You are not comfortable with Hillary Clinton, the Democrat. You can’t get behind Donald Trump, the Republican nominee. So now there’s another candidate out there, someone who already rules a red-and-blue state and claims he has just the background to be your next President.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says all permit decisions are based on the “impact on the functioning of the city,” not on the content of protesters’ shouts. “The vast majority of groups that come here will protest peacefully. We’re interested in facilitating it,” says Kelly. The NYPD has set an informal deadline of June 15 for permit requests, and says it won’t make decisions until then. (Boston police haven’t granted any of their 12 requests for the July Democratic convention yet, either, but they’re providing a large stage near the site for protesters....
The corporate version of that story unfolded in Houston earlier this month when an investor group led by controversial moneyman Charles Hurwitz made a $350 million bid for Continental Airlines, the nation’s fifth largest carrier. The overture came 23 months after corporate raider and former Continental chief executive Frank Lorenzo parted ways with Continental; the airline filed for bankruptcy protection in December 1990. If the buyout bid is successful, it could make Continental Airlines, which lost $340 million last year, the first carrier of the decade to survive Chapter 11 proceedings....
In which case, the timing of the 2022 recession could hardly be worse for President Joe Biden. With the second quarter of consecutive negative GDP growth marking what most economists and pundits consider a recession, Biden has only one more GDP reading before voters go to the polls on Tuesday, November 8. On July 28, GDP for the second quarter was given as -0.9 percent, following the previous quarter’s reading of -1....

TO AN EAST COAST corporate tower builder, Jim Cutler might sound like some kind of New Age nut. A soft-spoken, bearded guy who pads in his socks around a snug office overlooking a Puget Sound marina, Cutler is a bit ambivalent about his profession. He’s uneasy about its destructiveness (“whenever you build something, you insult the land”); he terms the unnecessary bulldozing of a tree “wanton murder.” So when he starts a new project, be takes the lay of the land: he personally surveys the site, nestles his design into the existing trees as much as possible and marks out a staging area so construction crews contain their mess....

A sixth loss this season, with five already through eight games, could cost the coach his job. MORE: Week 9 NFL power rankings | IYER: How to fix Andrew Luck Colts general manager Ryan Grigson was visibly upset during and after Monday night’s 29-26 overtime loss to the Panthers.

While a standalone Call of Duty Zombies game would be an excellent way to keep fans busy until Treyarch’s next Call of Duty releases in 2024, it is just a rumor at this time. Still, if it happens, it is important that this standalone game meets the expectations of fans that have wanted it for years. To succeed at doing this, Treyarch and Activision should look to Halo: The Master Chief Collection for inspiration....
That was not an outlandish assessment of the young Henry Cisneros. The tall, handsome son of an army colonel, Cisneros, a graduate of Texas A&M and Harvard, exuded a winning presence, a mixture of ambition and dignity. Though he didn’t make it onto the ticket that summer of 1984 (Geraldine Ferraro did), insiders regarded Cisneros as a future governor or senator, possibly the first Hispanic president. Right now, however, Cisneros is worrying about staying out of prison....
Maybe this old problem is garnering fresh attention because Republicans have made inroads elsewhere. In 2012, single men also voted Democrat, but now a majority of them vote Republican. Perhaps this old problem feels more urgent because single women will make up a growing part of the electorate. The marriage rate is at its lowest level in recorded history, and as women continue to earn more degrees and make more money than single men, marriage will only become less common....
But the newlywed phase between an NFL team and its new head coach is typically one of unadulterated bliss. As the seasons pass, it becomes obvious that not all honeymoons are meant to last. If the Colts founder again this season, Reich will get a pass because of his late arrival and the roster deficiencies second-year general manager Chris Ballard is trying to correct. After that, there are no built-in excuses for either....
How had Giuliani–national symbol of safer streets and an early favorite for the U.S. Senate–allowed a local tragedy to turn into a prime-time crisis? The mayor said his enemies were using Diallo’s death for political sport, and in some cases he had a point. After all, murders are down 70 percent under Giuliani, and the rate of fatal police shootings is lower than in such cities as Chicago and Dallas....

But Walton, who died on April 5 at the age of 74, was no ordinary working stiff. He lived to compete–whether it was to become Missouri’s youngest Eagle Scout or to surpass K mart and Sears in sales–and fueled his ambitions with an almost comical self-assurance. " It never occurred to me that I might lose," he writes. Winning often meant shoplifting other people’s ides–“most everything I’ve done I’ve copied from somebody else....
It’s called star quality, and it’s likely to make Jerry Brown Oakland’s next mayor. Never mind that he’s lived here for only three years, or that he’s the only white candidate in a largely black city. Never mind that he can’t stop talking about glo bal warming and has no specific proposals for what to do about, say, the empty storefronts along Broadway. ““I don’t want to announce plans at this moment,” Brown tells a group of contractors, ““but I see a people-friendly downtown with a lot of shops, a nd a lot of people being there....
It has been five months since Spann was killed during a prison uprising in northern Afghanistan. Shannon, 32, has endured the hero’s burial at Arlington, the appearance at the State of the Union, the round of television interviews. But in the flurry of the incident’s aftermath, one thing has been forgotten: Shannon is a CIA operative, too. Before taking maternity leave, she worked as a counterterrorism officer in the agency’s Directorate of Operations (DO), its shadowy espionage branch....
That doesn’t mean Dead Rising is gone for good, but it will need a major shot in the arm to come back. Dead Rising 5 was supposedly in development before Capcom Vancouver closed, although development was turbulent. The pitch was for a game set between Dead Rising 2 and 3 featuring Chuck Greene and his daughter Katey as playable characters. The game sounded like another attempt to return to what made the series good, but there were still conflicting elements like Katey’s new control over zombie hordes....
It seemed almost too easy. With eerie precision, “smart” bombs dropped down air shafts and burst through bunker doors. Cruise missiles, lethal robots launched from warships in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, slammed into the Defense Ministry and the presidential palace in Baghdad. Hot streams of antiaircraft fire lit up the night, while bomb explosions bloomed above the skyline. Out in the desert, the Iraqi Air Force hid in its hardened shelters; the few pilots who came up to challenge the intruders were quickly shot down or turned tail and fled to the north....
