This provision ignores scientific consensus that conditions like depression don't "cause" someone to be trans.These screenings don't provide access to gender-affirming care for trans youth; rather, they erect a formidable barrier to even obtaining mental health care.StockRocket / Getty Images In a concerning turn of events, Ohio has become the newest addition to the growing list of states progressing gender affirming care bans for transgender youth out of legislative committees.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson are racing to establish a presence in space.But what rights and obligations come with that?It's not clear what the rules are, even as the $460 billion space industry is growing quickly.Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company founded by Mr. Branson, announced on Thursday that it would launch its first commercial spaceflight this month, joining Mr. Bezos' Blue Origin, and Mr. Musk's SpaceX in sending ticketed passengers to space.

In what was possibly their easiest win all season, the Braves smashed three two-run homers off Dinelson Lamet, while Jared Shuster and the bullpen stifled Colorado's league-worst offense en route to an 8-1 rout.This game was really a tale of two things in this headline, which explain both the Braves' eight runs and the Rockies' sole tally on the night.

After dropping their last three series and losing six of their last eight games, the Dodgers got a day off and returned home.Rested up, they were at least able to take the first game of this series from the White Sox, jumping out to an early lead and cruising comfortable from there in a 5-1 victory.

Having Tommy Kahnle is good for a few reasons.First, purely, it's good to have good pitchers, and with an injured list that already includes so many names, the Yankees will need Kahnle to play a key role.We already touched on that along with his return a few weeks ago, and time since, there hasn't been much reason to believe that's any less true.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have a lot of decisions to make this off-season, but debatably the biggest decision is regarding the future of their #1 centre, Auston Matthews.At Matthews end of season interview, he did state that he wants to stay with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but people have said the same and still ended up playing on a different team before.

One of the smartest approaches to feeding a group of opinionated people with different preferences say, your family is to make something that's easy to construct or deconstruct as you like.(Tacos are the reigning champions in this arena.)Last week, I got an email from a reader saying that she makes Nicoise salad all summer for her family, which is a great pick-and-choose meal; let everyone take what they want from the platter of canned tuna, green beans, boiled eggs, tomatoes, olives and so on.

Around the world, most of the 1.4 billion tons of food thrown away each year goes to landfills.As it rots, it pollutes water and soil and releases huge amounts of methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases.But not in South Korea, which banned food scraps from its landfills almost 20 years ago.

Hello! We're back with another edition of On Tech: A.I., a pop-up newsletter that teaches you about artificial intelligence, how it works and how to use it.Last week, I walked you through how to use A.I. to prepare for the dreaded office meeting.Now let's take the money you've earned from all that hard work and move on to something more fun: shopping.

If you are one of the tens of millions of people who've been affected by smoke from the millions of acres of Canadian forest that are currently aflame, then you know what it's like to live under a murky brown sky, with the sun a sullen reddish orb glaring menacingly down at you.There's very little good news to squeeze from this story.

After finding postseason success once again this year, the Lakers now head into an offseason with a lot of moving pieces.While LeBron James and Anthony Davis, among a handful of others, are set to be Lakers next season - assuming the former isn't actually retiring - there are all sorts of other players who will have choices to be made on them.

The great American art form isn't music or film or television, says a podcast host in Based on a True Story, a new dark comedy on Peacock.The great American art form is murder.We watch it, we celebrate it, we obsess over it.It is hard to argue with that one.Forget the surfeit of murder podcasts that Based on a True Story satirizes, however fitfully.

The business advantages of scale and scope are widely recognized, but large, global enterprises often fail to fully realize them when it comes to innovation.Innovations that are developed in one geographic region or business unit - new products to delight customers, new HR policies to attract and retain talent, new production processes that drive efficiency gains - too often stay within them instead of being disseminated across the enterprise.

As the New England Patriots break for summer, all eyes are now focused on free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.The former All-Pro concluded his two day visit in Foxboro on Thursday and left without a contract, meaning the drama looks ready to drag out into July.So, let's break that, and the Patriots' spring practices, down in this week's #PostPulpit mailbag.

After a disappointing end to their season, the Boston Celtics have some big decisions to make this summer.Well, sort of.Essentially they have one decision to make, it's just a big one.Do they continue forward with the same nucleus, or reshape the roster?Well, it sounds like the Cs have at least some interest in shaking things up.

After a disappointing finish to the season, the Boston Celtics are looking to retool this offseason.While one potential way to shake up the roster would be to trade All-NBA Second Team member Jaylen Brown, a much easier trade to make would be trading away Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon.Brogdon was acquired last offseason and is set to make $22.5 million this coming season.

When you go to your friend's house, do you steal shot glasses?How about wall art or an expensive bottle of booze?Hopefully not, but for whatever reason, people feel comfortable taking these sorts of items from D.C. dives to high-end restaurants.The seemingly benign (and frequently alcohol-induced) practice can be pretty serious to many restaurants in the long run - setting them back tens of thousands of dollars or more.

Experts are slamming regulators for refusing to mandate simple technology that could save lives in large truck crashes, based on a faulty cost-benefit analysis that excludes pedestrian and cyclist deaths completely while underestimating - by a factor of 10 - the number of car occupants killed after getting trapped under big rigs.

Let the casino games begin, Chicago.The Illinois Gaming Board unanimously approved a "determination of preliminary suitability" Thursday for Bally's Chicago, setting the table to launch the city's first casino this summer.The precursor to final licensing will allow Bally's to open its temporary casino at Medinah Temple, pending a successful practice gaming session.

NASCAR's first-ever street race will come to Chicago during the first days of July, bringing with it questions and apprehension from community members and city leaders about a deal made by former Mayor Lori Lightfoot.Concerns about traffic and public safety - and skepticism of the street race's economic benefit to the city - were among the issues aldermen raised Wednesday at the City Council's Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee, where they questioned Chicago street race President Julie Giese, staff from the emergency management office and other city leaders.

Democrats have for years bemoaned partisan redistricting plans that helped Republicans win far more congressional seats than expected.But that advantage has disappeared.In the first elections held with 2020 census data, Democrats battled back with their own gerrymandering that shaped districts to their advantage and essentially evened the outcome.

The process produces a protein-shake like texture that can be dried and used similarly to seitan, a popular protein substitute for vegans.Air Company The ingredients for space yeast are fairly simple."Astronaut breath, water, yeast starter, electricity, a rolling pin and we can make it happen," Stafford Sheehan, a finalist in the NASA-sponsored Deep Space Food Challenge, told NPR.

The starter can't hold a four-run lead in the fourth inning.Two relievers can't maintain a tie in the sixth inning, and a third reliever is barred from the mound because of sticky hands in the seventh inning.The center fielder can't catch a ball lined essentially in front of his glove.The five-hole hitter strikes out with two on and two out in the sixth, and three on and two out in the eighth, the latter directly after the cleanup hitter strikes out with three on and one out in the eighth.

​​In the eighth inning of a close game between his Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels in late May, Liam Hendriks exited the bullpen and jogged toward the mound, the ballpark lights strobing around him.In some ways, this was a normal day at work: for the last few years, the 34-year-old Hendriks has been one of the best closers in baseball, automatic at the end of White Sox games.

Aileen M. Cannon, the Federal District Court judge assigned to preside over former President Donald J. Trump's classified documents case, has scant experience running criminal trials, calling into question her readiness to handle what is likely to be an extraordinarily complex and high-profile courtroom clash.

In Ron DeSantis' astonishingly pointless vendetta against Walt Disney World, it seems the Florida governor's favorite insult to use against the corporation is "wokeness."Ever since former CEO Bob Chapek criticized the governor's homophobic and transphobic Parental Rights in Education Act - which forbids discussion of gender and sexual identity in public schools - DeSantis and his supporters have repeatedly accused the entertainment conglomerate of "echoing Democrat propaganda," and engaged in a vicious legal battle over Disney World's self-governing tax status that's proved a huge headache for the state.

Over four decades after his death, John Lennon will once again sing with The Beatles.Well, sort of.Paul McCartney has revealed that an unreleased Lennon recording called "Now and Then" will be released sometime in 2023 as a kind of digital Beatles reunion song.And, although a demo of this song has existed since 1980, machine learning technology will be used to create a new version of the track as a "new" Beatles song.

Quality relievers come from everywhere.Consider the two who reached 400 career saves last month.Craig Kimbrel was an early-round draft pick from Alabama, a dominant closer from his first summer in the pros.Kenley Jansen, from Curacao, spent years as a minor league catcher before learning to pitch.Somewhere between those former Los Angeles Dodgers firemen is the team's current relief ace: Evan Phillips.

Shaw is pulling out all the stops in the kitchen before his retirement.Brian Shaw has just one strongman competition left in his career - the eponymous 2023 Shaw Classic (SC) on August 19-20, 2023, in Loveland, CO.The sport of strongman will soon officially soldier on without one of the greatest strongmen of all time, at least with him as an active competing participant.

Artificial intelligence is based around prediction.But decision making requires both prediction and judgment.That leaves a role for humans, in providing the judgment about which types of outcomes are better and worse.But large language models represent a key advance: OpenAI has found a way to teach its AI human judgment by using a simple form of human feedback, through chat.

The two indictments filed so far against former President Donald J. Trump one brought by the Manhattan district attorney, the other by a Justice Department special counsel charge him with very different crimes but have something in common: Both were based, at least in part, on the words of his own lawyers.

After months of anticipation, Ukraine's forces newly trained on complex warfare tactics and armed with billions of dollars in sophisticated Western weaponry launched operations on multiple fronts in the past week in an effort to dislodge entrenched Russian military units, a counteroffensive that many officials in the United States and Europe say could be a turning point in the 15-month war.

On a recent morning about an hour outside Phoenix, the pounding of tribal drums reverberated across the desert from a stand of oaks in the Tonto National Forest, where nearly 20 men had packed into a squat green sweat lodge to pray.Members of several Native American tribes, the men had come to take part in the grueling spiritual ceremony under the guidance of Wendsler Nosie Sr., a 64-year-old Apache elder who has emerged in recent years as an influential religious and environmental activist - not only in this small pocket of Arizona, but nationally.

Miguel Vargas has taken on an everyday role with the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, leading to new opportunities both on and off the field.The 23-year-old partnered with New Era Cap, which recently celebrated the first-ever 59FIFTY Day.The company, which originated in 1920, is the exclusive on-field cap of MLB.

A bullpen game for the Los Angeles Dodgers initially yielded manageable results but their offense failed to up its end of the bargain in a 7-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.The series loss at Citizens Bank Park gave the Dodgers a disappointing 2-4 record on their road trip.Sunday's defeat was the Dodgers' only loss on the road trip that was not a walk-off.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers were dealing with multiple injuries in their starting rotation, they inserted Gavin Stone for his MLB debut.Stone's spot start also allowed the Dodgers to line up their top pitchers to face the San Diego Padres in the ensuing series.Stone returned from Triple-A Oklahoma City nearly three weeks later to face the Atlanta Braves and made another start against the Tampa Bay Rays as he was expected to fill in for the injured Dustin May.

It has now been a few weeks since we heard that Juventus and current Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli came to terms on a deal to bring him to Turin.The road block, however, is still very much there in the form of Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis, who has no intention of letting one of the best directors Serie A has to offer go to a direct rival.

Lionel Messi is making the move to MLS, following a long line of stars who found success in Europe but came stateside to add a new chapter towards the end of their careers.The Argentine legend has announced that he'll be joining Inter Miami and diving headfirst into the top flight of North American soccer.

Sid Lowe, Spain writerJun 13, 2023, 05:00 AM ET


Lionel Messi doesn't forget.By the sound of it, he hasn't entirely forgiven, either.On the evening of Aug. 4, 2021, he and his family flew from Ibiza to Barcelona, touching down at El Prat around 8 p.m. local time.Holiday over, the way he recalls it, his kids were excited about another year at school in Castelldefels and he was looking forward to another season at Camp Nou.

Simone Inzaghi did not want to go into detail.All Inter Milan's coach was prepared to say, on the eve of the Champions League final, was that his team had a special idea on how to deal with Erling Haaland.So far this season, Haaland has scored 52 goals in 52 games for Manchester City.He has scored against every opponent he has faced at least twice.

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA community, and today we look at those represented by the "I" which stands for "intersex."In a broadcast exclusive, we are joined by the filmmaker and three stars of a new documentary, Every Body, which follows their work as intersex activists who share childhoods marked by shame, secrecy and nonconsensual surgeries.

This article was originally published on Waging Nonviolence.Schadenfreude is a German word that describes the absolute joy we feel in the misfortune of our enemies.Because we now experience news primarily through social media, which invites us to comment on breaking stories, we are even more likely to celebrate when some particularly unsavory character gets their comeuppance.

The walls at Beth's Cafe in Seattle drip with crude crayon drawings of Seahawks logos and random cartoon characters, and the oily odor of 12-egg omelets crammed with bacon lingers in the air.There's a late-night frenzy radiating from every booth, as partygoers refuel between shindigs or, inevitably, crash out before making their way home.

As strange as this sounds, Chase Young could be potentially on his way out of the nation's capital.The former No. 2 overall pick of the now Washington Commanders flourished in his rookie year out of Ohio State.Labeled as essentially the next Bosa Brother coming out of Columbus, Young was every bit the emerging pass-rushing star this league can never seem to get enough of.

In the south, Ukrainian soldiers are fighting on an unforgiving landscape, table-flat farmland with little cover for troops trying to advance.Sixty miles away, they are attacking across the plains in a coal mining region dotted with slag heaps, pushing toward a strategic railway junction.Farther east, they are targeting Russian positions on the hills outside Bakhmut, a city in ruins that fell to Russian forces last month after the longest and bloodiest battle of the war.

Know which to perform or when to do both.The lat pulldown and the pull-up are staples across many training programs - sometimes even coexisting within the same workout.Both exercises train the "vertical pulling" movement pattern and can be highly effective for targeting your back muscles, which is why some lifters regard them as nearly interchangeable.

If you drink wine, you probably know there is more in the bottle than fermented grapes.Yet, you likely won't find those added ingredients listed on the label, nor the wine's nutritional information.That's because historically, wine bottles-unlike food products-have not been required to list additional ingredients other than allergens on labels in both the United States and the European Union (E.U.).
