The NCAA has announced Wednesday a series of major changes to college basketball in the hopes of eliminating corruption in the sport.The NCAA will now allow undergraduate students to participate in the NBA draft and return to school if they are not selected. Previously, players were allowed to attend the NBA combine but needed to withdraw 10 days prior to the draft in order to retain eligibility."Elite" high school prospects will now be permitted to be represented by an agent certified by the NCAA. According to CBS, USA Basketball will be tasked with choosing which prospects are considered "elite."The NCAA also announced major changes to the recruiting calendar, which the association hopes will allow recruits to attend more showcase events put on by high schools. Currently, apparel companies put on some of the most prestigious recruiting events.Finally, the NCAA will hold university presidents and chancellors personally accountable for their own athletics programs. The league declined to specify how the presidents and chancellors would be punished for the actions of their athletic departments.  1134

The jury in Bill Cosby's retrial found the TV icon guilty of all three counts of aggravated indecent assault on Thursday for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in a Philadelphia suburb in 2004.The 80-year-old comedian faces up to 10 years in prison on each count, but would likely serve them concurrently. A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled, and he remains out on bail.Cosby did not have an audible reaction to his conviction, but erupted shortly afterward. Minutes after the verdict, prosecutors asked the judge to revoke Cosby's bail because they say he is a flight risk and has a private plane.Cosby, who did not testify in the trial and has sat quietly throughout the proceedings, then stood up and yelled in a loud, booming voice: "He doesn't have a plane, you asshole."Judge Steven O'Neill ruled that Cosby should not leave his Pennsylvania home, and that he would need to be fitted with a GPS tracking device.What the case was aboutThe case against Cosby centered on testimony from Constand, a former employee with Temple University women's basketball team. She testified that Cosby, a powerful trustee at Temple, drugged her and sexually assaulted her when she visited his home to ask for career advice.Cosby's defense team argued that their interaction was consensual. Constand is a con artist, they argued, who wanted a piece of Cosby's fortune.After the trial concluded, Constand left through a side door in the courtroom, walking into a hallway with her arms around two women and a huge smile on her face.The case is the first celebrity sexual assault trial since the #MeToo movement began last fall, and as such, represents a test of how the cultural movement will translate into a courtroom arena.In closing arguments, defense attorney Kathleen Bliss positioned Cosby's legal team as standing up against "witch hunts, lynchings (and) McCarthyism."Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents many of the women who have accused Cosby of misconduct, said this was the happiest she had been with a verdict in 42 years."We are so happy that finally we can say, women are believed. And not only on #MeToo but in a court of law where they are under oath, where they testified truthfully, where they are attacked," Allred said. "After all is said and done, women were finally believed."Cosby's attorney, Tom Mesereau, said he plans to appeal "very strongly.""We are very disappointed by the verdict. We don't think Mr. Cosby's guilty of anything and the fight is not over," he said.The guilty verdict is a remarkable turn of events for the man once known as "America's Dad." Cosby was a groundbreaking actor and the first African-American performer to win an Emmy for his role on "I Spy." His portrayal of the sweater-loving Cliff Huxtable on "The Cosby Show" was one of the first mainstream TV shows to feature a black upper-middle class family.Previous trial ended in a hung juryAlthough dozens of women have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct, only Constand's allegations resulted in criminal charges."I feel like I'm dreaming," Lili Bernard, who has accused Cosby of assault, said afterward. "I feel like my faith in humanity is restored."The verdict came a year after Cosby's previous trial ended in a mistrial, as a different panel of jurors said they were deadlocked and could not unanimously agree on a verdict. This jury began deliberating Wednesday around 11 a.m., and worked for more than 14 hours over two days to reach the verdict.At the retrial, five other Cosby accusers testified as "prior bad acts" witnesses and said that Cosby had drugged and assaulted them decades ago. Prosecutors said these women's stories showed that Cosby had a pattern in his actions and did not make a one-time mistake in his interactions with Constand.The-CNN-Wire 3806

The pandemic has brought on a shortage of toilet paper, cleaning supplies and disinfectants. Now there's a new shortfall in the form of currency.The coin supply has been disrupted, forcing the Federal Reserve to step in.Like everything else in our lives, COVID-19 got in the way. This time it’s affecting the currency supply by causing fewer coins.Now, the U.S Mint is trying to keep up with the demand.Jim Gaherity of Coinstar, which has 22,000 kiosks around the world, says this is a call to action.“What’s happened during the pandemic is businesses have been shut down without access to buy your daily coffee, afternoon sandwich, which most purchases of small items is done by cash,” Gaherity said. “In the US, the ability of the consumer to recirculate that coin back into the retail, which then goes back into the bank, slowed down significantly.”The 29-year-old company is mainly featured in grocery stores and banks. People come in with loose change and get a voucher for folding money, or these days, you can load your Starbucks and Amazon account, donate to charity, or buy bitcoin. Gaherity says, believe it or not, most of those coins are now stuck in people's homes.“The vast majority of coins is (sic) recirculated through typical use of consumer,” Gaherity said. “They’re either taking it and buying things from store. which goes into till which then goes back into the banking system into inventories, or they’re going to aggregators like Coinstar.”The way money is funneled through our country is like a big cycle. The mint produces a new coin and it goes through the federal reserve bank, which then takes orders from banks and distributes it.“What banks do is look historically in terms of retail orders that they’re getting,” Gaherity said. “Retail is getting coin and currency from their local bank and they know historically what that volume typically looks like so they place their orders in advance to fulfill the need from retail.”Businesses and consumers help move it around too.“Coinstar recirculates more coins every year in the US by 3.5 times what the US mint produces,” Gaherity said.Those Coinstar kiosk bins weigh about 700 pounds when collected. That's a lot of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Trucks pick it up and swap it out.“That coin goes on the truck and into a processing center,” Gaherity said. “It’s places like Loomis and Brinks where we deliver that coin. They take those bins and fine count every single piece and distribute into denominational bins so all the pennies, nickels, dimes, all get segregated. Once that’s all done and count is complete, it goes back into the local bank.”Coinstar is doing extra pickups to help recirculate as much as they can. There's just not enough out there because people aren't putting it back into the system.Asked if coins are, like toilet paper once was, the next thing that people are hoarding. Gaherity said, “That’s the question we’re trying to answer. We work with the Mint and Federal Reserve to try and understand better are banks hoarding it right now? Are they keeping it for themselves for their customer calls to start again? If you think about a bank that services Walmart, they want to have enough coin in their inventory to deliver to Walmart for their registers. They don’t want to disappoint Walmart. Nobody wants to disappoint their retailers.”Banks are the largest recycler of coins. They, like the rest of us, are watching, waiting, to be able to resume normal routines. When we asked what's next, Gaherity said, “That is the question of the day. How do we get the right supply to meet the demand that’s out there? What we’re asking Americans is come out and do your normal transactions, go to a Coinstar, go to a bank and make despots so we can see recirculated coin fill the pipeline enough for the demand we have.”The good news he says, is that the European Coinstar Operations are back online and normal. 3923

The price of wine is going up.Global wine production slumped to its lowest level in 60 years in 2017, according to data from the International Organisation of Vine and Wine.The most recent harvest produced 25 billion liters of wine, a decrease from 26.7 billion in 2016 and 27.6 billion in 2015. The decline was driven by weak harvests in key markets including Europe and South Africa.The shortage has caused the wholesale price of basic wine in Italy to skyrocket 74% over the previous year, according to the European Commission. Prices are up 45% in Spain and over 10% in France.Analysts said that producers, dealers and retailers will absorb some of the price hikes, but consumers will end up paying more -- especially for cheaper bottles."The wine companies that are targeting very low prices ... will be hit the worst, because their margins are very low," said Stephen Rannekleiv, a global beverages strategist at Rabobank. "When prices go up, it puts a lot of strain on them."Reduced supply will also hurt quality."There will be, in some cases, lower quality wines getting blended into slightly higher value products, so everyone kind of goes down a tier in quality," said Rannekleiv.Producers were hardest hit in Europe, where heavy hailstorms and harsh frosts damaged vineyards in early 2017 before a summer drought took its toll. The continent accounts for 65% of global wine production, and 57% of consumption.European production dropped 15% in 2017. Production fell 21% in Italy, 18% in France and 15% in Spain, according to the Commission.Other regions had problems, too.Wildfires destroyed or tainted some of the harvest in California, and drought harmed vineyards in South Africa. Warm weather can cause grapes to ripen early and be smaller in size.Rannekleiv said the result was a global harvest that was even worse than analysts had feared. The pain could spread to other industries.Rannekleiv said the slump in production means there will be less wine to divert for use in other products. Brandy and vinegar makers could be hurt, for example. 2067
