The Newberg Public Schools Board backed plans, by a vote of four to three, prohibiting signs, clothing and other items deemed to be broadly “political.” During a four-hour virtual meeting, school board director and vice chair Brian Shannon spoke out against what he viewed as “divisive symbols” and also called for a ban on teachers wearing any clothing linked to the BLM or Pride movements. “The main goal of this is to get political symbols and divisive symbols out of our schools so we can focus on the already difficult task of educating our students in the core subjects,” he said....

“I always just thought of it as a volunteer job that retired people do,” Jasmine Clay, 29, told Newsweek of her decision to become a poll worker in Northern Virginia this fall. “It never clicked that someone my age could do that.” Poll workers–who verify voter identities, help voters sign in, provide ballots and assist with any other voter needs—are almost always paid temporary workers, not full-time employees of local elections offices....

Unlike the square-shaped brackets that are cemented to the face of a tooth, orthodontic bands are custom-fit so that they completely encircle the tooth. The bands are traditionally made of stainless steel. Once fitted, the bands are secured into place with a durable, non-toxic cement. An orthodontic band may have a hook onto which removable elastics or Forsus springs (used to correct an overbite) can be attached. Others will have a tunnel-like sleeve through which the archwire can be strung....

It could happen, if U.S. forces manage to locate him and bring him back alive for criminal prosecution. But would anyone represent bin Laden? “It might be a career-breaker,” says attorney Jack Litman. “A lawyer who took that case–even the mob would shun him,” says Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University. Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard law professor who’s made a career of taking on unpopular clients like O....

"I don't know how long I was there for." Pistorius has said he shot Steenkamp after mistaking her for an intruder in his bathroom.

"Make way," hefty bodyguards bark at the end of the day as they usher 27-year-old Pistorius, who is free on bail, past jostling journalists and onlookers to a vehicle with tinted windows outside the courthouse in Pretoria, South Africa's capital.

Giovani dos Santos was at the controls of the Mexico attack and excelled. Pulido heads home Mexico winner “With Giovani in the first half and the last 25 minutes with Luis Montes, both of them left-footed, what we tried to do is play them on the right side,” Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said after the match. “Every time they controlled the ball with the inside of their foot, it takes them to the inside position, and that allowed us to play the wingbacks in behind them and have more width....

Nevertheless, after Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers in the team’s home-opener, disappointment was evident throughout the dressing room. “I hate to lose.

Smith was a bit more analytical, but the message was still the same....

DEPRESSION, DYSLEXIA, violence, obesity, homosexuality: these are among the human attributes for which a “gene” has been “found” in the last two years alone. Notice two things about the list: first, they are mostly (not all) unhappy afflictions; and second, they are all without exception minority characteristics (meaning relatively few people have them). Human genetics need not be this way. The really interesting genes are the majority genes, that ones we all share, the ones that make us human....

Our marriage barely survived the six months. I was earning all the money, so I figured I was the boss. My paycheck covered the mortgage, bought the food, provided some entertainment and paid every other bill with our name on it, so I thought that I was entitled to a little control over the household–and my husband. Thinking I could speed his job search along, I rewrote his resume and pushed him to go on job interviews....

Mourinho’s temper boils over at Old Trafford Mourinho rightly came under pressure to include the teen prodigy after leaving him out of Manchester United’s first two league games entirely. It wasn’t until that late winner against Hull City that the Portuguese seemed truly convinced by his unique match-winning qualities. Even so, he won’t permit Rashford to play in his favored striking position, instead opting to field him either side of Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the flanks....
