Footage shows Mack Miller being forcibly removed by two security guards from a meeting of the Clark County Commission in Las Vegas, where misinformation about the virus was declared a public health crisis. Multiple videos shared on social media show the security officers ejecting Miller and bringing him through a metal detector that shakes and then almost falls to the ground as a result of the struggle. One video posted to YouTube and apparently filmed by Miller himself inside the commission chambers showed him telling security guards not to shove him, before later claiming they had done just that....

Why Jurgen Klinsmann’s job should be in jeopardy The 25-year-old began the season as the Rapids’ starter, but his time in that position began to tick down when, early in the MLS season, Colorado announced the U.S. international would arrive from Everton at midseason. Howard’s arrival in July did push MacMath, who had performed well as Colorado’s starter, into the backup spot. Four months later though, and the Rapids are improbably into the Western Conference final — and MacMath, improbably, is back in the starting role....

West Monroe police arrested Ricky Taylor, 64, on Tuesday outside a Walmart Supercenter on three charges: aggravated assault with a motor vehicle on an officer, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. According to an arrest report, Taylor became “unruly” after off-duty officer Greg Moorhead had requested that Taylor wear a face mask while shopping in the Walmart — now a legally-mandated policy across the state. Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards ordered a statewide mask requirement on July 11 in an effort to help mitigate the spread of coronavirus....

The man’s body has not yet been found, and his name was not publicly disclosed in a report released by the local sheriff’s office. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office said the victim’s wife contacted its office at approximately noon on Monday. She told deputies she was inside her residence when she heard a commotion. After going outside, she said she witnessed a large alligator attacking her husband. Her husband had been outside walking in floodwaters caused by the hurricane near the couple’s home in the Avery Estates neighborhood of Slidell, a city located on the northeast shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana’s St....

Ida may curtail U.S. economic growth in the quarter from July to September, but some of the economic damage is projected to be offset by repairs and rebuilding endeavors, AP reported. While the hurricane forced oil refineries in Louisiana and Mississippi to close down and left more than 1 million businesses and homes without electricity, unemployment applications decreased in Mississippi. The spreading Delta variant of COVID-19 may have also contributed to job losses and a resulting nationwide uptick in people seeking unemployment aid, AP reported....

Louisiana is projected to approve Amendment 1, with 62.1 percent voting for and 37.9 percent against. The amendment allows Louisiana to update its Declaration of Rights to state that it should not be interpreted to secure, protect, or fund abortion. Similar constitutional amendments have been passed in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama in recent years. The result comes five months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that would have restricted access to abortions in the state....

Nadjha Day, who recently joined the islanders, was coupled with Jeff before Casa Amor. She initially wanted to be with Isaiah, but Jeff picked her in last week’s recoupling round. At the time, she was seen crying over Isaiah but admitted that she was attracted to Jeff. In the Casa Amor segment, Nadjha connected with Nic and brought him back to the villa. But her feelings towards Nic changed when she saw Jeff returning to the villa solo....

While the Rams expect about 80,000 fans for Saturday’s training camp scrimmage at the Los Angeles Coliseum, low ticket sales caused the cancelation of the “Legends” event scheduled for Aug. 14 at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. MORE: Which new NFL coach took the most difficult job?

How to Do the Lower Back Curve Awareness Exercise One very important thing you can do to increase your postural awareness in the area is to become aware of your low back curve. Here’s how: Sit on a firm chair or stool. Place yourself so that your weight is planted into the seat in a balanced way. A more challenging position for this exercise is standing against a wall.

The Tigers make their first appearance in the CFP since the playoff was first introduced in 2014, while the Sooners return for a fourth time hoping to clinch their maiden appearance in the national title game. Oklahoma has been among the four teams selected in three of the last four seasons but has never made it past the semifinals, losing to Clemson in 2015, Georgia in 2017 and Alabama a year ago....

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Luis Enrique is set to leave a mixed legacy when he departs Barcelona but the coach can go out on a high by lifting a third consecutive King’s Cup when his side meet Alaves in Saturday’s final in Madrid. The former Barca midfielder enjoyed a dream start to life in the Nou Camp dugout, winning the treble in his first season and a league and cup double in his second....

Both sides know each other well from their encounter in last year’s tournament. The Blues got the better of Los Blancos on that occasion in a tense semi-final, with an aggregate score of 3-1. The quarter-final pairing between the two sides this time around is hard to predict, as both teams have recently suffered big losses in their respective leagues. Real Madrid conceded a devastating 4-0 defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga on March 20....

Last year’s Rookie of the Year notched his ninth career triple-double with 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. No player in NBA history has recorded more career triple-doubles before age 21. Doncic and the Mavericks trailed by 14 at the end of the first quarter, but he piled it on in the final three and sank some tough shots en route to the win. Kristaps Porzingis also had a strong showing for Dallas with 24 points and an impressive five blocks....

Man City favoured to win Premier League Lukaku arrived from Everton in a deal reportedly worth £75million, having scored 25 Premier League goals last season and 53 in total after leaving Chelsea in 2014. The Belgium striker has already netted twice on the pre-season tour of the United States — scoring against Real Salt Lake and Manchester City. However, the 24-year-old said he still has room for improvement as he tries to reach the level of four-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, who scored more than 100 goals as he claimed three Premier League titles and the Champions League during his six seasons at United....

Belgium striker Lukaku came into the fixture against the Blues with 21 goals in all competitions; but not one was netted in 10 previous matches against the top eight teams in the Premier League. Such a barren run has led to criticism of the former Everton man, but manager Jose Mourinho kept faith in his centre-forward and was rewarded on Sunday with a vital strike. Lukaku latched onto a neat flick from Anthony Martial in the 39th minute to cancel out Willian’s powerful opener and send the sides in for half-time level at 1-1....

He recently admitted that it was not Mourinho, and it was his choice rather, to leave Chelsea on loan as he did not see a prospect of starting for Chelsea. He told telegraph.co.uk : “I was already tough, but I had to have more self-confidence. I knew the only way to get that was by playing and scoring goals. That was why I had to leave Chelsea.” “I did not know if I would be playing for Chelsea so I asked the manager to let me leave....
