There's a different kind of patriot walking the streets of Nashville. He might look like Captain America but he doesn't call himself a superhero. Photojournalist Dan Blommel spent time documenting the man known as “The Shadow Patriot” – Nashville's citizen hero. Watch the video above. 298

The Supreme Court declined Monday to take up a case brought by a former student at a prestigious Washington, DC, prep school who alleged discrimination affected her chances for college admission.Dayo Adetu and her parents, Titilayo and Nike Adetu, say that the private Sidwell Friends School -- the elite school attended by a who's who of Beltway families, including presidential daughters Sasha and Malia Obama and Chelsea Clinton as well as former Vice President Joe Biden's granddaughter Maisy -- breached a settlement with the family after it allegedly discriminated against Adetu, an African-American, in the grades she received while in high school and then in materials Sidwell submitted as she applied to colleges."Sidwell has long been perceived as a 'feeder-school' to Ivy League institutions and other top universities," the Adetus wrote in their appeal to the Supreme Court. Adetu, however, was not immediately accepted by any university.The appeal was rejected without comment.During her initial first round of applications -- when she applied to Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Duke, Johns Hopkins, CalTech, MIT, the University of Virginia, McGill and Spelman -- Adetu "was the only student in her graduating class of 126 students who did not receive unconditional acceptance from any educational institution to which she applied," according to the Supreme Court petition.Adetu ultimately attended the University of Pennsylvania in 2015 after applying to colleges again, according to the complaint, and indicated on social media that she graduated last month.The family sought review of a decision by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in January that said the Adetus' claim was rightly rejected by a lower court because they had failed to show "any adverse action taken by Sidwell" and were only claiming emotional damages for an alleged breach of an earlier mediated settlement. 1932

Tokyo Olympic athletes beware — particularly larger ones.The bed frames in the Athletes Village at this year’s Olympics will be made of cardboard. Sturdy cardboard.“Those beds can stand up to 200 kilograms,” explained Takashi Kitajima, the general manager of the Athletes Village, speaking through an interpreter. That’s about 440 pounds, and surely no Olympic athlete weighs that much.“They are stronger than wooden beds,” Kitajima added.He also took into account the possibility of a wild room celebration after, say, a gold-medal victory.“Of course, wood and cardboard would each break if you jumped on them,” he said.The single bed frames will be recycled into paper products after the games. The mattress components — the mattresses are not made of cardboard — will be recycled into plastic products.The mattress is broken up into three distinct sections, and the firmness of each can be adjusted.The idea was to use materials that could be remade after the Olympics and Paralympics. But the cardboard frames and supports should give the rooms a spartan look. Organizers showed off the beds and a few other furnishings on Thursday at their headquarters. The entire Athletes Village complex will be completed in June. The Olympics open on July 24 followed by the Paralympics on Aug. 25.“The organizing committee was thinking about recyclable items, and the bed was one of the ideas,” Kitajima explained, crediting local Olympic sponsor Airweave Inc. for the execution.Organizers say this is the first time that the beds and bedding in the Athletes Village have been made of renewable materials.The Athletes Village being built alongside Tokyo Bay will comprise 18,000 beds for the Olympics and be composed to 21 apartment towers. Even more building construction is being planned in the next several years.Real estate ads say the units will be sold off afterward, or rented, with sale prices starting from about 54 million yen — or about 0,000 — and soaring to three or four times that much. Some fear the apartments will flood the market, possibly impacting property values.The units will be sold off by various real estate companies. Ads suggest many of the units will be slightly larger than a typical apartment in Tokyo, which is about 60-70 square meters — or 650-750 square feet.___More AP sports: 2322

The push to create environmentally-friendly products and to cease using single-use plastics is only gaining steam. The earth-conscious company Open Water ditched traditional plastic packaging long ago for eco-friendly aluminum. “Cans are recycled more often more efficiently than any other packaging material out there,” explains Open Water co-founder Nicole Doucet. “They don’t lose any quality in the process, so they can be recycled over and over again which is really cool.”The problem with plastic is that lately, even when tossed in a recycling bin, it isn’t always re-used. That’s because there aren’t enough facilities in the U.S. to process all the wasted plastic.Another problem with plastic?“They often don’t make it to recycling bins, so people just throw them in the trash or in the streets,” Doucet says.Open Water began five years ago, but only recently have sales really taken off. They credit an environmentally-conscious public.Just this week, Coca-Cola announced its flagship water brand Dasani would soon be sold in aluminum in addition to the traditional plastic, and companies like Coors are experimenting with ditching plastic rings for ones made out of biodegradable materialWhile those companies will now be a competitor of Open Water, the company’s founders say the end result is a less polluted planet.“Well I think it’s awesome,” Doucet says of the companies’ efforts to reduce plastic waste. “We started this company with idea we wanted to make a difference, and if we are pushing larger companies to go this way too, then I think it’s incredible. A great result for everyone.” 1618
