WaPo has a 28-paragraph article on Trump's scramble to find lawyers to appear at his arraignment today that doesn't mention several things that are undoubtedly making the search harder.First, there are all the details in the indictment that reveal how much information Trump withheld from his lawyers: not just the location of the files Evan Corcoran needed to search on June 3, 2022 (and Tim Parlatore tried to search in November and December, only to find none of the documents that remain unaccounted for), but also the sensitivity of the documents he had them claiming before Courts were merely personal records.

As insurers project how a pile of new laws will affect profits and losses, regulators in Tallahassee are falling behind in their efforts to review and approve rate hike requests.Though the shortcomings are not immediately affecting consumers, if not repaired, policyholders could find themselves paying more than they should for insurance coverage or, if they move or buy insurance from another company, difficult to be tracked down if regulators determine they are owed refunds.

Like any other season, summer can mean different things to different people.While images of beaches and pool parties immediately come to mind, some see the hottest season of the year as a time to enjoy the wide outdoors, take a well-deserved break from the stress of school and work, or even use the downtime to catch up with life goals and plan the months ahead.

Manchester City Women's manager Gareth Taylor signed a new contract on Thursday, keeping him in charge of the team for another year.But, after a difficult season, that saw the blues fail to land a major trophy and also miss out on Champions League qualification, if this the last opportunity for Taylor to finally make his mark?

As they introduced their sky blue shirts to Istanbul's blue mosque and posed beside a giant cup on Taksim Square, there was a question on the lips of many of the older fans in particular: could this really be the moment they officially vanquish the curse of City-itis?A win on Saturday evening against Internazionale of Italy in Istanbul's 75,000-capacity Ataturk Olympic Stadium will not only deliver Manchester City their first Champions League the club's second piece of European silverware in its 140 year history but complete what newspapers are duty bound to report as the historic treble: a slam-dunk haul of the Uefa Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League title.

Man United are edging towards completing a move to sign AS Monaco centre-back, Axel Disasi.Manchester United are looking to bring in a new centre-back this summer, with the Red Devils continuing to overhaul the playing squad under Erik ten Hag.Harry Maguire could well be on the way out, which could explain why the Dutchman has eyes on Kim Min-jae, and other defenders, as possible replacements.

In the early 1990s, when I was a Ph.D. student at the Free University of Berlin modeling the evolution of bee color perception, I asked a botany professor for some advice about flower pigments.I wanted to know the degrees of freedom that flowers have in producing colors to signal to bees.He replied, rather furiously, that he was not going to engage in a discussion with me, because I worked in a neurobiological laboratory where invasive procedures on live honeybees were performed.

Red Sox What's perplexing is that this seems to be by design, as if Chaim Bloom and the Red Sox' analytics staff determined that there would be marginal consequences to neglecting the defense.Question: In a hypothetical world in which the Red Sox lineup was actually constructed with a serious attempt at defensive cohesion, how many regulars would be best suited as a designated hitter?

I don't think any of us expected the San Francisco Giants to be in the position of having the best bullpen in Baseball at any point in the season, and yet here we are.Since May 15 (and I'll give my reason for that date in just a second), they've amassed 2.7 wins above replacement in value, according to FanGraphs, nearly twice as good as the next best arm barn: the Miami Marlins (1.5).

The San Francisco Giants A-ball affiliates were off on Monday, but their Arizona Complex League and Dominican Summer League teams were in action, as was the promotion train.So there's lots to talk about ... let's dive in!Link to the 2023 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions are the positions played in that game.

I tried very hard to figure out the one or two things you could point to that explains why the Colorado Rockies are so bad, but my finger(s) kept drifting towards the front office.By total fWAR, they're 25th in pitching (3.3) and last in Major League Baseball in hitting (0.7).How does that happen beyond personnel choices directed by the personnel choosers?

I don't know how many of you are actually following the party scandals that are currently surfacing, but it's hella intriguing and full of drama drama drama.So on one front, there is the Shemia Fagan Secretary of State Drama, where not only did she straight up paper her corrupt intents with a let's say legally questionable cannabis organization, but at the same time was actively using public and campaign dollars to pad her lifestyle but submitting false and fraudulent or at least error-riddled expense reports.

The Toronto Raptors still have not given off any indication of what direction they will go in during the 2023 NBA Draft.Masai Ujiri and the rest of the front office continue to be incredibly tight-lipped about what positions and players they may target with their lone selection.Conventional wisdom would suggest that Ujiri and the Raptors could try to fix their lack of terrific shooting by drafting a dynamic guard at No. 13 overall.

The Toronto Raptors have three impactful starters potentially hitting the free agent market this season in Fred VanVleet, Jakob Poeltl, and Gary Trent Jr.As it pertains to Poeltl, it looks like the Raptors will do whatever they need to in order to bring back the former Top 10 pick.The other two appear to be on much less firm ground for retention.

The Toronto Raptors remain the only team in the league without a head coach, as Masai Ujiri is coming up on almost two months without bringing in someone who could be a replacement for Nick Nurse.As such, the Raptors are at risk of seeing their current staff decimated by departures.With some reports claiming they will wait more than a week before their final chance at interviewing Sergio Scariolo, it's fair to say that Toronto is not bothered at all when it comes to finding a replacement.

I have this theory.If you self-identify as a dog person, you have stereotypically cat characteristics: self-sufficient, transactional, fickle, aloof.People who prefer cats, meanwhile, are warm, friendly and open with their love.My thinking is that we gravitate to those qualities that we feel we don't possess.
