States cannot impose a blanket prohibition on apparel such as T-shirts and buttons bearing political messages in polling sites, the U.S. Supreme Court said on Thursday in an important free speech ruling striking down a Minnesota law as unconstitutional. The court ruled 7-2 that Minnesota's law, which dates back to 1912 and was intended to maintain decorum at polling sites, went too far in banning voters from wearing political apparel - without even defining what is meant by "political." But the justices left room for states to craft some sort of limits on what should be allowed in polling places and what should not.

Over the past five years, photographer Ciril Jazbec has documented the changing lives of the Inuit people in Greenland, the world’s largest island, which is covered by the world’s largest and fastest-melting ice sheet. This fact, together with the darkening of its surface, mean the changes in Greenland will affect the entire planet and its species, the majority of the scientists have come to agree. Jazbec’s long-term project, Melting Away, is about a people at the forefront of climate change, who have an ancient knowledge of hunting and are in search of ways to survive a collapsing ecosystem. Qaanaaq and Siorapaluk, the world’s northernmost settlements of roughly 700 Inuits, continues its traditional ways despite several alarming climate, environmental and cultural threats.

Truth be told, there's nothing more delightful than a great "Bark at the Park Night," special promotions at both minor and major league baseball games throughout the season where dogs are allowed into the stadium. Besides making it possible to watch America's Pastime with Man's Best Friend, these games are great for prime dogspotting opportunities and adorable shenanigans. SEE ALSO: Meet the 9-year-old who runs the most wholesome Twitter account about petting dogs Case in point: the German Shepherd-looking pup who got free during Wednesday night's "Bark at the Park" festivities for the minor league Tulsa Drillers and decided that infield warm-ups were the best time to play catch with the shortstop. Okay, sure, the pup interrupted things, but with that speed, agility, and ball-catching skills, why not let the pup field? Our friends at @UMBCAthletics got us thinking: Next bark in the park, do we let that good boy play an inning at SS? — Tulsa Drillers (@TulsaDrillers) June 14, 2018 Let the pup play, guys.

Former Rolls-Royce engineer 'arrested under Official Secrets Act' amid fears China tried to obtain F-35 fighter jet details>
(Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines - June 14 2018 - 6:30 AM:)

A man in his 70s has been arrested as part of a probe under the Official Secrets Act, police said on Thursday, amid reports he was a former Rolls-Royce engineer suspected of divulging secrets about Britain's new stealth fighter to China. Scotland Yard said the man was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and taken to a police station in Derbyshire before being released under investigation. A search at an address in Derbyshire was ongoing while a search warrant was also executed at an office address in the West Midlands. The man was named by the Sun as Bryn Jones, a former chief combustion technologist, who it said had been detained in connection with efforts by China to obtain classified information about Britain's new £100million RAF stealth fighter jet. The 73-year-old former Rolls-Royce employee was reportedly held after MI5 received information that classified details were passed to Beijing. Factfile | F-35 Lightning II fighter He was detained in an “ultra-discreet” swoop by officers from Scotland Yard’s SO15 counter-terrorism command at his home on Tuesday, it was reported. Mr Jones, who describes himself as a “visiting professor” in “gas turbine combustion” at the Aeronautical University of Xian, central China, denies any wrongdoing, the newspaper reported. The investigation reportedly centres on information about the F-35 Lightning II jet, which arrived in Britain last week. Britain has committed to buying 138 F-35 fighter aircraft and has so far bought 48 at a cost of £9.1 billion. The F-35 programme is the world’s largest defence development, worth over $1.3trillion. UK industry provides 15 per cent of each of the 3,000 aircraft currently on the order books and at peak production 25,000 British jobs will be supported throughout the supply chain.

EPA workforce 'disgusted' by Scott Pruitt's scandals and priorities, official says>

A demoralized workforce watching as its agency is dismantled by the very people charged to lead it: That is the grim state of affairs depicted by John J. O’Grady, a longtime employee in the Chicago field office of the Environmental Protection Agency, which is tasked with protecting the nation’s air and water, while preventing the exposure of citizens to harmful chemicals. The agency is doing none of that, in O’Grady’s telling, with career officials watching in dismay as EPA administrator Scott Pruitt seemingly lurches from one scandal to another while doing the bidding of oil barons and the chemical lobby. “Morale is not good,” O’Grady said of the agency’s 14,000 employees.
