NFL announced a partnership with Jay-Z and his entertainment company Roc Nation to be named the league's live music entertainment strategist.

In that role, Jay-Z and his firm became co-producers and consultants of the Super Bowl halftime show, allowing them to be involved in selecting music for NFL usage and choosing entertainers to perform in televised promotional spots throughout the season.

 

Critics were more positive about Lamar's announcement, praising it as a historic and full circle accomplishment that ties to the beginning of his escalated feud with Drake. The halftime performance is the capstone of a year that has seen Lamar "ascend to the highest levels" of popular culture, and seen Drake "sink to the lowest levels" of his career. David Dennis Jr. of Andscape declared the announcement as a final, definitive reminder that Lamar has completed "one of the most undeniable one-sided victories in rap history." USA Today's Mike Freeman argued that it showcased a prominent example of Jay-Z's influence on the NFL's mostly conservative owners by "unabashedly injecting Black culture into the league's Super Bowl bloodstream."

The Pirbright site was implicated in the 2007 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak, with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) concluding that a local case of the disease was a result of contaminated effluent release either from the Pirbright Institute or the neighbouring Merial Animal Health laboratory.

A plane collided with another plane at Boston's Logan International Airport on Monday evening.

Massport said a tug vehicle towing an empty JetBlue plane struck a Cape Air plane at slow speed near Terminal C around 6:30 p.m. Monday. There were no injuries and Massport said the incident was "minor".

"While under tow, a JetBlue Airbus A321 struck the back of Cape Air Flight 617, a Tecnam P2012, which was waiting to park at a gate at Boston Logan International Airport. The incident occurred around 6:15 p.m. local time on Monday, Nov. 25. The FAA will investigate," the The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement early Tuesday.

"It was an absolute mess, there were lights everywhere," said Caroline Agid, who was scheduled to board the JetBlue plane for a flight to Orlando.

"It's hard to tell from the photos and I don't know if it's a glare, but it kind of looks like it got a little bumped or a little smooshed on the top. It was a chaotic mess. I saw people going in and out of the Cape Air plane."

The accident delayed the Orlando bound flight for hours and delayed other passengers on the tarmac about to take off.

"The front of the JetBlue plane was really close to the Cape Air plane and there were like 15-20 emergency vehicles surrounding it," said Lawrence Brown, whose flight was delayed by the collision.

Cape Air said the JetBlue plane came into contact with Cape Air Flight 5101 which had landed at Logan from Nantucket.

The flight was carrying three passengers and two crew members and Cape Air said no injuries were reported.

This incident comes the same day an American Airlines plane clipped the wing tip of a Frontier Airlines plane at Terminal E earlier Monday.

"It was very scary, all of the sudden 'thump' one passenger said.

There were no injuries during that incident either, Massport confirmed.

"It was like a bump kind of," said Frontier Airlines passenger Ozzy Palchik. "Then we were just waiting and the pilot said that there was an incident with the plane next to us."

The FAA said the American Airlines plane was pulling into its gate when its wing hit the wingtip of a parked Frontier Airlines plane.

Although there were no injuries with either incident, two collisions in one day has rattled many passengers at Logan.

"I fly because its faster but I have my knee bouncing the entire time, because I am just so nervous about flying these days" Brown said.

Both airlines told NewsCenter 5 they have removed those planes from service and are inspecting them.

JetBlue is also analyzing the tug that was towing its plane to the gate. Passengers scheduled to fly to Orlando with that plane did take off about three hours later in a different plane.

Belkin's Apple-approved wireless charger joins the growing ranks of consumer goods tainted by this hormone-mimicking chemical, including everything from water bottles and trash bags, to tableware, carpeting and more.

'Holding the case with sweaty hands could lead to absorbing some,' one consumer advocate warned a nervous Apple customer online.

While Prop65 is the strongest such law in the US, the legislation is a modest step compared to regulations in the European Union, where BPA is banned in food packaging marketed for use by young children โ€” with a total ban now up for debate on the continent.

Studies since at least 2018 using cultures of human skin cells have, in fact, shown that as much as 16โ€“20 percent of BPA shedded from a consumer product can become absorbed and biologically available via contact with human skin.

After months of wrangling over the legitimacy of a plea deal in the Sept. 11 case, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III has stripped a senior official running the war crimes court of her authority to reach settlements in any cases at Guantรกnamo Bay.

Mr. Austinโ€™s decision comes as government lawyers are trying to nullify a plea agreement in the Sept. 11, 2001, case.

On July 31, Mr. Austinโ€™s appointee in charge of the court, Susan K. Escallier, approved a settlement that was reached by prosecutors across years of negotiations. But Mr. Austin said he was surprised by it and moved to rescind the deal, saying he strongly believed that the men accused of plotting the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people should face a trial.

Now, in a memo dated Monday and obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Austin stripped Ms. Escallier of the authority to approve deals in the U.S.S. Cole and Bali bombing cases, โ€œeffective immediately.โ€ In doing so, he has given himself the sole power to approve plea deals in the terrorism cases in the final months of the Biden administration.

Mr. Austin wanted to make sure โ€œwe arenโ€™t surprised by anything for the remainder of the term,โ€ said a senior Defense Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive legal issue.

The Trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all Covid-19 patient information to a central database in Washington beginning on Wednesday. The move has alarmed health experts who fear the data will be politicized or withheld from the public.

The new instructions were posted recently in a little-noticed document on the Department of Health and Human Services website. From now on, the department โ€” not the C.D.C. โ€” will collect daily reports about the patients that each hospital is treating, the number of available beds and ventilators, and other information vital to tracking the pandemic.
