Excellent article by @germanrlopez for the @nytimes about a big, important problem in the US: Most crimes aren’t solved. If you murder someone, it’s essentially a coin flip whether you’ll be arrested for it. If you steal a car, you’ll almost certainly get away with it. Increasing the probability that would-be offenders get caught has a huge deterrent effect. (There is lots of strong empirical evidence showing this.) I genuinely believe that doing so is our ticket out of mass incarceration. It’s time to start investing time, energy, and money in finding ways to increase solve rates.

Seems like Memphis needs to copy this …
"The city also credits a police crackdown on so-called ghost cars with reducing fatalities...The police have seized more than 20,000 ghost cars since 2022 — cars with fake tags or plates that obscured by camera-proof screens, stickers or tape." nytimes.com/2025/07/02/nyreg…

We had to adjust planned Spring Break trip because a visitor center was closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
As the Trump administration slashed the federal workforce, nearly 1,000 National Park Service employees were laid off, sparking protests across the country. From Acadia to Zion, former rangers and park lovers are rallying to protect America’s cherished public lands. Click the bio link to watch the full interview. cbsn.ws/8093

Always a treat to read @tsnmike — and fun to recall Pastner best year (2012-13 … 31-5!).
I’ve known Josh Pastner since he was a 17-year-old basketball savant. Few have been more fun to talk with about the game, and Josh has loved doing that on TV. But he believes he has a lot more wins in him as a coach and would love to get that shot soon. 👇 sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-bas…

This list is from a doctor who i know has practiced strong journalism. Here’s hoping more journalists will elevate (especially finding local/regional angles).
Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

We lost a good one, Memphis. Breen Bland was a dear friend and my family was blessed to consider him our forever neighbor, no matter our address. Honor him by eating a great meal, enjoying a great drink, experiencing great art (and tip/donate generously). canalefuneraldirectors.com/o…

Anyway i’d challenge any in sports media to say they’d put $10,000 on SMU to win vs. Bama, Miami, Ole Miss or So. Carolina on neutral field (or on Dallas for that matter). They wouldn’t — just like last year with FSU they wouldn’t have put $$$ where the righteous indignation was.

I do think ACC deserved 2 teams. Miami has biggest gripe of any team, i think.

what @JWright929espn would (or should) be optimal line for SMU vs.: Alabama Miami Ole Miss South Carolina
