Georgia gym teacher fixes kindergartener's ponytail in adorable viral video

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hardworking educators know that there's much more to their job than simply teaching, perhaps explaining why a video clip of one Georgia teacher fixing his kindergarten student's ponytail during gym class has gone massively viral on Facebook with over three million views.

Two weeks ago, W.G. Nunn Elementary School assistant kindergarten teacher Kandice Anderson shared video footage of phys-ed teacher Jonathan Oliver styling young Kristen Paulk's hair into a ponytail at her request during a basketball game in gym, Good Morning America reports, which has since won over 30,000 likes and more than 400 shares on the social media platform.
BRIDE INVITES BRIDESMAIDS TO WEAR THEIR OWN WEDDING GOWNS TO NUPTIALS
"When your job goes beyond teaching... #CoachO #LoveIt," Anderson captioned the sweet twenty-second clip of the Valdosta scene.

Though the small gesture evidently struck a heartstring with many, Oliver told the outlet that he never expected the clip to win such widespread attention - nor did he even realize he was being filmed.

"It was shocking to me that it got that much attention because we all do it," Oliver, a father of three, told GMA. "We [teachers] want to make them feel like they're at home and that they enjoy being here."

"We try to love on them as much as possible. To me, it was just a ponytail," he added.

Likewise, Paulk's mom, Miyah Cleckley, told GMA that the delightful clip earned her stamp of approval.

"I always know that Kristen is in very good hands with him," Cleckley said of the teacher - though she wasn't surprised that Paulk felt confident enough to ask him for help with her hair.

"I thought it was really cute because her father he does their hair a lot. We have five girls and one son so when I'm working he has to pick up the weight of doing their hair," she detailed.

Oliver, meanwhile, said he's just glad that Paulk asked for a simple style.

"It was a good thing she asked for a ponytail," the 34-year-old educator told GMA. "Anything else, I'd say, 'You better ask your mom.'"

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick may remain unsigned, but Nike unveiled a new "Icon" jersey in his honor on Wednesday.

Kaepernick announced the news on Twitter just days after he and Carolina Panthers safety with the Eric Reid reached a settlement NFL in their collusion grievances:

Per Nike's website: "The Kaepernick Icon Jersey is a celebration of those who seek truth in their communities, and those who remain true to themselves."

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was seen sporting the Icon jersey during Super Bowl earlier this month. The jerseys are now available for purchase for $150.

Kaepernick has not been on an NFL roster since he opted out of the final year of his contract with San Francisco following the 2016 season when he began protesting racial injustice and police violence by kneeling during the national anthem. However, he remained a Nike athlete even as he remained an NFL free agent. Nike found itself at the center of attention after opting to use Kaepernick for a campaign back in September:

Now, Nike is once again showing its support for its controversial star.

Father accused of beating, raping twin daughters sentenced

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 52-year-old Minneapolis man accused of beating and raping his mentally disabled twin daughters has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Hennepin County Judge Fred Karasov sentenced the man Wednesday for crimes committed against the women when they were teenagers, and for endangering his third daughter, who is a juvenile.

One of the twins said in a victim impact statement that their father "hurt, used and abused the whole family." The statement said the woman hoped her father would spend the rest of his life chained up the same way he had chained his two daughters to their beds and door .

The twins, now 22-years-old, were not at the hearing. The Associated Press is not naming the father to avoid identifying the women.

The man pleaded guilty last week to first-degree criminal sexual conduct, first-degree assault and gross misdemeanor child endangerment. Six other counts were dismissed under a plea deal.

Lebron in is danger of missing the playoffs ending an 8 year streak where his team has played in the NBA finals every year since 2011

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
LeBron James has been so good for so long that it's easy to forget just how astounding some of his accomplishments are. For example, he currently owns one of the greatest ongoing streaks in sports: His team has made the NBA Finals in eight straight seasons, starting in 2011. That's mind-blowing in a league where a single finals appearance can be the highlight of a player's entire career - and he's done it for two different franchises.

Of course, everyone knew it would be hard for James to keep that streak going this season after moving from the Cleveland Cavaliers - and the relative ease of the Eastern Conference - to the Los Angeles Lakers and the scary West. The thing that has taken NBA observers by surprise is the reason why the finals streak might not happen: James's Lakers are in real danger of not making the playoffs at all.

According to our NBA projection model, Los Angeles currently has just a 26 percent probability of making the playoffs. L.A. sits a game under .500 in the West's No. 10 slot, three games back of the eighth-seeded Clippers with 25 games left on the schedule, and it will face the league's ninth-toughest schedule down the stretch. The Lakers' only saving grace is that, at full strength, our model thinks they're the West's eighth-best team, significantly better than both the Clippers and the No. 9 Sacramento Kings. But it will be a race to the finish that James hasn't had to worry about in a very long time.

The last LeBron-led team to miss the postseason entirely was the 2004-05 Cavs, in James's second NBA season. They went 42-40 - which has traditionally been good enough to make the playoffs in the East - but lost out on a tiebreaker with the New Jersey Nets (who beat Cleveland 3-1 in the season series). Talent-wise, that team was a far cry from even later versions of the Cavs that would be prematurely bounced out of the playoffs: Journeyman guard Jeff McInnis was second on the team in minutes behind LeBron, and low-scoring swingman Ira Newble was also a full-time starter. (The next scoring options behind James were Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Drew Gooden.) James himself had not yet fully ascended to GOAT levels of performance, either, posting what would eventually be the fifth-worst Box Plus/Minus and fourth-worst win shares per 48 minutes of his career to date.

On paper, this season's Lakers should not be drawing comparisons to Jeff McInnis and Ira Newble. Although L.A.'s supporting cast didn't have the same immediate appeal as players in other potential free-agent destinations for James, it was assumed that the young quartet of Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and Lonzo Ball would build on their promising 2018 performances - particularly by playing alongside James - and mix with the Lakers' strange mishmash of veterans to make a functional team. But that hasn't consistently happened during James's debut campaign in purple and gold.

It's been a tough season for the young Lakers

Performance metrics for four Los Angeles Lakers prospects, 2018 vs. 2019

*Win shares per 48 minutes

†PIE% = Player Impact Estimate, a rough measure of the percentage of all positive on-court events (for both teams) the player accounted for.

Source: Basketball-Reference.com

Across a variety of metrics, LeBron's young sidekicks have mostly declined in performance this season, despite benefiting from an extra year of development and getting to play next to one of the greatest offensive creators in NBA history. Only Kuzma can credibly say he has shown any amount of improvement, increasing his usage rate and true shooting percentage while reducing his turnover rate. The rest - particularly Ingram, whose advanced stats have slid into an abyss - have stalled out or worse, and none has even amounted to a league-average player, according to the consensus of metrics.

Making matters worse, it could be argued that those four cost Los Angeles a shot at trading for New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis at the deadline (assuming that former Pelicans GM Dell Demps ever actually intended to deal Davis). If even a few of the Lakers' youngsters had played well this season, showing the requisite star potential to be included in a trade package for Davis, it's possible that L.A. would have been penciling a LeBron-AD duo into its lineup for a playoff push this year. Instead, it's left waiting for Hart and Ball to return from injury and hoping the kids can play better down the stretch.

The veterans haven't exactly helped much, either. JaVale McGee and Tyson Chandler are an efficient pairing of defensive bigs, and both are above average in win shares per 48 - the most charitable stat for each - while shooting guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the recently acquired Reggie Bullock are at least in the vicinity of average in the metric. (As is new power forward Mike Muscala.) But Rajon Rondo has shot the ball poorly this season, and Lance Stephenson hasn't been an effective player in years. All told, James's supporting cast hasn't been appreciably better than the one he fled in Cleveland after last season.

And it bears mentioning that James himself has not been as statistically dominant as in his last few seasons as a Cavalier. His usage rate, true shooting percentage, assist rate, rebound rate, steal rate, block rate and defensive BPM are all down from last year. He's shooting worse on twos, threes and free throws. And most concerning, the 34-year-old missed 18 games between Christmas and early February with a groin injury, and he's played only 49.5 percent of the Lakers' available minutes this season - by far the lowest mark of his career.

James did tell reporters over All-Star weekend that he "feels great," though, and that he's ready to lead a playoff push for Los Angeles.

"[I'm] looking forward to seeing what we can do to get back in this playoff race," James said. "That's the only thing that's going to happen in my mental space for these next two months, pretty much on how I can get this team playing the type of level of basketball we were playing before my injury."

The Lakers will need to summon all of James's focus and talent to storm back into the playoff picture. It's more than possible, particularly if James is indeed healthy. But our projections are still low for a LeBron team even after accounting for James's return to the lineup - and the fact that the Clippers were sellers at the trade deadline. (That's why we give L.A. a 26 percent chance, while simpler forecasts such as the one at Basketball-Reference.com peg its odds at about 5 percent.) And even if the Lakers do make the playoffs, they would probably end up being heavy underdogs against the Golden State Warriors in the first round.

The Lakers' long-term future should be brighter: The team will have plenty of cap space to use on free agents surrounding James and plenty of superstar options to choose from (in addition to the ongoing potential of a Davis trade). For now, though, James's finals streak has a real chance of ending far earlier than anybody expected: April 10, the final day of the 2018-19 NBA regular season.

Space Jam was one of the biggest kids movie in the 90's. The biggest basketball player to ever play in 90's was in the movie and everybody was excited to see him and that player was michael jordan. The new one is going to have best basketball player of 2k's which is lebron james. The offical release date was released yesterday and is set to release july 16, 2021

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The release date for Space Jam 2 has been announced - so clear your diary for 16th July 2021.

SpringHill Entertainment broke the news on Twitter - that's the production company co-founded by athlete LeBron James, who stars in the movie.

He takes over from Michael Jordan, who appeared in the original film in 1996 alongside fellow basketball stars Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing.

This isn't LeBron's first acting gig - he had a supporting role in Trainwreck, starring actress Amy Schumer.

Bugs Bunny and his love interest Lola will reprise their roles, and the former will be voiced by Eric Bouza.

Eric is currently the only voice actor confirmed for the movie.

Space Jam 2 will be produced by Ryan Coogler, known for his work on Marvel Studios' Black Panther, and will be directed by Terence Nance, the creator of HBO's Random Acts of Flyness.

If you're not up to speed - here's a quick recap.

In the original movie, Michael Jordan is drafted by Bugs Bunny to help Looney Tunes characters in a basketball game against evil aliens from an amusement park in space, known as Moron Mountain.

Bugs and his friends including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, the Tasmanian Devil and others will be forced to work at Moron Mountain if they lose the game.

Michael is reluctant at first, but eventually agrees.

What he and the Tune Squad don't realise is that the aliens have stolen talents from other basketball stars on earth in order to win.

They're bossed around by owner of the amusement park, Mr Swackhammer, voiced by Danny DeVito.

Bill Murray also makes an appearance, playing himself.

Twitter users have mixed reactions to the sequel, with some people sharing funny memes and others making guesses on who else will appear in the new film.

The full plot for Space Jam 2 is yet to be revealed, but we do know that Bugs has aged well - it's now 23 years later and he looks exactly the same.

Warner Bros are the makers of the original, which grossed $230 million worldwide, the equivalent of nearly £177 million at today's prices.

A school in Texas City, Texas has implemented new security systems taking very severe measures

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
TEXAS CITY, TEXAS -- One Lone State state school district is arming guards with AR-15s, using facial recognition technology to control who comes inside buildings and even tracking students with chip technology -- all in a bid to become the safest school system in the nation.

The extraordinary measures are the brainchild of a former Secret Service agent who drew from his experience to come up with an ambitious security plan.

"We're not playing around. This isn't some kind of little game to us. We put a lot of time, money, and effort into this," said Rodney Cavness, superintendent of schools for the Texas City Independent School District.

Cavness said district officials took on the initiative last year, days after the shooting in nearby Santa Fe High School. The shooting, which happened minutes down the road from Texas City, left 10 people dead.

CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
"I think we're living in a sick society, and there are some very deeply troubled people out there that want to do harm to kids and to campuses and to teachers, and we're not going to let that happen," said Cavness.

Cavness created a new position for security and school safety and hired Mike Matranga, who was a Secret Service agent for 12 years.

Some of the measures have already been implemented. Students and staff wear radio frequency identification cards, capable of tracking their whereabouts in school. They've lined glass doors with intrusion filming, making them impact resistant.

"What we're trying to do is buy time, and by buying time and by having a deputy on campus or multiple deputies on campus, that time allows our deputies to respond and do their job," said Matranga.

Every deputy in each school also receives an AR-15, which is kept in a safe that can only be unlocked with a code.

HOW CAN THE U.S. DO A BETTER JOB OF KEEPING KIDS SAFE AT SCHOOL
"These are the weapons we purchased for our deputies. I'm a firm believer that we fight firepower with superior firepower," said Matranga.

In May, Texas City voters approved a $6.5 million bond for safety and security measures.

"I would vote for anything in favor of protecting my children," said Justin Graves, a parent with a child at Heights Elementary School.

"I'm in support of the security measures they implemented. It gives me a sense of security," said Trisha Jones, who also has children at the school.

Within the last year, several schools across the country rolled out or approved funding for security upgrades. Santa Fe High School put up metal detectors and hired more officers. Schools in Wisconsin received safety grants from the state last year, and many used the money to install security cameras and new classroom door handles. In Florida, Broward County outlined security plans last summer in response to the Parkland shooting.

Ken Trump, president of National School and Security Services and no relation to the U.S. president, said Texas City's security measures seem to be the most intensive for a school district.

"This district seemed to gather a lot of attention because they put a whole lot of money in a short period of time," said Trump.

But, he has concerns.

"The question isn't really whether school safety is the top priority now, but six months down the road when the memories of Parkland fade, will there be the same investment not only in time and dollars but the people?" said Trump.

Ed Scruggs, vice chair of Texas Gun Sense, said certain technological features like facial recognition and new door locks will be effective. But, he said, other preventative measures outside of a school environment are also necessary.

"More universal background checks on gun sales, better mental health, better background check system... if we can keep guns out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them, we're going to automatically be safer," said Scruggs.

Meanwhile, Matranga said he believes there is no substitute to having eyes and ears on the ground and reporting suspicious behavior. Ultimately, he said, teachers are the best line of defense.

"It's not about the camera system. It's not about the electronic locks. Though we're doing that, it's about investing in people," Matranga said, "and that's the key."

A former University of Kansas volunteer volleyball coach was arrested earlier this month for allegedly stealing dozens of pairs of underwear from female players and cataloging them in his home, authorities said.

Lawrence police say they searched the home of Skyler N. Yee, 23, earlier this month after linking him to a series of break-ins on campus. Police said they found a "roughly 40-drawer" plastic storage container, labeled with the names of current and former players. A pair of underwear was found in each labeled drawer.

Another container held more pairs of women's underwear, the Lawrence Journal-World reported. Also found were pink high heels, boots, a sundress and a jumpsuit -- other belongings that players had reported missing.

Police further recovered items from unidentified owners, including more stolen underwear, bras, Halloween costumes, jewelry, and sex toys, according to the paper.

Investigators told the paper they believed that Yee did not steal the items for financial gain, but rather for "his own motivation." The alleged thefts had begun in December 2017 and continued for more than a year, police said.

Yee, who resigned his post in mid-January, was charged with 15 counts of burglary, property damage and theft, the paper reported.

"That's just who we are," Portnoy told Fox News during a candid side-by-side conversation with Nardini at Barstool's New York City headquarters. "We create content at Barstool Sports for people who like Barstool Sports. We're not trying to appease people who don't like us. Everyone is just so sensitive now about everything."

Barstool employees have been accused of everything from encouraging online harassment by its fans to using derogatory language about women. The site's content is often vulgar, alleged marital infidelity of one of the brand's biggest stars has become tabloid fodder, and Portnoy was physically removed from the Super Bowl earlier this month amid an on-going feud with the National Football League -- but fans seem to embrace it all.

"We have an audience, we have a point of view, we do things differently and we're investing in that," Nardini said. "It's not that we're controversial. We're unafraid."

Portnoy started Barstool as a "gambling and sports" newspaper he distributed around Boston back in 2003 and things exploded from there. He sold a majority stake of Barstool to The Chernin Group in early 2016, moving the company's headquarters from Boston to New York City in the process. Portnoy stuck around to oversee content and hired Nardini as the company's first CEO.

Since then, Barstool has added roughly 130 employees and partnered with socila media brands like Snapchat and Facebook. The company's podcasts bring in 25 million live streams per month and all together, over 1 billion minutes of Barstool content is consumed annually.

"The evaluation when Chernin invested the first time was $12.5 million, it's been revalued at $100 million," Portnoy said. "There has been explosive growth... far exceeding what the initial expectations were."

Barstool also runs a Sirius XM station, created a pizza review app, promotes amateur boxing matches, wants to invest in younger brands and sells a ton of merchandise. Commerce makes up roughly half of Barstool's revenue and a company spokesperson said it sold over $1 million worth of gear during the 2018 World Series alone.

When veteran technology executive Nardini joined Barstool in July 2016, it was more than a year before the emergence of the #MeToo era and a few months before Donald Trump's shock Election Day victory. Both events have altered the culture of many media companies, but Nardini didn't mess with Portnoy's formula, despite the changing landscape.

"The ethos of the company hasn't changed since I started it," Portnoy said. "I don't really care what people think about me... we've been able to stay true to that through the #MeToo movement, through everything."

Portnoy has complete confidence in the morals and ethics of everyone on his staff, and not catering to advertisers gives him an advantage over the "BuzzFeeds of the world," because he has the ability to turn down ad dollars.

"We just kind of stay true to ourselves," he said. "As a result people have become very attracted to the brand. If an advertiser doesn't like what we're saying, don't advertise."

As Barstool grows, its enemies become more ferocious. Barstool has been the subject of numerous unfavorable stories, was abruptly yanked off ESPN when old comments Portnoy made about the network's Samantha Ponder resurfaced, and the company is kept out of NFL events after a series of incidents upset league brass.

While the #MeToo era hasn't changed Barstool's approach, Portnoy admitted that his critics keep him on his toes and it's his responsibility to ensure content doesn't go viral for the wrong reasons.

"Let's not just put the ball on a tee for them. Let's not just say things that you know will be used to attack us," Portnoy said. "Make sure it's funny. If it's funny, then still keep that same mantra we've always had."

Barstool's fan base, known as "Stoolies," has increased while digital media brands like BuzzFeed and HuffPost have been hit with recent layoffs. But Nardini thinks it's impossible for struggling mainstream brands to take a page from Barstool's playbook and have some fun, predicting a "large death" among digital media companies in 2019.

"You already see it," Nardini said.

She feels that a major issue for beleaguered media companies is that many of them depend solely on advertising to generate revenue, because the advertisers eventually dictate content - something Barstool won't consider because it puts Stoolies above profits.

"Advertisers like things that are PC and brightly lit," Nardini said. "As a result companies are now trying to diversify but it's very hard. Instead of choosing audience, which is what Barstool has always chosen, they chose revenue. We're really loyal to our audience."

Portnoy, who has referred to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as "an absolute idiot," credits him for helping Barstool maintain an "outsider, renegade, rebel vibe" despite being a massive company.

"We're fairly well established but he, more than any single other human, has done more for our marketing to keep that authenticity," Portnoy said. "He's been a real blessing."

Barstool essentially taunts the NFL honcho on a regular basis, dating back to the 2015 "Deflategate" incident that resulted in Portnoy's favorite team - the New England Patriots - landing in hot water for allegedly forcing a small amount of air from each of quarterback Tom Brady's footballs.

When Brady was eventually suspended by the league, Portnoy and three other Barstool staffers were arrested while protesting outside the NFL's Manhattan headquarters.

Barstool responded by creating the now-infamous merchandise featuring an image of Goodell wearing a clown nose. Anti-Goodell shirts quickly became popular in New England, while towels sporting the image were handed out at Patriots games. The shirts have been worn by everyone from Portnoy himself to Patriots assistant-turned-current Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia, embarrassing Goodell in the process.

The NFL remains unfriendly to Barstool as a result, and security guards literally dragged Portnoy out of the Super Bowl earlier this month. But Nardini didn't seem to mind watching her business partner get ejected from Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium -- especially since video of the moment quickly went viral.

"If you look at the top five players from the game, across social media, Dave Portnoy is No. 4 and he's not even an athlete," she said. "We had zero marketing dollars [invested]."

The NFL declined comment when reached by Fox News.

Portnoy's attitude regarding free speech has left him embraced by conservatives and he's often a guest of Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight," but the Barstool founder says he's not overtly political.

"My political party doesn't exist," Portnoy said. "I consider myself like a Libertarian, financially conservative and socially liberal, but Barstool has always stayed away from, for the most part, politics and religion."

Portnoy points his content producers away from these polarizing topics because he feels consumers already have their minds made up, rendering humor pointless.

"They won't even listen to the joke," he said.

Portnoy considers any brand that can potentially compete with Barstool for ad dollars as his competition, ranging from ESPN to comedy companies. But while Barstool has a variety of rivals when it comes to generating revenue, Portnoy doesn't see any peers when it comes to creating content.

"I don't think we have a competitor. We're pretty rare. I think, more often than not, people will be looking at what we do and trying to react to how we create content," Portnoy said. "I think we're generally ahead of the curve."

He feels that upstart sports media brand The Athletic, which is behind a paywall, isn't worth paying for and predicted far-left sports blog Deadspin "will be gone" in a couple of years.

The chaotic, two-floor Manhattan Barstool headquarters is cluttered and feels more like a frat house preparing to host a beer pong tournament than the office of a budding media empire. Many staffers wear sweatpants to the office and leadership makes sure to refer to its writers as "bloggers," as opposed to "journalists" or even "writers." The company is moving to a larger space later this year, complete with high-tech production facilities - but the staffers aren't expected to go corporate anytime soon.

"It's the same culture, the same people... it doesn't matter where we go, we Barstool-ize it," Portnoy said.

Barstool is home to sports satirists such as "Pardon My Take" hosts Big Cat and PFT Commenter - who are full-blown stars in the sports media landscape these days. But it is also home to "Call Her Daddy," a podcast that revolves around hosts Sofia Franklyn and Alexandra Cooper talking about their sex lives.

Barstool's next venture, "The Big Brain," involves a quest to find young companies or ideas to invest in, which Portnoy described as a cross between "The Apprentice" and "Shark Tank." He says everything including food, sports and sex make up the "lifestyle brand" that he envisions. As a result, he want to attract anyone who is willing to go through life without taking things too seriously.

"All these different pieces come together to create our world," Portnoy said.

Ironically, Portnoy is arguably more known for his pizza reviews than he is for sports, gambling or comedy. He started recording "One Bite" pizza reviews on a daily basis when he moved to New York and they attracted food enthusiasts from all walks of life - expanding his fan base from typical "Stoolies."

Portnoy initially didn't know if anyone would care about his idea to grade pizza parlors but it resonated with viewers so he stuck with it. The concept became so popular that Barstool launched a standalone "One Bite" app dedicated to reviewing pizza in 2018. "One Bite" now has the ability to determine the fate of a mom-and-pop pizza shop simply by receiving a strong score from Portnoy. Portnoy reviews a different slice of pizza on daily basis, whether he is in New York City or not, and the app allows users to post their own reviews.

Nardini feels the pizza reviews are the perfect example of what has made Barstool successful since it began as a low-risk experiment.

"A really talented person had a really good idea... we're seeing it has an impact on local business. That also creates business opportunities for us," she said, adding that Barstool might have created the largest directory of pizza in America.

"A lot of people do know me as the pizza guy and its opening up new people to Barstool and myself," he said. "We've proven, we can almost do anything."
