A few years ago, the organizers of one of the largest U.S. exercise programs for people with Parkinson’s disease realized they had a problem: Most of the students were white. But people who run Parkinson’s exercise programs in a handful of U.S. cities describe great difficulty in recruiting Black people. Johnson said his Chicago-area initiative offered a free six-month exercise program for Parkinson’s patients and increased marketing in the Black community but got little traction. When a white person shows up at the doctor’s office with such symptoms, a doctor would likely recognize them as signs of Parkinson’s, said Bernard Coley, an advocate for people with Parkinson’s disease, especially those in underengaged communities. After his less-than-successful efforts to recruit Black Parkinson’s patients into his exercise program in Chicago, Johnson concluded that the fact that he’s not Black is an “important factor.”Leventhal, who runs the Parkinson’s exercise program in New York, has come to the same conclusion.

"We are bombarded with shopping opportunities," said Casey Lewis, a social media trend expert and founder of trend newsletter After School. Generation Z, especially, makes shopping decisions heavily driven by TikTok and Instagram, where influencer recommendations play a very significant role, another KPMG report showed. The rise of #underconsumptioncoreTikTok's latest financial trend, #underconsumptioncore, is about making the most of what you already have and rejecting the temptation to buy more (and more and more). This time around, #underconsumptioncore stems from a number of other factors, as well, including a desire to live more intentionally and sustainably. Casey Lewis social media trend expert

In a most epic final, certainly, among the deepest in Olympic history, Lyles won in a photo finish. His time of 9.784 seconds in the men’s 100-meter dash was his personal best and gave the United States its first gold in 20 years. Phase 1 of Lyles’ grand plan to win Olympic gold in the 100 and 200 is complete. He’s the best in the world at it and has been for this entire Olympic cycle. Lyles finished seventh in the 100-meter final at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials, failing to qualify for the Tokyo Games in the discipline.

Even some on the right said the “weird” attack had landed. “Casting your opposition as cringe, lame, and weird is an effective strategy,” conservative political activist Matt Walsh posted Monday on X. Donald Trump Jr. has leaned heavily on redirecting the word “weird,” using it against Harris five times, including in a caption on a video of her high-fiving a drag performer. “The left wants you to believe that one of these people is ‘weird’ [and] that the other one is completely normal,” he wrote. “Well, they’re the weird ones,” Trump said.

It made him not only shot put’s farthest thrower of all time — Crouser owns the world and Olympic records — but also indisputably its most dominant. “To say the least.”His opening throw of 74 feet, 3 ½ inches would have been enough to win gold by itself. It is not as though Crouser has won multiple Olympic and world championships while beating up on inferior competition, either. “I don’t really talk when I see him training because he’s the world record holder,” said triple jumper Jaydon Hibbert, a medal contender from Jamaica who competes collegiately for Arkansas. “I’m not going to bother the world record holder.”Ryan Crouser during the London Athletics Meet on July 20.

NANTERRE, France — Katie Ledecky is rewriting the history books. On Saturday night, she took gold in the women’s 800-meter freestyle, her fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal in the event. It marks the first time a woman ever won four gold medals in the same event and also brought Ledecky’s career total up to nine Olympic gold medals, which ties Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina for the most all-time by a female Olympian. Her nine Olympic gold medals are tied for second-most for an American athlete with swimmer Mark Spitz and track and field athlete Carl Lewis. Michael Phelps holds the record for the most Olympic gold medals for an American athlete with 23.

Noah Lyles, the brash American with dreams of Olympic gold in Paris, rarely cedes the spotlight. He is, after all, the biggest star in what historically has been track and field’s most high-profile event, the men’s 100-meter dash. The men’s 100 might not even be the premier event in the sport anymore. The men’s 100 is steeped in history. Past winners include some of the most luminous figures in Olympic track history: Jesse Owens.

Four teenagers accused of fatally beating a classmate last year in Las Vegas have agreed to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter, which will keep them from being tried as adults, attorneys confirmed Thursday. Attorney Robert Draskovich represents one of the four teens charged in the beating. Draskovich said his client agreed to plead guilty in a deal that would crumble if one of the defendants involved changes their plea. Mellisa Ready, Lewis’ mother, told NBC affiliate KMCC of Las Vegas on Thursday that she was “dumbfounded” and "in shock" by the plea agreement. She said that she had heard from the Clark County District Attorney’s office that the teens were going to plead guilty to murder in the adult court system.

Videos circulating on social media from the Sunderland protest show a local police station on fire and large crowds gathered carrying anti-immigrant signs. Ian Forsyth/Getty Images“The shocking scenes we have witnessed in Sunderland this evening are completely unacceptable,” Chief Superintendent Barron said. Earlier this week, police said they believed the crowd in Southport took to the streets over unconfirmed reports speculating on the identity of the teenage stabbings suspect. Police have said the suspect was born in Wales and lived in a village nearby, according to Reuters. “The police have the full backing of Government to take the strongest possible action & ensure they face the full force of the law.

To many, "Baby Reindeer" is known as the Netflix series that swept the internet in the spring of 2024 with its harrowing, seemingly true tale based on creator Richard Gadd's experience of being stalked. Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn and Jessica Gunning as Martha Scott in "Baby Reindeer." The drama over "Baby Reindeer," which has been both a boon and a threat to the streamer, reflects a larger reckoning for prestige TV's favorite pastime: adapting true stories. Atsushi Nishijima/Netflix Show less "Baby Reindeer." Harvey's lawyer Roth doesn't think Netflix particularly cared about the risk of legal action when it greenlit "Baby Reindeer."

In late 2020, a news start-up began pitching investors on a bold vision: By creating content native to social media for Gen Z audiences — and later acquiring brands like The Daily Mail — the company would begin to create “the Amazon of News” within five years. “We must create a movement,” read a pitch deck for the company viewed by The New York Times. “A movement hungry for the facts and thirsty for the truth.”That company, which eventually became known as The News Movement, was co-founded by Will Lewis, a media executive who was named chief executive of The Washington Post last year. In early June, Mr. Lewis announced a new division in the newsroom that would focus in part on “social media journalism” to help turn around its ailing finances. The announcement, made alongside the news that the paper’s executive editor was leaving, ultimately led to internal strife and questions about Mr. Lewis’s leadership and ethics.

What’s Uniting, and Dividing, Native Voters in ArizonaNative American voters were key to helping Democrats clinch Arizona in 2020. But in this election, many Native voters say they feel exhausted, disappointed and torn about how to vote. But overall it was frustration and anxiety that we heard as we talked with more than four dozen voters around Phoenix and on the Navajo Nation, the country’s largest reservation, about their concerns. Many voters felt like they had been left out of the state’s growing economy, with unemployment for Native Americans almost double the national average. Most of the voters we spoke to said no, but some were willing to give him another shot.

But Lyles is aiming to do the opposite of cramming his listed 5-foot-10 frame and 6-foot-9 personality into a traditional box. You have all these other athletes as stars, rock stars, popular wherever they go. Still, Noahstradamus predicted he’d win gold in both the 100 and the 200 in Paris. Certainly, when you think of the track stars whose fame extended beyond the ceiling of their sport, it came with heroic feats. He’d not only cement himself an Olympic champion, he’d be primed to fully take advantage of it with the 2028 Olympics coming to America.

Read previewIn May, Ryan Salame was sentenced to 7½ years in prison for his role in Sam Bankman-Fried's multi-billion-dollar cryptocurrency fraud. In May, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan — who also oversaw Bankman-Fried's trial — sentenced Salame to 7.5 years in prison, higher than what prosecutors recommended. AdvertisementSalame says without evidence that a key witness in Bankman-Fried's trial liedSalame pleaded guilty to charges against him in September, shortly before the start of Bankman-Fried's criminal trial in Manhattan. At the trial, Singh said he initially cared about the political donations, but later just did whatever Salame told him to. In social media posts, Salame said Singh wasn't being truthful about his role in the use of FTX customer funds.

The Guardian said Brown wrote to police after documents that were recently made public during civil court proceedings reportedly showed Lewis met with detectives in 2011. After he was hired by the Post, Lewis also tried to kill a story about his alleged involvement in the phone hacking scandal coverup, offering an NPR reporter an interview in exchange for squashing the forthcoming article. In May, Brown wrote to the Metropolitan Police and said he was told that the “Met’s special inquiry team” would look into it. The security threats were believed to be genuine and were not devised as part of an alleged ‘cover-up’ and there is no evidence to show that is the case,” the News UK spokesperson said. The allegations swirling around Lewis have roiled The Washington Post newsroom in recent months.

“It had to feel peaceful, because I have to be able to pray,” said Ms. Lewis, 59, a native New Yorker now based in Atlanta. “I have stayed in places where it was not peaceful, and I have moved out. On one visit, she stayed at an Airbnb in New Jersey, and then an Airbnb in Queens. “But once we knew we were going to Broadway, I wanted to find something in the city,” Ms. Lewis said. Not too close to Midtown, but not so far as to make for a burdensome commute to the stage door.

DNA analysis sheds light on how Neanderthals disappeared
  + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
The analysis, published July 12 in the journal Science, showed that the two groups exchanged DNA at multiple points over the past 250,000 years, shedding light on how Neanderthals disappeared and potentially rewriting the story of how and when our Homo sapiens ancestors left Africa. Genetic detective workDuring the two earlier waves of interbreeding, the Neanderthal population absorbed human genes and the offspring stayed within Neanderthal groups, according to the new study. Russian archeologists digging inside Denisova cave located in the the Altai mountains that's been home to Neanderthals, early modern humans and the Denisovans. A skull found in Qafzeh Israel is believed to have belonged to an early modern human. The researchers’ analysis suggests that the Neanderthal population size at the time was 20% smaller than previously thought.

Still, as the U.S. men’s team starts its Olympic run Sunday, it begins with a roster that has drawn countless comparisons to the Dream Team. On paper, the U.S. men’s team is arguably the best team assembled since 1992. Durant is the most prolific scorer in U.S. men’s history and could, if the Americans win gold in Paris, become the most decorated Olympic men’s basketball player. A loss in the knockout stages, when there are no more second chances, and a Dream Team redux becomes a historic nightmare. In that scenario, the U.S. men’s team would be remembered forever, even if not quite held in the same reverence as the Dream Team.
