What still needs to happen for the Connecticut Sun to move to Boston?

It’s long been a dream of local WNBA fans to have a team based right in Boston, and it’s now one step closer to becoming a reality.A big hurdle remains in bringing the Connecticut Sun to Boston — the WNBA itself.An investor group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has made a record-setting $325 million offer to acquire and relocate the Connecticut Sun and make TD Garden the teams new home.“As passionate basketball fans and strong believers in women’s professional sports, we remain excited by this opportunity and would be honored to serve as the next stewards of this franchise,” the group said in a statement.While the transaction is pending, it is far from being a done deal. The WNBA and its board of governors have the final say, and in a statement to ESPN, they wrote relocation decisions are made by the WNBA, and not individual teams. The league went on to say that no groups from Boston applied for a team back in June, when the WNBA opened expansion team bidding.Nine other cities did, and therefore have priority over Boston.“They seem to feel that maybe Boston should have to wait in line like everyone else,” Trenni Casey of NBC Sports Boston said. “In my personal opinion, that is a miss by the WNBA. You could wait eight years and have a bid, and maybe then it’s lost its momentum. But the WNBA is at an apex tight now. They are at a point where they can grow and grow rapidly and why not do it in a great sports market?”If the deal does go through, the team wouldn’t play in Boston until 2027. The investors group would also pay an additional $100 million for a new practice facility in Boston.More on the Connecticut SunWNBAJul 15As TD Garden sells out for Fever-Sun game, Boston pushes for WNBA teamBostonJul 9‘The time is now': Boston city councilor calls for a WNBA franchise in the city

Jenny Han says this pivotal moment in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' season 2 almost featured a different song

Along with its air of coming-of-age nostalgia and idyllic beach setting, fans often know “The Summer I Turned Pretty” for its music.The show, now airing its third season, features a soundtrack that highlights a variety of hit songs from artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Fleetwood Mac and Taylor Swift.Jenny Han, showrunner and author of the original “Summer I Turned Pretty” books, says when she picks songs, she aims to match the scene’s emotions and overall “vibe.”“There’s lots of songs that I would like to use somewhere, but it has to be the right moment, and I think it has to further the story along,” Han says.Sometimes fans question her selections.“I think because they’re thinking of it more like an edit,” she says, referring to the social media phenomenon of splicing scenes together to fit a song’s theme.“(They’re) great songs that are really lyric heavy that could sort of take away from the scene, because you wouldn’t be able to hear the dialogue of the people speaking,” Han adds. “And then I think sometimes, you don’t want to lead your characters too far in terms of the emotions. You want to let them show you.”In keeping with an overall theme of the show, Han says she aims to invoke nostalgia.“I love picking music that people will maybe (be introduced) to for the first time, and then I also love the nostalgia of songs from the past that make you feel something and you remember a moment,” she says.But what song Han picks for a scene is sometimes a close call. Lola Tung, who stars as Belly, tells TODAY.com sometimes she’s asked for her opinion on a song. Because the process is collaborative, Han reveals that a pivotal moment from the show’s second season was almost set to another tune.Jul 6, 2023Lola Tung on what makes ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' love triangle so intenseTaylor SwiftMay 5, 2022Taylor Swift Drops New Version of ‘This Love' in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' TrailerFans might remember the integral prom scene in Season 2 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” that leads Belly and Conrad (Christopher Briney) to break up. “Mayonaise” by the Smashing Pumpkins is the song Han ultimately chose to feature in the background.“I love it because it’s so romantic,” Han says. “It’s yearning. It’s really intense.”Leading up to the scene, Conrad spends several weeks distancing himself from Belly as he struggles to handle his mom’s worsening health. The couple eventually reaches a breaking point at prom when Conrad forgets Belly’s corsage and tells her he isn’t going to spend the night after the dance. Belly perceives his emotional distance as disinterest.Tension escalates and the intro of “Mayonaise” slowly begins playing. Belly and Conrad dance at prom as the song’s electric guitar starts to wail.But Conrad can’t move past the fact that he feels like a disappointment to Belly. They leave the dance floor to escape the song’s booming drums and talk outside. The two decide to end their relationship as the brooding song can still be heard playing from the dance floor.But “Mayonaise” almost didn’t set the wistful tone for this intense moment, Han reveals. Instead, she says one person advocated for featuring Mazzy Star’s classic “Fade Into You.”“Which I love, it’s a beautiful song,” Han says. “But I think it had been used on something else recently. You want to be mindful of that because you want the moment to have its own time.”“If it’s a good song, a lot of people are going to want to use it,” she adds.The first two episodes of Season 3 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” premiered on July 16 on Prime Video. The new season already includes many twists and turns, set to songs such as “Dreams” by The Cranberries, Roan’s “Hot To Go,” Swift’s “You’re Losing Me” and more.Over on Amazon Music, fans can receive further insight on the show’s soundtrack. In a new playlist, Han provides commentary on the songs in Season 3. The track-by-track album will be updated through the finale, which is set to drop Sept. 17.“The show’s music has evolved as the characters have evolved,” Han said in a statement about the playlist. “It’s always been a character of the show in its own right.”This story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Economists Warn US Close To 'Stall Speed' And Could 'Tip Over Into Recession' On Disappointing Jobs Report

The July Jobs report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, released on Friday, is raising concerns among economists, who warn that the latest data and sharp downward revisions point to a labor market that is losing momentum and potentially edging toward a recession.What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said that the U.S. economy was “closer to stall speed than we thought,” citing the bleak figures published in the report. Besides the disappointing payroll growth of just 73,000 during the month, far short of the expected 110,000, Summers says “the big deal” is the downward revisions for May and June, which now show job growth of just 19,000 and 14,000, respectively, down from the initial estimates of 144,000 and 147,000.See Also: Trump’s Trade Deals, Tariffs, The Tumbling Labor Market And More: This Week In Economy“That means there is a real possibility that we’re in a stall speed kind of economy,” Summers says, warning that “we could tip over into recession”I think the Friday jobs report told us that ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

RFK Jr. Announces Repeal Of Policy That Rewarded Hospitals For Reporting Staff Vaccination Rates

RFK Jr. Announces Repeal Of Policy That Rewarded Hospitals For Reporting Staff Vaccination Rates

RFK Jr. Announces Repeal Of Policy That Rewarded Hospitals For Reporting Staff Vaccination Rates Authored by Jeff Louderback via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),In his department’s latest move related to vaccine-related reform, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Aug. 1 announced more repeals of federal policy that rewarded hospitals for reporting staff vaccination rates.Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testifies before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington on May 20, 2025. Madalina Vasiliu/The Epoch TimesKennedy said in a press release that the policy was coercive and denied informed consent.“Medical decisions should be made based on one thing: the wellbeing of the person—never on a financial bonus or a government mandate,” Kennedy said. “Doctors deserve the freedom to use their training, follow the science, and speak the truth without fear of punishment.”Created under the Biden administration’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) inpatient payment rule, the policy linked hospital reimbursement to staff vaccination reporting.“Doctors and other providers should have the same autonomy to choose what’s right for their own individual health care needs as the patients for whom they care. Today’s announcement helps put that power back in their hands,” CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said in the press release.The move represents the most recent policy repeal under CMS. These moves are “part of a broader HHS effort to restore medical autonomy in federally funded programs and root out financial and regulatory pressures that incentivize physicians towards pre-scripted medical decisions rather than individualized, evidence-based care,” according to the press release.Since taking office as HHS secretary, Kennedy has implemented multiple changes regarding vaccines.The Food and Drug Administration in late May said it planned to limit access to future COVID vaccines to people 65 and older and individuals with underlying health conditions.The agency also announced it would permit vaccine manufacturers to coordinate in-depth studies to assess the efficacy and safety of COVID vaccines in children and younger, healthy adults.In recent months, HHS has also dismissed all 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine advisory panel, ended the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for pregnant women and healthy children, and ordered the removal of mercury from influenza vaccines.After it voted to advise officials to stop recommending influenza shots that have mercury, the remade Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) said it plans to look at multiple other vaccines.Martin Kulldorff, the new chair of ACIP, said on June 26 that one proposal is to notify the CDC that young children should not receive the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) combination immunization.The agency instead would recommend that children under the age of 47 months get two separate vaccines: the measles, mumps, rubella shot, and the varicella, or chickenpox, vaccine.Martin Kulldorff, the new chair of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, during a committee meeting in Atlanta, Ga., on June 25, 2025. Elijah Nouvelage/Getty ImagesKulldorff noted that the change would reflect data that indicate the MMRV combination vaccine causes more febrile seizures. The CDC reported the same information in a background paper dated June 25.A vote on the issue could happen as early as the next ACIP meeting, which is expected to be held in August or September.Dr. Tina Tan, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, said in a statement that “re-examining the childhood vaccine schedule and the use of thimerosal are both politically motivated actions that are not based on science.”“Raising questions without adequate data casts doubt on vaccination, which can further drive down confidence in vaccines. More than any other medications, vaccines are extensively and constantly reviewed and evaluated,” she added.During the ACIP meeting, Kulldorff explained that Kennedy had given the committee “a clear mandate to use evidence-based medicine for making vaccine recommendations.”“Vaccines are not all good or bad. If you think that all vaccines are safe and effective and want them all, or if you think that all vaccines are dangerous and don’t want any of them, then you don’t have much use for us—you already know what you want,” he said.“But if you wish to know which vaccines are suitable for you and your children and at what ages, then we will provide you with evidence-based recommendations,” he added.ACIP members who were removed by Kennedy said the panel has “lost credibility.” The former members wrote in a July 30 New England Journal of Medicine commentary that the process for recommending vaccines is “rapidly eroding.”On Aug. 1, the CDC notified some outside groups that they can no longer participate in panels that review vaccine data and form recommendations for the ACIP.The panels meet behind closed doors and typically include members of the ACIP, which advises the CDC on vaccines. The workgroups are also composed of experts from liaison organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics.Groups that employ the experts have been informed that they won’t be part of the workgroups any longer, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CDC’s parent agency, told The Epoch Times on Aug. 1.An official said some groups are being removed from the workgroups because of concerns that they have conflicts of interest.For instance, the American Pharmacists Association lists vaccine manufacturers such as GlaxoSmithKline and Moderna among its corporate supporters.“Under the old ACIP, outside pressure to align with vaccine orthodoxy limited asking the hard questions. The old ACIP members were plagued by conflicts of interest, influence, and bias. We are fulfilling our promise to the American people to never again allow those conflicts to taint vaccine recommendations,” Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the HHS, told The Epoch Times in an email.A healthcare worker fills a syringe with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami on Oct. 5, 2021. Lynne Sladky/AP PhotoLast month, six medical organizations—including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM)—and a pregnant woman filed a lawsuit against HHS and Kennedy in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleging that they intentionally removed vaccines and unjustly removed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s entire vaccine advisory panel.The legal action seeks preliminary and permanent injunctions to stop Kennedy’s new COVID vaccine recommendations and a declaratory judgment declaring the decision unlawful.Jack Phillips and Zachary Stieber contributed to this report.
