It’s always dangerous to get conclusive about a draft class before the picks are called, let alone before the players step on the court, but the preliminary consensus among scouts and experts is that 2022 is top heavy. Specifically, there are four players that sit as the cream. So for the Knicks, who enter the draft lottery at No. 11, the drawing of Ping Pong balls Tuesday night in Chicago is consequential. Potentially franchise altering. There is a decent enough chance for them to crack the top-4 (9.4%) to pay attention, and the reaction of the always demonstrative William Wesley, who is sitting for the Knicks on the dais , will be worth a view regardless of the outcome. And if the Knicks’ lottery luck changes and the franchise moves up in the lottery for the first time since 1985, here’s a breakdown of the four prospective rewards (we’re ignoring that the team could also use such a lucrative pick to trade for a star. Ahem, Donovan Mitchell): JABARI SMITH JR. AGE: … [Read more...] about The tantalizing possibilities of the Knicks’ best-case lottery scenario

The gruesome video filmed by a gunman during a mass shooting at a supermarket that left 10 people dead could still be found on social media two days after the attack. The shooter's footage was still being shared on Twitter on Monday, 48 hours after he filmed the violent deaths of his victims at the Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday. Facebook 's moderators have also been battling to remove links to the violent footage on their platform. Police described the mass shooting as "racially motivated violent extremism," after 11 of the 13 victims were revealed to be Black. Officers arrested 18-year-old Payton Gendron of Conklin, New York, outside the store on suspicion of murder. Facebook and Twitter have been criticized for not making sure that the footage hasn't been fully removed from their sites. Newsweek was easily able to find and view the footage via the two sites; it has reported the posts to moderators. A Meta spokesperson for Facebook told Newsweek … [Read more...] about Facebook, Twitter Battling Buffalo Shooting Video 48 Hours On

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene compared the billions of dollars that Congress is rushing to send to Ukraine for humanitarian and military aid to a "money laundering scheme," saying that nonprofits are being funded by the "friends and families" of U.S. elected officials. Speaking Monday on a podcast about the $40 billion package making its way through Congress, the Georgia Republican said that federal lawmakers "fund non­profits, they fund NGOs, they fund grants, grants that go to people, and if you really look into it, a lot of times it's their friends and families that operate these non­profits and NGOs, and it's basically like money laundering schemes." Greene is among the 57 House Republicans who have voted twice against sending aid fundi ng to Ukraine during its war with Russia. Both rounds of relief passed overwhelmingly in the House in 368-57 votes, and the Senate is preparing to take up its vote on the second package this week. In March, Congress passed a … [Read more...] about Marjorie Taylor Greene likens Ukraine aid to “money laundering scheme”

After the Ayodhya verdict, a sense of anticipation and tension was quite unmistakable in Bhendi Bazaar, one of the most sensitive areas here. But people said they were happy with the verdict. “We want this to end here. Bas ab appeal mat karo [Don't appeal further in the Supreme Court],” said Gulam Mohammed Shaikh, member of the Pydhonie mohalla committee. “This is the most secular judgment. Kanoon ne sab ka saath diya hai . In judges ke photos har chowk mein lagane chahiye . [The law has been on everyone's side. The photos of these judges should be hung on each crossroad],” said Vinod Divecha, a resident. But many people preferred to stay indoors.

The media has hyped it; who has so much time these days]”, a policeman asked. S.V. Pathan, senior Police Inspector, Pydhonie Police … [Read more...] about “Judges should be worshipped”

For Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, it was a long and tense day. As details of the Allahabad High Court judgment came in late on Thursday afternoon, he was closeted with political colleagues at 7 Race Course Road. Once the import of the verdict became clear, he convened the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) and immediately after that he conferred with members of the Congress Core Group, the party's apex decision-making body — a body that includes Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her Political Secretary, Ahmed Patel. The two rounds of discussions dwelt on the legal, political and administrative implications of the judgment. Union Law Minister Veerappa Moily was a special invitee to Thursday's CCS meeting to provide a legal perspective. It was after these two meetings that Dr. Singh issued a public appeal, his second in a fortnight, for peace and tranquillity, in the wake of the court verdict. With the Centre the Receiver of the 66 acres in Ayodhya, Dr. Singh, in his appeal, … [Read more...] about Don’t see it as a victory or defeat: Congress

A young Lokesh Kanagaraj used to often hear stories of how Kamal Haasan would go to the terrace of his Alwarpet residence to get fresh air, and would sometimes wave at fans waiting below. A then aspiring director and fanboy, Lokesh would roam around Kamal’s house with the harboured hope that the star would one day wave at him. All that Lokesh hoped for was a wave from Kamal. But he landed the rare opportunity to say ‘action and cut’ to his “cinema aandavar ”. And that too in his fourth film, Vikram , which marks Kamal’s 232 film. Speaking at the recent audio and trailer launch of Vikram , Lokesh recalled his journey thus far which now seems to have come a full circle. “I am a believer. I have told this many times, I learnt all aspects of filmmaking by watching Kamal sir’s films. I’ve been blessed to have this opportunity to work with him. I believe in commitment towards work. Before Vikram , there was a nine-year journey that has led to where I am today. From day one, there … [Read more...] about ‘Vikram’ audio launch: Suriya plays a cameo, Kamal Haasan and Pa Ranjith to collaborate

In this second and concluding part of a one-hour interview given to N. Ram at ‘Temple Trees' in Colombo, Mahinda Rajapaksa , Sri Lanka's President, responds to questions about his ambitious initiative for a trilingual Sri Lanka, the role of the English language, the contentious 18th constitutional amendment, the jailing and conviction of General Sarath Fonseka, the status and future of 11,000 hard-core LTTE cadres and supporters, and relations with India. You have taken a special interest in language policy. You have announced a Ten Year Presidential Initiative for a Trilingual Sri Lanka and before that the initiative to promote English. This seems to have been thought out over the long term. How do you see this going? Last year was the Year of English and Information Technology. With that the people started spoken English, they started learning English. So I thought the best thing was that all Sinhalese must learn Tamil now, the Tamils must learn Sinhala, and they must all … [Read more...] about ‘Help us bring the communities together’
