It’s been a little less than six months since Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died at the age of 87. Before her death, Ginsburg’s vocal dissents on the Supreme Court and her status as one of the longest serving female justices gave her a certain cache. Art and pop culture came to immortalize the “notorious RBG.” In 2018, the documentary riffing off that designation, simply titled “RBG,” secured two Oscar nominations for its look at Ginsburg’s life and career. It was then followed by Mimi Leder’s scripted biopic, “On the Basis of Sex.” Ginsburg’s death rocked an already bleak 2020, and as the government slowly starts to come out of things, complete with a new President and a predominately conservative Supreme Court, audiences are getting a new documentary: Freida Lee Mock’s “Ruth:

Overland High School Principal Aleshia Armour died over the weekend due to what Cherry Creek Schools described as natural causes. To allow students and staff time to process the loss, the high school in Aurora canceled classes on Monday. “We are devastated and heartbroken by this loss to our school community and will make every effort to help you and your child as you need during this difficult time,” Cherry Creek Schools Superintendent Scott Siegfried said in a message to the Overland community. A message from Overland Athletics said Armour was a “beacon of love, strength, honor, integrity and passion in the Overland community.” pic.twitter.com/SV9fh1bAGi — Overland Athletics (@WeAreOverland) March 1, 2021 “Principal Armour, we vow to continue fighting for all the ideals and beliefs y...

Summary List PlacementAmericans have had two extremely similar authorized COVID-19 vaccines since December: one mRNA vaccine from Pfizer, and another mRNA vaccine from Moderna. But now, there is another coronavirus shot authorized for use across the US: Johnson & Johnson's adenovirus jab, which got a green light from the US Food and Drug Administration on Saturday, after an expert committee unanimously recommended it should receive emergency use authorization Friday evening.  In trials around the world, J&J's shot was shown to be 66% effective at preventing coronavirus infections altogether, and 85% effective at preventing severe COVID-19 cases, when given four weeks to take effect. Taken at face value, that may not appear as good as Moderna or Pfizer's two-shot vaccines, both o...

As always, thanks to everyone who submitted questions for this week’s mailbag. How can the Warriors get more offensive production from Andrew Wiggins? Do they need to run plays for him? Or is this all they can reasonably expect from him on that end of the floor while he is exerting so much energy on defense? — Nick Cromwell. After averaging 17.9 points on 50.5% shooting and 40% from 3-point range in January, Wiggins averaged 16.1 points on 44.9% shooting and 27.3% from 3-point range in February. He ended the month with a three-point, 1-for-5 shooting dud in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers. But as the calendar flips to March, now is not the time to overreact. While Wiggins can’t be expected to be a 40% 3-point shooter, he should be closer to his career average of 34% by the end of the season. W

Summary List Placement Having a bike pump in your cycling kit ensures that your tires are always inflated to their ideal pressure. There are generally three types of bike pumps to consider: Floor pumps, hand pumps, and C02 inflators. Our top pick, the Specialized Air Tool Comp V2, is durable and accurate, and is a great choice for any kind of cyclist. Table of Contents: Masthead StickyBike tires go flat for many reasons and while a flat is never ideal, it's even worse to be caught without the means for fixing it. With a reliable bike pump, you can keep rolling either by fixing the tire itself or inflating a new tube. Regardless of how you use it, it's smart to always have one on-hand and in your cycling pack whenever you head out. Before shopping, it's important to understand the differen

A hoppy and vaguely Hitchcockian two-hander about a famous German-Spanish actor named Daniel who stops for a drink in the wrong bar on his way to an audition for the Hollywood superhero movie that could elevate his career to new heights, Daniel Brühl’s directorial debut — in which the artist formerly known as Baron Zemo also stars as the aforementioned German-Spanish actor — is never sharper or more assured than when it leans into the meta element and takes the piss out of self-obsessed stars. Though shot with a clear sense of tone that allows the film to straddle dark comedy and light thriller, “Next Door” finds itself on much shakier ground whenever the focus switches to the sour boomer our hero meets in the pub that fateful Berlin afternoon. Daniel fails to recognize the man sitting on

After several years as a police officer, I became an FBI agent to help protect our country by focusing on the most serious public safety threats to our citizens. I soon realized that in some ways, our justice system is set up not to prevent crime but to maximize prison sentences. Long prison sentences have unintended consequences, helping to create hardened criminal defendants instead of rehabilitating them.  Many prison inmates suffer from untreated mental illnesses, and in the absence of treatment, extended incarceration only makes them worse.  A prime example I’ve seen time and time again is the counterproductive use of sentencing enhancements — which automatically add more time to a prison sentence because someone was a suspected gang member or had a weapon in their car, even if the we
