CNN.com reports today:As memories fade from last December's horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, a new national poll indicates that support for stricter gun control laws appears to be fading, too. According to a new CNN/ORC International survey, 49% of Americans say they support stricter gun control laws, with 50% opposed. That 49 percent support for “stricter gun control laws” represents a slight decline from the 53 percent who supported that aim when CNN/ORC last polled the question, in April. (As CNN noted, that figure “is in line with just about every other national survey released over the past couple of months.”)That shows the paradox of polling on “stricter gun control laws”: in that April poll, a full third of the total respondents said they didn't support “stricter gun control laws” in the abstract, but when specifically asked about one such law, they said they were for it. Unfortunately, CNN/ORC doesn't seem to have polled specific “stricter gun control laws” in their latest poll, leading to results and thus media coverage that is far less informative.

We are actively recruiting Primary Starting Pitchers who want to take the ball every week, pitch deep into games, and become the durable, innings-capable arms MLB organizations need. What the USPBL plans for a primary starting pitcher: “Build the ability to pitch deep into games.”That used to be self-evident for a starting pitcher, but no longer. In 2025, three major league pitchers threw 200 innings. Major league teams crave velocity, and young pitchers train to boost it. Here’s hoping the USPBL can discover some training methods that major league teams can use.

Ant and Dec at the Britain's Got Talent launch in 2016 via Associated PressAnt and Dec have issued a public apology after facing backlash over a social media post that some critics described as inadvertently “triggering”. However, shortly after the ad – which has now been pulled – went live, some took issue with the imagery, which was branded “insensitive” by some who felt the opening shot was reminiscent of suicide imagery. “Ant and I don’t get to hang out as much as we used to, so it’s perfect for us.”In addition to the regular audio podcast, full video episodes of Hanging Out With Ant And Dec will be available to watch on the Belta Box YouTube channel when it launches later this week. AdvertisementBelta Box will also run across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and will be the home of “new digital formats” as well as clips of “classic And and Dec moments from some of their best-loved shows”. Over the years, these shows have included the likes of SM:TV Live, Saturday Night Takeaway, the gameshow Limitless Win and the children’s drama Byker Grove, which Ant and Dec recently announced they would be rebooting for the BBC.

By LZ Granderson / Los Angeles TimesOne of the most important political stories in American history — one that is particularly germane to our current, tumultuous time — unfolded in Los Angeles some 65 years ago. While his faith made party leaders nervous, they were downright afraid of the impact a civil rights protest during the Democratic National Convention could have on November’s election. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. was also a warrior for civil rights, but the House representative preferred the legislative approach, where backroom deals were quietly made and his power most concentrated.

The complaint says restaurant employees observed the assault through the drive-thru window and on surveillance feeds but failed to call 911 or otherwise intervene. Rangel's filing names McDonald's and franchise operators as defendants and seeks unspecified damages for wrongful death and negligence. For McDonald's crew members and franchise staff, the complaint spotlights the split-second responsibilities workers face when violence erupts on a property they operate.
