Will Shortz, the crossword editor for The New York Times, issued an apology after readers brought it to his attention that a racial slur was used in the New Year's Day edition of the crossword puzzle.In the Tuesday, Jan. 1 edition of the crossword, the answer to the clue in the 2-Down slot was "beaner." This is a racial slur used for Mexicans and people of Mexican descent. This definition is the first result to appear in Google when searching the term.The clue to 2-Down in Tuesday’s puzzle was “Pitch to the head, informally.”"Neither Joel (Fagliano) nor I had ever heard the slur before — and I don't know anyone who would use it," the response from Shortz reads. "Maybe we live in rarefied circles."The apology continued: “This is an issue that comes up occasionally with entries like GO O.K. (which we clued last April as “Proceed all right,” but which as a solid word is a slur), CHINK (which is benign in the sense as a chink in one’s armor,” etc. These are legitimate words."Responses to the apology on Twitter were mostly critical.

Twitter, reacting to growing concern about misinformation spread on social media, is banning all political advertising from its service. Its move strikes a sharp contrast with Facebook, which continues to defend running paid political ads, even false ones, as a free speech priority.“While internet advertising is incredibly powerful and very effective for commercial advertisers, that power brings significant risks to politics, where it can be used to influence votes to affect the lives of millions,” Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Wednesday in a 560

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — No one likes to talk about bunions, but they probably affect more people than you think. Doctors said millions of people have them, and there are more than 500,000 surgeries on them every year. Dr. Bradley Lamm with the Paley Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida has spent the last five years inventing an internal device and step-by-step technique.The device just came out this month, and he has completed 10 surgeries, including one on a Vero Beach woman who had heard the horror stories of trauma and pain from bunion surgeries."It has not been the case at all with this (surgery)," said the patient from Vero Beach.Lamm created an internal device called a mini bunion by crossroads."The reason this is so successful and lasts forever is that it corrects the bone alignment and soft tissue alignment all in one surgery through a small incision," Lamm said.A bunion is simply a bump on the inside of the big toe, which causes the big toe to drift towards the second toe and sometimes overlap. The pain caused by them can be extreme. Lamm described this as a minimally-invasive surgery where a device is entered through a tiny incision. "You get better motion and quicker recovery, back on their feet and regular shoes in one month," Lamm said.Now the burdensome bunion could be a thing of the past, especially for a once active woman, who loved walking and swimming. "I'm hoping to be able to get back into it again and that's very exciting for me because I gave up so much that I loved," said the patient from Vero Beach.This story was original published by 1598

The XFL is in its first season after a nearly two-decade hiatus. The league said it is committed to returning in 2021, despite its last foray into the pro sports world only lasting one season. "All players will be paid their base pay and benefits for the 2020 regular season," the XFL said in a statement. "All XFL ticket holders will be issued refunds or credit toward future games. The XFL is committed to playing a full season in 2021 and future years."As of now, the only major college or pro events slated to continue are from the PGA Tour and NASCAR.
