A Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal (D)  has been booted from several committees for calling for the assassination of the U.S President. She is expected to be ousted from office within a month

Sorry might not cut it for the Missouri lawmaker who called for President Trump's assassination.

Missouri Senate leaders announced Tuesday that Democratic state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal has been stripped of her committee assignments, just two days after she tried to calm the controversy with a public apology.

Meanwhile, the state's Republican lieutenant governor, Mike Parson, on Tuesday called for the Senate to go into special session to expel Chappelle-Nadal from the body.

"I do not make this request of you lightly, but you and I know it is the right course of action to take for the people of Missouri," Parson wrote in a letter to members of the Missouri Senate.

Republican Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard and Minority Leader Gina Walsh on Tuesday both rescinded the lawmaker's nine committee assignments, with Richard saying in a brief statement: "I support the decision of Senate Minority Leader Gina Walsh to remove Sen. Chappelle-Nadal from all of her Senate committees. I am also removing her from all appointments under my authority."

The move reflects the erosion of support Chappelle-Nadal has seen ever since she posted on Facebook last week: "I hope Trump is assassinated!"

Chappelle-Nadal later deleted the statement. She then apologized at a press conference streamed live Sunday on the Facebook page of the Clayton Times, a St. Louis County newspaper.

"President Trump, I apologize to you and your family," Chappelle-Nadal said at the Wellspring Church in Ferguson, Mo. "I also apologize to all the people in Missouri. And I also apologize to my colleagues in the Missouri legislature for the mistake that I made."

She added, "I made a mistake. And I'm owning up to it."

But Missouri's Republican governor and lieutenant governor already had said senators should oust her from office if she doesn't resign.

Expulsion from office would require a two-thirds vote.

The system is currently a tropical depression but it could become a hurricane before it is expected to hit Texas later this week.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/22/us/possible-hurricane/index.html

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Harvey initially formed just east of the Windward Islands, in the Caribbean Sea. It reached tropical storm status from August 17-19, but dissipated over the eastern Caribbean after encountering unfavorable environmental conditions.

After moving over the Yucatan Peninsula Tuesday as a tropical wave, the remnants of Harvey are now emerging into the western Gulf of Mexico -- and more importantly, into an environment that is favorable for development.

Detailed forecast

Will it become a tropical storm again? Will it become a hurricane? How strong will the winds be? And how significant will the storm surge be?

These are all questions that will be answered over the next few days. As of Tuesday evening, the National Hurricane Center says there is nearly a 100% chance of Harvey redeveloping.

A few days ago, forecast models largely showed the remnants of Harvey moving into Mexico.

However, over the past few days, the majority of our forecast models have trended northward and most are now showing the storm reach Texas.

It's too early to say where in Texas, but a few days ago the risk of Harvey making it north of Brownsville was fairly low. Now that is no longer the case.

This is significant for many reasons, but most importantly, the farther north the storm travels, the greater distance to landfall. And greater distance equals more time to strengthen over the extremely warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

With the expected slow trajectory across the Gulf of Mexico, Harvey shouldn't reach the coast until Friday or perhaps even early Saturday. This is plenty of time to allow for the possibility of Harvey becoming a hurricane.

Should Harvey become a hurricane and make landfall in Texas, it would be the first hurricane to do so since Ike in 2008. According to Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane research scientist at Colorado State University, the longest streak without a hurricane landfall in the state of Texas is 11 years (1855-1865).

Flood threat

While there are many questions about the strength and impacts, one thing is more certain: flooding is big concern.

Inland flooding is often one of the biggest threats of a landfalling tropical system, but rainfall amounts increase exponentially when the storm moves at a slower speed.

The National Hurricane Center is already saying "the system is likely to slow down once it reaches the coast, increasing the threat of a prolonged period of heavy rain and flooding across portions of Texas, southwest Louisiana, and northeastern Mexico into early next week."

Again, the specific locations of extreme rainfall and flooding are impossible to project before the storm even develops. However, forecast models, such as the one below, are showing the potential for widespread areas of six inches of rainfall.

10-15" is likely in a few of the hardest hit areas and extreme amounts of over 20" are not uncommon with slow-moving tropical systems.

While it has been nine years since Texas last saw a hurricane, the state is no stranger to devastating flooding from tropical systems. In 2001 Tropical Storm Allison was a multibillion dollar disaster for the state, specifically Houston. Allison became nearly stationary for days, dropping more than 30 inches of rain across portions of the city. To this day, Allison is the only non-hurricane to have its name retired.

Report says US, Canadian diplomats in Cuba may have suffered brain damage

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(Video by CBS)

WASHINGTON _ The mystery over why U.S. and Canadian diplomats in Cuba have developed hearing loss and other symptoms deepened Wednesday after a media report suggested they may have suffered brain damage.

Some officials believe the diplomats were injured by sonic waves from listening devices hidden in their homes or workplaces in Havana, but that has not been confirmed.

It is still not clear who planted the devices, and whether they were intended to cause harm.

"This is unprecedented," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said. "We have not seen this anywhere."

Cuba has denied any responsibility and is cooperating with U.S. and Canadian investigators, she said.

CBS News reported Wednesday that it had reviewed medical records of some of the people affected. It said doctors had diagnosed mild traumatic brain injury and damage to the central nervous system.

The diplomats began reporting health problems, including hearing loss and dizziness, in December. Several cut short their assignments in Cuba because of the symptoms.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has cited the "health attacks" on diplomats but has not provided details. The State Department will not say how many Americans were affected.

car rammed into French pizzeria, leaving one girl dead and eight others injured.

Eight other people suffered minor injuries in the incident, in Sept-Sorts, 55 kilometers (34 miles) east of Paris, the ministry said.

Gendarmes arrested the driver after the incident and the prosecutor's office in the nearby city of Meaux is trying to establish the motive of the driver, it said. There was nobody else in the vehicle.

The Paris Prosecutor told CNN there are no indications the incident was terror-related.

The ministry as well as France's President and prime minister sent their deepest condolences to the family of the girl who died as well as those wounded and their loved ones, the statement from Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said.

"The witnesses, shocked, are being assisted by a psychological and medical emergency unit," it said.

A dad was accused of leaving his 5 kids at home alone while going to work to pay for medical bills. He is now in jail for child abuse.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Raleigh man is in jail facing child abuse charges for allegedly leaving his five children under age 8 at home alone all day on Tuesday.
UPDATE: Man charged with leaving children at home while he worked now out of jail as offers of help pour in
Raleigh police say the man was at work.

Victor Alonzo King lists his employer as Chipotle.

When ABC11 called the Chipotle nearest King's North Raleigh home, a woman who identified herself as the manager said she had power of attorney for King.

She wouldn't say whether he worked at the store she manages, but she did say he left his children with a neighbor who had kept them before and that the neighbor then left the children alone.

King, who is 30 years old, is the father of all five children according to court documents obtained by ABC11.

Those documents list the children's ages as 8, 7, 5, 3 and 1.

In a 911 call related to the case, a woman says she tried to help King find a babysitter but he refused.

In court Wednesday, King told a judge he is the sole provider for his children and his wife is very ill.

"Two weeks ago my wife was diagnosed with stage four cancer. And I'm practically like her only way to pay for all of her medical bills. So I was wondering if I could get out early and I can still work so I won't lose my job so I can still pay for her medical expenses," he said.

It's not clear if King has medical insurance through his employer.

His bond is $25,000 which could keep him behind bars and out of work, and when the prosecutor told the judge King has a 2011 conviction in California for child cruelty, the judge refused to lower his bond.

ESPN pulls broadcaster from Virginia Vs. William and Mary game due to name coincidence being Robert Lee

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The latest episode of the culture wars to wash into sports, and the news media that cover it, was prompted (unintentionally) by a broadcaster named Robert Lee. His employer, ESPN, announced Tuesday night that the name he shares with the Confederate general made him a poor choice for calling a University of Virginia football game in Charlottesville, where a recent protest over the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee left a woman dead and became part of the national dialogue.

It was a story tailor-made for America's present hyper-polarized, kinetic and more than slightly absurd moment, and it has left one inescapable conclusion: However many times sports media outlets - and chiefly the biggest of them all, ESPN - are implored to "stick to sports," the centripetal force of politics is bound to make a battlefield of almost anything.
Sign Up For the Morning Briefing Newsletter
ESPN made the decision with Lee, the company said in a statement Tuesday night, "as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name."

"In that moment it felt right to all parties," the statement said. "It's a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play-by-play for a football game has become such an issue."

The news was first reported Tuesday by Clay Travis, a Fox Sports contributor and editor of the website Outkick the Coverage, who has led a robust chorus of criticism of ESPN for what some perceive as liberal bias. Numerous conservative outlets, including Fox News, have covered the Lee story extensively.

Specifically, Travis reported that ESPN wished to "avoid offending" some viewers. In its statement, as well as in background discussions with reporters, ESPN denied that avoiding offense was a motivation.

ESPN's president, John Skipper, reiterated that point on Wednesday in a statement posted on the company's internal website and provided to The New York Times.

"There was never any concern - by anyone, at any level - that Robert Lee's name would offend anyone watching the Charlottesville game," Skipper said in the statement. "Among our Charlotte production staff there was a question as to whether - in these divisive times - Robert's assignment might create a distraction, or even worse, expose him to social hectoring and trolling."

He added that Lee was offered the chance to broadcast a different game on the same day and opted for that. "I'm disappointed that the good intentions of our Charlotte colleagues have been intentionally hijacked by someone with a personal agenda," Skipper wrote, apparently referring to Travis, "and sincerely appreciate Robert's personal input and professionalism throughout this episode."

ESPN did not make Lee available for comment.

Travis's report seemed to provide new fodder for those who accuse ESPN of liberal bias, a charge leveled this year after the network laid off dozens of employees. While that move was made for business considerations, it nonetheless provided a forum for longstanding complaints over ESPN's perceived slant.

It seemed unlikely that Lee's broadcasting of the Cavaliers' season opener on Sept. 2 against lower-tier William and Mary, to be streamed over the internet via the ESPN-owned A.C.C. Network, would have resulted in much more than a few mischievous internet memes and Twitter jokes.

I know I'm not the only hoping there was a Confederate general named Joe Buck.

- Sean Davis (@seanmdav) August 23, 2017

James Andrew Miller, who co-wrote a history of ESPN and has contributed to The New York Times, said the Lee decision ESPN indicated that ESPN wants "to be as far away from geopolitical and cultural issues as they can be."

"If they could build a biosphere where all that stuff is out of the equation, they would," Miller said.

Instead, conservatives found new ballast while liberals bemoaned what they characterized as a silly pre-emptive capitulation to unlikely or marginal offense.

You guys know there's no coming back from this ESPN thing, right? When the people who control media and culture are this far gone, it's over

- Omri Ceren (@omriceren) August 23, 2017

don't blame liberal conspiracy for this ESPN stupidity. I was at the last meeting, and nothing like this came up. https://t.co/twzWrsQnZp

- Harold Pollack (@haroldpollack) August 23, 2017

Compounding matters, Lee is Asian-American. The Asian American Journalists Association said in a statement that "it is unfortunate that someone's name, particularly a last name that is common among Asian-Americans, can be a potential liability."

Patrick Miller, a political scientist at the University of Kansas, said the episode arguably provided more proof that the United States' present political climate is unusually tribal, with two opposing sides in greater and more extravagant disagreement than is historically typical.

"There's a big divide on the parties when it comes to regions and racial attitudes, which taps into the debate around Confederate symbols," Miller said. "Republicans today believe whites and Christians are far more discriminated against than other groups, whereas Democrats think the opposite, and the same goes for conservatives and liberals."

While Miller said his research concerned political elections rather than debates over sports culture, he saw how it could apply to the ESPN situation. He also disclosed that he is a Virginia native who graduated from William and Mary.

"I can understand what ESPN is thinking, given the context: two Virginia schools, one of them U.Va., where Confederate symbolism was at the core of what happened there," he said. "Maybe just to avoid the headline and touching on people's feelings."

But a day later it seemed clear that ESPN had blundered by overestimating its ability to keep its and Lee's decision quiet and underestimating the reaction once it became public.

Notably, Travis said in a blog post that the news has been leaked to him "by multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN."

"Turns out people in Bristol are not all children of Bernie Sanders," James Andrew Miller said, referring to ESPN's Connecticut headquarters. "There's actually some conservative voices there, and they're starting to push back more and more, because they don't like their company being associated with the liberal agenda."

Now, Miller added, ESPN must "decide whose opinion they care about."

NASA has made an spacecraft that could one day carry humans to Mars and possibly beyond.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NASA just got one step closer to its most ambitious spacecraft ever: One that can carry humans to the moon, Mars and perhaps beyond.

It's called Orion. And Lockheed Martin , NASA's contractor for the project, said the latest version of the vessel was powered on for the first time Tuesday morning, lighting up the intricate on-board computers that will one day help guide Orion through the vacuum of space.

"This is the brains and heart of the spacecraft," said Lockheed spokesperson Gary Napier. He added that the inaugural power-up appeared to go "very well."

For the next one or two months NASA will add even more computer systems and continue testing its hardware and software, Napier told CNNMoney.

It's an important milestone for Orion, which NASA has been working on ever since the Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011.

The hope is to one day launch the spacecraft on the Space Launch System (SLS), a truly massive rocket that is also currently under development by NASA and a handful of private-sector contractors.

When it's up and running, SLS could be the most powerful rocket ever built. The current record holder is NASA's Saturn V rocket, which was used in NASA's Apollo missions, including the 1969 moon landing, and has long been retired.

Orion and SLS are seen as NASA's next great step forward.

Orion is tentatively scheduled to fly on SLS for an unmanned test flight around the moon in 2019.

"Although astronauts will not fly in this capsule on this flight, a large majority of the [tech is] the same design that astronauts will rely on during following missions with Orion into the solar system," Lockheed said in a statement.

It's not clear when the first humans will actually climb aboard Orion. NASA originally slated the first manned mission for sometime in 2021, but the timeline has since shifted and NASA has yet to set a new target date.

Related: Branson! Musk! Bezos! The billionaire space race throwdown

Critics say SLS and Orion have been too slow and expensive, particularly in light of the rapid development of the U.S.'s commercial space industry.

Several private-sector companies are investing big money in space exploration.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is known for its Mars ambitions, and the firm is expected to announce a major update to its Mars travel plan in the coming weeks. And Jeff Bezos, head of Blue Origin, is underway on his own spacecraft capable of making cargo trips to the moon.

Meanwhile, NASA has poured tens of billions of dollars into developing SLS and Orion, and it's already pushed back several deadlines.

But cheerleaders for NASA's Orion program say the private sector is far behind NASA in developing something that would have SLS and Orion's capabilities.

And, of course, NASA put the very first humans on the moon -- so the agency knows a thing or two about the perils and complications of spaceflight.

"Orion was designed from the beginning to take humanity farther into space than we've ever gone," Mike Hawes, the Orion program manager at Lockheed, said in a statement. "Everyone on the team understands how crucial this test campaign is, and more importantly, what this spacecraft and mission means to our country and future human space flight."

2017-8-23 04:21:06

In response, Brown tweeted, "This is pathetic."

On Tuesday, Boston sent Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' unprotected 2018 first-round draft pick to the Cavs for Kyrie Irving.

Thomas spent parts of the past three seasons with the Celtics and developed into one of the NBA's most dynamic offensive players.

He was named an All-Star in each of the past two seasons, ranked third in the NBA with 28.9 points per game in 2016-17 and finished fifth in the MVP voting.

Despite that, the 28-year-old became an expendable piece in the Irving trade since his contract expires at the conclusion of the 2017-18 campaign.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge also acknowledged the hip injury that caused Thomas to miss time during the playoffs played "some" role in his decision to make the deal, per ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman and Adrian Wojnarowski.

Brown is now just one of four players remaining from last season's Celtics team that finished first in the Eastern Conference during the regular season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft out of the University of California, and he averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game as a rookie.

He figures to combine with rookie Jayson Tatum in 2017-18 to give Boston one of the most promising young wing tandems in the NBA.

The Monday protest involved a group of 12 mostly black Browns players joined by two of their white teammates. Such protests have increased in the league following then San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's custom last year of taking a knee during the anthem to protest police brutality.

"Respect to all the veterans, respect to the military - we are not protesting against them. We have our reasons for doing what we did, and last night felt like the right time to do it, and that's why we did it," Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey told Fox 8 on Tuesday.

The response from O'Neill comes as the NAACP has requested a meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss why Kaepernick has not been signed by any team in the NFL and 1,000 people rallied in support of him outside the NFL's headquarters in Midtown Manahttan.

"No player should be victimized and discriminated against because of his exercise of free speech - to do so is in violation of his rights under the Constitution and the NFL's own regulations," NAACP Interim President Derrick Johnson.

The NFL has suffered ratings decreases since the protests began, with some fans objecting to what they see as a lack of patriotism, and others boycotting games in protest of Kaepernick's plight.

Despite currently being unemployed, Kaepernick has donated nearly $1 million to charitable and activist groups since beginning his protests.

Navy divers have recovered the remains of two sailors

A multinational 80-hour search effort was suspended Wednesday after covering a 2,100-square-mile area

The US Navy has suspended its search-and-rescue operations for the sailors who remain missing after the collision between the US destroyer John S. McCain and an oil tanker near Singapore, the Navy announced Thursday.

Navy divers have recovered the remains of two sailors - electronics technician 3rd class Kenneth Aaron Smith, 22, from New Jersey, and electronics technician 3rd class Dustin Louis Doyon, 26, from Connecticut - and identified eight other missing sailors, the service said.

A multinational 80-hour search effort was suspended Wednesday after covering a 2,100-square-mile area east of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.

On Tuesday, Navy and Marine Corps divers found "some remains" of missing sailors in the sealed compartments aboard the McCain.

Divers will continue recovery efforts inside flooded compartments in the ship for remains, despite the suspension of rescue efforts at sea.

The guided-missile destroyer and the merchant vessel collided Monday east of the Malacca Strait, the fourth time a US warship has been involved in an accident in Asian waters this year.

The collision prompted the Navy to order a rare, one-day operational pause.

The McCain has been towed to Singapore's Changi Naval Base. The other ship, the Alnic MC, a 600-foot, Liberian-flagged oil and chemical tanker, was towed to Singapore's eastern anchorage for inspection.

The White House on Wednesday expressed "great sadness" about the incident in a statement. "As the Navy begins the process of recovering our fallen sailors, our thoughts and prayers go out to their families and friends," the statement said.

The sailors still missing were identified as:

Electronics technician 1st class Charles Nathan Findley, 31, from Missouri

Interior communications electrician 1st class Abraham Lopez, 39, from Texas

Electronics technician 2nd class Kevin Sayer Bushell, 26, from Maryland

Electronics technician 2nd class Jacob Daniel Drake, 21, from Ohio

Information systems technician 2nd class Timothy Thomas Eckels Jr., 23, from Maryland

Information systems technician 2nd class Corey George Ingram, 28, from New York

A hurricane warning was issued for the Texas coast Thursday morning, covering an area from Port Mansfield to Matagorda.

The storm's maximum sustained winds had increased to near 45 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said additional strengthening was expected and Harvey could become a hurricane by Friday, when it's expected to approach the southern Texas coast.

As of 5 a.m. EDT, the storm was centered about 370 miles southeast of Port Mansfield and was moving north near 10 mph.

In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the State Operations Center to elevate its readiness level, making state resources available for possible rescue and recovery actions. Abbott also pre-emptively declared a state of disaster for 30 counties on or near the coast to speed deployment of state resources to any areas affected.

Emergency officials Wednesday asked residents along the upper Texas coastline to move or prepare to move inland. Those in low-lying areas were urged to seek higher ground, and those elsewhere were told to monitor official announcements closely.

A hurricane watch was in effect for Texas from Port Mansfield to San Luis Pass. A storm surge watch was in effect from Port Mansfield to High Island.

On South Padre Island, people filled sandbags and loaded them into cars and vans Wednesday to take to protect exposed homes and businesses. Others in the forecast path of the storm sought out generators, plywood and other goods from hardware stores. Meanwhile, rice farmers in coastal Matagorda County moved quickly to harvest their crops.

On Wednesday morning, a 4 million cubic meter landslide occurred on the Swiss Alpine valley, leaving 8 people missing.

Police say eight people are still missing a day after a mudslide and rockslide hit a small Swiss village near the Italian border.

The village of Bondo was evacuated after the slide on Wednesday morning. Police in Graubuenden canton (state) say some buildings were damaged.

Police said Thursday that they haven't yet been able to reach eight people who were in the Bondasca valley at the time of the slide - nationals of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Six of those people have been reported missing by relatives.

That prompted an "intensified" search overnight. A Swiss army helicopter was deployed as part of the search.

Russian ambassador Sudan found dead in his own swimming pool. Only in his early 60's

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Russian ambassador to Sudan was reportedly found dead in his swimming pool Wednesday, becoming Russia's fourth envoy to die in the last eight months while overseas.

The New York Times reported that Mirgayas Shirinsky died at his residence in Khartoum, Sudan's capital city. The Sudan Foreign Ministry did not provide his cause of death. The paper said he was in his 60s.

The Agence France-Presse reported that Shirinsky was found in the swimming pool.

"He was found dead in the swimming pool of his residence at 7:05 p.m.," Omar al-Mokhtar, a police spokesman, told AFP.

A police official told the news agency that there appeared to be no "foul play."

An embassy press secretary told Russian news media that it appeared Shirinsky suffered a heart attack.

The Times pointed out that Shirinsky's death comes almost exactly six months since Russia's ambassador to the U.N. died after suffering a "cardiac condition" at the Russian Embassy in New York. Vitaly Churkin was considered to be Moscow's great champion to the U.N.

Alexander Kadakin, Russia's former ambassador to India, died in January after a brief illness and Andrey G. Karlov, Russia's ambassador to Turkey, was killed at an art gallery in Turkey. He was gunned down by a former Turkish police officer who shouted "Allahu Akbar!" and "Don't forget Aleppo!"

Axios, in a February article titled, "Russian Diplomats Keep Dying Unexpectedly," reported that at the time six envoys died in the span of three months and all but one died on foreign soil. The report said there were some consistencies in the reports on the deaths: some were shot and others had brief illnesses.

Shirinsky, who was reportedly fluent in Arabic and English, was a diplomat since 1977, AFP reported. He has served in posts in Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

"As soon as we receive detailed information from the Russian embassy staff in Khartoum, we will give information on the circumstances of the death of our colleague," Moscow's foreign ministry reportedly said in a statement.

Here's what Musk did after a Tesla customer complained on Twitter

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Inc. 1 day ago Justin Bariso

Attention, all business leaders: This is how to use social media.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Nobody uses Twitter as skillfully as Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

On Friday evening, Tesla customer Paul Franks tweeted the following:

can you guys program the car once in park to move back the seat and raise the steering wheel? Steering wheel is wearing. - Paul Franks (@pjfranks1509) August 19, 2017

Just 24 minutes later, the famous CEO replied with the following message:

Good point. We will add that to all cars in one of the upcoming software releases. -- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 19, 2017

Now that's how an effective CEO uses social media.

What's missing from this exchange is what we see in many companies: making excuses, shifting blame or responsibility to another department, or some other form of stalling that usually results in the death of good ideas.

In contrast, this is an example of active listening and bias for action.

Of course, this exchange illustrates the competitive advantage Tesla holds over competitors, as Elektrek's Jameson Dow explains:

One of the things Tesla is able to do, as a smaller company, is to make changes a lot more quickly than larger companies can. It also helps that Tesla's cars are capable of over-the-air updates, so if a feature is missed, it can be added later in a software update. Most manufacturers would add these as part of a new model year, in order to entice owners to upgrade their cars, but since the cost of the upgrade is so minor to Tesla, there's no reason not to push the software out to every owner. This keeps customers happy and keeps them evangelizing the brand, resulting in high customer satisfaction numbers.

The beauty, of course, is how Musk continues to work that competitive advantage, time and time again.

A Twitter Master

There's a lot to learn from observing Musk's Twitter habits.

Like how he similarly addressed a separate customer complaint some months ago. Or the leadership lessons he taught via this 19-word tweet to the SpaceX team. Or how about the time he shared the epic story behind Tesla's beginnings--in just five tweets?

Musk can't please all customers, though--and he refuses to try.

When one customer complained about older Tesla models not benefiting from newer technology, Musk didn't hold back:

Tesla will never stop innovating. People are buying the wrong car if they expect this. There will be major revs every 12 to 18 months. -- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 22, 2017

The key though, and what separates Musk from most other CEOs, is that he's actually listening--and responding.

Take a look at Musk's tweets, and you'll see this isn't some PR team putting their heads together to form appropriate responses. This isn't a social-media specialist that has to get everything approved by the higher-ups.

This is the (very smart) chief executive officer of one of the most innovative companies in the world, actively looking for feedback--and using it to solve problems.

Come to think of it, maybe it's not so complicated after all.

Sister of sailor missing is frustrated with Navy’s lack of information

The Navy dismissed the commander of its 7th Fleet "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command."

Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin oversaw the fleet that has endured two deadly collisions in the last few months.

That includes a collision involving the USS John S. McCain this month off Singapore.

We still have no word on the metro sailor missing after that collision, Petty Officer First Class Charles Findley.

Findley's sister still lives in the metro and says she has no idea where her brother is, and says the Navy is keeping it's lips sealed with any information.

"Really just not knowing is a huge part of what is so hard about this. They're not communicating with us at all," says 34-year-old Toni Greim, Charlie's Findley's older sister.

"Charles and I spent pretty much all of our childhood attached at the hip," Greim said. "We moved around a lot as children with a Navy dad."

After growing up in Parkville, then later attending Central High School in St. Joseph, Findley got his GED.

Relatives say Findley developed his self-esteem, overcame several personal obstacles and joined the Navy, where he works as an electronics technician.

"He was really into computers. That's what he loved to do," Greim added.

When the Navy destroyer collided with a merchant ship, 31-year-old Findley was aboard the vessel off the waters of Singapore.

As of Tuesday, Navy officials confirmed five sailors were hurt and 10 others are missing.

"It's crazy how much he excelled. He's always graduated first of his class. He became First Class. He's getting awards; he's sailing around the world; he fell in love with a woman named Riho and married her," Greim said.

Tuesday, Navy officials began identifying some sailors' remains, but Greim said they aren't getting any other information.

"All we're waiting for is answers, and no one is giving us any information," Greim said. "I want to know where my brother is. I want to know what's taking so long."

Findley has an 8-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son who live in Virginia with their mom.

"We still don't know where my brother is and also the other men that are with my brother, they're missing too. And families are wondering, where are their loved ones?" Greim said. "I probably have lost my little brother, and now we're on day three, day four, and he could have been electrocuted. He could have drowned. I don't know what's happening."

A Navy spokesman would only say as of Tuesday night, Petty Officer First Class Findley's "whereabouts remain unknown."

Ranking Fighters on UFC 329 Main Card 🔢

Years of trash talk led to months of hype, which will all finally culminate in a grand Saturday night spectacle when Floyd Mayweather squares off against Conor McGregor at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The intrigue around this event goes far beyond boxing, though. If this fight was all about what will happen in the ring, there likely wouldn't be much drama. But that doesn't mean there won't be entertainment value. When two showmen like Mayweather and McGregor occupy center stage, it's difficult to look away.

We've brought together our panel of boxing and MMA experts- Jeremy Botter, Chad Dundas, Lyle Fitzsimmons, Kevin McRae and Jonathan Snowden -to give their thoughts on all the talking points ahead of the weekend's festivities. The panel is unsurprisingly high on Mayweather's chances, but there are a range of opinions on what we'll see in the days leading up to the fight, just how badly Conor will lose and what's next for both fighters.

Read on to see the B/R staff's predictions on anything and everything Mayweather-McGregor.

Cleveland Browns Protest during national anthem.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Ohio Supreme Court justice and Vietnam veteran is criticizing a group of Cleveland Browns players who prayed in a circle to protest silently during the national anthem.

Bill O'Neill wrote on Facebook that he won't attend any games at which "draft dodging millionaire athletes" disrespect veterans - adding "shame on you all."

The Monday protest involved a group of 12 mostly black Browns players joined by two of their white teammates. Such protests have increased in the league following then San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's custom last year of taking a knee during the anthem to protest police brutality.

"Respect to all the veterans, respect to the military - we are not protesting against them. We have our reasons for doing what we did, and last night felt like the right time to do it, and that's why we did it," Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey told Fox 8 on Tuesday.

The response from O'Neill comes as the NAACP has requested a meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss why Kaepernick has not been signed by any team in the NFL and 1,000 people rallied in support of him outside the NFL's headquarters in Midtown Manahttan.

"No player should be victimized and discriminated against because of his exercise of free speech - to do so is in violation of his rights under the Constitution and the NFL's own regulations," NAACP Interim President Derrick Johnson.

The NFL has suffered ratings decreases since the protests began, with some fans objecting to what they see as a lack of patriotism, and others boycotting games in protest of Kaepernick's plight.

Despite currently being unemployed, Kaepernick has donated nearly $1 million to charitable and activist groups since beginning his protests.

ACLU posted a picture on Twitter of a white baby holding an American flag and wearing a ACLU onesie and they got a lot of backlash. They captioned the photo "This is the future that ACLU members want." This caused people to say they are racially insensitive.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The ACLU got a big lesson in political correctness after posting a photo of a white baby holding an American flag to its Twitter page - and has backed off after social media trolls accused the free-speech group of promoting Nazis.

"This is the future that ACLU members want," the ACLU captioned a photo of a blonde baby wearing an ACLU "free speech" onesie and holding a small American flag.

That was all it took. A flurry of tweets from ACLU followers slammed the group, suggesting it was being racially insensitive and even likening the post to pro-Nazi commentary.

The ACLU tried to calm the waters.

"When your Twitter followers keep you in check and remind you that white supremacy is everywhere," the national ACLU account posted, adding a gif of Kermit the Frog over the text, "That's a very good point."

The group followed up with another tweet to clarify what it wants to promote is babies in ACLU onesies.

"PSA: The future we want is babies in ACLU onesies. For more cute ACLU babies, follow us on Instagram!" the tweet said, linking to its official Instagram page.

The group posted a similar photo earlier this month. The Instagram post showed two side-by-side photos of a brunette baby-one in a Women's March onesie and the other in the free-speech onesie.

"This is the future that ACLU members want. #babies #babiesofinstagram #babyfashion #aclu," the group posted.

It did not appear to receive the same criticism as the blonde baby.

The ACLU did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.

The ACLU has taken heat from the left for months, after the civil rights group expressed support for the First Amendment rights of conservative Milo Yiannopoulous and alt-right groups.

The ACLU announced last week that it would no longer defend groups that brought guns to demonstrations.
