Firedman rejected accusations of Trump's final pre-election ad, which the Huffington Post accused of being rife with "anti-Semitic overtones" because it shows images of Jewish business figures when it assails what Trump calls the Washington establishment's ties with "global special interests." The Jewish figures portra... |
"Lloyd Blankfein is being criticized because he runs a bank that has extraordinarily close ties to Hillary Clinton and has paid her almost $1 million to give speeches that Hillary Clinton tried to keep secret," he said. "He criticized Janet Yellen because he has been critical of how the Federal Reserve monitors the U.S... |
Friedman said most people don't know George Soros is Jewish, either. "He doesn’t have a Jewish name. He’s done nothing to positively identify with the Jewish community at any point in his life," he noted. "Soros has done more to vilify the state of Israel and to fund anti-Israel propaganda machines than almost any indi... |
The Lions left on schedule Thursday morning for Regina and their pre-season opener against the Riders, where they will be no doubt thrilled to discover it is forecast to rain right up until around kickoff Friday. |
Ask him to pick a team to save everyone the trouble and of course you won’t get an answer mind you, because that’s just Wally being Wally. The point here is that pre-season games for the Lions coach appear to be more about validation than evaluation. |
Is Stefan Logan capable of making a contribution as a running back in addition to special teams? Logan made the team in the eyes of the coaches the first week. What he needs to do, of course, is do the same thing in an actual game. |
Is Reggie Myles good enough to play the sixth defensive back in the secondary as it might appear to this point in camp? Or will it be James Bethea. Tomorrow’s game is all about that and more. |
Anyways, in case you missed them, here are the veteran scratches and injuries where applicable: DB Jerome Dennis (ankle), DLs Brent Johnson, Cameron Wake, Matt Kirk, Tyrone Williams (knee); LBs Otis Floyd, Jay Pottinger (calf); OL Sherko Haji-Rasouli, TB Joe Smith, SB Geroy Simon, K/P Paul McCallum. |
And in the absence of anything else meaningful to pass along until kickoff tomorrow (plus the fact we’ll be listening to Team 1040 like most everyone else effected or interested), we’ve dug up a little scenesetter on the popularity of the Riders in Saskatchewan since their Grey Cup win which appeared this week in the R... |
Millions of New Yorkers can't resist the lure of a huge payout from scratch tickets, even though the odds are stacked against them. |
We asked statistician Matt Briggs to calculate the expected payout for every ticket in the state. |
Not surprisingly, every one is a ripoff. |
"The payout structure, the probability and expected rate of return—not much changes," said Briggs. "They just change the shape of the card and the glitz, but the underlying mechanics stay the same." |

On Saturday, reporters asked Trump during an event at his golf club in New Jersey if he felt betrayed by Manigault Newman. He responded: "Lowlife. She's a lowlife." |
The Associated Press purchased a copy of the book ahead of its release. In the book, Manigault Newman claims without evidence that tapes exist of Trump using the N-word repeatedly on the reality show's set. She acknowledges she had never been able to obtain or hear the tapes but said three unnamed sources had described... |
She alleges that Trump has exhibited signs of a "mental decline that could not be denied" and says she went as far as printing out a study linking Diet Coke consumption to dementia and strokes and putting it in his briefing stack. She also described him as a man who "loved conflict, chaos and confusion; he loved seeing... |
Manigault Newman also alleges that Trump allies tried to buy her silence after she left the White House, offering her $15,000 a month to serve in a "senior position" on his 2020 re-election campaign along with a stringent nondisclosure agreement. She says when she turned down the offer, she received letters from Trump'... |

Gallup is out with its Confidence in Institutions Index, and the military leads the way. |
Americans continue to express greater confidence in the military than in 15 other national institutions, with 78% saying they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in it. In addition to the military, a majority of Americans express high esteem for small business and the police. Congress ranks last among th... |
Pulling up the rear is Congress, with an abysmal 12% in the "Great Deal/Quite a lot" category. Is it any wonder? |
Congratulations to the U.S. Military for dominating the Confidence Index for years. |

The mashup of personal assistant and predictive search known as Google Now gets approved for iOS. But will it take attention away from Siri? |
Now playing: Watch this: For Google, the future is "Now" |
Google's predictive search and voice recognition tool sauntered over to Apple's iOS as an app on Monday. |
Having debuted at last year's Google I/O conference, the Now-enabled Google Search 3.0 for iOS brings the same robust search features and visual style, called cards, to iPhones and iPads. Tamar Yehoshua, Google Search's director of product management, said that Google Now will compete well against Apple's personal assi... |
"We think we've built a great experience," she said during a conversation at Google's headquarters in Mountain View last week. "We're giving you an answer before you've even asked," she explained. Google is "able to predict knowledge that you want before you know you want it." |
Google Now does that by taking advantage of several different technological areas. It leverages, according to Yehoshua, the text-to-speech output, the Knowledge Graph, and the technology stack to provide its voice recognition and predictive search combo. |
Unlike Google Now on Android, which you can start using as long as your device is running Android 4.1 or later, the Google Now app on iOS will require you to log in to your Google account first. But the defining features of Google Now, the voice recognition and the predictive search, remain intact. |
The predictive search in Google Now will use your calendar, for example, to determine what information it should show you. That info can change depending on where you're going, so it might show you traffic on your route home, or tourist sites near your hotel. |
Google Now's Voice Recognition has made some significant improvements, Yehoshua said, since it debuted last spring. "We've seen a 15 to 35 percent improvement since Jelly Bean [Android 4.1]," said Vincent Vanhoucke, Android Uber Tech Lead. |
Search, she said, is continually growing. "People got used to using keywords to search because they had to, but it's not the best way to search. We have implemented just the beginning phases of context and conversation," she said, such as following a question like "How tall is Barack Obama?" with "And how tall is his w... |
And an even more complex scenario she posited as a future goal for Google Now would be to follow "What happened in the Giants game?" with "Who's pitching? When are the playing tomorrow?" and the tricky integration of other digital services that could conclude with "Record the game for me." |
Yehoshua declined to comment when asked about Google's plans to port Google Now to other platforms, such as Chrome. But it's becoming apparent that the service is big deal for Google, as evidenced by the attention that co-founder and CEO Larry Page paid Google Now during last week's quarterly earnings call. |
The goal of Google Now, he said, "is to get you the right information, at just the right time." He noted the key features of the service, including that it provides people with their boarding passes and delivery updates as well as traffic conditions, local sports scores, and upcoming weather conditions without promptin... |
"Looking for the nearest pharmacy? Just ask Google for directions, and we'll deliver them instantly," Page said. "No typing needed. And you can now ask conversational questions like 'Do I need a jacket this weekend?'" |
While it's clear that Google Now is growing in its important to Google, especially as a strong customer-facing tool for its Knowledge Graph, it's less obvious how many people with iPhones will abandon Siri and its automatic start features in order to jump into Google's competing app. |
Corrections, April 29 at 5:25 p.m. PT: This story originally misidentified Tamar Yehoshua. She is the director of product management for Google Search. The quote about improvements in Google Now's Voice Recognition was misattributed. The correct speaker is Vincent Vanhoucke. |
Style-wise, there's very little that distinguishes the ZT60 from the lower-priced VT60 other than a slight variation in the silver trim that surrounds the 1080p panel (the ZT60's upper trim is a bit more pronounced). |
Both use a sleek bezel-less edge-to-edge glass design and both include a heavy brushed silver-finished metal stand with a V-shaped mounting bracket (though you can use an optional wall-mounting kit as well). |
The right side of the cabinet holds Power, Volume Up/Down, Channel Up/Down, and Input buttons (pressing and holding the Input button launches the on-screen menu). |
As with the VT60 you only get three HDMI ports, which are on the left side and are joined by three USB ports, an SD card slot, and a digital audio output, all of which face outward. |
On the back of the cabinet, facing downward, are a set of shared component/composite A/V ports, a LAN port, and an antenna/cable connector. |
You get two remotes with the ZT60: a standard 9-inch, 43-button wand and a smaller 4.5-inch touchpad remote. The wand offers all the usual color-coded, playback control, and number buttons, along with Apps, Home, and 3D buttons. It also has a dedicated Netflix button and an eHelp button that launches a helpful online u... |
The touchpad remote only has a handful of buttons, but they control Volume, Channel, and Power, and can access both Web apps and the Home menu. It also has a microphone that lets you search for movies, TV shows, and other content using voice commands. |
