Today is Friday, Aug. 2, the 215th day of 2024. There are 151 days left in the year.

Today in history:

On August 2, 1921, a jury in Chicago acquitted several former members of the Chicago White Sox baseball team and two others of conspiring to defraud the public in the notorious “Black Sox” scandal (though they would be banned from Major League Baseball for life by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis).

Also on this date:

In 1776, members of the Second Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence.

In 1790, the first United States Census was conducted under the supervision of Thomas Jefferson; a total of 3,929,214 U.S. residents were counted.

In 1873, inventor Andrew S. Hallidie (HAH’-lih-day) successfully tested a cable car he had designed for the city of San Francisco.

In 1876, frontiersman “Wild Bill” Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged.

On Aug. 2, 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco; Vice President Calvin Coolidge became president.

In 1934, German President Paul von Hindenburg died, paving the way for Adolf Hitler’s complete takeover.

In 1939, Albert Einstein signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging creation of an atomic weapons research program.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman, Soviet leader Josef Stalin and Britain’s new prime minister, Clement Attlee, concluded the Potsdam conference.

In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate cover-up. (Dean ended up serving four months.)

In 1985, 137 people were killed when Delta Air Lines Flight 191, a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oil-rich emirate. (The Iraqis were later driven out by the U.S. in Operation Desert Storm.)

In 2018, Pope Francis decreed that the death penalty is “inadmissible” under all circumstances and the Catholic Church should campaign to abolish it.

Inspection of vulnerable children's home find that children 'suffered harm'  The Westmorland Gazette

General Daily Insight for August 02, 2024

Excitement is on the menu throughout the day. As passionate Venus squares wild Uranus at 9:27 am EDT, we might be tempted to abandon boring plans in favor of unexpected opportunities to pursue pleasure. That said, while the sensitive Cancer Moon engages with responsible Saturn and touchy Chiron, decisions of this sort aren’t guaranteed to be universally popular — some could interpret cancellation as a personal rejection. We should treat others how we would want to be treated, even if we think they’re being unreasonable.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

A financial decision you make could appear risky today. While abundant Venus in your speculative 5th house squares impulsive Uranus in your 2nd House of Resources, you may be hoping for a big win to pull you out of a rut. True, your insecurities might play a part in fueling this approach. However, your strategy is potentially more logical than it looks at first glance. As you move forward, make sure that you give the unfolding facts precedence over your original hopes.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

You may be aware that relying on your loved ones makes your current life easier in certain ways. However, as peacekeeper Venus in your nurturing 4th house clashes with independent Uranus in your sign, you could be drawn to do something that disturbs this equilibrium. Your inner longings aren’t necessarily intended as an attack on anyone else, but they can still be inconvenient for others. Friends you’re less intimately involved with might be able to give you some stability while you figure things out.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

An exciting conversation could seem to develop a mind of its own at any moment. When fun-loving Venus in your communication zone provokes disruptive Uranus in your 12th House of Secrets, a piece of private information might abruptly slip out of you while you’re enjoying the atmosphere. Such a disclosure may have social costs for you! Still, perhaps it’s what you need to move forward in some way. Don’t spend too much time second-guessing yourself — anything that’s true can’t necessarily hide forever.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Your friends could seem daring and edgy today. Perhaps a sense of pressure to keep up with them is weighing on you. Letting others guide you on an adventure you wouldn’t otherwise have taken can sometimes be rewarding. That said, going along with someone else’s plan because you feel like you don’t have the freedom to choose your path has the potential to breed resentment. You’re allowed to have values and financial priorities that differ from those of the people around you!

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You may currently consider it a high priority to have people think well of you. On the other hand, maybe you are definitively doing something disruptive. As approval-seeking Venus in your sign conflicts with revolutionary Uranus in your ambitious 10th house, you might not be able to have it both ways. Even good and necessary changes aren’t always popular when they first happen. Acting with more discretion could reduce some of the tension you’re dealing with, but eliminating discomfort entirely probably isn’t possible.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Going on a big adventure might now seem obligatory. Maybe you would actually be more comfortable resting quietly, though. As relaxed Venus in your contemplative 12th house challenges chaotic Uranus in your travel sector, you’ll have to think critically about any offer that comes your way. An opportunity isn’t a mandate — it’s just a possibility. The companions who are truly right for you should be able to live with whatever you decide, so don’t worry too much about their judgment.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Shaking up the established boundaries of a friendship could be more stressful than you realize. As the impressionable Moon in your career-oriented 10th house aligns with practical Saturn in your 6th House of Work, perhaps you’ve recently decided to step back and turn a personal connection professional. A colleague is different from a buddy, and you’ll both need to acknowledge that. Focus on what’s necessary here and now instead of trying to stick with a dynamic that worked between you in the past.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Professional progress is presently possible for you. That being said, as fortunate Venus in your 10th House of Career rattles uncomfortable Uranus in your partnership realm, even a generally positive change might cause a disturbance in one of your close relationships. You may need to spend some time rearranging the way you share day-to-day responsibilities with this person. The best outcome could require you to question your beliefs about the way the world is supposed to work. Stay focused on results.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Liberating yourself from your responsibilities to do something fun could be necessary now. Of course, you probably won’t be able to transcend reality entirely. You may need to work things out with someone at home. Fortunately, while the compassionate Moon in your sharing sector harmonizes with logical Saturn in your domestic 4th house, you’ve got a chance to do so as rationally as possible. You might not get exactly everything you want, but don’t let impossible perfection block you from achieving anything at all.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Pleasure shared has the potential to become pleasure amplified at present. Sometimes it’s a risk to let others know what you really enjoy — a harsh or dismissive reaction might dampen the delight you experience with the pursuit going forward. As the perceptive Moon in your partnership zone supports reserved Saturn in your communication sector, you may want to start small when you open a conversation on the topic. If your companion seems interested, feel free to offer more information at that point!

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

A developing relationship could be exciting for you at this time. However, you might realize that you can’t count on things to unfold in a predictable way. As appealing Venus in your partnership sector tests unchained Uranus in your security zone, you may need to decide whether the potential rewards of pursuing this connection are worth any associated risks. Don’t use cutting comments to manipulate the other person into doing what’s most convenient for you — simply make a stand based on your values.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Errands could be a lot of fun today, although you might have to allow yourself extra time to complete them. While mellow Venus in your responsible 6th house engages with curious Uranus in your 3rd House of Short Trips, you’ll likely come across eye-catching attractions that encourage you to stop for a closer look. On the other hand, impulsively spending too far beyond the limits of your budget invites the risk of buyer’s remorse. You’re allowed to like something without visiting its gift shop!

ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Riley and Matt Olson hit first-inning home runs, Orlando Arcia added a shot in the third and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Thursday night.

The Braves have won five of their last six games.

Charlie Morton (6-6) allowed just one run on five hits in six innings. He had six strikeouts and two walks. Morton allowed the leadoff batter to reach five times in six innings, but kept the Marlins off the scoreboard with the exception of an unearned run in the fifth.

Marcell Ozuna was 2 for 4 with a run, and Olson was 1 for 4 with two RBIs. Leadoff man Jorge Soler was 0 for 3 with a walk in his first home appearance after rejoining the Braves on Tuesday after a trade with the Giants. Soler was the MVP of the 2021 World Series for Atlanta.

Braves closer Raisel Iglesias picked up his 23rd save after A.J. Minter pitched a perfect eighth.

Jake Burger was 2 for 3 with an RBI for the Marlins.

Newly acquired Luke Jackson came on for the Braves with two on in the seventh inning. He gave up a run-scoring single to Burger but ended the inning by getting Jesús Sánchez to ground out.

The Braves jumped on Marlins rookie Max Meyer (2-1) early. Riley lifted a home run into the right field seats with one out in the first. Ozuna followed with a walk and then Olson hit another home run to right field, with this one traveling 374 feet. It was Olson’s fifth home run in six games and 18th of the season.

Meyer went five innings, giving up four runs, seven hits and a walk while striking out seven.

“I was impressed with how he bounced back,” Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. “A young pitcher, that could have easily gone sideways and not gotten through the first inning. He was good in the next four innings. He had a tough first inning, but it shows a good mentality and to get through five was pretty impressive today.”

Arcia’s blast came in the third inning and gave him a career-best 12-game hitting streak.

The Braves are 16-4 in their last 20 home games against the Marlins and 4-0 this season.

UP NEXT

Braves rookie RHP Spencer Schwellenbach (4-5, 4.06) carries an eight-inning scoreless streak into Game 2 of the four-game series Friday. The Marlins have yet to announce a starter.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal judge has overturned a jury’s $4.7 billion verdict in the class-action lawsuit filed by “Sunday Ticket” subscribers against the NFL and has granted judgment to the NFL.

U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled Thursday that the testimony of two witnesses for the subscribers had flawed methodologies and should have been excluded.

“Without the testimonies of Dr. (Daniel) Rascher and Dr. (John) Zona, no reasonable jury could have found class-wide injury or damages,” Gutierrez wrote at the end of his 16-page ruling.

The jury on June 27 awarded $4.7 billion in damages to residential and commercial subscribers after it ruled the NFL violated antitrust laws in distributing out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on a premium subscription service.

The lawsuit covered 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses in the United States who paid for the package on DirecTV of out-of-market games from the 2011 through 2022 seasons.

The jury of five men and three women found the NFL liable for $4,610,331,671.74 in damages to the residential class (home subscribers) and $96,928,272.90 in damages to the commercial class (business subscribers).

Since damages can be tripled under federal antitrust laws, the NFL could have been liable for $14,121,779,833.92.

It is not the first time the NFL has won a judgment as matter of law in this case, which has been going on since 2015.

In 2017, U.S. District Judge Beverly Reid O’Connell dismissed the lawsuit and ruled for the NFL because she said “Sunday Ticket” did not reduce output of NFL games and that even though DirecTV might have charged inflated prices, that did not “on its own, constitute harm to competition” because it had to negotiate with the NFL to carry the package.

Two years later, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the case.

It is likely the plaintiffs will again appeal to the 9th Circuit.

After a mother and daughter were killed in a car crash in Boynton Beach on Tuesday night, a 23-year-old man has been arrested and multiple West Palm Beach Police officers are under investigation.

Neoni Copeland was speeding in a silver Kia Stinger south on North Congress Avenue in Boynton Beach shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday and crashed into a blue Toyota Corolla at the intersection of Meadows Boulevard while the driver tried to turn left, Boynton Beach Police said in a news release Thursday evening.

Copeland, the driver of the Kia, had fled from West Palm Beach Police officers “a short time before the crash,” Boynton Beach Police said. Neither Boynton Beach Police nor West Palm Beach Police have released information about what preceded the crash.

A sergeant who responded to the scene saw Jenice Woods, 27, and Marcia Pochette, 57, trapped inside the Toyota, unconscious and not breathing, according to a probable cause affidavit for Copeland’s arrest.

Bryce Graham, an activist in Boynton Beach who is a family friend, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that Pochette and Woods were mother and daughter.

The Toyota came to a stop in bushes to the west of North Congress Avenue with the front of the car smashed, resting against the entrance wall of the Meadows of Boynton Beach neighborhood. Copeland’s Kia was found empty in the southbound lanes with its driver’s-side door open and significant damage to the front of the car, the affidavit said.

Someone called 911 about five minutes after the crash about a man who appeared to be injured banging on the front door of someone’s house in the nearby neighborhood, the affidavit said. Three Boynton officers found Copeland nearby and handcuffed him after he first tried to resist them.

Copeland was taken to Baptist Health Bethesda Hospital East to be treated for minor injuries, the affidavit said. Boynton Beach Fire Rescue took Woods and Pochette to Delray Medical Center, where they both were pronounced dead.

Mike Jachles, a spokesperson for West Palm Beach Police, said in a statement Thursday evening that the department began on Wednesday an Internal Affairs investigation of the “circumstances surrounding” the crash. Chief Frank Adderley placed the “involved officers” on administrative leave, but Jachles did not say how many officers are being investigated.

“While there are many questions and few answers at this time, we need to let the facts lead us to the outcome of the investigation,” Adderley said in the prepared statement.

Graham said Woods had just announced to Pochette and her father that she was pregnant.

“They were well on their way to enjoying their life together,” Graham said of Woods and her husband. “She was expecting to be a mother; the mother was expecting to be a grandmother.”

Family members met with Boynton Beach Police Chief Joseph DeGiulio and other department officials Thursday morning to learn the information that was publicly released later in the day, Graham said.

“The question still remains, what was this chase?” Graham said.

Copeland is facing two counts of leaving the scene of a crash causing death and one count of resisting arrest without violence, court records show. He remained in the Palm Beach County jail as of Thursday evening.

Boynton Beach Police are investigating the crash. The department’s news release said additional charges are pending.

Here is the Paris Olympics TV schedule for Friday, Aug. 2.

Highlights include Day 2 of track and field, including the men’s 10,000-meter final, the U.S. men’s soccer team in the quarterfinals against Morocco (9 a.m. EST, USA) and swimming finals in the women’s 200 back and 200 IM, and men’s 50 free.

Richardson missed the Tokyo Games because of a positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. She will debut as the favorite in the women’s 100-meter dash in a first-round heat that starts at 11:50 a.m. CEST (5:50 a.m. EDT).

Richardson is the reigning world champion in the event, and her 10.71-second sprint at the U.S. trials in June made her the fastest woman in the world this year.

Shericka Jackson of Jamaica said Wednesday she will not run in the 100, where she was expected to challenge Richardson for gold. Richardson will still face tough competition from three-time Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica, who has won the race twice. Fraser-Pryce is competing in her fifth and final Olympics.

Elaine Thompson-Herah, the two-time reigning Olympic champion in the 100 and 200, will miss the Paris Games because of an injury.

Marchand looks to continue Paris dominance

France’s Léon Marchand aims for his fourth gold medal of the 2024 Games when he swims in the 200-meter individual medley at 8:43 p.m. CEST (2:43 EDT) at Paris La Defense Area.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Four Las Vegas teenagers accused in the fatal beating of their high school classmate have agreed to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter in a deal that will keep them from being tried as adults, lawyers said Thursday.

The teens originally were charged in January as adults with second-degree murder and conspiracy in the November death of 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. Cellphone video of the fatal beating was shared across social media.

The deal announced during a hearing Thursday before Clark County District Judge Tierra Jones calls for the four to be sent to juvenile court and face an undetermined length of imprisonment in a juvenile detention center. The deal was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Should any of the teens back out of the deal, then all four would again be charged in adult court, Chief Deputy District Attorney John Giordani said.

“The offer is contingent on everyone’s acceptance,” Giordani said.

The Associated Press is not naming the students because they were juveniles at the time of the Nov. 1, 2023, attack.

The four were among nine teenagers who were arrested in Lewis’ death. Lewis was attacked on Nov. 1 just off the campus of Rancho High School where all were students. Authorities have said the students agreed to meet in the alley to fight over a vape pen and wireless headphones that had been stolen from Lewis’ friend. Lewis died from his injuries six days later.

Defense lawyer Robert Draskovich, representing one of the four defendants, called the deadly fight a tragedy, but said convicting the four students of murder as adults would have been a second tragedy.

“This negotiation enables my client to graduate high school, move on with his life and become a productive citizen,” Draskovich told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The attorney said he’ll ask at sentencing for his client to be released from custody with credit for time already served. Draskovich acknowledged that his client was among those who kicked Lewis while he was on the ground but said a jury also would have seen video showing at least one of the people in a group with Lewis had a knife.

Mellisa Ready, Lewis’ mother, told KLAS-TV in Las Vegas on Thursday that she was “dumbfounded” by the plea agreement. She said that she had heard from the Clark County district attorney’s office that the teens were going to plead guilty to murder in the adult court system.

Giordani declined to comment after the hearing Thursday but provided a statement to AP from Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson’s office. It acknowledged Lewis’ mother’s comments and “the pain (she) is going through as she mourns the loss of her son.” But it said she had been informed last week about the terms of the negotiations.

Wolfson’s office defended the resolution of the case as a balance of “thoughtful consideration of the egregious facts” and potential legal challenges that prosecutors would have faced at trial.

The statement said juvenile court is “best equipped to punish the defendants for their heinous conduct” while also offering rehabilitation.

In Nevada, a teenager facing a murder charge can be charged as an adult if they were 13 or older when the crime occurred.

A homicide detective who investigated the case told a grand jury last year that cellphone and surveillance video showed Lewis taking off his red sweatshirt and throwing a punch at one of the students, according to court transcripts made public in January. The suspects then pulled Lewis to the ground and began punching, kicking and stomping on him, the detective said.

A student and a resident in the area carried Lewis, who was badly beaten and unconscious, back to campus after the fight, according to the transcripts. School staff called 911 and tried to help him.
