How does it feel to be wrapping up the saga of the Fox family for the final season of Better Things? I wasn’t really thinking about it. Everybody wants me to be sad, but I don’t feel sad, I feel really grateful that I was able to tell these stories and make my show. It makes me feel very happy that it can live on in people’s hearts and minds and they can go back to it....
While most of the rallies have remained peaceful, law enforcement has been targeted in several incidents after being forced to intervene as many breached social distancing guidelines. In one instance late Monday in Lichtenstein, in the eastern state of Saxony, several protesters attacked police and sprayed them with chemical irritants after the officers tried to stop about 60 rowdy demonstrators during a march to check their identities. “One person attempted to seize an officer’s service weapon and another police officer suffered a bite wound from a participant of the gathering,” Saxony police said in a statement....
Total domination. The Astros were 6-1, the A’s were 1-7. That was April 8. The standings entering play on April 22 looked a bit different. RIVERA: Why the Yankees’ slow start should be concerning The A’s are in first place in the AL West with a record of 12-7. Yep, if you’re counting, that’s 11 consecutive victories. The Astros are in last place in the division, with a 7-10 record....
The rookie cornerback will take advantage of the NFL’s new number rules — which allow him to wear any number 1-49 — choosing to become one of the first modern NFL defenders to wear a single-digit jersey. As he announced on Twitter, Horn will wear the No. 8 jersey during his rookie season. It appears that decision will not only be a nod to his draft selection, but also pay tribute to the late, great Kobe Bryant....
“It is a little disrespectful, I guess,” remarked Panthers coach Ron Rivera earlier in the week. “But apparently they know something we don’t. We are just going to prepare and get ourselves ready for Thursday. We’ll show up.” The point spread has bounced around quite a bit since opening numbers were posted. Line: Pick ’em, Total: 46 Line movement: Opening lines ranged between Dallas -1.5 and -2.5, numbers that prompted action on Carolina....

But the rest of the Panthers secondary had question marks, especially after Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 366 yards and three touchdowns while nearly leading Seattle back from a 31-0 halftime deficit in the NFC divisional playoff round. PHOTOS: Scenes from the Carolina crush | MORE: Cam’s Super powers The Panthers held on for a 31-24 victory last week, but with the Cardinals and their top-ranked offense coming to town for Sunday’s NFC championship, some doubted whether Carolina’s depleted secondary could match up with the Cardinals receivers....
After a strong 6-2 start, the Panthers sputtered to a 7-9 finish as they missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. It’s also worth noting the Panthers pulled Cam Newton and sat him the final two games, which is sure to make for an interesting storyline on the show. There’s also veteran safety Eric Reid, a frequent target for random drug tests in the wake of his signing with the Panthers, which he believes is linked to his support of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and opposition of President Donald Trump after he kneeled during the anthem protests....

The 11-day stretch of non-stop NBA action provided fans with a great look at some of the top players in this year’s draft class, as well as some second-year players who flashed improvement in a larger role. Rookie stars like Paolo Banchero and Keegan Murray shined bright, while injuries derailed the Summer League of others like Jaden Ivey, Shaedon Sharpe and Dyson Daniels. Josh Giddey headlined the group of second-year players who stood out, as the Australian star looked far too talented to even share a floor with some of his Summer League opponents....
Cannavaro will farewell Sassuolo when the Serie A side face Roma on Saturday before joining the seven-time reigning Chinese Super League champions.

In a bombshell interview published last week, the UTLA’s top boss brushed aside widespread concerns about the closures’ impact on students. “There is no such thing as learning loss,” she said. “It’s OK that our babies may not have learned all their times tables…. They know the difference between a riot and a protest. They know the words insurrection and coup.” Los Angeles is just one of many places where parents’ advocacy for reopening in-person learning was thwarted for far too long by special interests....
According to the child’s mother, Zana Shelton, her son suffers from autism and was unable to keep his mask on before a four-hour flight from Las Vegas to Chicago. “They just put him on the autism spectrum. He has sensory delay and speech delay,” Shelton told Fox 32 News of her son, Cebastian Lewis. According to Shelton, prior to taking off for their flight to Chicago, she was told by a flight attendant that if her son doesn’t wear a mask he is not permitted to board the flight....

In April 2019, Noah was diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. His parents took him to his first two chemotherapy appointments at the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, but missed the third. Instead, they told doctors they were going to get a second opinion. McAdams and Bland-Ball planned to take their son to a doctor in Ohio to provide other treatments, including CBD oil and alkaline water....
They overlook simple steps to protect it, such as wearing blue-light blocking glasses and making their children play outdoors more. Spending more hours on smartphones, tablets and other digital devices — and less time outdoors — is harmful, researchers say. The results are part of the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital national poll on children’s health at the University of Michigan Health. Sarah Clark, a research scientist at the University of Michigan said: “Many parents may not be aware of both the short and long-term health issues linked to excessive screen time, including its effect on children’s eyes....

“I believe AWS’s decision to terminate service to Parler was based, not on expressed concerns about Parler’s compliance with the AWS Agreement, but in part on a desire to deny President Trump a platform on any large social-media service,” Matze said in the filing. The Parle CEO also accused an AWS representative who was assigned to the platform as being a “Joe Biden supporter” and aware of Trump’s reported plan to join the social media platform....
