says that Edin Dzeko and Kostas Manolas will be sacrificed as the club looks to raise funds to ensure a net gain during the year. Dzeko is heavily linked with Inter, while Manolas is connected to Napoli. Follow @the_bonnfire


For the first time since Saturday's El Paso shooting that left 22 people dead, the parents of alleged shooter Patrick Crusius are speaking out. In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, the family wrote that "Patrick's actions were apparently influenced and informed by people we do not know, and from ideas and beliefs we do not accept or condone." They continued, "He was raised in a family that taught love, kindness, respect, and tolerance   rejecting all forms of racism, prejudice, hatred, and violence." The statement comes the same day a Walmart employee coalition has scheduled a nationwide walkout to protest the chain's gun sales. And in El Paso, where emotions are still raw, survivors are returning to the store to retrieve their cars. Kianna Long couldn't hold back tears as she finally returned to the Walmart on Tuesday. "It was just... the quick bursts... boom, boom, boom..." she said through sobs. "My husband asked me what it was. He was like, 'is that gunshots?' I told him I didn't know, because it sounded like fireworks. And then I turned and I look and I see people running and saying 'he's shooting, he's shooting, he's shooting!'" In the wake of the attack, authorities are learning more about the alleged shooter's movements after he stormed the Walmart. El Paso police confirmed the suspect was driving a Honda Civic and had gone about a quarter mile from the store. He reportedly stopped, got out of the car with his hands in the air, and surrendered to an officer on a motorcycle. Now, as El Paso grieves, some of the injured are well enough to share their stories. That includes Octavio Ramiro Lizarde, who had several reconstructive surgeries after he was shot in the foot. "I just feel grateful I'm alive," he said. "He had the chance to kill me but he didn't." His nephew, 15-year-old Javier Rodriguez, was the youngest victim of the massacre . "I did lose my nephew in front of me," Lizarde said. "I won't go into details, but it was a horrible image and I hope nobody ever goes through it." Lizarde's pain is felt by an entire community this morning. That apparently includes he suspect's parents, who also said in their statement to the Journal that "there will never be a moment for the rest of our lives when we will forget each and every victim of this senseless tragedy."


TikTok has been downloaded over 1 billion times globally, surpassing both Facebook and Instagram in app installs. Three-year-old TikTok is owned by China's ByteDance, a start-up with a bigger valuation than Uber and funded by high-profile investors like SoftBank. The first major social media contender since Snapchat, TikTok only recently arrived in the U.S. before landing in hot water regarding data-privacy concerns and predatory practices. If you haven't heard of social media app TikTok, just wait. The short-form video app designed for sharing viral memes is already wildly popular among teenagers, even landing late-night TV host Jimmy Fallon as a fan. "What Tiktok does really effectively is reduce the distance and friction between people, other people and information. You download the app and you're instantly engaged," CNET producer Dan Patterson told CBSN. It's also the first major contender since Snapchat to possibly disrupt a market dominated by social media behemoth Facebook. The mere three-year-old startup even comes with a history of data-privacy controversies. Created by China start-up ByteDance in 2016, TikTok has already been downloaded over 1 billion times globally, surpassing both Facebook and Instagram in app installs last year, according to analytics site Sensor Tower. TikTok was downloaded 663 million times around the world last year. For comparison, Facebook was downloaded 711 million times last year, and Instagram claimed 444 million downloads. And that number keeps ticking: TikTok clocked in 188 million more installs in this year's first quarter, winning it the top spot again among social networking apps. TikTok's figures are particularly impressive, not just because TikTok is a young company, but because they exclude installs from third-party Android stores in China, meaning the actual download count is much higher. TikTok, called Douyin in China, is a phenomenon in a country where both Facebook and Instagram are banned. It's also more than just a plucky tech start-up. ByteDance, which owns TikTok, is the single largest start-up in the world, surpassing Uber in valuation with $78 billion. It has funding from some of the world's highest-profile investors, including Japanese conglomerate SoftBank (also an investor in Uber). However, TikTok has already come under fire from government regulators and parents for data-privacy concerns and what some critics call predatory practices on the app regarding children. History of data-privacy and predatory concerns TikTok ran afoul of U.S. regulators in February when, after merging with Chinese-owned app Musical.ly in August, it settled a case with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for $5.7 million , the largest civil penalty the agency has collected for a children's data-privacy case. The FTC complaint said Musical.ly did not seek parental consent before collecting names, email addresses and other personal information and noted that "there have been public reports of adults trying to contact children via the Musical.ly app." In response, TikTok said it would split users into "age-appropriate TikTok environments," but critics say there's no way to ensure users are telling the truth. In England, the social media company came under fire in February from British charity group National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children when it said it surveyed 40,000 schoolchildren and discovered that one-quarter of them had livestreamed with a stranger. One in 20 schoolchildren said they were asked to take their clothes off, according to the NSPCC. TikTok is not the first social media app to come under fire for data-privacy controversies regarding children, but while social media giants like Facebook are shifting towards privacy and insular communities, TikTok is a platform set up for viral exchanges. That means that information can pass hands a little too quickly -- one reason why India, which counts for 25 percent of the Tiktok app's downloads, temporarily banned the app last month over fears that pornographic content were being made available. An Indian court lifted the ban on the condition the platform not be used to host obscene videos.   The Associated Press contributed to this report.


During his press conference on Saturday, Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said the team would go outside the organization for advice on how utilize its time correctly considering it doesn't play again until May 27, which is still eight days away. The Athletic's Joe McDonald (subscription required) adds that Sweeney was talking about consulting the New England Patriots of the NFL, a team that has spent quite a bit of time playing in Super Bowl games. In fact, Boston's four major franchises have combined for 12 titles this century, but with six Super Bowl Championships, the Patriots may know how to stay sharp more than anyone. The team hopes to take some of Bill Belichick's tips to heart. "Hopefully they'll be able to share some information with us," Sweeney said. There was initially some talk of an intra-squad game, but there is no real way to simulate a Stanley Cup Final game, nor is the team thrilled about opening up its players to possible injury. In the end, rest might be the best course of action. Sweeney said: "In the short term, it's really beneficial for our group. We've been pedal to the metal here, mentally and physically, for a while. I do believe in the short term it will help us a lot. Then it's incumbent upon us to simulate the best we can with what's going to be required going forward." Here's more from around the league... TVA Sports (translation required) suggests that while there are plenty of rumors surrounding the Montreal Canadiens being interested in putting together an offer sheet to pry Mitch Marner away from the Toronto Maple Leafs, the writer suggests instead the team should use an offer sheet instead to get Kasperi Kapanen , which would have a much higher chance of success. If the Canadiens offer Kapanen a deal anywhere from $4.23M to $6.63M for at least three years, the compensation would only be a first- and a third-round pick, which would likely be worth the acquisition. The New York Post's Joseph Staszewski reports 2019 draft prospect Kaapo Kakko said that his goal is to become the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft to the New Jersey Devils. Kakko is currently expected to be the second overall pick in the draft, slated to go to the New York Rangers with prospect Jack Hughes expected to end up in New Jersey. However, an impressive showing so far at the World Championships for Finland might be enough to push him one notch higher. "This is a big thing for me for the draft," Kakko told NHL.com through a translator. "I think I can be the first [pick]. "I've played well. I haven't paid much attention to Jack Hughes and his game, but I'm confident I've been able to let everyone see my skills and the level of my game. It's not going to be an easy choice for the teams." Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press looks back at the Detroit Red Wings' 2015 NHL Draft, analyzing its success. The team drafted Evgeny Svechnikov that year, who lost some valuable development time last season when he was forced to undergo ACL surgery in September. While the team still has a few pending prospects from that draft, the key to the draft will be Svechnikov, who so far has just two goals in 16 games and needs a bounce-back season if the Red Wings don't want to look at that draft as a failure.


Anthony Davis has already reached a level of trust with LeBron James in less than a month that many of his former Lakers teammates never had the privilege of earning: an invitation to the world's most famous taco party. Davis was a guest at last night's Taco Tuesday at the James house, which has become well-known thanks to James' performative 'Taco Tuesday' chants and the way he gets the entire family to join in just as enthusiastically (except his wife, Savannah). James also had a t-shirt to go with his favorite day of the culinary calendar.

And as far as Anthony Davis is concerned, it's not a bad thing to see the two best players on the team finding ways to connect away from the floor, something that didn't really exist on last year's Lakers team.

Got a hankering for seafood? Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best high-end seafood hot spots in Atlanta, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to venture when cravings strike. 1. The Optimist Topping the list is The Optimist . Located at 914 Howell Mill Road in Home Park, the cocktail bar and music venue, which offers seafood and more, is the most popular high-end seafood spot in Atlanta, boasting four stars out of 1,429 reviews on Yelp. The Optimist is tucked into a one-time ham-aging house, but seafood is definitely its theme. One of top Atlanta restaurateur Ford Fry's establishments, it says it strives to provide "a seaside fish-camp experience in landlocked Atlanta," with sustainably sourced offerings including Georgia trout and Maine sea scallops. For those who like their seafood as natural as possible, there's a long list of oysters from both Northern and Southern waters and crudos of swordfish, salmon, scallops and tuna. Lobster rolls are another feature. Yelper Sheena G. wrote , "One of my best culinary experiences in America! ... The menu is so vibrant with interesting offerings that it's a bit of a challenge to choose." 2. The Capital Grille Next up is Buckhead's The Capital Grille , situated at 255 E. Paces Ferry Road NE. With 4.5 stars out of 405 reviews on Yelp, the steakhouse and wine bar, which offers seafood and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking to indulge. If you like some turf with your surf, this representative of the national chain is an elegant and traditional choice. Menu offerings include seared tenderloin with butter-poached lobster tails. Sea scallops, sushi-grade tuna and sea bass are among other offerings, as well as lobster mac and cheese. The 350-bottle wine list covers the Old World and New. Yelper Karnesha S. wrote , "I had the lobster bisque, which was so rich and creamy and full of lobster! I will dream about this soup! I had the sea bass for my entree   it was cooked to perfection with a nicely seasoned crust." 3. Kevin Rathbun Steak Inman Park's Kevin Rathbun Steak , located at 154 Krog St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the fancy steakhouse, which offers seafood and more, four stars out of 764 reviews. Rathbun's was judged one of America's 21 best steakhouses by the Robb Report, but its seafood offerings also win praise, including grilled ahi tuna, pan-roasted diver scallops and delicate Dover sole, when it's available. It doesn't hurt that Rathbun's is in one of Atlanta's hippest neighborhoods. Yelper Nauman B. described it as "where style meets taste." 4. Ray's in the City Ray's in the City , a sushi bar and traditional American spot that offers seafood and more downtown, is another pricey go-to, with four stars out of 654 Yelp reviews. Head over to 240 Peachtree St. NW to see for yourself. Ray's in the City is the downtown branch of the venerable Ray's on the River, a suburban mainstay that has managed to thrive in the competitive Atlanta restaurant scene since 1984. Close to the major convention hotels and, appropriately, the Georgia Aquarium, Ray's in the City offers a casual-but-classy approach that ranges from burgers to an ever-changing list of fresh, market seafood, including jumbo lump crabcakes and a platter with lobster, fish, shrimp and scallops. There's also sushi, sashimi and poke. Yelper Joel C. wrote , "Great food and great service. What else can you say?" 5. St. Cecilia And then there's St. Cecilia , a Buckhead favorite with four stars out of 557 reviews. Stop by 3455 Peachtree Road NE to hit up the Italian spot, which offers seafood and more, next time you're looking to go big. A Ford Fry project like The Optimist, St. Cecilia offers an Italian-accented menu with handmade pastas, including squid ink malfaldini, and seafood entrees like braised monkfish with spring vegetables and prosciutto brodo and harissa marinated swordfish with salsa verde. It also has an afternoon apero hour on the patio, with apertifs such as port and sherry and digestifs like oysters, olives and assorted salumi. Yelper Katelyn W. wrote , "Everything about it was perfect! Came here to celebrate my birthday   it was elegant, sophisticated and, most importantly, delicious!"

Friends, family and community members gathered for the funeral of a 3-year-old girl who was killed during a road rage shooting. Brooklyn Harris died July 13. "I'm praying that all these kids should be safe out here. It shouldn't be no more death with nobody. Whoever is angry they need to go get some help," said Brooklyn's grandmother, Lasagna Ferguson. Brooklyn's family is praying for justice. Her funeral had the feel of a girl's birthday party. There were pink balloons, Minnie Mouse and a table of pink treats. "She didn't even get a chance to enjoy being 3 years old," Ferguson said. Brooklyn's father proudly displayed her photos on his T-shirt. Police said Antonio Bratcher fired into the car Brooklyn's mom was driving, killing Brooklyn. "It's like you hear about it going on and on: kids getting killed. And they're the innocent ones," Ferguson said. Brooklyn's death made her an unfortunate ambassador of Milwaukee's gun violence, and triggered outrage across the city. Assistant Police Chief Ray Banks and Mayor Tom Barrett attended the funeral to pay their respects. Barrett described Brooklyn as "angelic" and called her death devastating and sad. "For a little girl to lose her life in a situation like that, is unbelievable, unbelievable. Obviously, everyone is grieving. Individuals in our city have to change their behavior. It's just unbelievable how this happened," he said. "I'm praying that young man that he has some kind of heart and says he's really sorry, the one who took her away from us," Ferguson said. Bratcher was scheduled to be in court again Thursday. Brooklyn is one of five children killed in Milwaukee so far this year. There have been 23 children under the age of 17 who have been shot and survived since Jan. 1.

Provided by Cover Video We can bet that you've never stayed in (or seen) a hotel like this one before. Turkish architectural design studio Hayri Atak has proposed this jaw-dropping accommodation (complete with a super scary hanging pool ), and the internet isn't sure what to make of it. The proposed boutique hotel in question would be built into Norway's famous Preikestolen, a 1,982-foot cliff in the southern part of the country that has attracted a ton of tourists from around the world. In theory, the boutique hotel and hanging pool would overlook the Norwegian fjord and provide some incredible views of the Scandinavian wilderness. You'd enter into the hotel through the rooftop entrance on the very top of the cliff while the rest of the rooms would be reached lower into the natural structure. Each floor would have its own observation deck, perfect for looking out onto the incredible cliffs and water below. The lowest level, on the deck, would feature a protruding pool with an entirely glass floor. As you swim, you'll be able to look down at the 2,000 foot drop below we dare you not to freak out! Daredevils and adrenaline junkies, don't start booking your flights to Norway just yet as of right now, the boutique hotel proposal is still just a concept. Hayri Atak is also responsible for a ton of other wild concept structures, like a translucent train station in Berlin and a spiral bird observation tower in Latvia both of which we'd be happy to see (along with the cliff-side hotel) come to life.


A Kosovar man living in Malaysia who accessed the personal data of more than 1,300 government and military employees, and passed that data onto the Islamic State, has been arrested in Malaysia on U.S. charges, the Department of Justice announced Thursday. Ardit Ferizi also accessed customer data from an unidentified Internet retailer, obtaining credit card information on 100,000 customers, according to a federal indictment unsealed in Virginia. Ferizi, allegedly head of a group of Albanian hackers from Kosovo, even went so far as to admonish employees of the retailer via email when they detected his penetration of their system and blocked him. According to a lengthy affidavit filed by FBI special agent Kevin Gallagher, who is based out of the Washington field office, Ferizi had unauthorized access to a federal computer and used that access to obtain email addresses, cities of residence, dates of birth and other personal identifying information on 1,351 government and military workers, and passed those names onto the Islamic State terrorist group between April and August. He transferred the information via links he posted to Twitter, the affidavit said, "for the purpose of encouraging terrorist attacks against against the individuals." He also used the social media site to communicate to two known Islamic State members, Tariq Hamayun   also known as Abu Muslim al-Britani   and Junaid Hussain   also known as Abu Hussain al-Britani. Hussain died in August in an air strike in Raqqah, Syria. The activity prompted the Islamic State Hacking Division to tweet a message to "crusaders" engaged in a "bombing campaign" against Muslims: "We are in your emails and computer systems, watching and recording your every move, we have your names and addresses … we are extracting confidential data and passing on your personal information to the soldiers of the khilafah, who soon with the permission of Allah will strike your necks in your own lands!" Regarding the retailer, not named in the document, Ferizi accessed a server in Phoenix in June that belongs to an Internet hosting company that maintain's the company's website, according to the affidavit. On Aug. 13, the retailer contacted the FBI to report unauthorized access to its site, Gallagher wrote. As of spring 2015, Ferizi has been living in Malaysia on a student visa and studying at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology in Cyberjaya, Malaysia.


Y our adult children may be depleting your nest egg -- and it's probably your own fault. Are your kids putting your retirement at risk? SEE ALSO: Should You Treat Your Kids Equally in Your Will? Nope Parents of adult children give their kids about $500 billion annually--double the amount they contribute to their own retirement accounts, according to recent research by Merrill Lynch and Age Wave. And roughly half of parents in a recent Bankrate survey said that paying their adult children's bills was jeopardizing their own retirement security. Nearly 80% of parents give their adult children some form of financial support, Merrill Lynch found, whether it's footing everyday bills such as cell-phone service or helping with mortgage payments and other big-ticket items. A "stunning number" are willing to make major financial sacrifices for their adult kids, such as yanking money out of their retirement accounts, says Lisa Margeson, head of retirement client experience at Bank of America. One in four said they'd take on debt to support their kids, Merrill found. Financial advisers say they're battling to protect clients' retirement savings from adult kids. "Most of my clients are helping adult children in one way or another," says Lynn Ballou, senior vice president and partner at EP Wealth Advisors, in Lafayette, Calif. In the best cases, she says, parents can afford it, and the assistance helps the kids move toward financial independence. But in the worst cases, the financial help is just enabling the kids to live beyond their means and depleting the parents' nest egg. Parents' support of adult children has grown amid rising education costs and weak wage growth. Last year, Nick Kovach helped his older adult daughter, who had been paying down student loans, with a down payment on a house, and he plans to do the same for his younger daughter. "Neither kid asked for help," says Kovach, 62, a retired oncologist in Olympia, Wash. But "our motto has always been that we had their backs so long as they are moving forward." While he's reasonably confident that he's not jeopardizing his retirement security, Kovach says, "who the heck knows what tomorrow brings?" If markets head south or he makes some poor investment decisions, he says, "we could be in a world of hurt." Tighten the Purse Strings How do you know when your financial support of an adult child has gone too far? One red flag is when "parents can't see the end" of these expenditures, says Jim Ciprich, an adviser at RegentAtlantic, in Morristown, N.J.--in other words, your support isn't putting the kids on a path to independence. And if you find yourself significantly altering your lifestyle or pulling money from your retirement accounts, it's time to start examining your level of support, advisers say. First, start talking. If you want to help your children, ask how you can be supportive without discouraging their independence, advisers say. Writing a check may not be the answer. Maybe you could help look after the grandkids in the evening, for example, so that your child can work a second job, Ballou says. If you do provide financial support, set limits. Make it clear that you have a budget and you're sticking to it. If you have multiple children, Ciprich says, just be aware that the assistance you provide one child may set expectations among the others. If you're having trouble closing the bank of mom and dad, consider involving a mediator. In a family meeting, for example, a financial adviser can do the math for your children and say, "see how everybody runs out of money at age 80? This has to stop," Ballou says. That way, she says, "there's no finger-pointing, no 'hey, you don't love me anymore.' " SEE ALSO: Why It's Important to Talk to Your Children About Your Financial Plan And if all else fails, you can send a not-so-subtle message. One client, Ballou says, sold her four-bedroom home to make her kids move out. "She moved into a two-bedroom condo, told them the date the house would close, and said, 'See ya.'

From time to time over the past few months, employees at the Maryland Book Bank have found a trash bag waiting for them on their loading dock in Woodberry   each one stuffed with "Healthy Holly" books. "Every time they've come in, it's never been just five or six" books, said Kim Crout, the nonprofit organization's program manager. "It's always been a trash bag of 20 or 30, and they're always just left here when we get in." The drop-offs began before the children's healthy lifestyle books became the subject of scandal in March. That's when The Baltimore Sun began a series of articles about their author, then-Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, making approximately $800,000 from selling them to the University of Maryland Medical System and other entities with business before the city. The Democratic mayor was a member of the hospital network's unpaid board of directors . Pugh subsequently resigned and is under investigation by the FBI, the state prosecutor's office and the city ethics board. In late April, FBI investigators raided City Hall and Pugh's two houses, among other locations, carrying out books and documents linked to the deals. Still, the volume of "Healthy Holly" books in Baltimore continues to swell. Pugh's attorney, Steve Silverman, said late last week that she has now fulfilled her "obligations" under a 2017 deal with UMMS to produce 20,000 books   the last of four such batches. Silverman would not say where the books went, and UMMS declined to comment. Officials with the Baltimore City Public Schools, where Pugh said the books were meant to go, said they never asked for them and didn't receive the latest installment. Silverman said the copies at the book bank aren't coming from Pugh. "No one associated with Healthy Holly LLC or Catherine Pugh has any knowledge that this is occurring, and if true, who is doing this and the source of the supply of books," he said Tuesday. Leaders of the book bank, which collects donated books and gives them to people in communities without regular access to them, don't know who is bringing the books, either. But they say they have continued to arrive at the big warehouse alongside train tracks in Woodberry. The books, once received, have something of a mixed market, they said. Crout said she has tried in the past to interest kids who come to the book bank or its roving Bookmobile in the "Healthy Holly" books. But the kids don't want them. "It's like they have a nose for the fact that they're crap," Crout said of the books, which suffer from editing mistakes. However, other people have shown intense interest in the books. Television news networks have asked the book bank for copies, offering to pay, and another person wanted to buy a complete set for $500, said Mark Feiring, the book bank's executive director. He turned them all down. "We don't sell kids' books at all. We just put them out there for people to take," Feiring said. And when he does put them out, they now get scooped up, he said, by adults who laugh and take pictures. "It's like finding the golden ticket," he said. "It's pretty funny." A lot of "Healthy Holly" books have come through the book bank. About a month before The Sun first reported on Pugh's deals with UMMS, a couple of boxes containing about 50 to 75 "Healthy Holly" books showed up, Feiring said. "I think they still had elastics on them. They were obviously brand-new," he said. After the scandal broke, Crout said a co-worker came to her and said, "I think I have something you want to see," before leading her to another bag of "Healthy Holly" books outside. "Some guy just dumped them in the back," Crout said. Feiring said volunteers sorting books have come across "Healthy Holly" books, as well. About 20 copies of the second book in the series   "Healthy Holly: A Healthy Start for Herbie"   arrived last week, he said. "I have one sitting on my desk that came in the other day," Feiring said Tuesday. Baltimore Sun reporter Mary Carole McCauley contributed to this article. krector@baltsun.com twitter.com/rectorsun


STATE COLLEGE   Some of the youngest members of this team carry the burden of rebuilding a reputation. The Penn State passing game became known for flourishing amid tough times, like surviving an increasingly brutal Big Ten East during NCAA sanctions. Expectations were set by quarterbacks Matt McGloin, Christian Hackenberg and Trace McSorley throwing to some of the best Nittany Lion receivers. Then came last year's sudden departure from the standard. From Allen Robinson to Chris Godwin to Mike Gesicki to DaeSean Hamilton? Suddenly, the Nittany Lions, including their most experienced receivers, started dropping one pass after another until it became an epidemic. By the end of last season, the three most reliable receivers were their youngest   true freshmen Jahan Dotson and Pat Freiermuth and redshirt freshman K.J. Hamler. Those sophomores are now the leaders, so to speak. They are the ones who must break in a new quarterback and reset that struggling offense   even change the perception of a Penn State team not getting much preseason hype. "We talk about that all the time just because it's kind of a chip on our shoulder," Dotson said. "A lot of people doubted us last year because we dropped a lot of balls … so we're going to have to make a lot of plays to get those fans back, those believers back." Freiermuth, who inexplicably led the team with eight touchdowns as a rookie, took that line of thinking a step further. "We're going to surprise a lot of people this year," he said. "I think we're going to be one of the most explosive offenses in the country. I kind of like it, everybody writing us off. "We're going to wake people up in the fall." On Wednesday, Penn State officials made their second-year players available for a rare interview session on the practice field behind the Lasch Building. Several are on the verge of starring roles heading into preseason camp. Among that group are former 5-star recruit Justin Shorter, school record-breaker Daniel George and Dotson, whose slender build and reliable hands reminds of former standouts Deon Butler and Jordan Norwood. Who would have thought these kids would have had to rescue this offense, in a sense, last year? By midseason, McSorley had suffered 17 dropped passes, most among Power 5 quarterbacks. The once-Heisman Trophy candidate went on to complete just 53 percent of his passes and the Lions lost four times, ending with another shaky pass-catching effort in the Citrus Bowl. Check it out: Introductory offer for new subscribers Head coach James Franklin promptly switched receiver coaches (Gerad Parker replacing fired David Corley) and, one by one, those struggling receivers left   DeAndre Thompkins signing as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles, Juwan Johnson transferring to Oregon and Brandon Polk leaving for James Madison. Now, these potential young stars must prove they've grown into the next step of development. The only other receiving options are junior Mac Hippenhammer (who moonlights as a Penn State baseball player) and two senior transfers who must learn the system. Sure enough, Hamler is quick-strike lightning, his 42 catches for 754 yards and five scores only telling part of the story. He's a threat to score every time he touches the ball. But the rest of the pass-catchers showed mostly in flashes last year. Significant growth is needed. Daniel George, for instance, made only two catches all season but took one of them 95 yards for a touchdown to set a school record. Will the big-bodied receiver be able to break into the rotation now? Dotson and Freiermuth talked about the need to be more competent gaining yards after the catch. "That's my biggest thing. A lot of times I'd catch the ball and it would either be a touchdown or I'd fall down," Freiermuth said with a smile. "This year that's going to be big for me. "I can promise you guys you're going to see a lot of (yards after catch), big plays and explosive plays from me in the fall." Sign up: Get Big Ten sports news delivered to your inbox Shorter was the highest-rated of them all coming out of high school and expected to make a major contribution last season until nagging injuries got in the way. He's 6-foot-4 and blessed with long arms and top-end speed. He said he's become a stronger receiver with more body control while waiting. "I can't wait for that first game because I already know I'm going to go out there confident and angry and start dominating," Shorter said. "Sitting out last year just made me itching to play …" This article originally appeared on York Daily Record: Penn State football: Young receivers promise to "wake people up" in 2019


Having 'the talk' with your kids can be awkward for them, but having them walk in on you in the middle of sex can be, well, very uncomfortable. "I think a lot depends on what exactly the child sees, along with their age," said Sara Dimerman , a Toronto-based registered psychologist and parenting expert. If a child is three or four years old and sees some movement under the covers, Dimerman says they may not realize their parents are being intimate. When it comes to an older child or teen, however, things can get tricky. WATCH BELOW: Parenting with patience "If the parents are fully exposed and their bodies are contorted in a way that is foreign for the child to see, and [he or] she is around the age of 11, then it may be upsetting, or even embarrassing," Dimerman told Global News. "Around the age of 16... [a child] might find it more 'gross' or disgusting because that's not the image they want to have of their parents." If your kid likely knows what they saw, it's important to talk to them. How to talk to kids about seeing sex Dimerman says parents should take cues from their child's reaction, and respond accordingly. READ MORE: Why some people have sex even when they aren't in the mood If a child is too young to realize what they just saw, or is seemingly unaware of the situation, a parent could "just respond to the child's need without making a big deal of it," Dimerman said. But if a kid freaked out or ran away after seeing their parents in the act, it's important to talk to them quickly. "A parent might say something like, 'I know it surprised you to see us naked on the bed together and being intimate,'" Dimerman said. "Then, validate [their] feelings with: 'It's always awkward and uncomfortable to walk in on parents having sex, and that's why our door was shut; because sex is something private. But we want you to know that you didn't do anything wrong, and to save you from feeling this way next time, how about knocking first?" The important thing is to not pretend the incident didn't happen. Ignoring sex can stigmatize the act and confuse children, said Sara Moore, an assistant professor of sociology at Salem State University who specializes in sexuality and family life. "Ignoring it may give the child an impression that sex is something to hide or be ashamed of," Moore told Global News. "While it may seem easy to 'save face' by pretending it didn't happen, parents then have little influence on how their child interprets what they saw." Be honest and open about sex Moore says children will be less affected if they walk in on their parents having sex if they actually understand what sex is. A lack of understanding can be upsetting for them. READ MORE: Why most 'dad shaming' comes from mom To help kids develop a healthy attitude towards intercourse, Moore says parents should talk to their kids about it at an early age. She says so many young people get misinformation from the media and pornography, which can harm perceptions of sex. Planned Parenthood says that when adults talk to their kids about sex, it reduces the likelihood that they'll engage in risky sexual behaviour. It also helps normalize sex, and create a healthy relationship with sexuality. Moore says sex conversations should be age-appropriate. For a kid in elementary school, for example, teaching them proper names for body parts and topics of consent are important. Moore says when her daughter was five and started asking where babies came from, she and her husband had a conversation with her about reproduction. "Having those conversations early and consistently will help children better understand what consensual sex is, and why people have sex to begin with," Moore said. "Nobody wants to see their parents having sex, but it's likely much more 'traumatic' for children when their experience is filtered through half-formed or ill-informed ideas about what sex is." The other thing all parents should remember? Lock the door if you're going to get intimate. "We live in a culture that suggests kids should have full access to their parents 100 per cent of the time," Moore said. "This isn't healthy for parents or their kids, and parents should let their kids know they sometimes need private, child-free time together." Laura.Hensley@globalnews.ca


Video by NBC News Beto O'Rourke on Wednesday answered his first question at the 2020 Democratic presidential debate in Miami   in both English and Spanish. The former Texas congressman was asked whether he would support taxing higher earners, as has been proposed by some of his Democratic rivals. "This economy has got to work for everyone and right now we know that it isn't," O'Rourke said. "And it's going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does." Without pausing, the El Paso native switched to Spanish. "We need to include every person in the success of this economy," O'Rourke said, according to a Yahoo News translation. "But if we want to do this we need to include every person in our democracy. Each vote, each voter needs the representation, and every voice needs to listen." O'Rourke then switched back to English. "Right now we have a system that favors those who can pay for access and outcomes," he said. "That's how you explain an economy that is rigged to corporations and the very wealthiest. A $2 trillion tax cut that favored corporations while they were sitting on piles of cash and the very wealthiest in this country at a time of historic wealth inequality." Wednesday's debate was broadcast live by NBC, MSNBC and the Spanish-language Telemundo. While the language switch may have caught some viewers by surprise, O'Rourke often delivers answers in both English and Spanish on the campaign trail. Later, O'Rourke fielded a question in Spanish from Telemundo's José Diaz-Balart, who was co-moderating the debate. The former congressman replied in both Spanish and English. O'Rourke wasn't the only candidate to deliver an answer in Spanish on Wednesday night. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey did so, too.

The Celtics have hired Olympic champion Kara Lawson as an assistant coach, the team announced Wednesday. We're excited to announce @karalawson20 is officially the first female assistant coach in our franchise's 73-year history. Welcome to the team :clap::shamrock: pic.twitter.com/GVsHOoQ27c   Boston Celtics (@celtics) July 3, 2019 Lawson, a former WNBA star who has served as an analyst for ESPN and the Wizards, has received interest for on-court coaching opportunities in the past but didn't act on them. ESPN reported , citing unidentified sources, that she couldn't turn down the opportunity to coach with Brad Stevens. She will fill the role left by Micah Shrewsberry, who accepted an assistant coaching job at Purdue this summer. Lawson, 38, played at Tennessee where she helped the Lady Volunteers make it to the Final Four three times before she was drafted fifth overall in 2003. She went on to play for the Sacramento Monarchs, Connecticut Sun and Washington Mystics until the 2015 season. She also helped the U.S. secure a gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The report comes a couple months after NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he hopes the league will include more female coaches   as well as female referees   in the near future. "The goal is: Going forward, it should be roughly 50-50 of new officials entering in the league," Silver said in May . "Same for coaches, by the way. We have a program, too. There's no reason why women shouldn't be coaching men's basketball." The league has never had a female head coach, but women have been hired as assistants.

Carmelo Anthony is not with an NBA team, and his time in the league is perhaps over. Folks have wondered aloud whether the Los Angeles Lakers would reunite the former New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets star with LeBron James , but the Lakers have reportedly been uninterested in his services. Team USA is heading into the World Cup this summer, and it's also been put forth that Anthony could play for his country once again. In fact, Anthony reportedly requested to play for Team USA this year, but it was a no-go. According to Jerry Colangelo, Anthony's request was denied because it was thought that he might be a distraction to the team. Via SI's Chris Mannix : "I love Carmelo," Colangelo said. "He made a great contribution. He was a very good international player. But for where we are and what we're doing, that conceivably could have been a distraction. I understand why the request was made. He's trying to reestablish himself. I think that has to be done in the [NBA]." Anthony is a 4-time Olympic medalist and played on the national team from 2004 to 2016. This is a young USA team that doesn't have superstars, and Anthony coming in as a veteran mentor seems far-fetched.What's more likely is that Anthony would come in and try to steal some of the spotlight with non-team play as a means to audition for another NBA gig. That's probably what Colangelo was thinking, anyway. I still don't know if Anthony is really done in the NBA. The question is whether Carmelo is willing to take a minimum salary deal, which is where he's at in his career. The NBA is wild, so don't rule out seeing Anthony in an NBA jersey once again.


Tracy Morgan's $2M car crash, Bradley Cooper-Irina Shayk split, Miley Cyrus groped, Lisa Vanderpump quits Housewives, more celeb news this week. Expensive accident Less than an hour after purchasing a $2 million Bugatti, Tracy Morgan got into a car accident while driving the luxury vehicle in New York City. On June 4, photos showed the brand new ride all banged up after it was hit by a Honda CR-V. According to reports, Tracy had driven off the dealer lot only 15 minutes before the accident . Afterward, he complained of hip pain and was transported by ambulance to a hospital. "Thanks for any concern but I am totally fine," he later tweeted. "My NEW CAR? We shall see. Love you all." On June 5, the driver of the other car said she was "traumatized" when the "Saturday Night Live" alum yelled at her and angrily banged on her vehicle following the minor accident. The other driver insisted the crash wasn't her fault. It's over Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk have split after four years together, multiple outlets confirmed on June 6. Sources provided the confirmation to People magazine, Us Weekly and more following days of rumblings that the actor-director and the model, who are parents to 2-year-old daughter Lea, were on the outs again following a previous round of breakup rumors in 2018. The most recent split talk started on June 3 when a source told Page Six that the pair's relationship was "hanging by a thread." Absolutely heartbreaking Country music singer Granger Smith revealed that his 3-year-old son, River, died following a "tragic accident." A rep told People magazine that River drowned at home. "I have to deliver unthinkable news," Granger wrote on social media on June 6. "We've lost our youngest son, River Kelly Smith. Following a tragic accident, and despite doctor's best efforts, he was unable to be revived. Amber and I made the decision to say our last goodbyes and donate his organs so that other children will be given a second chance at life." He and his family, he said, are "devastated and heartbroken" but "take solace in knowing he is with his Heavenly Father." Granger added, "Riv was special. Everyone that met him knew that immediately. The joy he brought to our lives cannot be expressed and his light will be forever in our hearts." He finished his post, writing, "There has never been a more difficult moment for us than this." Disturbing incident Miley Cyrus was groped and kissed by an aggressive fan on June 2 while in Barcelona, Spain, with her husband, Liam Hemsworth, for a music festival. Video showed the pop star and Liam walking past a large group of fans when suddenly, a male fan grabs for her hair, wraps his arm around her neck and pulls her in for a kiss. Miley moved her head to avoid the man's mouth and security quickly pushed him away. A day later, Miley responded to the incident on social media, writing on her Instagram Story, "She can be wearing what she wants. She can be a virgin. She can be sleeping with five different people. She can be with her husband. She can be with her girlfriend. She can be naked. She CAN'T be grabbed without her consent." She's out! After months of speculation , Lisa Vanderpump has revealed that her time on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is over. In a chat with DailyMail TV, the reality TV star confirmed she's leaving the show after nine seasons. In speaking about her castmates, she said, "I think they've made it pretty impossible for me to go back, frankly." She then firmly said "no" when asked if she planned to return to the show. She added that she has no plans to go to the upcoming cast reunion either. "The objective of the reunion is to reunite, right? I have no inclination to reunite with any of the women that have been harassing me for 10 months now, so in all probability, no," she said. A rep for Bravo diverted when asked to comment about Lisa's exit. "There is so much great drama and fun still to come this season, including the ladies' trip to France, so before we focus on next season, let's see where this one takes us," the rep said. Rich girl Say hello to the world's richest female musician: Rihanna . On June 4, Forbes reported that RiRi has a net worth of about $600 million and has surpassed the likes of Madonna, Beyonce and Celine Dion to claim her new title. Where did her earnings come from? Well music, yes, but also her partnership with French luxury goods behemoth LVMH, which is behind her Fenty Beauty line and her move into fashion. In addition to her beauty brand, Rihanna co-owns the Savage X Fenty lingerie line and has a newly launched clothing line with LVMH. Splitsville Joey Fatone has finally confirmed that he and his wife of nearly 15 years, Kelly Baldwin, have called it quits. The former *NSYNC member told Us Weekly that he and Kelly, who have two daughters, have been quietly separated for a while. "I was, at one point, married, and now I am separated, going through a divorce," he said in a story published on June 6. Page Six said the singer officially filed for divorce on May 13. The pair fended off split rumors in 2013. "We're still married … kids are great," he said at the time. "I'm deeply upset about [the rumors]. We're fine." Under investigation "Empire" actor Terrence Howard and wife Mira are being investigated by the federal government for criminal tax evasion, according to a new report published on June 5. The Blast reported that Terrence, Mira and a company she owned are being looked into and that the couple became aware of the investigation a few weeks ago. The case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, The Blast revealed, adding that investigators have already had initial discussions with the actor. Presidential spat Stop us if you've heard this one before: President Donald Trump got into a spat with a celebrity. On June 2, Bette Midler, an outspoken critic of POTUS, posted a photo of a young Trump with a quote attributed to him. The problem is that he never said it and that the attribution was debunked in 2015. After realizing the quote was fake, Bette took it down and apologized. Trump, however, found out about it during his three-day trip to the United Kingdom , tweeting, "Washed up psycho @BetteMidler was forced to apologize for a statement she attributed to me that turned out to be totally fabricated by her in order to make 'your great president' look really bad. She got caught, just like the Fake News Media gets caught. A sick scammer!" Bette responded on June 5, "I want to thank everyone who came to my defense last night during my personal Battle of the Bulge with he who must not be named. Your wit and good nature really lifted my spirits; as a newly washed up psycho, I am very grateful for your thoughts and prayers." Behind-the-scenes drama Ellen Pompeo nearly quit "Grey's Anatomy" years ago due to what she called a "really toxic work environment." The reveal came while she chatted with Taraji P. Henson during Variety's Actors on Actors series. "There were many moments. It's funny: I never wanted off the bus in the year that I could get off. The first 10 years we had serious culture issues, very bad behavior, really toxic work environment," Ellen, who's been part of the show since the first day, said. "But once I started having kids, it became no longer about me. I need to provide for my family." She added that there was "so much turmoil for 10 years." Postponing tour dates Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson is postponing all his June tour dates because he feels "mentally insecure." The music legend's "Pet Sounds and Greatest Hits Live" tour was set to begin on June 7 in Massachusetts. "As you may know in the last year or so I've had 3 surgeries on my back. The surgeries were successful and i'm physically stronger than i've been in a long time," he wrote on his website. "However, after my last surgery i started feeling strange and it's been pretty scary for awhile. I was not feeling like myself. Mentally insecure is how I'd describe it. We're not sure what is causing it but i do know that it's not good for me to be on the road right now." He said he plans to make up the missed dates. "I've been struggling with stuff in my head and saying things I don't mean and I don't know why. Its something i've never dealt with before and we cant quite figure it out just yet," he added. "I'm going to rest, recover and work with my doctors on this."


Although it seems counterintuitive, dishwashers can get pretty darn dirty-even with all the hot water and detergent constantly running through it. Whether it's the chemicals in dishwashing soap or grease and grime buildup, your once-pristine dishwasher may be brimming with scummy residue, germs, and odors. While we know we need to properly care for our coffee machines , clean oven glass , and sanitize our countertops , we rarely think to do the same for our cleaning devices. Luckily, cleaning your dishwasher is quick and easy with items you already have in the pantry: vinegar and baking soda. And when you've finished this super-simple chore, you can still reward yourself by kicking back and listening to some classic country tunes while you read a book. Clean Your Dishwasher with Vinegar $12.89 Shop Now We've sung the praises of apple cider vinegar , but for this particular duty, you're going to need white vinegar . Every few weeks, fill a dishwasher-safe cup or bowl with white vinegar and place it on the upper rack of your machine. Run the otherwise-empty dishwasher on the hottest setting-this will allow the vinegar to absorb odors and erode grimy buildup on the walls of the machine. Vinegar is astringently acidic, which makes it a great agent for breaking down scum on most appliances (you can use it in your washing machine, too). Keep a spray bottle with vinegar on hand and spritz the inside of your machine frequently in between washes for prolonged sparkle. Clean Your Dishwasher with Baking Soda Maybe you already use baking soda to remove pesticides from fruit . It's a safe and mild alkali substance that goes a long way in removing persistent residue left by food waste. Sprinkle 1 cup of baking soda along the bottom of your dishwasher and rinse on a hot-water cycle. Repeat this process when you have especially stubborn stains or smells. For extra cleaning punch, create "baking soda bombs" by mixing 2 cups of baking soda with 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide in a bowl until it's a paste-like consistency. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper and allow to dry for a few hours. Toss them on the bottom of your dishwasher and run a hot-water cycle in an empty machine. For a fresher scent, add a few drops of an essential oil to the mix. Bonus Dishwasher-Cleaning Tips We know: Prewashing dishes even a little bit feels like it defeats the purpose of having a dishwasher, but stay with us. Scraping all the food off a plate and giving it a quick rinse means fewer food particles potentially clogging the dishwasher drain. And speaking of the drain: Check it frequently to make sure there's not a bunch of gross stuff in there just waiting to stink up the place. Make sure the garbage disposal is clean prior to running the dishwasher. The two are often connected and can be cross contaminated, so if the garbage disposal is full of yucky stuff, your filled-to-the-brim dishwasher could be, too. Let's avoid that!

A teenager charged in the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy at an East Chicago park a year ago is still mulling a possible plea deal, his attorney said. In April, attorneys said they were considering a plea deal for Sherquell Magee, 18, of East Chicago. Magee was charged in Lake Superior Court with murder, attempted murder and attempted battery by means of a deadly weapon in the death of David Anderson. Prosecutors also added a use of a firearm enhancement to the case. Anderson was shot May 5, 2018, at Nunez Park in the 3700 block of Elm Street after a fight broke out between two groups of juveniles, according to court records. Anderson had been at the park that day playing basketball, his family said. He was standing in a gazebo when he was struck in the head by a bullet from the nearby fight, court records show. Anderson died May 6, 2018, at Comer Children's Hospital in Chicago. Prosecutors charged Magee, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, as an adult. Magee appeared Tuesday morning in Lake Superior Court for a hearing to see if he decided to take a plea deal offered by prosecutors. "I have to help my client make some tough decisions," John Cantrell, Magee's attorney, said. Cantrell asked for a couple of weeks to continue to go over the deal with his client. Magee is scheduled to appear in court again June 11. After Anderson died, roughly 100 people gathered at a vigil in East Chicago chanting, "Long live, David!" Anderson was on the honor roll at George Washington Elementary School, and he loved playing basketball and eating noodles, his mother, LaTanya Anderson, said. In November, Judge Samuel Cappas denied a request from the defense to release Magee on bail. His decision came after a hearing where prosecutors played video of the fight that led to the shooting. Cantrell said that Magee's actions "were arguably infinitely more reckless than intentional" and claimed Magee acted in self-defense. Deputy prosecuting attorney Chris Bruno argued that Magee "acted in a totally unreasonable manner" when he escalated "what was a juvenile fist fight into a homicide" and killed "an innocent bystander." Magee wrote a letter to Cappas in January asking him to reconsider bail in his case. "I ask god everyday for forgivness (sic) because I am still young," Magee said. "Everybody do make mistakes and accidents do happen, but that's all apart of life. Your honor I'm not a bad kid, I'm just a child who grew up without a father, so it was kind of hard growing up." "I never planned on seeing myself in jail. I wanted more for my life and being a criminal in the eyes of the community was not apart of my plan," he said. LaTanya Anderson said she saw no remorse in Magee's letter. "He never once mentioned he was sorry for killing my baby," LaTanya Anderson said. rejacobs@post-trib.com Twitter @ruthyjacobs


BALTIMORE (AP) It all seemed rather surreal, watching Asher Wojciechowski head into the seventh inning working on a no-hitter. After all, the 30-year-old journeyman hadn't won a major league game since 2017, came in with a 6.49 career ERA and was facing the highest-scoring team in the majors. Alas, Wojciechowski lost his bid to make history when Rafael Devers opened the seventh with a double off the right-field wall. But the right-hander was more than delighted to finish with a shared one-hitter while helping the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 5-0 Sunday. After striking out 10 over 7 1/3 innings while completely dominating the defending World Series champions, Wojciechowski wore a huge smile. ''A day like that, when you're throwing the pitches and they're doing pretty much exactly what you want them to do, that's what you dream for as a pitcher,'' he said. It was, without question, the finest performance of his life. ''Just a great day, a great team win,'' Wojciechowski said. ''Just a lot of fun today.'' After pitching previously for eight different organizations and spending all of last season in the minor leagues, Wojciechowski (1-3) earned his first victory since Aug. 8, 2017, when he beat San Diego as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. Although he had never worked more than six innings in his previous 14 starts, Wojciechowski was operating without a pitch limit while the no-no was intact. ''It was going to be his moment for as long as he could go,'' manager Brandon Hyde said. Prior to the seventh, the only baserunner against Wojciechowski was Brock Holt, who was hit by a pitch in the third and drew a walk in the sixth. Wojciechowski got three straight outs after Devers' hit, then was sent out for the eighth inning. He retired the first batter, issued a walk and was pulled after his 105th pitch . Many in the crowd of 18,173 - even many of the Boston fans - vigorously applauded his performance as he walked toward the dugout. ''Best outing I've ever had in the big leagues,'' Wojciechowski said. ''It's something to enjoy, also to look back, build upon and look at as a springboard.'' Paul Fry got the final two outs in the eighth and Mychal Givens worked the ninth to complete the one-hitter and end Boston's run of 81 games without being blanked. It was also the first time in 11 games the Red Sox failed to hit a home run. The last-place Orioles took two of three from the Red Sox, who were 8-0-2 in series against Baltimore since September 2017. Boston lost only one of its previous 11 series at Camden Yards, dating back to May 2016. Facing his former team just eight days after being traded to Boston, Andrew Cashner (9-5) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings to fall to 0-2 with the Red Sox. Trey Mancini hit a solo shot in the first inning and a two-run drive in the third. ''I thought I had really good stuff. I made two mistakes,'' Cashner said. ''Mancini is a pretty big hitter. He put good swings on those balls.'' Jonathan Villar added a solo shot off Heath Hembree in the eighth. Now 5-5 since the All-Star break, the defending World Series champions can only hope to generate momentum over the next couple of weeks. Boston's next 14 games are against the two teams ahead of them in the AL East, the Yankees and Tampa Bay. ''We have a tough schedule coming up,'' manager Alex Cora said. ''It's a matter of being ready for it.'' FAREWELL TO KEON The Orioles designated OF Keon Broxton for assignment after he batted .204 in 37 games since being obtained in a May 22 trade with the Mets. In need of a reliever to fill out a depleted bullpen, Baltimore called up Brandon Kline and removed Broxton from the 25-man roster. ''I hate to see Keon go,'' Hyde said. ''He's such a weapon defensively and on the bases. I'm sure he'll get picked up by somebody.'' TRAINER'S ROOM Red Sox: INF Michael Chavis was not in the starting lineup after leaving with back spasms on Saturday night. ''Doing all right,'' Chavis said before the game. Orioles: RHP Dylan Bundy (knee) will come off the IL on Tuesday to face Arizona on Tuesday night. He missed one start. ... C Pedro Severino played for the first time in a week after battling an illness. UP NEXT Red Sox: The Red Sox get to cool off under a dome on Monday night when LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (11-4, 4.34 ERA) helps open a three-game series against Rays. Orioles: A reunion with longtime OF Adam Jones is on tap when Baltimore and RHP Aaron Brooks (2-3, 4.69) take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. --- More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports
