Tom Cutinella, who played linebacker and guard and was in his junior year, “was a spectacular human being and there wasn’t a student who met him who didn’t love him,” said his criminal justice teacher, Ruth Squillace. “The send-off he received today was precisely what he was due,” she said of Thursday night’s memorial. Cutinella, who wore No. 54 for the Wildcats, was hit around 6 p.m. Wednesday in the third quarter with Shoreham-Wading River leading 17-12 over John Glenn High School in Elwood, about 43 miles east of Manhattan....

The Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) — one of the most secure jails in America — in Lower Manhattan will be closed at least temporarily to resolve safety and infrastructure issues, The New York Times reported on Thursday, citing the Justice Department. The jail typically houses high-profile fraudsters, gangsters and murderers while they await trial. Prison officials told the newspaper that they currently house 233 inmates, lower than the maximum capacity of 600....

Devon Morales, the mother of one of the class’ students, took to Twitter on Wednesday to express her frustration. “Day one of remote learning. 5 minutes into my daughter’s Google meet with her first class, and several ‘students’ have hijacked the meeting, the first posting Trump pics, and then someone streamed PORN!!” Morales wrote, while sharing a picture of the hacked class and tagging the New York City Department of Education Chancellor Richard Carranza, New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, and the city’s Department of Education....

“On Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 0900 hours, the following off-duty New York City employee [D’Andraia] was arrested and charged within the confines of the 84 Precinct,” a spokesperson for the NYPD told Newsweek in an email. The alleged assault was captured on video by Newsweek. D’Andraia, 28, called protester Dounya Zayer, 20, a “stupid f—ing b—h” and shoved her roughly to the ground, causing her to roll and hit her head on the sidewalk....

So as he’s done in the past, Reddam named a horse after a player on his beloved boy from Hockeytown. That horse just happened to be good enough to win the 2016 Kentucky Derby — Nyquist, the pre-race favorite at 2-to-1. MORE: Best Derby names since 2000 | Photos from Nyquist’s win Reddam has named his horses after Red Wings in the past — Datsyuk, Lindstrom, Zetterberg, Mrazek, Kronwall and Tatar among them....

In a story published Wednesday, The Times showed flaws in the investigation by police as well as shortcomings by the university in the sexual assault investigation of Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston. In December, Florida State Attorney Willie Meggs announced that Winston would not be charged after completing the investigation. Meggs’ office took the case in November 2013. “The police did not follow the obvious leads that would have quickly identified the suspect as well as witnesses, one of whom videotaped part of the sexual encounter....

Both teams have begun their campaigns in contrasting fashion with the Kiwis being undefeated so far while South Africa only have a win over Afghanistan to show for from their five games so far. Injuries have derailed South Africa’s campaign although Lungi Ngidi is almost certain to return for South Africa against a very strong Kiwi batting unit led by their captain Kane Williamson. The venue for this iconic encounter, Edgbaston is set to host its first game of the season and with the wide array of superstars set to face off, one can expect a mouth-watering encounter....

The Sunday World reported O’Neill’s assistant Keane launched an expletive-laden rant against Arter after the midfielder sat out a training session at a team camp in June. According to reports, a leaked WhatsApp message, said to have come from Stephen Ward, detailed the row between Keane, Arter and forward Jon Walters, who had also been advised to miss the session by medical staff. O’Neill appeared to confirm Burnley defender Ward was the source of the message after questioning how the 33-year-old would have first-hand knowledge of an incident he did not witness....

O’Neill, who led the team to the second round at Euro 2016, turned down the chance to take charge of Scotland. Northern Ireland narrowly missed out on qualification for the 2018 World Cup, losing a play-off 1-0 on aggregate to Switzerland. And the 48-year-old has now agreed to extend his six-year reign by putting pen to paper on a new long-term deal. “The IFA came to me very quickly after the disappointment of defeat by Switzerland in the World Cup play-off and indicated that they would like to extend my contract,” O’Neill told Sky Sports....

Appearing for an interview on the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends on Thursday, Torres lamented the fact that ICE and ICE agents were getting so much negative attention from Democratic lawmakers and the public. He argued that many of the agency’s agents and staff have worked under both Republicans and Democrats. He said they are not political, and are only working to serve the country. The morning show’s hosts then showed footage of an attack carried out last month by a self-identified anti-fascist or “antifa” activist on an ICE facility in Washington state....

The toughest task remaining for Barack Obama in this twilight phase of the neverending Democratic primary battle isn’t avoiding embarrassment in Kentucky (he won’t), finding a consensus solution to the Florida/Michigan dispute (he might) or racking up enough delegates to finally clinch the nomination (he will, eventually). It’s earning the trust of Democratic voters like Cynthia Ruccia, 55, and Jamie Dixey, 57, of Columbus, Ohio. The organizers of a new group called “Clinton Supporters Count, Too” that plans to work actively against Obama in swing states this fall, Ruccia and Dixey represent a sizable number of Clintonites, many of them women, whose initial preference for the former First Lady has hardened into an unyielding opposition to her rival....

What’s got everyone talking is the idea that U.S. troops are so ill-equipped that they are actually using the enemy’s weapons to turn around and fight the same enemy. My rifle company landed in Iraq in 2003 with hardly any M240G machine gun ammo. The rumor was additional ammo was graciously provided to the machine gunners by some Navy SEAL’s. But that was when the war first started. How about now?...

Obama’s brief comments about the 2020 Democratic candidate field in remarks to liberal and Democratic donors in Washington offered some of his very first critiques of how his party is approaching the upcoming primaries. Obama urged the candidates against pushing too far to the left in their primary campaigns that may alienate general election moderate voters when the nominee ultimately faces off against President Donald Trump. As The New York Times first reported, the former president told Democrats not to let “certain left-leaning Twitter feeds” dictate their policies....

Allan Liska, an intelligence analyst at the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, said that it’s very unusual for a politically-active group like the NRA to be singled out by ransomware gangs. Those groups usually also opt to target vulnerable technologies rather than organizations, he said. “It’s not likely that this was specifically targeted at the NRA, the NRA just happened to get hit,” Liska said. “You never know, though.” The files posted by the group, which calls itself Grief, relate to grants that the NRA has given out, the AP reported....

Dizzy first began as a rifler for CS:GO, playing from 2016 to 2017 on various teams such as Mythic, Enigma6 Group, Selfessless Gaming, and the Foundation. Afterward, he began streaming games like Fortnite and eventually found his place in Apex Legends, with Wraith serving as his main of the 8 available characters. At the time of this writing, Dizzy holds the Solo vs. Trio kill record of 33. This means that Dizzy alone took out over half of the game’s squads....

The key organizer of this Mumbai event, Jay Jhaveri is a much relieved man. A firm believer that the sport has deep roots in the city and junior talents need a good exposure to higher level competitions to help them come up on healthy lines, Jhaveri had wanted the event to be elevated to a four-star event with higher prize money. “Everything went off smoothly,” he said quite satisfied and it also pleased him that players from Maharashtra had a big share in the honours....

First launched at MWC 2019, the Alpha is now out and I’ve spent a week wearing this rather strange device to find out if it’s a watch, a phone, or even any good at all. Price and availability The Nubia Alpha launched in April, with a Bluetooth-only version now available in Europe and North America for €449/$449 through Nubia’s online store. As of yet it isn’t available from any other retailers....

The Nuggets forward has agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract extension, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke Tuesday night on condition of anonymity because the team has yet to announce the deal. Denver had until Oct. 31 to negotiate a new contract for Faried or he would have become a restricted free agent next summer. Faried averaged a career-high 13.7 points last season, and he also grabbed 8....
