NEWSWEEK: Let’s talk about tax cuts, let’s talk about some of the agenda issues that are coming up. Will tax cuts be your first order of business? BUSH: No, I think the education bill will.

Wearing a mask has been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in areas where social distancing can be difficult to maintain. Mask wearing requirements can vary from area to area, a situation the letter says has “led to public confusion and lower levels of consumer confidence.” “To be clear, the decision to impose face covering requirements should remain at the state or local level but be informed by clear and consistent guidance based on data,” the letter read....
The champions were thwarted by a lack of cutting edge up front and a brilliant performance from visiting goalkeeper Carlos Kameni as they handed a boost to leader Real Madrid in La Liga’s title race. Alcacer AWOL as Barca miss Messi Barca’s attack was noticeably blunted without Messi, who withdrew from the squad shortly before kickoff with an illness, and the suspended Suarez. Busquets, however, feels it was a matter of luck deserting his side as it dropped points at Camp Nou for the third time this season....
His alleged crime? Writing Advanced eBook Processor, a computer program sold by his Russian employer, ElcomSoft, that allows purchasers of Adobe e-books to make backup copies for themselves. Because the software circumvents the clearly less-than-bulletproof protections built into e-books by Adobe and potentially allows people to distribute pirated copies, Adobe believed the program violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)–a controversial 1998 law that Congress passed to protect holders of intellectual property in the Internet age....

MORE: Hot images | Week 3 injuries By season’s end, order will be restored. The Giants will have surpassed the Jets again. In fact, prepare yourself for a visit to the playoffs for Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning and Co. – and for the Jets to be tiptoeing into another offseason of uncertainty. Yes, it sounds preposterous, not so much because the Jets are 2-1 and justifying Rex Ryan’s faith in his defense and in Geno Smith at quarterback....
Wednesday’s 3-1 triumph might just prove a turning point for Zinedine Zidane’s men, under heavy pressure having underachieved for much of the current domestic season. The result itself, obtained through two Cristiano Ronaldo strikes and a late third courtesy of Marcelo, is huge, but perhaps even more important for the Champions League holders was the manner of victory. PSG have been in formidable form over the course of 2017-18, and looked more likely to snatch three points for large spells of the last-16 encounter....

Sitake played under legendary BYU coach LaVell Edwards over a career that spanned seven years (including Sitake’s two-years on LDS church mission). Sitake’s Beavers ranked 116th in total defense this season, struggling to contain opposing offenses.
