Eddie Howe’s lack of fear has perhaps been the most refreshing characteristic of his approach to management and has, in a way, come to define Bournemouth’s identity.

Apatow has inked a new deal with Universal film and television studios.

In an open letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Galette says players are punished harshly if they have any involvement with police officers. The linebacker says the league should adopt the “innocent until proven guilty” legal principle. “Far too often, the NFL penalizes players — sometimes severely — for encounters with law enforcement before receiving due process; players are treated as ‘guilty until proven innocent,’ in the eyes of both the NFL and the public who sees only the punitive action,” Galette writes....

‘The Organization Man’ William H. Whyte’s newly re-released classic analysis of anonymous, overworked guys in suits and the big corporations that love them remains almost as trenchant now as it was when first published in 1956.

The ban was lifted on indoor services for California’s Tier 1 counties—those with widespread COVID-19 risks. Despite religious establishments being able to hold worship services during the pandemic, some restrictions are still in place, such as 25 percent capacity limits or bans on singing and chanting. In a July 2020 Statewide Public Health Officer Order, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) had said that places of worship, as well as gyms, protests, salons and more, would need to halt indoor operations if counties appeared on the CDPH’s County Monitoring List for three days in a row....

Former president Donald Trump remains the chief target of this attempt to distort the debate about election integrity into one about a treasonous attempted coup. But lately he’s been displaced in the Left’s crosshairs by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Virginia, a veteran conservative political activist better known by her nickname Ginni. The upshot of the media coverage is that Ginni Thomas’ texts to Trump administration officials, encouraging them to keep fighting to overturn the results of what she felt was a stolen election, should have led her husband to recuse himself from all election-related cases....

In a 5-0 ruling, justices in the Appellate Division of New York State’s Supreme Court’s Third Department, allowed a couple to retain joint custody of their biracial child but ordered the mother to remove the rock featuring the Confederate flag by June 1. “As such, while recognizing that the First Amendment protects the mother’s right to display the flag, if it is not removed by June 1, 2021, its continued presence shall constitute a change in circumstances and Family Court shall factor this into any future best interests analysis,” Justice Stanley Pritzker wrote in the ruling on May 6....
