“General Flynn served honorably throughout his 33-year military career. ... In becoming National Security Advisor, General Flynn is taking on a very different and challenging new civilian role,” Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement Thursday that was released before Flynn was formally offered the job. “He is familiar with the complex set of security challenges we face. ... It’s incumbent on any National Security Advisor to provide unbiased and fact-based advice. I hope the Trump Administration will begin to detail its plans to advance America’s national security interests."
The contents of late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman’s will are being reported, and it looks like he wanted t make sure his family was taken care of. He left everything to his estranged partner Mimi O’Donnell.
The will was apparently written back in 2004, when the couple only had one child, now 10-year-old son Cooper. Little sisters Tallulah, 7, and Willa, 5, later joined the family, although it doesn’t seem as though Hoffman’s will was updated.
Hoffman made clear that he did not want his children raised in Hollywood. He stipulated that Cooper be raised in Manhattan so that “he could experience the culture, arts, and architecture that the city provides.” He also listed Chicago and San Francisco as possible alternatives, but made no mention whatsoever of Los Angeles, despite Hoffman’s frequent trips to Tinsel Town.
The request shouldn’t be too difficult to see through, as the family is currently residing in downtown Manhattan. Hoffman lived in nearby Greenwich Village at the time of his death.
Hoffman was an involved dad, often photographed around town chilling with his kids. He once reported to Us Weekly: "My spare time is really about hanging out with my kids … If I'm free, a good chuck of that is going to be thinking about how to hang out with them."
It’s no surprise that he wanted to make sure they were taken care of.
How would you want your kids to be raised if you were gone?
The 20-year-old also gave manager Derek McInnes food for thought ahead of the Europa League clash with Burnley on Thursday July 26.
In the second half of last season, Niall McGinn and Gary Mackay-Steven were the preferred wide options but Wright is clearly determined to play a part in the proceedings.
This is an important campaign for the Aberdonian winger.
Having made the breakthrough at the tail end of the 2016-17 season, Wright was expected to make a major impact last season.
However, he was restricted to just eight starts and one goal, although his pre-sesaon was affected by an injury sustained at the 2017 Toulon Tournament.
Wright was again in France for the Toulon Tournament with Scotland this summer when they reached the semi-finals. This time he returned fully fit and is clearly ready to stake a claim for a regular starting slot.
Wright was impressive in the testimonial for Saints stalwart Chris Millar as he was a constant menace to the defence with his fast creative runs down the flank. The winger also got on the scoresheet as did striker Stevie May, another to produce a strong shift.
In previous years, the Reds had a small window of only two to three weeks and endured a congested pre-season before their Euro opener.
This summer they have five weeks to prepare for the Battle of Britain with Burnley and have packed in the friendlies.
This away match at St Johnstone was the third of six friendlies that will culminate in a clash against West Brom at Pittodrie on Friday July 20.
Although recently relegated from the English Premier League, the Baggies are essentially a top flight side.
The real acid test of just how prepared the Reds are for the Euro campaign will be against Darren Moore’s West Brom.
Aberdeen are certainly on an upwards trajectory and look sharper and fitter from that first friendly in Cork.
It is all part of a slow-burning build-up to an explosive start to the campaign with Burnley in the Europa League second qualifying round and Rangers in the Premiership.
Boss McInnes hopes to secure a number of new signings before facing the Clarets but the squad is progressing well.
At this stage in pre-season, getting that game sharpness, fitness and understanding within new additions is primary, results are secondary.
There were starts for summer signings Stephen Gleeson and Lewis Ferguson as Dons boss Derek McInnes initially went with a 4-4-2 formation featuring a midfield diamond.
There was a two-pronged attack of Stevie May and Sam Cosgrove while Adam Rooney, Aberdeen’s most prolific goal scorer for the last four straight seasons, was on the bench.
Aberdeeen recently had a bid rejected by Doncaster for striker John Marquis.
McInnes has confirmed the offer was the most the Reds could afford and that they will now look at other centrre-forward targetsin the bid to bolster the attack before the Euro clash with Burnley.
St Johnstone grabbed the lead in the fifth minute when former Aberdeen skipper Richard Foster played a cross from the right into the penalty area.
The delivery found David WOTHERSPOON who took one touch to control before lashing into the net beyond keeper Joe Lewis from 15 yards.
It was the first goal that Aberdeen had conceded in pre-season having defeated Cobh Ramblers 1-0 in Cork and Falkirk 1-0.
Aberdeen hit back in the eighth minute with a swift move down the right flank instigated by Gleeson.
Midfielder Gleeson threaded a superb through ball between four Saints players to find Ferguson.
The 18-year-old picked out Stevie MAY’s diagonal run into the box and the striker dinked a shot beyond keeper Zander Clark.
Moments later May was again involved when he flighted in a cross from the right towards Cosgrove who flicked a header just wide of the far post from 15 yards.
Aberdeen went ahead in the 27th minute through a solo goal from WRIGHT.
The winger collected the ball with his back to goal some 35 yards out, he turned, then drove forward.
Bursting into the box, he fired a lethal finish beyond keeper Clark from 15 yards.
In the 39th minute, Drey Wright stepped wide of Mikey Devlin to open up space but curled his 22-yard wide.
Rooney came on for Cosgrove at half-time and was immediately involved when he met a Wright cross but he headed just wide from the edge of the box.
Moments later the impressive Ferguson curled a 25-yard effort inches wide of Clark’s near post.
Ferguson plays with a maturity and game intelligence well beyond his young age and looks to be a strong addition to the squad.
In the 64th minute, Considine cleared off the line as Greg Hurst got on the end of Liam Craig’s knock-down from close range.
St Johnstone levelled in the 73rd minute when HURST curled an effort beyond keeper Joe Lewis into the top far corner.

Windoek - Over 100 hippos have died in Namibia in a remote national park in the past week, the country's environment minister said on Monday, warning that anthrax could be to blame.
Cells of the bacteria which causes the disease anthrax are able to trigger an unfavorable immune response which allows the organism to evade attack from the body’s defense system. This relates to differences with the bacterium in the spore state.
To delve into the toxicity of anthrax, scientists have constructed a three-dimensional map of the anthrax toxin. The model shows how the toxin is efficiently transferred into the cytoplasm of cells.
A new report has detected a species of Bacillus, genetically distinct to the bacterium that causes anthrax, which causes a similar disease in chimpanzees, gorillas and other animals in Africa.
A cow which died in the British country of Wiltshire has been confirmed as having been infected with anthrax bacteria. The risk to public health is described as low.
Seoul - North Korea has challenged the entire US Congress to come and inspect a bio-tech institute in Pyongyang that US experts have suggested is a facility for mass-producing anthrax for the military.
Washington - A total of 18 laboratories may have accidentally received live samples of anthrax shipped out by the American military, U.S. authorities said.
Washington - As many as 22 people in South Korea and four US lab workers may have been exposed to anthrax after the American military accidentally shipped out at least one live sample, officials said.
Seoul - As many as 22 personnel may have been exposed to anthrax during a laboratory training exercise at a U.S. military base in South Korea, a military statement said Thursday.
Washington - The U.S. military accidentally shipped at least one live anthrax sample across the country to a commercial lab in Maryland and four workers were undergoing medical treatment as a precaution, officials said.
In an attempt to use Bacillus anthracis to kill cancer, scientists have succeeded in sending “antibody mimics” inside tumor cells.
Atlanta - The former head of a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention biosecurity laboratory has left his post following a safety review of U.S. government labs.
Atlanta - Following recent high-profile safety lapses in government labs, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has placed a moratorium on movement of all hazardous biological materials.
Atlanta - The closing of labs at the nation’s premiere medical science labs is a big story but is anyone asking why government seems to be failing so often?
Budapest - Illegally slaughtered beef looks like the source of a recent Anthrax outbreak in Hungary. The beef originated from Tiszafured, a small municipality only 100 miles east of the nation's capital city, Budapest.
Atlanta - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised Thursday that around 75 lab workers in Atlanta may have been infected with anthrax. An investigation into the incident is apparently ongoing.
Anthrax spores represent one of the most likely forms of bioterrorist attack. Researchers have tested a new method for anthrax detection that can identify anthrax in only a few hours.
San Diego scientists say they have found a compound in the ocean off Santa Barbara, Calif., that can kill anthrax and other infectious diseases.
Scientists have caged some dead zebras in Africa to help understand the spread of the killer bacterial disease anthrax amongst animals. The disease is threatening several species.
Scientists have developed chemically treated silk fibers which could be used by the US government as protective sheets in the event of a biological weapons attack. The fibers can also be used for humanitarian relief projects.
A group of scientists are trying to publish a paper on how they created a new flu virus that could wipe out all humanity. The study that produced the virus is the subject of raging controversy, with some scientists saying it should never have been done.
Branxton - A mysterious powder substance has been found in an envelope by employees of the Braxton post office in Hunter Valley, Australia.
London - The Health Protection Agency and NHS London confirmed on Sunday that a person is being treated in hospital after testing positive for anthrax. The patient is a heroin user.
The body responsible for dealing with the threat from infectious diseases in Europe has warned that there is quite likely a batch of heroin circulating on the continent which contains anthrax and has caused the deaths of eight people.
African drums are suspected as a possible source of spores that have left a New Hampshire woman in critical condition with a case of gastrointestinal anthrax.
A second heroin user has died in Glasgow, UK, from anthrax. Health officials in the city confirmed that the man, who had been treated at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, had tested positive for anthrax.
As if the government of Zimbabwe has more than its hands full in dealing with a cholera break, now it has to deal with an anthrax outbreak.

Christopher Gomez is an elementary school teacher at IDEA Academy Mission.
As families from across the nation share their stories of the importance of education and why school choice matters in recognition of this week’s National School Choice Week, I want to explain it from a teacher’s point of view. This week is set aside to educate communities about effective educational options, which include public schools, private schools, homeschooling, and charter management organizations.
When it comes to school choice, I am reminded of the choice I made to become a teacher and the choice my students make every day to commit to success.
I have seen firsthand the benefits and the opportunities that are offered to children who are able to choose a school that best fits their needs. This is a right that all families deserve and is a reason I decided to join the IDEA Public Schools team, a public charter school family that is currently educating more than 36,000 students across the Rio Grande Valley, Austin, San Antonio, and soon to be in El Paso and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
I worked a desk job for 10 years in the business sector before I transitioned into education, on the suggestion of my mother, who is also an educator. I was born and raised in Edinburg and like many in the Rio Grande Valley, I’d heard of the great things IDEA Public Schools was doing for its students. So, on a whim, and on the nudges from my mother, I switched careers and started my education career as a co-teacher at IDEA.
Fast forward a few years, and I’ve grown more confident in my teaching, developed a love for working with kids, and finished my teacher’s license program. I am now a lead teacher, guiding 28 budding students as they learn how to write. We play grammar games, memorize our conjunctions via song, and use them to create our own complex sentences. We develop brainstorming anchor charts together, organize persuasive arguments about the importance of recycling, and tell our very own personal narratives. For expository, step-by-step writing, we set up our own campsite on school grounds — erecting our tent and rolling out the sleeping bag — so that we’re able to more vividly write about it.
IDEA provides these opportunities and opens students’ eyes to a world of possibilities. Even at the elementary level, I have witnessed the commitment IDEA has made to developing all students for success in college and in life. I’ve learned that education works best when it’s synonymous with having fun and developing worthwhile experiences. I’m proud to say that my students have gone on to score exemplary results on state writing tests, proving mastery of the subject, and paving the way to be great writers in whatever field they may pursue in high school, college and beyond.
I’m a teacher who brims with excitement, who loves what he does, and is so glad he made the career choice to switch from working at a desk all day to teaching children how to write. Just as I chose to become a teacher, my students, and their parents, chose to be part of the IDEA team and family.
I am fortunate to have the ability to choose what I want to do for a living. I want all of my students to be just as fortunate, to go out into the world and be whatever they want to be, and choose the best path for their education and life. I’m glad to be doing my part to help, through education, and through writing.
Former President George H.W. Bush in March 2012, when he met with and endorsed Mitt Romney for president.
Heaps of private information about the Bush family, including revelations that patriarch and former President George H.W. Bush’s health issues were so dire that his “funeral team” met to discuss details of his service, have been hacked through one of Bush’s daughters.
A hacker going by the name “Guccifer” accessed private emails and photos by gaining access to the AOL account of Dorothy Bush Koch, daughter of George H.W. Bush and sister of former President George W. Bush, The Smoking Gun reported.
Guccifer then used another online account to post the information, which included self-portrait paintings of George W. Bush showering and bathing and private Bush family photos.
In an email exchange with The Smoking Gun, Guccifer said he accessed “interesting emails” about the Bush family, including the health of George H.W. Bush, who was hospitalized last month with pneumonia; some feared the 88-year-old only had days to live.
An investigation has been launched into the hacking of the confidential emails and private photos, the Houston Chronicle reported, but the Bush family is not responding to the breach.
“We do not comment on matters under criminal investigation," George H.W. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath told the paper.
