It was one of the boldest strikes yet against the nation’s most popular drug-prevention program. Over the last decade, studies have repeatedly shown that the simplistic message of the $226 million program has little effect on keeping kids from abusing drugs–yet it continues to be used by 80 percent of schools. Now DARE is finally admitting it needs an overhaul. Last week officials announced they will be revamping the program, with the help of $13....
Daryl Gates, the tough-talking L.A. police chief who had already agreed to step down after the furor over the Rodney King videotape, was under fire again last week for the LAPD’s slow response to the rioting. In a soon-to-be published book, Gates admits the cops who beat King went too far. But he also blasts the public and politicians for not giving police more support. An excerpt: The American public needs to grow up....
Jessica Johanna Oseguera González, known as “La Negra,” is the 34-year-old daughter of the Mexican drug lord “El Mencho” of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG). Oseguera González was convicted on the basis that she violated the Kingpin Act by conducting financial business with six Mexican businesses that had been sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (OFAC). “This sentence shows that violating the Treasury Department’s sanctions of businesses and persons tied to foreign drug cartels will not go unpunished,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicholas L....
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Peggy Wallace Kennedy said. “I saw daddy a lot in 2016.” She suggested that Trump, a president who has consistently created controversy — both on and off the campaign trail, as well as before he was elected president — with racially-charged remarks, is perhaps not only racist, but that he is more so than Wallace, a politician who once promised “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever....
The surprising move came less than a week after Dombrowski dealt away David Price and Yoenis Cespedes before the MLB trade deadline as Detroit finds itself outside the playoff picture at this point in the season for the first time in years. MORE: Why is your MLB fan base freaking out this week? “I’ve decided to release Dave from his contract in order to afford him the time to pursue other career opportunities," team owner Mike Illitch said in a news release announcing the move....
So what is the point? Making music from buildings isn’t that new an idea. In 2004 the German industrial group Einstürzende Neubauten played a concert in—and on—the skeleton of the Parliament building of the former German Democratic Republic. It was a defiant symbol of victory over the forces of oppression. Still, it was just a performance by a band for an audience. In Byrne’s interactive work, the visitor is as integral to the piece as the building itself....
Put simply, Moyes is ripping the champions up and starting again.

That’s because Busch has accomplished just about everything else in big-time stock car racing. In 2015, he won his first championship in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, despite missing the first 11 races because of broken bones suffered in a brutal crash in Turn 1 during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race that preceded the Daytona 500. A virtual lock to make the NASCAR Hall of Fame whenever he’s first eligible, Busch has 51 Cup victories, 11th-most all time....

United might have already claimed the EFL Cup and Community Shield as well as finding their way to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, but their far-from-sufficient league form has had many anticipating Jose Mourinho’s second summer in charge of the club and what it might bring in terms of a shake-up in the first-team squad.

The All-Star Game should not determine home-field advantage in the World Series. MORE: World Series TV schedule | SN expert picks I’m looking at you, MLB. The silliness must end. This weird and unnecessary marriage of the Midsummer Classic and the Fall Classic has run its course. It’s time to call it off. The Cubs won 103 games in 2016 and were by far the best team in baseball. The best team should get the reward of home-field advantage in the biggest series of the year....
You and I aren’t that dissimilar. We’re both white, born in the 1980s, went to very privileged high schools in places that otherwise have a lot of diversity — me in Brooklyn at the same school as Lena Dunham and Zac Posen, you in Baltimore at the same school as Mark Teixeira and Gavin Floyd. We’re both catchers who won’t be in the major leagues next year because we can’t hit....
Originally, Death Stranding debuted as a PlayStation exclusive, complete with a themed PlayStation 4 console and controller to go with it. It also received numerous collector’s editions, from a massive set including a “BB” tank to unique SteelBook cases when preordered at certain retailers.

While there, it can be played in its entirety for free, meaning it’ll open up to a brand new subset of players interested in checking it out, as there’s no additional fee to jump aboard....
