For more than a year, the conversation about cleanliness and health in schools has centered around COVID-19. Yet there are other environmental issues that must be solved if we’re to take seriously the health of children, teachers, bus drivers and administrators: And that’s diesel school buses. These buses are literally filled with carcinogens while children ride them. They send plumes of pollutants into neighborhoods and schoolyards while they sit idle....

The dad, Ed’s, creation was shared on Twitter by his daughter, Julianna Astrid (@juliannastrid) as a Father’s Day tribute. It’s more than just the creation that makes Ed a special father though, Julianna told Newsweek. “I’ve grown up watching my dad build amazing things around our house and for other people, he is truly an extraordinary builder,” she said via direct message. “He has always had a love for coffee and cozy spots and recently decided to fuel that love into something for his own backyard where the family and our guests can sit back, lounge and bond....

There were a few modest additions: CBS’s “The Guardian,” the WB’s “Smallville,” Fox’s “Bernie Mac.” But none of them has created the big-ratings buzz that “C.S.I.” or “The West Wing” or “Malcolm in the Middle” generated in their debut years. In fact, looking back over the biggest TV moments of 2001, it’s amazing how many of them revolve around the destruction of something big, rather than the creation of it....

Because if we can take anything away from Auburn’s unreal and unthinkable — and basically, stolen — victory over Georgia, it’s this: Auburn can’t beat Alabama. The Auburn team that jumped to a 27-7 lead over Georgia and looked unbeatable could. The Tigers team that finished the game and needed the best play in the history of plays to somehow win a game it had no business winning, can not....

However, with Italy’s delicious cuisine comes a set of rules and a sense of pride, which one woman learned the hard way when she innocently broke up uncooked spaghetti in front of her Italian fiancé to make it easier to boil. In footage posted on TikTok by the account Carloandsarah, Sarah, who is American, can be seen hovering over the hob holding spaghetti. When her fiancé, whose name is Carlo, instructs her to add a bit more to the pan she then breaks a chunk of the pasta in half....

Although the virus first emerged late last year in Wuhan, China, a mutation that emerged in Italy in February is now “the most prevalent form in the global pandemic,” according to an article published by the peer-reviewed science journal Cell on Thursday. The article’s authors noted that the strain, called G614, may have a “fitness advantage” over the original Chinese strain, known as D614. This could have helped the new strain become dominant where both varieties of the virus existed....

While renowned for its distinctive fragrance, the use of rosemary in the spaghetti alle vongole, or spaghetti with clams, was too much for two couples having lunch at the Bora Bora Beach chalet in Porto Recanati, located in the Macerata province, in Italy’s central Marche region. The owner, Mauro Monachesi, said that tensions flared at his seaside restaurant on Sunday when the couples, who were from Spoleto, Umbria, expressed their disgust at the use of the herb in the traditional Italian dish....

Balotelli - who has not featured for Italy since the 2014 World Cup - was touted for a recall after scoring 14 Ligue 1 goals for Nice this season. But Di Biagio turned to AC Milan’s Patrick Cutrone and Fiorentina forward Federico Chiesa - son of Enrico - for March friendlies against Argentina and England. Italy failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, surprisingly losing a play-off against Sweden, and Balotelli’s agent Raiola called for the country’s football system to be revamped....

Nibali all but ensured he will be crowned Tour champion for the first time thanks to winning the last mountain stage on Thursday. But a desire to leave nothing to chance, even with the biggest overall lead in 17 years, saw him push himself in the individual time trial for fourth place behind winner and German speedster Tony Martin. In doing so, the rider they call “The Shark” padded his overall lead on Stage 20 by more than 40 seconds to nearly eight minutes....

Even the RIAA admits that the lawsuits are a short-term measure to discourage otherwise law-abiding folk from sharing tunes with a few million people on Kazaa. Long-term, the strategy is supposedly moving the wired masses to legal services like iTunes, where the industry gets its cut. But while Jobs and other purveyors of online music are working hard to lure customers, the music industry’s actions betray a persistent mistrust of the technology that will ultimately be the pillar of its business–or the end of it....

Known for hit movies like Ghostbusters and National Lampoon’s Animal House, the Canadian director and producer Reitman died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday night at his home in Montecito, California, his family has confirmed. “Our family is grieving the unexpected loss of a husband, father, and grandfather who taught us to always seek the magic in life,” children Jason Reitman, Catherine Reitman and Caroline Reitman said in a joint statement to AP....

The public still loves one Trump–and it’s not “the Donald.” Since their much-publicized breakup four months ago Ivana Trump has been elevated to the status of good-wife-dumped-by-the-man-she-loves. Fan mail from supporters pours in daily at The Plaza, which Ivana now runs. Friends in New York society continue to rally behind her. Gossip columnist Liz Smith has all but become Ivana’s spokesperson, referring to the hotel; queen’s husband as “old what’s-his- name....

The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner found that Trump, the 73-year-old ex-wife of former President Donald Trump and the mother of three of his children, died due to “blunt impact injuries of torso” sustained during an accidental fall at her Manhattan home on Thursday, according to a statement obtained by Newsweek. Emergency workers found Ivana Trump dead at her home at around 12:40 p.m. Thursday following a report of cardiac arrest....

Ivanka Trump, former President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, who served as a White House adviser, testified before the House committee, of which Cheney is the vice chair, on Tuesday. Cheney has become one of Trump’s staunchest critics since the violence of January 6, 2021. The GOP congresswoman joined nine other House Republicans in voting to impeach the former president for inciting the attack against the federal legislative branch of government....

Iwobi is the kind of player every supporter dreams about having in their team – a youth product who has grown up with the values of the club and forged a place for himself in the senior squad. The youngster’s first season at Emirates Stadium in 2015-16 surpassed all expectations, as he made 21 appearances at home and in Europe whilst still a teenager. Still just 21, he’s never been fazed by the occasion whether it be playing away to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena or scoring a goal on his first full Premier League start against Everton....

Los Angeles Clippers J.J. Redick, initially expected to miss 6-8 weeks, could be back sooner than expected, according to ESPNLosAngeles.com (via ProBasketballTalk). Out since Nov. 29, Redick is targeting a Jan. 15 comeback, ESPNLosAngels reports. The Clippers certainly will welcome his outside shooting, as Redick had gotten off to a hot start before going down with injury. Redick was traded to the Clippers in the offseason and kicked off his stay in Los Angeles by averaging 15....

Gronk was the only tight end to receive a vote. Watt was a unanimous selection in a different way. He received 50 votes, but 45 votes were for defensive end while five were for defensive tackle.

The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year admitted as much in his introductory news conference with the Cardinals on Monday. Watt said he took great pains to make sure he controlled the narrative of his free agency, the first of his 10-year career. “The whole process, like I said earlier, we kept it very quiet on our side,” Watt said. “Everything. From who was involved to what was involved, to everything....

Why is that notable? A couple of reasons. One, it’s by far and away the highest mark of Morant’s young career, up from 10.7 in his rookie season and 10.6 in his sophomore season. Two, it’s the third-highest mark in the entire league this season, trailing only a pair of 7-footers in Giannis Antetokounmpo (15.6) and Nikola Jokic (15.3). Need you be reminded, Morant is listed at 6-foot-3 and 174 pounds....
