Cats are nature's fuzziest little killers. But sometimes pet owners don't want their dead prey to end up in the house. Enter Amazon engineer Ben Hamm. Hamm is the owner of a “sweet, murderous cat” named Metric, who is fond of killing birds and bringing them inside. Metric is the reason Hamm learned to code. He initially got the fuzzball to help with a rat infestation problem."He turned out to be a pitiless, unrelenting serial killer," the engineer said in jest during a presentation at 502

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi stole the show Thursday in the team's first preseason game with an 86-yard punt return for a touchdown against the Washington Redskins. But even the most diehard fans didn't know his name before that play.The 24-year-old's path to the NFL is unlike any other. He wasn't the standout player on a college team. He didn't rise above the rest in the NFL's Scouting Combine. In fact, he last played football on the junior college level. He was also out of cash with nowhere to sleep before he talked his way into a longshot walk-on role in the pros.Four months ago, the 637

Democratic presidential contender New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is joining the chorus of legal challenges against the Trump administration's public charge rule that makes it harder for immigrants to obtain green cards if they've received or are likely to receive government benefits.A new lawsuit, led by New York state, argues that federal rule disregards congressional intent and decades of case law.De Blasio said Tuesday that "the ultimate city of immigrants" is fighting against "President Trump's xenophobic policies."This is at least the fourth lawsuit brought against the rule, which was announced earlier this month, including a multi-state challenge led by California, filed late last week. The rule means many green card and visa applicants could be turned down if they have low incomes or limited education, and have used benefits such as most forms of Medicaid, food stamps, and housing vouchers, because they'd be deemed more likely to need government assistance in the future.Defending the rule, acting US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli, said it will encourage "self-reliance and self-sufficiency for those seeking to come to or stay in the United States."New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is challenging the federal government in the latest lawsuit, said the rule specifically targets immigrants of color."Make no mistake. We are in the midst of another great challenge, and the Trump administration's thinly veiled efforts to only allow those who meet their narrow ethnic, racial, and economic criteria to enter is a clear violation of the laws and will be met with a very, very strong response," James said at a press conference Tuesday.James added that her parents were on public assistance and this rule will exclude black and brown people who would be elected to public office."It's important we understand this country is about equality for all individuals," she said. "We are fighting for the soul of our nation," James said.The lawsuit is filed in the Southern District of New York and is joined by Connecticut, Vermont, and New York City. 2121

Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that as the U.S. military prepares for another potential wave of the coronavirus, it may do things a bit differently, providing more targeted aid for cities and states and possibly shorter quarantine times for troops.Speaking as he flew back from a trip to the Marine Corps recruit base at Parris Island, South Carolina, Esper said the Pentagon is looking at a variety of plans. But he said U.S. forces may not be deployed the same way if or when the virus surges in a second large wave or even, more likely, a series of smaller bursts.He also said that the military has already started doing antibody tests on service members who had COVID-19 and recovered, in order to determine if their plasma can be used in others to prevent or treat the virus.Esper said he spoke with military service leaders the other day and asked if they would be interested in getting units of blood or plasma to send aboard ships or with deployed forces to use as needed. And he said they all responded that it would be helpful. Esper said he has taken the test to see if he has the virus antibodies but doesn’t yet have the results.Unlike the nasal swab tests being used to diagnose active infections, antibody tests look for blood proteins called antibodies, which the body produces days or weeks after fighting an infection. The blood test could show if someone had the coronavirus in the recent past, which most experts think gives people some protection.It’s not yet known what antibody level would be needed for immunity or how long any immunity might last and whether people with antibodies can still spread the virus.The Pentagon, Esper said, is also taking a broad look at how best to respond to any future outbreaks.Noting that a lot of the military aid rushed to communities as the pandemic struck ended up going unused or was used much less than anticipated, he said the military may send medical staff rather than entire hospital ships and Army field hospitals.The two U.S. Navy hospital ships that went to New York City and Los Angeles, for example, treated few patients. And Army field hospitals deployed to other cities also got less use than initially anticipated. Instead, they ended up pulling doctors and nurses out of those facilities and sending them to local hospitals, where they could bolster overworked and stressed medical staffs.“I think that’s a big lesson learned,” Esper said.Saying that he and Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, think the virus may come back in smaller waves, Esper said the result may be that the military may be more likely to provide personal protective equipment and doctors to cities in need.“If one were to assume that the biggest wave that hit is the first wave, we’ve demonstrated that we have the hospital capacity, the ventilator capacity, all those other,” Esper said. “If we can handle that first wave, we can handle anything else after that.”Esper added that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the federal government’s top infectious-disease expert, and Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, suggested in a recent Pentagon meeting that a 14-day quarantine may not be necessary. He said they thought fewer days might work, and the Pentagon is looking at that idea now. 3295
