Jeremy Stahl: William Barr Accidentally Concedes His Reason for Withholding the Mueller Report Is Baloney (Slate)
During questioning from Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, Barr acknowledged that there was precedent for releasing the entire unredacted Mueller report to Congress. This contradicts what he has said repeatedly over the course of two days of testimony, in which he has been adamant that there is no way around rules governing grand jury secrecy.
Tom Danehy: Tom thinks UA women's basketball could really turn into a thing for Tucson (Tucson Weekly)
It was one of those moments about which, 10 or 20 years from now, people will smile and say, "Oh yeah, I was there." (For the record, I wasn't there, although I certainly would have liked to have been. Some of my track kids decided that they wanted to volunteer at the Special Olympics event at the same time as the game.) On a Saturday afternoon in April-a day usually reserved for basketball junkies to plop down on their couches with a truckload of chicken wings and a commensurate amount of cold beverages to watch the Final Four-14,664 people showed up at McKale Center to watch a basketball game that didn't involve the Wildcat men's team.

In the United States, cigarette lighters started appearing as standard equipment in automobiles in 1925-1926.
The lighter is a metal or plastic cylinder containing a thin flat coil of nichrome metal strip, through which high current (~10 amperes) passes when the device is activated, usually by pushing it into the socket as though it were a push-button. When pushed in, the lighter is held against the force of a spring by a clip attached to a bi-metallic strip. The heating element glows orange hot in seconds, causing the bi-metallic strip to bend and release the mechanism, and the handle pops out, eliminating the need for the user to time the heating operation. If the lighter is then promptly removed from its socket, it can light a cigarette, cigar, or tinder.

Roy, the Yellow Dog Texan in Tyler, TX wrote:
That gadget is what us old folks will recall as a car's cigarette lighter. It was usually located somewhere on the dashboard, often in close proximity to the ashtray. To use it, one would push on it until it locked into place as the car's battery caused it to heat up and glow, at which point it would pop back to it's original position. When that happened, the smoker would remove it from it's hole and place it to the tip of his or her cigarette, being careful to keep an eye on traffic. I think my 2006 Ford was the last car I owned that had one of those things.
Kevin K., in Washington, DC, said:
It's a cigarette lighter for a car. Used to be ashtrays in all the cars, too. But mostly, people threw the butt out the window. Now, the space on the dashboard that used to go to the lighter is an electric plug so we can charge our cell phone and text while driving. Why die slow when you can die fast and leave a pretty corpse?

Dave wrote:
Cigarette lighter. To heat up the coils you pushed the lighter into the socket and after a few seconds the coils were hotter than hell and the driver could remove it and light his cigarette. Those were handy because if he was driving with his windows down, which we did in the summer time before most cars had A/C, the moving air would blow out most flame lighters. Depending on the year car, lighters were 6 volt and later 12 volt powered. I never smoked but I have used a cigarette lighter socket as a power supply for CB radios. The cigarette lighter gradually disappeared as standard equipment from new cars in the 1990's (along with ashtrays), but now cars usually have more than one 12 volt power outlet that can be used to recharge cell phones or power various electronics like portable TVs and 120 volt power inverters. A 12 volt power source in a car is somewhat inexact because car alternators usually put out about 14 volts to keep the car battery charged.

The picture today appears to be an automobile cigarette lighter which has been replaced by power outlets for the ubiquitous electronic communication and entertainment devices which are just as addictive as cigarettes, but less smelly and cancer-causing.
Dave in Tucson answered:
That's the business end of a car cigarette/cigar lighter. Push it into
the receptacle, when it's ready it pops out to light your smoke.
Nowadays the lighter is no longer standard equipment though the
receptacle apparently is, providing a handy way to charge your
electronics while on the road.
John O replied:
That's a car cigarette lighting device. You would press and hold it in until you get a red glow showing through the glass front. I had one on a '34 Chrysler. Later models were just pushed in, and they would pop out a little when ready to remove and light your ciggy. Kids, smoking is unhealthy and stinky. Don't do it unless you want to look really cool.
Steve in Wonderful Sacramento, CA, responded:
Everyone in America was an addict. They were all addicted to nicotine. Nicotine addiction was an industry worth billions of dollars. Everyone had to have a delivery system for their addictive substance. The delivery system was cigarettes, cigars and pipes that needed an ignition source in the form of lighters, matches and in the case of the automobile, an electric cigarette lighter was provided by auto manufacturers because withdrawals from nicotine cravings could cause people operating motor vehicles to be menaces to society. The automobile industry and the tobacco industry therefore were working hand in hand to make people safe by enabling nicotine addicts to ignite their nicotine delivery systems with the glowing red hot filaments in the automobile's cigar and cigarette lighter. First they were six volts and later they were twelve volt devices that when pushed in would heat the element to red orange hot and would then pop out of the receptacle ready to apply the stored heat to the cigar/cigarette so that it would ignite that delivery system as the addict drew air into his/her mouth. Back when 'murica was great.
• Adam Pernell once provided piano accompaniment for David Howard's class when Rudolf Nureyev was taking it. Mr. Pernell was feeling depressed, so he started playing music that was appropriate to his mood - the death scene of Violetta in La Traviata. Mr. Nureyev danced the appropriate steps, but as he danced he mimed Violetta's consumptive cough. From that beginning, a game developed between Mr. Pernell and Mr. Nureyev. Mr. Pernell would play music from an opera, and Mr. Nureyev would dance the steps as the character from the opera would dance them. Each time, Mr. Nureyev got the opera and the character right. Afterwards, Mr. Pernell left class in a wonderful mood.
• A man named Bertani once wrote Giuseppe Verdi a letter in which he complained that Verdi's opera Aida lacked quality, despite having heard it twice. In the letter, he enclosed a statement of the costs of hearing the opera, including the price of his opera tickets, the cost of the railroad tickets, and the cost of his evening meals after hearing the opera. Finally, he asked Verdi to reimburse his expenses. Verdi agreed, but he first extracted the promise that the man would never attend one of his operas again. In addition, he refused to pay for the cost of the evening meals, saying, "He could have perfectly well eaten at home."
• Soprano Frances Alda was backstage, getting ready to sing the role of Lady Harriet in the opera Marta. She was especially looking forward to singing, in English, the song "The Last Rose of Summer." Unfortunately, a thoughtless assistant conductor told her, "You know, Patti said that was the most difficult song in the world." Because Adelina Patti had been one of the greatest coloratura singers of the late 19th century, this announcement shook Ms. Alda's confidence, and it took many, many performances for her to sing the song as well as she had sung it before the thoughtless assistant conductor had spoken to her.
• In Vienna, Alfred Piccaver and Elizabeth Schumann gave a joint recital, the program of which promised that they would sing a duet from La Boheme. Unfortunately, the pianist brought the wrong music, so they sang a duet from Madama Butterfly instead. Nevertheless, the audience declined to go home until they had heard the Boheme duet, so the house manager asked the audience, "Is there a Boheme [score] in the house?" A person in the gallery answered, "I've got one." Borrowing the score, the pianist played the duet and the audience was able to hear Mr. Piccaver and Ms. Schumann sing it.
• Operatic tenor Leo Slezak was known for his practical jokes during rehearsals. During a dress rehearsal of Tannhäuser, several horses were brought on stage, and all of them proceeded to relieve themselves, filling the stage with dung. After the rehearsal, Mr. Slezak in a hurt voice told the conductor of the opera, Herr Hertz, a man vehemently opposed to his practical joking, "You see how unjust you are. You don't say a word to the horses, but if I had done it, there would be the usual complaint - Slezak is interfering with the rehearsal!"
• The inaugural performance of the Metropolitan Opera in Lincoln Center was an opera by an American composer: Samuel Barber's Antony and Cleopatra. Unfortunately, the performance was critically panned. Even before the performance, Sir Rudolf Bing knew that the production was likely to be a failure. When he met soprano Leontyne Price's mother just before the performance, she said, "I had envisioned you as a much larger man." Sir Rudolf replied, "Until a week ago, I was."
• In the early 1900s, the Metropolitan Opera's production of Parsifal was considered scandalous - clergymen felt it was improper for a theater to stage religious drama. However, very quickly the scandal was forgotten and many theater-goers looked forward to seeing Parsifal annually on Good Friday.
• Maria Callas once sang in Norma in Paris, but unfortunately her voice broke on a note, with the result that the audience booed her. She held up her hand for silence, asked the conductor to start the aria from the beginning, and this time reached the note - to the very great applause of the audience.
• African-American diva Martina Arroyo remembers some very under-rehearsed performances in Europe. Once, in Frankfurt, she walked onto the stage in the role of Aida without knowing which singer on stage was playing Aida's father - until the baritone playing the father started singing.
• Theater director Tyrone Guthrie was a fan of opera - and especially of Verdi's Requiem. Often, he would sing along with his recording and shout, "Yes! Yes!" His wife Judy occasionally asked him, "Tony, can we just listen to it?" Mr. Guthrie always replied by shouting, "No - get involved."
• The first time soprano Kirsten Flagstad heard Tristan und Isolde, she was very bored and could barely keep awake. Later, she became famous for her singing of Wagnerian roles, including the role of Isolde.
• French-born soprano Lily Pons learned her first American slang from comedian Jack Oakie - "Scram!" According to Mr. Oakie, Ms. Pons was the Metropolitan Opera's "Top Line Canary."
• The favorite opera of King George V of England was La Boheme. When asked why it was his favorite, he replied, "Because it's much the shortest."
• "Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back, and instead of dying, he sings." - Robert Benchley

Katherine Bouman had a secret: An algorithm she'd developed had stitched together a picture of a black hole. She told nobody except her colleagues. Until today. That's when Event Horizon Telescope team, of which Bouman is a member, unveiled the first image of a black hole.
Bouman, 29, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, had been working on such an algorithm for almost six years, since she was a graduate student at MIT.
She was one of about three dozen computer scientists who used algorithms to process data gathered by the Event Horizon Telescope project, a worldwide collaboration of astronomers, engineers and mathematicians.
Telescopes around the world collected high-frequency radio waves from the vicinity of Messier 87 (M87), a galaxy with a supermassive black hole 54 million light-years away.
The image shared Wednesday, which has been likened to a molten doughnut or the Eye of Sauron or even a Rembrandt, is a composite of several such reconstructions.
Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush won his defamation case on Thursday against a Sydney newspaper publisher and journalist over reports he had been accused of inappropriate behavior toward an actress.
The 67-year-old Australian had sued The Daily Telegraph's publisher and journalist Jonathon Moran over two stories and a poster published in late 2017.
Australian Federal Court Justice Michael Wigney ruled that Rush had been defamed. Wigney awarded an initial payment of 850,000 Australian dollars ($610,000) in damages, but lawyers will return to court on May 10 when the judge determines damages for economic loss and costs.
The reports alleged inappropriate behavior toward co-star Eryn Jean Norvill by Rush while he was starring in the Sydney Theatre Company's production of "King Lear" in 2015 and 2016.
Norvill, who played Lear's daughter Cordelia in the production, did not speak to the newspaper before the articles were published, but agreed to testify for the newspaper at the trial. The 34-year-old actress testified that while she was playing dead, Rush stroked his hand across the side of her right breast and on to her hip during a preview performance.
At first glance, it looked like a set of black numbers and letters written in English, perhaps with some symbols included.
It had gone unnoticed for nearly 200 years in a cave nestled in a wooded hillside overlooking Fort Payne, Alabama - population 14,000, about 60 miles southwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee - and was partially covered by graffiti.
But when cave explorers found the inscriptions, they realized the significance. After years of research and analysis, a team of Native American scholars and anthropologists determined the inscriptions are the first evidence of the Cherokee syllabary - the tribe's written system that uses symbols to create words - ever found in a cave. It details the "secluded, ceremonial" activities of the tribe that once occupied the area.
The inscriptions inside Manitou Cave of Alabama are in the Cherokee syllabary developed by Cherokee scholar Sequoyah. He had enlisted in the US Army under Andrew Jackson to fight rebelling Creek Indians and had become interested in how whites used the alphabet to communicate.
Sequoyah eventually developed a written system from the Cherokee language, which became the tribe's official written language. The syllabary came to look similar to English letters so it would work on a printing press. Cherokees later published their own newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix.
A newfound extinct human lineage that lived in New Guinea interbred with modern humans, a new study finds.
This lineage's genetic differences from other humans made it as distinct a group as our closest extinct relatives, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, scientists added.
Although modern humans are now the only living branch of the human family tree, others not only lived alongside modern humans, but even interbred with them, leaving behind DNA in the modern human genome. These archaic lineages not only included the Neanderthals, the closest extinct relatives of modern humans, but also the mysterious Denisovans, known only from fossils unearthed in the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia.
Previous research found that while Denisovans shared a common origin with Neanderthals, they were nearly as genetically distinct from Neanderthals as Neanderthals were from modern humans. Prior work estimated the ancestors of modern humans split from the common ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans about 700,000 years ago, and the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans diverged from one another about 400,000 years ago.
In 2018, scientists found that the Denisovans actually possessed more than one lineage. One was closely related to the Siberian Denisovan and has a genetic legacy primarily found in East Asians, while the other was more distantly related to the Siberian Denisovan and had DNA nowadays mostly seen in Papuans and South Asians. These groups split apart about 283,000 years ago.
Mansplainers, those "let me just explain something to you" dudes we all know and love, have had a pretty rough ride lately. And, honestly, it's about time.
This morning, the headlines told us of yet another round of mansplaining in Congress between Treasure Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). During a hearing on Tuesday, Mnuchin announced that he had another "important" meeting, to which he was already going to be late. After some back and forth, where Waters made it very clear that he was free to leave, Mnuchin began to instruct her on how to end the meeting.
"Please dismiss everybody," he said. "I believe you are supposed to take the gravel [sic] and bang it." He then pretended to bang a gavel.
"Please do not instruct me as to how I am to conduct this committee," Waters firmly replied.
This is the second time in less than a week that we've seen a male politician mansplain to their fellow female politicians what they think they should do in an unacceptably condescending tone. When former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) tried to give newcomer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) some advice about making it in Congress, his tips weren't exactly well received - or asked for in the first place.
In January 2018, the Hungarian State Opera in Budapest was widely criticized for staging the George Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess - whose story wrestles with racism, drug abuse and poverty - with a predominantly white cast, despite the fact that the Gershwin estate requires performances to feature an all-black cast.
Now, the Hungarian production is back for another series of performances of Porgy this month - and its nearly all-white cast was reportedly asked to sign testimonials saying that they were African-American.
The Hungarian news website Index said that it had obtained the statement, and published it last Friday. According to Index, it reads: "African-American origin and consciousness are an integral part of my identity. That's why I am especially pleased to be able to play George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess." The Hungarian television network ATV reported that a majority of the cast - 15 out 28 performers- signed the statement.
The 1935 opera was a collaboration between three white creators, with music by George Gershwin and a libretto by Ira Gershwin and novelist DuBose Heyward (who had written the 1925 novel Porgy, from which the opera was adapted). It was created for black performers - and when it licenses the work, the Gershwin estate specifically stipulates that any performances feature an all-black cast. (According to Hungarian media, the performers are reportedly using photocopied music.)
The performances in Budapest, which continue through next Wednesday night, bear a disclaimer of sorts on the opera company's website and in the venue: "The manner in which this production of Porgy and Bess is being produced is unauthorized and is contrary to the requirements for the presentation of the work."
