Police and Fire Games legacy program to benefit local youthBy EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court should overturn Mississippi’s Jim Crow-era practice of removing voting rights from people convicted of certain felonies, including nonviolent crimes such as forgery and timber theft, attorneys say in new court papers. Most of the people affected are disenfranchised for life because the state provides few options for restoring ballot access. “Mississippi’s harsh and unforgiving felony disenfranchisement scheme is a national outlier,” attorneys representing some who lost voting rights said in an appeal filed Wednesday. They wrote that states “have consistently moved away from lifetime felony disenfranchisement over the past few decades.” This case is the second in recent years — and the third since the late 19th century — that asks the Supreme Court to overturn Mississippi’s disenfranchisement for some felonies. The cases use different legal arguments, and the court rejected the most recent attempt in 2023. The new appeal asks justices to reverse a July ruling from the conservative 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said Mississippi legislators, not the courts, must decide whether to change the laws. Stripping away voting rights for some crimes is unconstitutional because it is cruel and unusual punishment, the appeal argues. A majority of justices rejected arguments over cruel and unusual punishment in June when they cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places. Attorneys who sued Mississippi over voting rights say the authors of the state’s 1890 constitution based disenfranchisement on a list of crimes they thought Black people were more likely to commit. A majority of the appeals judges wrote that the Supreme Court in 1974 reaffirmed constitutional law allowing states to disenfranchise felons. About 38% of Mississippi residents are Black. Nearly 50,000 people were disenfranchised under the state’s felony voting ban between 1994 and 2017. More than 29,000 of them have completed their sentences, and about 58% of that group are Black, according to an expert who analyzed data for plaintiffs challenging the voting ban.

In recent years, legislators have restored voting rights for only a few people. The other recent case that went to the Supreme Court argued that authors of Mississippi’s constitution showed racist intent when they chose which felonies would cause people to lose the right to vote. In that ruling, justices declined to reconsider a 2022 appeals court decision that said Mississippi remedied the discriminatory intent of the original provisions in the state constitution by later altering the list of disenfranchising crimes. In 1950, Mississippi dropped burglary from the list. Murder and rape were added in 1968. The Mississippi attorney general issued an opinion in 2009 that expanded the list to 22 crimes, including timber larceny, carjacking, felony-level shoplifting and felony-level writing bad checks. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a 2023 dissent that Mississippi’s list of disenfranchising crimes was “adopted for an illicit discriminatory purpose.”Attorneys want the US Supreme Court to say Mississippi’s felony voting ban is cruel and unusualcard game 4 letters 。

Stock market today: Wall Street climbs as Nvidia swings, bitcoin rises and Alphabet sinksManchester City's nightmare seasons shows no signs of slowing down following their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon. The loss left the Citizens in seventh place with 27 points , 12 fewer than first-placed Liverpool, who have played a game fewer than the champions. Guardiola's side are also at risk of elimination from the Champions League given they are 22nd in the table with eight points and occupy the third-last round of 16 playoff spot. To add to this, Football Insider now claim that Haaland is laying the groundwork to leave the club, with the 24-year-old reportedly moaning in the dressing room at his team's form this campaign. © Imago The Norwegian has scored 13 times in the Premier League this season and has netted his side's opening goal on eight occasions, with defender Josko Gvardiol City's next highest scorer having found the back of the net four times. Haaland broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League season in 2022-23 when he scored 36 times, surpassing Andy Cole and Alan Shearer , who netted 34 each in 1993-94 and 1994-95 respectively. The striker has averaged exactly one goal per 90 in the top flight, as well as 1.18 assists per 90, and only needs to score 24 more times in the league to reach a century of goals in the England's premier division. In his first five league matches of 2024-25, Haaland found the back of the net on 10 occasions, scoring hat-tricks against Ipswich Town and West Ham United. However, he only scored three goals in his subsequent 12 Premier League fixtures, blanking nine times and producing just one assist in that period. © Imago One of the criticisms of Haaland since joining City has been his relatively limited impact on games when he does not score. The 24-year-old has averaged under 20 touches of the ball per 90 in the league this term, whereas Liverpool striker Diogo Jota has averaged just under 35 touches per 90. While it is difficult to expect Haaland to become more involved in build-up play considering he has proven how deadly he can be on the last line of an opposition's defence, he has stood out for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks. Guardiola has defended his striker this season, telling Spanish media: "Erling is so important for us, will be important for us and we need to use him better." Given the striker's track record at City, it would not be surprising if Haaland was to get back on the scoresheet more regularly, but fans will hope that Guardiola can convince him to stay despite the team's overall struggles.Journalist Andrew Pierce has voiced his delight at remaining a part of the GB News team amid a significant shake-up at the channel. The political commentator, who presents Britain's Newsroom alongside former LBC anchor Beverley Turner during the week, expressed his cheer on Twitter, following some major changes. He remarked: "Delighted with @beverleyturner to be part of @GBNEWS team which is now beating @SkyNews week in week out. And they said @gbnews wouldn't last." Andrew remains on the channel after a sweep at GB News that saw the likes of Mark Dolan and Isabel Webster leave. The reorganisation also had an impact on ex-Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, whose showtime got trimmed from four days to two. Mark revealed on Friday that he was dismissed "in minutes" but offered thanks to his former network for managing his exit "nicely." Isabel, the breakfast host, has kept silent about her exit thus far; however, her co-host Eamonn Holmes paid tribute via social media with the words: "Bye my girl x.", reports . Ellie Costello is poised to become the fresh face on the Breakfast show with Eamonn from Monday through Wednesday, with Stephen Dixon covering Thursday and Friday. Ben Leo is set to fill Mark's vacated weekend position. On Wednesday, the station disclosed the overhaul, clarifying that the updated presenter lineup "will allow us to build on success with a renewed focus and ambition." Ben Briscoe, GB News's Head of Programming and Talent, said: "2024 has been a truly fantastic year for us. Not only are we regularly beating the other established news channels, but we are also making inroads against the big public service broadcaster terrestrial channels. Our initiatives will allow us to build on this success with a renewed focus and ambition." An insider disclosed to MailOnline the "real reasons" behind the disappearance of certain presenters on the channel, claiming Isabel was deemed "too woke and not on message", while Mark's exit was attributed to "viewing figures not being good". It was mentioned that Mark's Saturday evening program had to contend with the BBC's immensely popular Strictly Come Dancing.

《TAIPEI TIMES》New fish species named in Taiwan by NSYSU teamP-plater allegedly caught speeding nearly 100km over the limitDemi Hayes is set to make her long-awaited return from injury while four players are in line for Australian Sevens debuts in the opening round of the 2024/2025 HSBC SVNS series in Dubai from November 30. Australian coaches Tim Walsh and Liam Barry have named their squads for the first tournament of the upcoming season with new-look teams following the Paris Olympics. Walsh continues his role in charge of the Aussie Women’s team while Barry joins Rugby Australia as Head Coach of the Men’s side following the departure of John Manenti. Hayes, who suffered an ACL injury in Cape Town last year, has been included in Walsh’s side after close to 12 months out of the game recovering from injury. Walsh has also named Kahli Henwood for an official Sevens series debut after a late call-up to the Olympic team in July, while Kiiahla Duff comes in for an injured Bienne Terita, who will miss the first tournament of the series. Australia’s Women are the reigning HSBC SVNS world champions after winning the title in Madrid in June. The wider squad consists of a strong mix of youth and experience, led by Charlotte Caslick and the Levi sisters – Maddison and Teagan – both of whom are coming off dominant years. Injured stars Madison Ashby, Alysia Lefau-Fakaosilea, Kaitlin Shave and Sidney Taylor are all on the comeback trail after suffering knee injuries in 2024. The setbacks allowed for the likes of Bridget Clark, Ruby Nicholas and Heidi Dennis to make their Sevens debut last season at the international level. Retired legends Sharni Smale and Dominique Du Toit also bid farewell to the Sevens program in August, opening the door for the likes of Henwood and Duff to come into the squad full-time as well as Amahli Hala. Australia Women’s Sevens coach Tim Walsh said: “We have had a rejuvenating pre-season balanced with elite standards and positive attitudes. “We have enjoyed the mental and technical challenges and are determined to start the World Series where we finished last season as Champions. “With a youthful in age squad, we are like fine wine and want to get better with age and strongly believe the best is yet to come. “It is very pleasing to announce debutants Kahli Henwood and Kiiahla Duff who are poised to make their first appearances on the World Series. “Both have spent years in their apprenticeship and fully deserve the right to represent this incredible team.” Meanwhile, new Men’s coach Barry has named Aden Ekanayake and Sid Harvey for their Australian Rugby Sevens debuts in Dubai with the pair joining the top squad in 2024/2025. Following their best finish at an Olympic Games in history, the Men’s Sevens squad has undergone several changes in the off-season with Barry’s appointment most significant. Barry will oversee a younger group for his first season in charge following the retirements of captain Nick Malouf and former Wallabies skipper Michael Hooper. Experienced players Henry Hutchison, Hayden Sargeant, Matt Gonzalez, Ben Dowling, James Turner and Henry Paterson have all re-signed with the Sevens program and are included for the upcoming Dubai tournament. Josh Turner and Tim Clements have departed the Aussie Sevens program with Conor Hickey, Ben Dalton, Henry Palmer and Jayden Blake earning contracts for the first time. National Performance Manager Scott Bowen said: “Since Paris we have had several changes with a number of experienced players and key staff from both Men’s and Women’s programs departing and I want to acknowledge how well the players have applied themselves during the adjustments in preparing for the start of the season. “It is a new-look Men’s squad with Liam coming on board and we’re excited to get back competing and watching the progression of the young talent coming through particularly with Aden and Sid set to make their debuts next weekend. “The Women’s team saw plenty of debutants last season and that has created strong depth for Tim to continue their great success on the world stage.” The Aussie Women kick off their Dubai tournament against China while the Men’s team face South Africa in their first pool match. Every round of the HSBC SVNS series will be shown live and exclusive, ad-free and on demand on Stan Sport.
