HOUSTON (AP) — President George H.W. Bush said a lot with socks.A visit from friend and fellow former president, Bill Clinton, inspired him to wear a pair emblazoned with Clinton's face. He wore Houston Texans' socks when meeting with the head coach. At the funeral for his wife, Barbara Bush, he wore socks featuring books as a tribute to her work promoting literacy.Bush, who was a naval aviator in World War II, will be buried this week wearing socks featuring jets flying in formation — a tribute, his spokesman says, to the former president's lifetime of service. The mayor of Houston urged people attending a City Hall tribute to Bush on Monday evening to wear colorful socks in memory of the former president, who died Friday at age 94 .Michael Meaux, who worked in the U.S. State Department under Bush's son, former President George W. Bush, sported a pair of hot-pink socks as he waited for Monday evening's tribute to begin."I've had them for a while, but I've never worn them before," Meaux said, laughing.Bush was one of several a high-profile figures to adopt a menswear trend of using socks to add a bit of flash to an outfit. Others include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The trend hit a peak in the men's market four years ago, said Marshal Cohen, a chief industry adviser of the market research firm NPD Group.It has endured, with color and novelty driving growth in the market, he said. And as menswear became more casual, socks replaced the tie as a conversation piece."Year after year we got more and more casual and the fun novelty sock became an opportunity of expression," Cohen said. "As we got rid of ties, guys still wanted to be able to put some style to a navy suit or a black suit."The socks can add some fun and color to an outfit, while also making a statement.Bush embraced the practice, and gave it meaning.In March, the former president tweeted a photo of himself wearing a brightly colored pair of "Down Syndrome Super Hero" socks sent to him by John Cronin, a 22-year-old New York man with Down syndrome who with his father runs an online business selling socks.Cronin's mother, Carol Cronin, said her son and Bush became "kind of sock buddies." Not long after starting John's Crazy Socks , John Cronin learned of Bush's love of colorful socks and sent him a box. After Barbara Bush died in April, it was Cronin who sent Bush the socks featuring books that he wore at her funeral.Carol Cronin said that when her son learned that it was Bush who signed the Americans with Disabilities Act banning workplace discrimination of people with disabilities and requiring improved access to public places and transportation, he felt their connection was "meant to be.""The inclusiveness that is envisioned by that legislation has changed his life and every other person who has a differing ability for the better," said Cronin, who noted that the majority of employees hired for the business have differing abilities.She said her son's idea of starting a sock business turned out to be a successful and fulfilling one."I think it lets people express themselves in a subtle way," she said.___Stengle reported from Dallas. 3164

If you like seeing the night sky light up like a Christmas tree, head outside this week to catch a glimpse at the Perseid meteor shower.It's considered the Northern Hemisphere's most popular meteor shower of the year.This year, it's been active since July, but it's set to peak this Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.NASA says the Perseids are best seen between about 2 a.m. and dawn.If you can't get out to have a look then, you may still be able to catch a glimpse of Perseid meteors the following two nights.Perseid meteors are caused by dust and debris left behind from the tail of the comet Swift-Tuttle. 620

In an interview with Axios, which aired Monday night, President Donald Trump said he again believes that his administration has the coronavirus pandemic "under control," despite the fact that deaths linked to the virus are currently on the rise throughout the country.When Axios reporter Jonathan Swan pointed out to Trump that deaths are on the rise, Trump said it's as "under control as much as you can control it.""(Americans) are dying, that's true, and it is what it is," Trump said. "But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control, as much as you can control it. This is a horrible plague that beset us."Trump also reiterated the false claim that virus cases are on the rise in the U.S. solely because the country is doing more testing than any other country."Because we're so much better at testing that any other country in the world, we show more cases," Trump said.While the U.S. is conducting more tests than any other country, other statistics, like hospitalizations linked to the virus and deaths linked to the virus, are currently on the rise. In addition, Johns Hopkins reports that 7.7 percent of all COVID-19 tests in the U.S. are coming back positive — in South Korea, the positive test rate currently sits at 0.9 percent.Trump also attempted to prove through statistics that the United States' mortality rate was among the best in the world. He handed Swan a piece of paper that showed the U.S. mortality rate was falling among a proportion of confirmed cases.Swan then pointed out that the United States ranked among the worst in the world when viewing COVID-19 deaths as a proportion of the population."You can't do that," Trump said.Trump also stated in the interview that some experts have said that "you can test too much." When asked who was saying that, Trump told Swan to "read the manuals, read the books."None of Trump's top health experts have publicly advocated for less testing. Earlier this year, Dr. Anthony Fauci and several other coronavirus task force members said during a House hearing that they had not been directed to "slow down" testing, and said it was the administration's goal to conduct more testing.During that same interview, Trump also told Swan that he "wasn't sure" how history would view the legacy of Rep. John Lewis. 2308

In a survey of 1,250 Americans who have a full-time job, 51% of millennials and 60% of those in Gen Z, say that the pandemic could cause them to delay their retirement. The survey was commissioned by Broadridge Financial Solutions.Millennials also were more likely to modify their retirement plan due to the pandemic. But older age groups were much more likely to adjust their reoccurring expenses and to withdraw from an emergency fund."Now more than ever employees are reliant on their employers to provide them with the proper tools and resources to meet their financial goals," said Cindy Dash, Senior Vice President at Matrix Financial Solutions, a Broadridge company. "What's very interesting is that two-thirds of respondents said they would leave their job if an employer took away a financial wellness benefit that is important to them. In navigating the aftermath of the pandemic, employers are going to face increased pressure to provide enhanced financial wellness benefits, especially if they reduced their offerings during the pandemic. If not, they will risk losing their valued employees." 1113

Hurricane Hunters have been flying in and out of Hurricane Laura continuously for days, getting a close-up look as the hurricane has rapidly intensified.In less than two days, Laura went from a tropical storm to a high-end Category 4. The storm is set to strike the Louisiana coast early Thursday morning.There are two Air Force Reserve groups that fly into hurricanes to send back data to the National Hurricane Center.In total, the Air Force Reserve utilizes 20 WC-130J aircraft that are equipped with palletized meteorological data-gathering instruments.According to the Hurricane Hunters, “The navigator keeps track of the aircraft's position and movement and monitors radar to avoid tornadic activity. The flight meteorologist acts as flight director and observes and records meteorological data at flight level using a computer that encodes weather data every 30 seconds. The weather reconnaissance loadmaster collects and records vertical meteorological data using a parachute-borne sensor known as a dropsonde. It measures and encodes weather data down to the ocean surface.”The following video was provided by the Hurricane Hunters: 1149
