Lastly, we can deputize under- and unemployed parents to ramp up services to our housing-insecure students, hire them as unionized custodians to keep our schools clean and prevent another COVID-19 outbreak. The public sector must become a place to expand opportunities, not a casualty of the calamity. Especially our homeless, but all students, also need free internet and ChromeBooks. Unfortunately this is not the last we are going to see of new sicknesses, and we need better means and policies to allow internet communication and videoconferencing if school is out again. In addition, to protect our undocumented families who do not qualify for extended unemployment insurance benefits, the district can provide cash payments available to them at schools to stay afloat in these uncertain times. Jackson Potter, Chicago Teachers Union trustee, teacher at Back of the Yards High School
Homeless on Red Line
So the mayor closes the parks and now the CTA Red Line has eight or nine homeless people in each car.
Australian Open: Serena Williams falls to Naomi Osaka in women’s semifinal - Chicago Sun-Times
"Marca Bristo was a courageous, visionary leader who dedicated more than 40 years of her life to breaking down barriers for people with disabilities, " Clinton said in a statement. "From her pioneering advocacy with Access Living, to her role in drafting the Americans with Disabilities Act, to her outstanding service as Chair of the National Council on Disability during my Presidency, Marca helped give millions of Americans the opportunities to participate in all aspects of our nation's life. She touched hearts, opened minds, and changed America forever. We should all give thanks for her life, service, and example. " Senator Tammy Duckworth called Bristo a friend and counselor, recalling how Bristo reached out after Duckworth lost her legs to combat wounds in Iraq. "Without Marca's work over the last 30 years, the Americans with Disabilities Act would not be in existence and I would not be a U. S. Senator, " Duckworth said. "Because she crawled up the steps of the United States Capitol to pass the ADA, I get to roll through its corridors to cast my votes in the U. Senate. "
"I was just really, like, nervous and scared, I think, at the beginning, " said Osaka, who was born in Japan and moved to the U. when she was 3. "And then I sort of eased my way into it. " Didn't take long to right herself. Suddenly, it was Osaka powering in aces, putting groundstrokes right where she wanted, covering the court so well. Williams' movement has been terrific in Melbourne, but she was flat-footed this time. Osaka never has tried to hide how much she admires Williams and models her game after the American's. Both are predicated on the same basic elements of big serves and quick-strike forehands, and not only did Osaka do both better on this day, she even sounded just like her idol, screaming "Come on! " after several key shots. There was one last test for Osaka. A trio of double-faults in one game — she wound up with eight for the match — allowed Williams to break for 4-all. But Oska regained her composure immediately, breaking back at love with the help of a pair of backhand winners and a double-fault from Williams, then holding at love to end it.

The 61-year-old — who has broken barriers as a player, as a coach in the WNBA, head coach in NBA G League and in the NBA as assistant — learned quickly that building relationships was the skeleton key to erasing gender hurdles and opening opportunities in the league. That, along with an occasional assist from forward thinking men like former coach Don Nelson, who in 2009 hired her as the head coach of the Texas Legends, the Dallas Mavericks' G League affiliate. Several have continued Nelson's vision, including San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich, who made Becky Hammon the NBA's first full-time assistant in 2014; current Mavericks' coach Rick Carlisle (he hired Jenny Boucek as assistant in 2017) and the Sacramento Kings organization, which has been responsible for hiring three women as assistants (Lieberman, Boucek and Lindsay Harding). Even the BIG3, spearheaded by founder and entertainer Ice Cube, is helping normalize the idea of women leading men, Lieberman said. Nancy Lieberman remembers a time when the presence of women in the NBA was hard to spot.
On the sideline, Washington NBA All-Stars John Wall and Bradley Beal were wearing the Wizard assistant's WNBA jersey and dancing from the stands. NBA players are treating the feedback from Toliver and the other women in the league with the same reverence they give their male counterparts. "The biggest thing I learned is to share your voice and what you've learned, " Toliver said. "Doing that has helped me communicate with my guys. " Toliver is in a unique salary situation since she coaches for the Washington Wizards and plays for the Washington Mystics — both owned by same franchise. She was only paid about $10, 000 with the Wizards last year because of WNBA salary cap rules. WNBA teams can only pay all their players a combined $50, 000 in offseason to supplement pay and Washington only had $10, 000 left to pay Toliver. Washington Mystics guard Kristi Toliver celebrates after her 3-point basket during the first half of Game 5 of the WNBA Finals against the Connecticut Sun in Washington.
Practice is over and Boston Celtics assistant coach Kara Lawson is still working. She stands under the basket rebounding and giving feedback to rookie guard Carsen Edwards as he shoots from different spots on the court. After swishing his final three attempts he jogs over to her. "Thanks, coach, " Edwards says before exchanging a high-five with Lawson. Welcome to the new-look NBA, in which women's footprints are directly impacting every aspect of the game — from broadcasting booths, to officiating, coaching on the sidelines, front-office executives to ownership. Lawson is one of a record 11 women serving as assistant coaches in the NBA this season, while former WNBA stars Swin Cash and Sue Bird are working in NBA front offices. "It's not a fad, " said Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman. "It's opportunities going to very accomplished women who have given their life to the game. " While it may not be a fad, it is a recent trend. Lieberman remembers a time when the presence of women was hard to spot, or at best found only behind the scenes.
What it's like to fight wildfires in 2020 And, despite the fact that we're well into fall, the fire season still isn't over. In Oregon, wildfires usually slow down around Labor Day, but the Holiday Farm Fire, for instance, burned more than 173, 000 acres in September and October. Firefighter Doug Thackery, 56, a forester with the Oregon Department of Forestry in southwest Oregon, was among the first to respond. Fast Company spoke with him about his experience, which has been edited for clarity and space. In my day job, I'm a stewardship forester. I ensure that loggers comply with the Oregon Department of Forestry's rules and regulations. But everybody within ODF has some role in firefighting, whether it's seasonal work or doing frontline firefighting like I do. When a fire breaks out, I drop what I'm doing and go there. Up until Labor Day weekend was a really slow summer for me. That weekend, I ended up being a task force leader on the Grizzly Creek Fire [ first reported near Ashland, Oregon].
