Yet if Lee, Andrade and the rest of the contenders were nervous, it hardly showed. Andrade’s near-perfect Cheng vault gave her an early lead, but Lee used her spectacular uneven bars set — the hardest one currently being done in competition — to pull closer.

The sale brings to a close an 11-year effort by seller Russ Rosenzweig to sell the five-bedroom, 4,500-square-foot Art Moderne-style mansion, which was built in 1938 and sold by Rebori to shoe heiress and sculptor Lillian Florsheim in 1946. Constructed as a single-family house with a separate guesthouse, the mansion was expanded in the 1950s by Goldberg, who was Florsheim’s son-in-law. Goldberg designed a link between the two structures in the form of a long, galley-style kitchen that now provides indoor access to both the kitchen and the guesthouse. Of late, the mansion has been used as a single-family house and as a bed-and-breakfast inn.
The Bears placed the franchise tag on Allen Robinson and were unable to negotiate a long-term extension for their top receiver. Robinson will make just under $18 million this season on the tag. … Marquise Goodwin agreed to a one-year, $1.2 million deal in April. … The team used a sixth-round pick to draft North Carolina’s Dazz Newsome. … Damiere Byrd signed a one-year, $1.1 million deal in May. … The Bears traded Anthony Miller, a 2018 second-round pick, to the Houston Texans last weekend.
Virtue learned about her close contact a few days after arriving in Tokyo and immediately was remanded to “COVID jail,” as quarantine has been derisively referred to here. For the next five days, she remained inside her room at all times, unable to even step outside for fresh air or grab food. Instead, she had meals dropped at her door by UberEats or U.S. volleyball members.
The uptick in ride-share prices was enough to convince Mike Morgan and his wife, Elena, to rely on the “L to get around the city on a recent trip from California, though it sometimes meant waking up earlier. But midmorning one weekday they were running late, and took a ride-share the roughly 1 mile from their hotel to Navy Pier. The cost: $15.
In all, Dressel could leave Tokyo with six medals, which would be two short of Michael Phelps’ historic eight golds in 2008. He’s been advertised as one of the faces of the Summer Games and a focus of media coverage when he’d rather “just shut up and swim,” as he put it before the Olympics.
“He saw a first-pitch slider that he fouled off, so I felt comfortable going up with a fastball,” Hendriks said. “I didn’t get it quite in enough and this is why he was the All-Star starting catcher this year. The guy hits fastball. The guy does a good job but I trust my fastball to anybody. Today it didn’t work out unfortunately. It just sucks because those guys spent nine, 10 innings out there in this heat, grinding it out to a point where I couldn’t get my job done and it was just frustrating.”
“It’s basic math that if we take those federal dollars, and we use those federal dollars to create full-time positions at high numbers, that within a couple of years, when those federal dollars are gone, we will not have the funds to pay for those positions,” Board President Miguel del Valle said before issuing a warning: “The cliff is going to be there. And so as a board, it’s our obligation to make sure, as I said, that we mitigate it, that we try to lessen the blow that’s inevitable.”
Bryant, a museum curator at the National Museum of African American History & Culture, also chaired a similar review commission in Baltimore, which voted to remove a handful of Confederate statues. All of Baltimore’s Confederate monuments were removed following the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, according to Bryant.
