A serious crash occurred east of Lincoln, Nebraska on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in two people being seriously injured. The collision was reported at approximately 1:20 p.m. at the intersection of 148th and Adams streets. According to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, a semitrailer and a passenger vehicle were involved in the crash. Two occupants of the car—an older woman and a child—sustained serious injuries and were transported to a hospital. The driver of the semi-truck was not injured. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Authorities closed 148th Street between Holdrege Street and Havelock Avenue following the incident. This is a developing story, with updates to be provided by Channel 8 (KLKN-TV).

A Philadelphia sports content creator known as Rossi faces potential backlash if the Phillies miss the playoffs, stemming from a viral Instagram comment she made. The comment, which reads "Let a homeless guy get your (sic) pregnant," has garnered over 584,977 likes on her personal account and is the top comment there. However, on the Crossing Broad Instagram account sharing her post, the top comment is different. It belongs to The Real Malik Joe (a verified account who has collaborated with Crossing Broad's Kevin Pagan), suggesting Rossi should "get a hot dog and re-sell it on the subway." This comment has significantly fewer likes (1,252), leading the author to speculate that Instagram's algorithm prioritizes it due to verification status and past interactions. The author notes this discrepancy creates ambiguity about what truly constitutes the "top comment," possibly offering Rossi an easy out if the situation escalates negatively. The key factor for Rossi avoiding disaster is the Phillies making the playoffs. Currently holding a 55-41 record, the team is on pace to secure either the division title or a wild card spot, barring a major collapse. Their position is considered stronger compared to the previous two seasons at the same point. The author concludes by humorously remarking that the extremely high engagement on Rossi's post likely generated enough revenue to "sign a couple of bullpen arms."

The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2025 NFL season with the second-longest active playoff drought in the league, having last made the postseason in 2017; only the New York Jets have a longer drought. An analyst expresses strong confidence that this drought will end in 2025, citing the Falcons' +155 playoff odds (39.22% implied probability) at DraftKings Sportsbook as a betting opportunity he personally took. The analyst highlights several reasons for optimism. Offensively, the Falcons possess significant talent, including playmakers Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Darnell Mooney, and boast the NFL's 8th-ranked offensive line anchored by standout guard Chris Lindstrom. While quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is a question mark, his three starts in 2024 showed promise with a strong arm, good pocket presence, and clutch ability. Defensively, the team addressed its pass rush by signing Leonard Floyd and drafting Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. in the first round, while also adding safety Jordan Fuller. Furthermore, replacing defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake with Jeff Ulbrich is expected to significantly improve the unit. Finally, the Falcons are projected to have the sixth-easiest schedule in the NFL for the 2025 season, facing only five teams that made the playoffs the previous year. The analyst also notes their +240 odds to win the NFC South (second behind the Buccaneers) and believes a wild-card berth is achievable even without a division title. The piece concludes by encouraging readers who believe the Falcons have a better than 40% chance of making the playoffs to bet on them at +155 via DraftKings, promoting a sign-up offer of $150 in bonus bets for a $5 wager. It includes standard gambling disclaimers about odds changing, the content being for entertainment/educational purposes only, and resources for gambling problems (1-800-GAMBLER).

The article discusses significant value drops among running backs in 2025 fantasy football projections, termed "Draft Chasms of Doom," influencing draft strategies like "Zero RB" (delaying first RB selection) or "Hero RB" (taking one elite RB early, then focusing on other positions). Graphs illustrating Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) projections show a distinct early drop-off at the position. Christian McCaffrey projects as the top-scoring RB (314.1 points) despite a projection lower than his 2023 workload or pace, highlighting his immense value if healthy. However, due to injury risk, the author ranks him below the top tier (Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley). Several Tier 2 RBs could reach Tier 1 with increased opportunity or better offenses. The projections feature a significantly larger Tier 3 than the rankings. RB25 (Kaleb Johnson) ends Tier 4 in the rankings, reflecting many risky split backfields (players like RJ Harvey to J.K. Dobbins). Tier 4 consists of RBs in timeshares or high-end backups with RB2+ upside if the starter gets injured. The author advocates drafting an early running back, aiming to secure a Tier 1 (projections) or Tier 1-2 (rankings) RB within the first two rounds. This is partly due to the NFL draft influx, leading to roughly half the league starting Week 1 with shared RB touches. The "Hero RB" approach is deemed smart this year, allowing managers to load up on WRs, an early QB/TE, and still acquire timeshare RBs later who might offer similar value to RBs drafted earlier. While endorsing Hero RB, the author emphasizes not ignoring RB value if it presents itself in Rounds 3-6. Waiting too long, even correctly reasoning minimal drop-off exists for several picks, risks ending up with near-replacement-level players as your RB2. The strategy doesn't require waiting indefinitely if better value and team build emerge.

With the NFL season nearing and fantasy football drafts actively underway, identifying potential breakout players is presented as a crucial strategy for success. The article emphasizes that recognizing young talent poised for a significant leap, though easier in hindsight, is key to winning fantasy championships. The author announces a series of articles over the coming week, highlighting their favorite breakout candidates for every key fantasy position. This specific article focuses exclusively on running backs as the position being analyzed. The article concludes by listing the statistical categories for which 2025 fantasy projections will be provided for the running back candidates: Carries, Rushing Yards, Rushing Touchdowns, Receptions, and Receiving Yards.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is asking employees to fill critical positions that were recently vacated after incentivizing staff to leave, as part of broader workforce reductions. Agency leadership informed employees that further cuts are planned, but these specific vacancies are essential for mission delivery, such as roles for soil conservationists. Since January, NRCS has reduced its workforce by nearly 2,400 employees, representing over 20% of its staff, with a hiring freeze in effect until at least October 15. The agency plans to continue reducing staffing levels to below those of December 2019 before resuming hiring, after which staffing will be capped at that December 2019 level indefinitely. This follows a USDA-wide deferred resignation program that led to about 16,000 departures, allowing employees paid leave before exiting in September. NRCS is now the second USDA component, after the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in May, to seek lateral transfers to backfill critical roles. The Supreme Court recently lifted an injunction that had blocked USDA from implementing widespread layoffs, enabling the department to proceed with workforce reductions. In discussions about internal transfer opportunities, NRCS leadership cited USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins' earlier comments on "optimizing and reducing the size of its workforce to become more efficient." This includes relocating many employees out of the Washington region, consolidating redundant functions, eliminating unnecessary management layers, and offloading office space. Employees expressed skepticism and low morale, noting that the agency implied their jobs could be at risk if they do not apply for transfers, while emphasizing that transfers offer no future job protection. Few are expected to take the offers seriously unless there are personal benefits like improved work-life balance, as morale is already depleted. NRCS is focusing on filling specialist positions, but employees raised concerns that recent mass firings of newer hires and incentivized exits of experienced staff have created a gap, leaving no younger talent to replace departing workers. One employee described the transfer solicitation as a sign that initial workforce reductions were "ill-advised at best." Employees can apply for up to three critical vacancies, with decisions made by state-level NRCS officials or their deputies. However, USDA will not offer pay retention, grade increases, or relocation expenses, though it will try to match current salaries. Applicants for Washington-based roles were warned they might face mandatory relocation later. Staffing cuts have already caused operational issues, such as increased workloads—one employee now covers 10 counties instead of four—and the loss of key expertise, including Geographic Information System specialists critical for mapping-dependent tasks. This has reduced capacity for programs like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, which helps farmers improve environmental outcomes, leading to fewer application approvals.

Manchester United have approached Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitiké to beat Newcastle United to his signature and are considering a player-plus-cash offer. Newcastle United, instead of pursuing Ekitiké, are preparing a €70 million bid for Real Madrid striker Endrick and are also interested in Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, though his £90 million price tag is problematic. Newcastle are open to selling Alexander Isak for £120 million, a fee that could interest Liverpool. Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly ready to make a world-record €250 million bid for Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer, but Chelsea have no interest in selling. Crystal Palace are open to a swap deal with Arsenal involving Eberechi Eze, preferring Leandro Trossard as part of the exchange. Nottingham Forest reported Tottenham Hotspur to the Premier League over their pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White, which derailed a proposed swap deal between Forest and Manchester City involving James McAtee. Manchester United, accepting no one will meet their €25 million asking price for Jadon Sancho, are prepared to lower demands in negotiations with Juventus. Man Utd are also ahead of Everton in pursuing Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz and are prepared to discuss a loan with an option to buy. Leeds United are interested in a loan deal for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo García, with Brentford, Sunderland, and West Ham United also showing interest. Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister has turned down an approach from Bayern Munich, stating he would only leave for Real Madrid. Agent Jorge Mendes has repeatedly offered Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) to Real Madrid, but the Spanish club remains uninterested, even on a free transfer. Atlético Madrid have joined Manchester United in pursuing Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso, who Lyon might sell for around €25 million due to financial issues. Barcelona are ready to terminate Oriol Romeu's contract, with Girona looking to sign him on a free. Romeu is one of five players manager Hansi Flick is urging the club to offload, alongside Iñaki Peña, Pau Víctor, Marc-André ter Stegen, and likely Andreas Christensen.

A Hudsonville High School football player, Ethan Carter, was shot multiple times in Birmingham, Alabama, while attempting to purchase a gun. The incident occurred near Winchester Drive and Ridgewood Circle just before 6 p.m. on Saturday. Police stated Carter was in the Roebuck area to meet individuals he connected with online for the gun purchase. According to investigators, Carter met with two people to buy the firearm. Instead, they robbed him, shot him multiple times in the head, neck, chest, and arm, and stole his vehicle. Carter sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital. Birmingham Police confirmed that no arrests have been made at this time. They strongly urged the public to avoid purchasing firearms off the street or through social media, warning that such transactions are extremely dangerous and often result in violence, advising people to only use legal and licensed dealers. Hudsonville High School provided updates on Carter's condition. On Sunday, they reported he was conscious, had full function, and was in an Alabama trauma unit. A subsequent update from Carter's mother confirmed he would not need surgery. According to NBC affiliate WOOD-TV, Carter has since been released from the hospital and is en route back to Michigan. Carter's coach, Leonard Stephens, described him as a focused, hardworking young man who earned a scholarship to Davenport University through grit. Stephens expressed his heartbreak over the news, offering prayers and support, and expressed belief in Carter's recovery as a fighter. Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the BPD Robbery Unit at 205-254-1753 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 205-254-7777.

The MLB draft format changed this year, compressing 20 rounds into two days instead of three, forcing the Chicago Cubs' staff into a demanding schedule. After completing Rounds 1-3 on Sunday night, staff left Wrigley Field around 1 a.m. Monday and returned just four hours later, at 5 a.m., to start Rounds 4-20. Cubs amateur scouting director Dan Kantrovitz acknowledged the quick turnaround disrupted the usual rhythm and described Monday as an "exhausting" but "pretty fun" long day, stating "that's how a draft should be." He believes the Cubs executed their pre-draft plan "to a T" through at least the sixth round. Their selections included left-handed-hitting outfielders Ethan Conrad (Wake Forest) and Kane Kepley (North Carolina) with the first two picks. A key strategy was acquiring pitching volume, resulting in seven college pitchers drafted with their final ten picks, specifically targeting starters. Kantrovitz anticipates signing 18 or 19 of their 20 draft picks. He did not express specific optimism about signing 19th-round pick, third baseman Caleb Barnett (an Alabama commit).

Kinlie Brennise, raised in Craig, Colorado without a traditional rodeo family background, competed alongside her brother with support from her parents Sheila and Scott and one rodeo-participating uncle. Her parents dedicated extensive resources to her development, traveling nationwide to access top clinics and competitions. Currently pursuing her first National Finals qualification, Brennise transitioned this year from regional circuit rodeos to full-time competition, noting significant mental adjustments. As a four-time Mountain States circuit finals qualifier, she emphasizes managing emotional highs and lows: "I’ve learned to not ride the highs too high and the lows too low... taking it one calf at a time." She acknowledges competitive slumps require varied responses—sometimes stepping away entirely or reverting to fundamentals like roping practice dummies. As of July 10, Brennise ranked fifth globally with $61,000 in annual earnings, later adding approximately $18,000 by advancing from Pool A to the finals at Calgary Stampede. Brennise consistently credits her family for her success, recognizing their foundational role in her performance. She plans to rely on their support throughout her ongoing campaign to qualify for Las Vegas' National Finals Rodeo.

Hundreds of teenagers gathered in strip mall parking lots across the Bay Area for Friday night parties, resulting in fights and significant trash being left behind. Multiple arrests occurred in Brentwood, while two people were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries from the incident in Alameda. At the South Shore Center parking lot in Alameda, witnesses described an intense scene involving around 300 teens, loud noises initially thought to be gunshots (though police said this was unclear), heavy drinking, and numerous fights. Keith Theige, a nearby resident, reported seeing multiple fights, including one where a young woman was pulled to a car by friends after being involved. Other witnesses stated they saw about a dozen fights near the mall entrance and teens jumping on cars and pounding on windows. Emergency medical services staged nearby but reportedly did not immediately enter, while police used a bullhorn to address the crowd. Brentwood experienced a similar situation the same day at Sand Creek Crossing, where police reported a group of over 300 teens, some arriving via rideshare, from outside the area. This gathering also involved fights and items being knocked off store shelves, leading to five arrests. Residents expressed concern about the lack of safe spaces for teens and the potential for violence in such large, uncontrolled gatherings. Theige specifically questioned the police response in Alameda, noting the presence of fighting yet no apparent arrests made at that location. Alameda police characterized their incident as isolated, while Brentwood police termed theirs a "link up" and are investigating another possible meet-up being discussed online. Brentwood police are also planning a meeting to discuss these "teen takeovers."

A traveling band from Mexico has announced that all members are expected to survive following a severe crash in McHenry. Their van struck a tree, resulting in three members sustaining severe injuries and six others being hospitalized. The accident occurred around 7:20 p.m. Saturday at Route 31 and Prime Parkway. Emergency crews, including the McHenry Township Fire Protection District and McHenry Police Department, responded to reports of a crashed transport van with multiple injuries. They arrived within six minutes, finding the van heavily damaged after hitting an electrical pole. Occupants were found injured outside the vehicle; none were trapped. Firefighters began triage and treatment. Damaged, arcing power lines posed a hazard, requiring ComEd response, and a malfunctioning transformer caused a power outage in parts of McHenry. An investigation by McHenry Deputy Police Chief Thomas Walsh determined the cause: the driver of the northbound white Ford E-350 van (towing a trailer) fell asleep at the wheel. This caused the van to veer into the southbound lane and strike a utility pole in front of 1501 South Front Street. Battalion Chief Ryan Mastandrea confirmed 14 adults occupied the van at the time of the crash. Due to the number of injured, a significant emergency response was deployed, including two fire engines, multiple fire chiefs, and seven ambulances. Nine occupants were transported to area hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to severe. Among these nine, three suffered severe injuries; one critically injured victim was airlifted by LifeNet helicopter to Advocate Condell Medical Center, a Level 1 trauma center in Libertyville.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated that Canada might need to accept some tariffs as part of a future trade agreement with the United States. He stated there is little evidence the Trump administration would completely abandon levies in any deal, noting that all of President Trump's past trade negotiations have included tariffs. This comment was made ahead of a cabinet meeting in Ottawa. The context is an ongoing trade war since Trump took office, marked by US tariffs on Canadian goods and Canadian countermeasures. Last week, President Trump announced a new 35% tariff on Canadian goods set to start August 1st, replacing the current 25% rate which includes exemptions. Trump has also imposed global tariffs, including 25% on steel and aluminium and 25% on non-US built cars and trucks, plus a recently announced 50% tariff on copper imports effective next month. Prime Minister Carney did not explicitly state if he would accept tariffs in a deal but reiterated he would only sign an agreement "that's in Canada's best interest." He also warned Canada is prepared to impose further counter-tariffs if no deal is reached with Washington. These US tariffs are particularly damaging to Canada as it sends about three-quarters of its exports to the US, especially in vulnerable sectors like auto manufacturing and metals supply. However, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (CUSMA) currently exempts much of the cross-border trade between the US, Canada, and Mexico from additional levies. US media reports confirm the agreement remains in effect. Despite Canada's exports to the US declining since April, compliance with CUSMA has increased. Data cited from the US Census Bureau shows approximately 91% of Canadian exports to the US crossed the border duty-free.

President Donald Trump announced a preliminary trade deal with Indonesia on Tuesday, stating it sets a 19% tariff on Indonesian exports to the United States. Trump claimed the deal grants the US access to the Indonesian market and emphasized that Indonesia would pay the 19% tariff while the US would pay no tariffs on its exports to Indonesia. Trump later elaborated on Truth Social, asserting that as part of the agreement, Indonesia committed to purchasing $15 billion in U.S. energy, $4.5 billion in American agricultural products, and 50 Boeing jets, many being 777s. This aligns with recent reports of Indonesian airline Garuda considering an order for 50-75 Boeing aircraft. It remains unclear if Jakarta has approved these specific terms, as the Indonesian Embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggested the deal involves Indonesia dropping its tariffs on U.S. goods. The White House also did not provide additional details on the purported agreement. The announced 19% tariff represents a reduction from the 32% duty Trump had threatened to impose on Indonesian imports just the previous week. Trump attributed the deal to direct negotiations with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, whom he praised. This announcement follows a similar pattern to Trump's July 2nd claim of a trade deal with Vietnam, which included a 20% tariff. Indonesia is a significant U.S. trade partner, with bilateral goods trade exceeding $38 billion in 2024 and a U.S. trade deficit of $17.9 billion in 2023.

BBC reporter Gary O'Donoghue received an unexpected phone call from President Donald Trump on Monday evening. O'Donoghue had been hoping for an interview to mark the anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, believing his previous reporting on that event might secure the rare opportunity. After a false alarm the previous night, he had given up and was asleep when the White House called. Awoken by the call, O'Donoghue was connected to Trump via Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Despite initial technical difficulties where the line dropped, the call resumed, and O'Donoghue spoke with the president for nearly 20 minutes. Their conversation covered the Butler shooting, Trump's frustrations with Vladimir Putin, his views on NATO, and his opinion of the UK. Key takeaways from the conversation included Trump sounding reflective and vulnerable when discussing the assassination attempt. He expressed discomfort talking about it, stating he tries not to dwell on it ("I don't like dwelling on it... I don't want it to have to be that") and prefers "the power of positive thinking, or the power of positive non-thinking." O'Donoghue noted moments of reflection and unusually long pauses before answers, contrasting Trump's typical unfiltered style. When asked if he trusted Putin, after a long pause, Trump replied, "I trust almost nobody to be honest with you."

Emily Fenech, a 41-year-old marketing VP at HR tech company AllVoices, explores AI applications for HR. After a LinkedIn post she made about AI tools for HR went viral, commenters repeatedly suggested an AI interview tool, prompting her to test it via a mock interview. She had a negative experience. The interview featured a robotic voice and a static logo instead of an avatar. Fenech found the interface off-putting while answering high-stakes questions. Although initially considering it potentially useful as a screener, the interaction deteriorated. The tool created a hypothetical scenario for an office manager role. Fenech, jokingly claiming 25 years of experience in a field she doesn't work in (she's a marketer), received exaggerated praise like "Wow, that's so impressive." Even when she sarcastically stated her responsibilities included planning birthday parties and ordering toilet paper, the AI responded positively, complimenting her party planning skills. This consistent, unwarranted praise made her feel "gaslit" and indicated the tool would find something positive in any response, lacking critical assessment. Fenech was surprised to learn from LinkedIn comments that companies are already using this technology. She criticized the tool for creating a robotic interaction dynamic, explaining that humans naturally match conversational energy, leading her to give short answers because she didn't want to engage with a non-person. While critical of this specific application, Fenech supports using AI in HR for beneficial tasks like transcribing conversations, tracking performance goals by analyzing emails and meetings, or enabling employees to find policies (e.g., PTO, W2 forms) without HR intervention.

Evidence of blast injury has been discovered within the brain of a deceased Australian veteran. This finding represents an unusual pattern of brain scarring associated with repeated exposure to blast waves. While similar blast injuries have been identified in the brains of deceased US veterans in the past, this marks the first documented instance of such evidence being found in an Australian veteran. In response to this discovery, Australian Army Chief Lieutenant General Simon Stuart stated that the army is collaborating with the United States to further investigate this condition. The report includes a warning that it contains details of a suicide, which may disturb some readers.
