The music video features Matt Malley of Counting Crows, John Hatton of the Brian Setzer Orchestra, and several Grammy winners and nominees, each doing what they do best as they re-imagine the Simon and Garfunkel 1969 classic pop tune along with the jazz staple made popular by Louis Armstrong in 1967. Newsweek got the first look at the production and when it is released wide, organizers are hoping it will inspire donations to the Motion Picture Television Fund, which is helping unemployed entertainment workers get through coronavirus shut-down of most movie and TV production....

Lawyers from civil rights organization Muslim Advocates and two additional firms urged ICE and Homeland Security Department authorities to address the alleged violation in a letter issued on Wednesday. The letter details “alarming reports” from Muslim detainees at the Krome Center, who said pre-prepared meals containing pork are served to them two or three times per week. It estimated several dozen of the center’s 440 detainees are Muslim. Although the facility offers halal meals, which do not contain pork, attorneys said the meals are repeatedly spoiled and gave detainees food poisoning upon past consumption....

Despite having spent just one season with the Gunners, the World Cup winner saw his future in north London called into question during the last transfer window. Arsenal 17/10 to beat Cologne A move to Serie A giants Inter was mooted, with the Italians reported to have been eventually forced out of the market by Arsenal’s demands. Mustafi, though, insists that he never wanted to move on and has refuted any suggestion that he came close to leaving Emirates Stadium....

The Germany international arrived at Emirates Stadium from Valencia this summer after Wenger identified the 24-year-old as the man to shore up Arsenal’s defence. Has topless Jovetic trolled Ronaldo? Mustafi has immediately become a fan favourite among the north London faithful and revealed that it was the stability of the club and Wenger - who celebrated 20 years as Gunners boss earlier this month - that played a huge part in his decision to join Arsenal....

“What’s the best way to describe how you’re feeling right now?” “Do you remember when exactly you felt the urge to hurt yourself?” “Have you been stressed by anything lately? Was it one event or a combination of factors?” “Thank you for bringing up your boundaries. We can talk about something else. " “That’s cool with me if this subject’s off-limits. What would you like to do instead?” “I respect your need for privacy....

Because of the illogical and tortured manner by which the official counters have chosen racial categories, our adorable little bundle of polyglot Americana gets no recognition in the fastest-growing segment of the younger generation in the country’s latest decennial enumeration. That cohort officially consists of “mixed race” Americans, but the government insists that our daughter’s toddler counts as blandly, meaninglessly “white” and nothing else. Actually, the lad boasts a background of notable diversity, with a spicy mix of ethnic, cultural and national influences....

Wassa had a season to remember with Niger Tornadoes two seasons ago which saw him attract the attention of Rivers United. But, alongside the Pride of Rivers, the marauding left-back had an underwhelming 2016-17 campaign. While Wassa was used sparingly in Stanley Eguma’s setup, the Port Harcourt side failed to replicate their 2015-16 heroics, thus, struggled on the continent and nearly got relegated. Now with the Federation Cup winners, the wing-back reveals that his explosive style was not welcomed in Stanley Eguma’s restrictive approach....

I knew immediately something was wrong. My left eye wouldn’t move in sync with my right. After a couple of minutes my vision cleared, and the movement of my left eye seemed to return to normal. I shook it off and began my day, slightly worried, but sure it was nothing. By midmorning I was busy at work and had completely forgotten about the whole thing. Late the following afternoon, I noticed a curtain of blackness in the lower right corner of my left eye as I was walking down the hall at work....

After a spell of three games in seven days, Conte was keen to reward his players for their performances and paid a visit to his former club in the meantime, denying he was there to scout any potential signings. Chelsea & Conte could struggle in CL The 47-year-old’s wife Elisabetta, however, made it clear that she would have preferred he remain at home with their daughter despite the football-obsessed coach’s best attempts to explain the necessity of occasional overseas trips....

MySpace announced Tuesday that it has forged a splashy licensing agreement with Sony BMG—the world’s second largest label—for access to streaming videos, music and other content. The partnership calls for the social-networking giant and the music studio to share advertising revenue. And in a bid to conquer the social-networking world beyond U.S. borders, MySpace will soon be offering its 110 million active monthly users free voice chats via a new partnership with Skype (220 million strong, mostly outside of the States)....

“How ironic,” says Brookings Institution economist Robert Litan. Almost at the moment of the market collapse, the profession of economists, who perhaps alone among us had never believed in the productive power of the computer, started to come around. Recent converts include professors emeritus at MIT and Harvard, and the Council of Economic Advisers, which issued a 400-page admiration of the IT-driven New Economy two weeks ago. Their message challenges our old faith: four decades after the first sale of a clunky mainframe computer to a private business (Nielsen, the TV ratings people) America’s economy has only recently proven that it can put the computer to productive use on a broad scale....

In an article published in the journal Science, scientists argued banning vaping products would deprive people of a tool which—despite its problems—could help them quit smoking. Every year, smoking kills more than 480,000 Americans, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “The most conservative estimates suggest that were vaping nicotine to replace most smoking over the next 10 years, 1.6 million premature deaths would be avoided and 20....

“The whole technology was attacked,” Lindell announced to a live crowd gathered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to hear the symposium. “We need to get the word out,” he added, “because they blocked the thing. But this is part of what I’m going to talk about today. This is the cover-up. This is the absolute cover-up of the worst in history.” The three-day streaming event was scheduled to begin on Tuesday....

Lindell, a key promoter of the conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was “stolen” from Trump, made the remarks during an episode of right-wing strategist Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast on Saturday. During the episode, Bannon, Lindell and other guests discussed Twitter’s decision on January 8, 2021 to de-platform Trump—who was still president at the time. “How can you say we’re better off than we were a year ago?” Bannon asked Lindell, after the businessman spoke optimistically about the past 12 months since Trump was removed from the mainstream social media site....

Pence, who has suffered an outbreak of infections among members of his staff, spoke up the president’s response to the pandemic—reiterating claims made by Trump over lives saved due to banning certain travel from China early on. It comes with the U.S. having seen record daily highs in recorded COVID-19 cases in recent days, with the total figure topping 8.6 million so far with more than 225,000 deaths. “I couldn’t be more proud of this president’s leadership,” Pence said, while discussing the president’s response to the crisis on Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin....

Pence stayed, controversially, at President Donald Trump’s Doonbeg golf resort on the west coast of Ireland, flying to Dublin on the opposite coast for his official meetings before returning to the town in County Clare, an ancestral home of his family. Irish Times writer Miriam Lord mocked Pence’s “misty-eyed” references to the “old country” as he “lards on his Mother Machree schtick on both sides of the Atlantic,” before kicking Ireland’s President Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar “where it hurts”—on Brexit....

Pompeo spoke to Bloomberg TV’s The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations about his time at the State Department and acknowledged that there would be a new secretary of state. Rubenstein asked Pompeo whether he believed the world was safer now than before he arrived at the department. Pompeo then took the opportunity to say the administration was leaving office. “I think we are leaving—after four years, I think we’re leaving the world safer than when we came in,” Pompeo said, according to transcript released by the State Department on Monday....

Although it would seem playing bad teams would be good news for a team as successful recently as the Steelers, it is one of two departments in which they’ve consistently been deficient. (The other is anything to do with the Patriots.) Pittsburgh is chasing its fourth consecutive playoff berth, and sixth this decade, despite a persistent, nagging struggle to deal with broken opponents. In their past 17 games on the road against opponents with sub-....
