The online poll collected responses from 495 K-12 teachers and 2,634 other adults, with a 9-point margin of error among the teacher respondents and a 4-point margin of error among the others. Only 14 percent of K-12 teachers said they thought the pandemic situation was worsening during a similar poll conducted in May. But the latest Gallup poll said that number ticked up to 64 percent in July after most states began reporting increases in new cases, with heavily populated states like Texas, California and Florida emerging as virus hot spots....

According to the Tulsa Police Department, the mother was identified as 33-year-old Desiree Castaneda. The Tulsa Police Department said in a Facebook post that investigators discovered that Castaneda was aware of her 12-year-old daughter’s relationship with a 24-year-old man and the baby the two had together. “The family permitted the relationship, and there are photos of the family throwing a baby shower for the victim and the suspect,” the Tulsa Police Department said in the Facebook post....

The daughter-in-law, posting on the U.K.-based site under the handle Wafflerthewonderdog, explained that she and her husband “live abroad” and the twentysomething couple—her husband’s niece and boyfriend—wanted to stay at their home for a week. The mother-in-law is said to have told her: “They just really need a relaxing, chilled holiday … at your house.” Both the niece and her boyfriend live with their parents and “are stressed as they keep changing jobs,” the original poster added....

The parent, Heidi Anderson, said her children “are not subject” to complying with mitigation procedures because they are Christians during a Board of Education meeting in Elmbrook, near Milwaukee, on Tuesday night. At the end of the meeting, board members decided students within the Elmbrook School District must wear face coverings and maintain six feet distance between one another while attending classes this fall. Earlier, the board heard statements from community members about whether they felt Elmbrook schools should reopen, and what reopening should look like if they supported a plan to do so....

The mountain lion smashed through a glass door at the home of Ted Adams in a bid to snatch Buddy, a dog belonging to his sister, Lee Larsen White, who had come to visit, Noozhawk reported. Buddy had been barking downstairs at around 8.30 p.m. local time, but no one could work out why. “Right about that minute, we heard a tremendous crash,” Adams told the website. “The French door down there was just completely smashed open, and there’s a gaping hole there....

United qualified for the Europa League final by drawing 1-1 with Celta Vigo on Thursday, and a victory over Ajax on May 24 would see the club return to the Champions League. Mourinho thanks ref for Herrera red card But while Mourinho says he understands why people might claim a failure to win the competition might taint the whole campaign, he insists that he has never put in so much effort to try to succeed than he has this season....

Pogba injury Man Utd’s latest problem United’s involvement in both the FA Cup and Europa League as well as the Premier League has seen them play three times in the last seven days, with the clash against managerless Boro coming up at 12:00 GMT on Sunday. The Red Devils are likely to be without both Paul Pogba and Daley Blind, who both picked up injuries in Thursday’s win over Rostov, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ander Herrera are suspended....

Romelu Lukaku had the chance to give United the lead shortly before half-time after David de Gea stunningly denied Joel Matip in the first half. 3/1 for Arsenal and Watford to draw But United, who headed into the match with 21 goals in seven Premier League outings this season, failed to function as any kind of attacking force after the interval, while Liverpool were frustrated by the disciplined defensive ranks before them....

Mourinho hauled Shaw off at half-time during United’s FA Cup win over Brighton and Hove Albion before the international break, before delivering some stinging criticism of him after the game. Shaw’s “personality” and “class” were questioned by Mourinho, who also said his left-back did not perform “certain kind of movements” he had requested. It was the latest instance of Mourinho appearing to single out Shaw, whose contract is up at the end of the season....

The England captain was sidelined for United’s 3-1 triumph over ex-boss David Moyes’ Black Cats at Old Trafford, where goals from Daley Blind, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan made it four Premier League victories in a row. And manager Mourinho conceded it was unlikely the 31-year-old - who is one shy of equalling Bobby Charlton’s all-time record of 249 goals for United - would be fit to face Boro on Saturday....

Though the movie is perhaps 15 minutes too long for its own good, it wouldn’t be easy to cut: every joke discreetly planted early pays off later in the movie. The inventiveness of the script and Wright’s well-judged comic timing makes the lazy, hit-or-miss “Blades of Glory” look sloppy indeed. From big roles to bit parts, “Hot Fuzz” is stocked with such formidable British firepower as Timothy Dalton, Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy, Paddy Considine and Jim Broadbent, each capable of wresting chuckles where no one else could find them....

Most fans, though, are just planning to head to the theater in style. “I’ve always identified with Carrie,” says Rozy Lewis, a Manhattan party planner who’s leaning toward a ball gown-and-cardigan ensemble for the premiere. By dressing up, women may be hoping to capture the myth’s magic—like men dressing as Yoda to see “Star Wars.” But before you laugh at the attack of the Carrie clones, consider this: at least the ladies look good in their outfits....

Andre Gray scored a first Premier League hat-trick and Ashley Barnes also found the net from the penalty spot for Burnley, who moved nine points clear of third-bottom Sunderland. Fabregas sets Premier League record Jermain Defoe did net a consolation for Sunderland, but Moyes was goaded with chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” from the home fans and also lost Lamine Kone and Victor Anichebe to first-half injuries....

The Glazer family has decided to dismiss the Scot just 11 months after he was appointed Sir Alex Ferguson's successor. A United spokesperson has denied that Moyes has already been sacked, but Goal UK can report that his departure is "imminent". He is not expected to be in the dugout when United plays Norwich City at Old Trafford on Saturday. Player-coach Ryan Giggs is expected to be placed in charge of the team until the end of the season, with the other members of the backroom team that Moyes brought with him from Everton — Steve Round, Phil Neville and Jimmy Lumsden — also set to leave the club....

Has Assad changed? Hardly. As he said in the interview, he has long supported a settlement with Israel-on his terms. What has changed most is his relationship with Washington; clearly, he thinks Bush and Secretary of State James Baker are more evenhanded in their approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict than any of their recent predecessors. Logic, not the kind of “love” the United States has shown Israel, should rule the peace process, Assad said....

An Army study shows that MREs reduce the number of frequent bowel movements. In other words, as soldiers look out for No. 1 while on duty, they find it harder to go No. 2. The report published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry states that a group of 60 people—a combination of military and civilians—participated in the study over a 21-day period. Part of the group chowed down on MREs two to three times a day, while the remaining participants continued their normal diets....

So it gives me no pleasure at all to report that “LB2” is a stinker. Invoking the memory of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” (ill-advisedly, as it turns out), the film sends Elle off to the Capitol in a new pink suit and a newfound froth of political fervor over animal rights. (Her search for her pet Chihuahua Bruiser’s biological parents–huh?–had led her to a cosmetics factory where Bruiser’s mom was being cruelly used as a guinea pig....
