Blue Origin, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's space tourism company, completed its latest spaceflight on Monday with a six-member all-female crew that included pop singer Katy Perry; CBS Mornings host Gayle King; and Lauren Sánchez, an author, TV host turned philanthropist and Bezos's fiancée.They were joined by activist Amanda Nguyen, ex-NASA engineer Aisha Bowe and film producer Kerianne Flynn on the suborbital flight, which lasted less than 11 minutes.King defended the Blue Origin mission in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday after hearing criticism from people she knows, likes and “considers friends.”uaydarius Davis, a former 4-star recruit from Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas, was arrested and charged with burglary, domestic abuse and battery by strangulation, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WFAA. Davis, who played college football for Jackson State University, Texas Southern University and most recently Southern University, according to his player bio on ESPN.com, was arrested in Tulsa, Okla., after video footage showed him choking a woman until she lost consciousness, according to the affidavit.Coachella ticket prices are around $599, to experience headliners like Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Post Malone. But how are fans paying that in this economy? Thanks to payment plans, those steep costs are becoming increasingly manageable. This year, around 60% of general admission ticket buyers used Coachella's in-house payment plan, which allowed fans to reserve tickets for as little as $49.99 upfront. The remaining balance was typically spread over three months—a model reshaping how festivals are marketed.

He's coming for it all.  2025 is the year of Hobbs Kessler.  Back on the podcast today is 21-year-old mid-distance Olympic star Hobbs Kessler, who is gearing up for the Wanamaker Mile at the Milrose Games in New York City on February 8, 2025. (Hobbs came in 2nd last year at this race with a time of 3:48.66; fellow American star Yared Nuguse took the win.) Hobbs was most recently on the episode right after placing 5th in the 1500m in Paris, running a 3:29.45, in the most stacked and competitive 1500 race of all time. He also ran the 800m in the Olympics, but was eliminated in the semifinals.  Hobbs competed for Skyline High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan (the school he attended for academics did not offer competitive sports). It was in high school that Hobbs ran an indoor mile record of 3:57.66. Hobbs then ran a 3:34.36 in the 1500m while still in high school, which was faster than the NCAA record at the time; this catapulted him to his first Olympic Trials in 2021.  While Hobbs' father was his high school coach, he delegated most of the planning for his son's training to Michigan coach Ron Warhurst, whom he still trains under as a member of the Very Nice Track Club in Michigan. This 21-year-old is chock full of professionalism and has a laundry list of accomplishments.  In today's conversation, we dive into Hobbs's fall training, his mindset for the Millrose games and the 2025 season, how he views breakthroughs, advice to make your 2025 your best year yet, why 2025 is the year of Hobbs Kessler, and so much more.  We can't wait for you to hear this episode. Lace-up your shoes, throw in your AirPods, and enjoy this conversation with the legend Hobbs Kessler.  Tap into the Hobbs Kessler Special.   If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it.  If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!

Sometimes the road to professional football takes a non-traditional path. Colorado native Gabe Knapton knows that trail well.After playing linebacker for his dad, who demanded a lot as the head coach at Skyline High School in Longmont, Gabe had his choice of many colleges to continue his playing career. It came down to Wyoming and Colorado State. He chose to be a Cowboy because of alumni in his family and most importantly, the coaches.  During his time in Laramie, the staff switched Gabe from linebacker to defensive end. He made the transition look easier than it was because of his motor and non-stop hustle. In reality, it was difficult to learn a very different position and physically he was still more like a linebacker. Regardless, he had hopes of getting drafted in the NFL and while a few teams called during the draft, no one called his name or his agent. Unsure of what to do at that point, Gabe's dad suggested taking a year off, working out and staying ready. So, he took a gap year before gap years were cool and eventually played indoor football with the Colorado Ice, then got his break with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League. He would be named Montreal's Rookie of the Year and go on to play for several years in the CFL between Montreal and the BC Lions. In retirement, Gabe is a busy guy: husband, father of two, owner of Different Breed Performance gym and a firefighter with the City of Thornton.  Listen to Gabe's story and conversation with Susie Wargin on the Cut Traded Fired Retired Podcast.

“The only thing that is guaranteed in college is that your career will NOT go exactly as you imagined.”A year ago, the legendary coach, Chris Petersen shared that line with the best high school quarterbacks in the nation at the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles and I watched it land like a Simone Biles gold medal routine.As I criss-cross the nation and watch QBs like Oregon's Dillon Gabriel, Penn State's Drew Allar and today, Will Howard at Ohio State compete in training camp, I keep thinking about that line and as each QB drops back to pass I can't help but recognize that each of these signal callers have met their fair share of adversity.Like Coach Petersen said: it's not IF, but WHEN adversity hits.We are in a different era in college football, as 46 projected starters in Power 4 football are transfers. Each of those quarterbacks comes with a story of adversity, and how they had to meet it and compete to work through it. If I'm honest, I think the majority of transfers are leaving their college of choice too soon and robbing themselves of staring those hard times in the eye. If I were to offer advice, I'd urge QBs to make a contract with themselves and to commit to at least 2 years at their initial school, pending a coaching change, and regardless of their place on the depth chart, to compete and lean into the joy of the work. Then take stock of what they learned about themselves on the other side of adversity.One quarterback who transferred and met that adversity is Jake Heaps, who has seen it in numerous unexpected styles of his quarterback life. He shared his lessons learned in our latest conversation, presented by our founding partner 76.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In my football life, I've learned that it's rare to be able to see life through the lens of a quarterback. It's even rarer to see it through the lens of a 5-Star QB, Elite 11 MVP, freshman starter, two-time transfer, NFL QB, media personality, NFL QB trainer and entrepreneur. But for those that can, there are lessons to be learned. And for those that can't, today's conversation is for you.Jake left Skyline High School in Seattle, WA as an 18-year-old with huge dreams. In 2009, Jake was the Elite 11 MVP and crowned the top quarterback in high school football. He arrived at BYU as a heralded recruit and backed up the hype, starting as a true freshman and even beating the school's freshman record for TDs held by Ty Detmer. But after that first year, his path began to meet adversity and Jake began to learn about himself in the most unexpected and powerful way.He would transfer to Kansas under Charlie Weis, and eventually Miami under Al Golden before starting his professional playing career with the New York Jets, signing as an undrafted free agent. We met in 2009 during the Elite 11 Finals and over the past decade have worked together with that organization, coaching the next generation of QBs. Jake is a product of his experiences and has chosen to pour into quarterbacks across the globe. We discussed what matters most to be an elite QB, advice to parents of recruits and that to be a special player only one thing can cut through, regardless of craft. The work, or as Jake says, “You can't cheat the grind.”Hope you enjoy our conversation and be sure to give Y-Option a follow on Twitter and Instagram for today's report from Columbus, as we get to see one of the most talented teams in recent college football history as part of our Big Ten Network Training Camp Tour.Much love,YogiThis episode is produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Jessica Altman.This podcast is a Best Coast Media production.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

He has built standup arcades and as a child, a pulley system to turn off his bedroom lights from his bed. Jess is a natural athlete and pain seems to only mildly affect him. From a young age, Jess played football, baseball, wrestled, and ran cross country. He goes so hard in flag football, that he once broke both pinky fingers in one day. Jess also placed second in state wrestling with broken ribs his senior year. However, Jess never could quite catch a break when it came to sports injuries and this was a large source of frustration for him.  That is when he found biking. With the physical determination of a high school wrestler, and the social awkwardness of a high school choir boy, Jess was kind of destined to end up on a bike. Jess got on a road bike for the first time in 2016 after finding a cheap Giant on KSL. It was truly love at first ride. The next two years brought a lot of travel and moving around, so it wasn't until 2019 that Jess was actually able to start investing time into biking. He has had setbacks, including a major crash in 2020 and a car accident previously that has caused nagging back issues. But, Jess is determined and has pushed on. Jess is loved by all who meet him. He even crashed his in-laws car in high school and they still let him marry their daughter. He is mindful of others and always looking for ways to build relationships and bring joy into others' lives. He has the biggest heart of anyone you will ever meet and is by far the favorite uncle to his 25+ nieces and nephews. When not cycling, Jess can be found hanging out with his mother-in-law, tinkering with things around the house, watching formula one, or investing in crypto. Although he may not admit it, Jess loves a good bachelor night with a nice and cold swig drink and some fresh cookies. Jess' passion for biking is profound. He rides simply because he LOVES it. Biking is a way for him to experience the beauty of the world, cope with the stressors of life (especially those put upon him by his wife

Charmeachealle ‘Mike' Moore was captivated by football early in life. With the sport running through his family's veins, Mike hankered for NFL glory. Mediocre academic performance and a competitive athletic culture at the Skyline High School forced Mike to go into overdrive, landing him a football scholarship with Kansas State University. A slew of extreme highs and lows ensued in rapid succession. He successfully fended off a brain tumor, completed his Bachelor's degree in Family Studies and Human Services in two years, became a father, and got married. However, the sudden loss of his own father, back surgery and divorce dealt severe blows to Mike, who was now on the cusp of the NFL. Suicidal thoughts and alcoholism introduced forceful darkness in his life. Mike's young daughter's words helped him claw his way back to life, leading to his ultimate decision to relinquish football and start a new purposeful mission, “We Living” and relinquished his football quest.

"I have a really unique privilege of being able to do both worlds. I don't know if anyone's been able to work out with pros and do their easy runs with their high school team. It's super cool. It just works because of the circumstances of my dad being the coach and Ron (Warhurst) being the assistant coach at Skyline. I definitely wish a lot of people knew I'm not just training like a pro. I work out with those guys but I'm a high schooler and I treat running like I'm a high schooler. I just have fun with my teammates and jump in the river on runs and stuff." Hobbs Kessler is a high school senior competing for Skyline High School in Ann Arbor. He just made history this past weekend by running 3:34.36 for a new U.S. high school 1,500m record but it’s also now faster than the recent 3:34.68 NCAA record. Kessler’s time is faster than Jim Ryun’s U-20 record of 3:36.1 that was run back in 1966. And of course, this guarantees Kessler’s spot at the U.S. Olympic Trials later this month. What’s next for him? Well, he’s looking to win his first state title this weekend when he goes up against other people his age at the Michigan high school state meet. In this episode, you’ll learn more about his backstory including a better understanding of just how great of a rock climber he is, why his parents are his role models as runners, how coach Ron Warhurst plays the Yoda role in the Very Nice Track Club, the buzz about turning pro and much more.

Miami Dolphins Tales From The DeepRaised in Oakland, California, Davone Bess starred at Skyline High School under the direction of Oakland area coaching legend, John Beam. Bess received a scholarship offer to Oregon State, however a post-graduation arrest led to the loss of his scholarship and more than a year in the Byron Boys Ranch Juvenile Facility. With help from Coach Beam, Bess overcame the odds and ultimately attended the University of Hawaii, where he would set school records with 293 receptions and 41 touchdowns in just three seasons. Despite his success at Hawaii, Bess went undrafted in 2008 and signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. Bess not only made the team, but finished the regular season with 54 receptions, second most in NFL history for an undrafted rookie wideout. In one of the most powerful Fish Tank episodes to date, Davone candidly shares the details of his arrest after high school, as well as the lessons he learned while incarcerated. He fondly recalls his days with the Miami Dolphins, including barbeques at Paul Soliai's house, and the camaraderie he shared with fellow wide receivers Ted Ginn, Jr. and Greg Camarillo. Davone is also extremely honest and vulnerable as he opens up about his post career struggles with depression.

LaToya Renee London (born December 29, 1978) is an American R&B and soul singer and stage actress who was fourth-place finalist on the third season of American Idol. Her debut album, Love & Life, was released in September 2005 and spawned a number of moderate R&B chart hits. She has concentrated on stage work, including originating and performing the role of Nettie in the national tour of the Broadway musical The Color Purple from 2007 to 2010, for which she won an Ovation Award.[1] She was the lead in the U.S. regional debut of The Bodyguard, a musical based on the 1992 film London was born in San Francisco, California and raised in Oakland, California, where she had her first public musical performance when, at the age of 7, she sang in her mother's wedding. Her interest in singing began when she was just 4 years old, when she frequently sang when attending Allen Temple Baptist church. As a teenager, she sang with the Oakland Youth Chorus from 1993 to 1996. In 1996, she graduated from Skyline High School (the same school actor Tom Hanks and basketball player Gary Payton attended). She also worked as a waitress and a bartender and sang in a Christian rock group. She was also a backup vocalist and did frequent guest vocals for several Bay Area artists. When she began American Idol, she was the lead vocalist in a band, All-Star Jukebox, which usually performed at weddings. London auditioned for the third season of American Idol in Los Angeles, California. Although she moved on through each round, she had not been featured prominently in any aired footage and was written off by many fans before the first studio performances. However, as a member of the third group of eight semifinalists, she sang Eric Carmen's "All by Myself," and received a standing ovation from celebrity judges Donna Summer, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. Jackson labeled her performance as "brilliant" and "what the search for a superstar is all about," Abdul called her "unbelievable" and praised her "quiet confidence," and Simon Cowell said she was "the best of the group" and that it was a "superb, outstanding performance." She was voted through to the final 12 contestants with 32.3 percent of audience votes, the largest percentage for every week of the semifinals.In the following nine weeks, London had several high points on American Idol. Cowell called her performance of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" "amazing" and "awesome." Abdul said that she reminded her of "a young Gladys Knight" after she performed the Garth Brooks song "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)," Nickolas Ashford of famed soul duo Ashford & Simpson called her performance of "Ooo Baby Baby" by Smokey Robinson as "beautiful" and full of "sex appeal," Film director Quentin Tarantino called her a "powerhouse" after her performance of "Somewhere" from the musical West Side Story, and Cowell announced her as "the best singer in the competition" after she sang "All the Time" by Barry Manilow and gave her "a ten out of ten" for her performance of "Don't Rain on My Parade," which also garnered standing ovations from Abdul and Jackson.London was central to one of the first controversies of the show. On April 21, 2004, the night after the final seven contestants performed Barry Manilow songs, London, Jennifer Hudson, and eventual winner Fantasia Barrino ended up in the bottom three with the least viewer votes. Together, these three had been dubbed "The Three Divas" for their critically acclaimed performances.[3] London had the highest vote totals out of the three, and Hudson was ultimately eliminated. Because all three of the singers were African American and the frontrunners of the competition, music icon Elton John deemed the voting as "racist," igniting a flurry of news and speculation over the validity of the voting system. John complained at a promotional news conference that, "The three people I was really impressed with, and they just happened to be black, young female singers, and they all seem to be landing in the bottom three."London's second controversy occurred on May 11, 2004, when the final four contestants each performed two disco songs. Simon Cowell, who previously endorsed her as the best singer in the competition, suggested that his only complaint with London was that after ten weeks he still did not know anything at all about her. Cowell also suggested that contestant Jasmine Trias would almost certainly be voted off the next day. However, on May 12, London became the ninth of the 12 finalists to be eliminated, finishing in fourth place, with Barrino also landing in the bottom two. London's farewell song was "Don't Rain on My Parade. Immediately after being eliminated from the series, London was featured in the Norman Lear-helmed Declare Yourself voting campaign by famed photographer David LaChapelle, alongside music stars like Christina Aguilera and André 3000. Her appearance on Idol host Ryan Seacrest's daily television talk show was one of its highest-rated episodes, and Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown officially declared May 4 to be LaToya London Day; one month later, she officially received the key to the city. Her rendition of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes "If You Don't Know Me by Now" on the top-selling compilation disc, American Idol Season 3: Greatest Soul Classics, was praised as one of the album's best. She was also heavily featured on the group track, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."In the summer of 2004, London performed with the other top 10 finalists in American Idol season three international tour, which crossed the United States and also visited China and Singapore. She had a guest co-hosting gig on the national entertainment news show, Access Hollywood, and she has performed for such events and galas as the Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation, 100 Black Men of America, and the Clear Channel holiday party. London has also performed the national anthem for numerous National Football League games, including the 2005 Super Bowl NFL Commissioner pre-game party. She has shared the stage with such icons and superstars as Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Barry Manilow, Gladys Knight, Nancy Wilson, Chaka Khan, Rachelle Ferrell, Goapele, and Burt Bacharach.In November 2004, it was announced that London had been signed to jazz recording label Peak Records, an imprint of Concord Records, the final label of jazz legend Ray Charles before his death. Her first single, "Appreciate," which featured a guest rap from Black Thought of the Hip-Hop group The Roots, hit the airwaves in July, and a music video of that song followed. The CD single, "Appreciate/Every Part of Me/All By Myself" reached number eight on the Billboard Singles Sales Chart. The single sold 8,500 units.2005–2006: Love & LifeHer debut studio album, Love & Life, was released on September 20, 2005. A mix of R&B, soul, jazz, and hip-hop, Love & Life featured songwriting by London, along with songs by well-known producers such as David Foster and Narada Michael Walden.

Photo: A younger Alan Blueford, a Skyline High School student who was shot in the back by then-Oakland police officer Miguel Masso Interview with Jeralynn and Adam Blueford https://kpfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Alan-Blueford.mp3 jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var media = $('#audio-338843-88'); media.on('canplay', function (ev) { this.currentTime = 0; }); }); ThisIsLucyKang · “My heart was shattered to pieces”: Remembering Alan Blueford On May 6, 2012, then-Oakland police officer Miguel Masso shot and killed 18-year old Alan Blueford, a student at Skyline High School. Masso shot Alan in the back, as he was running away. Alan is survived by his parents, Jeralynn and Adam Blueford. The following is an edited excerpt from a longer interview with them: ______ Jeralynn: His smile would light up the room. It was something special about this kid, all the way around. And I get that all the time from every friend, every person that knew him, his conversation. And more than three or four of his friends would say that they have a hard time seeing me because they see him in me and that they would kind of get jealous because we had such a close bond and such a good relationship that they would want that with their mom. And that whenever he called me wherever, whatever he was doing, like you always showed up. He would say, wait a minute, I'm going to call my mom. I'm hungry. And you would come and bring him a burger. Or you would come and pick him up. And you know, just those kinds of things. It, one, solidified the love between us, that other people could see our love. And also it just magnifies the loss. So yeah, I miss that kid. Adam: I can say that Alan was wise beyond his age. Every time I cooked something or have something good to eat, I could tell if he liked it or not. And I don't cook all the time. So it's just something that we had between me and him. I could tell just the way he looked if he liked it or not, and he'll be ready to give me a big grin. He had a real great big smile. You know, I'll tease him a little and say how he like it or whatever. We'll go on from there. I spoke to Alan that night, about a half an hour or so before he was murdered. He was calling me. And I didn't know if he might've wanted me to come pick him up. I always got that in my mind. But he was telling me he was in Oakland. He's okay. He's waiting on a girl in a white Chrysler to pick up. He was there about to walk into the Booker's [liquor] store. I told him Oakland is a rough place, watch out, this and that. This was happening about a half an hour before that happened. So he called me and he was ready to, he's trying to get a ride home actually. He didn't make it. Jeralynn: When he died, I had a nervous breakdown. I was really bad. Like I couldn't stop crying, like days on days and days and weeks and months. I could never keep my focus. I could never go a day without crying. When I saw other mothers with their kids, I would just feel terrible because I didn't have my love. For a long time, I didn't want to even open my heart in that way because my heart was shattered to pieces. And I didn't feel like I could love. And that love hurt so bad that I didn't want… I just closed myself off. And then I went through a period of anger. And I did everything out of anger. “For a long time, I didn't want to even open my heart… because my heart was shattered to pieces.” When a tragedy like that happens to you, you think it's just you. Grief is very personal. And you feel like nobody will ever understand how you feel. But when you're hurt that deeply, it's a dark, dark place. And it's very difficult to live or even maneuver through the dark. And it's a really tough thing to do. Especially like my husband said, knowing how he was treated and the things that they did to him. And it wasn't, you know, the story they tell that…. It's not like the good guys and the bad guys. It's not like cowboys and Indians or anything like that. What it is, is because of the color of your skin that you're treated in that way. And for somebody [to] just look at a person and decide that they're not good or they're bad because of the color of their skin, it's awful. Nobody should be judged in that way. Nobody. I will not stop. I can't stop. I'll never stop until we get justice for Alan Blueford. ______ Jeralynn and Adam Blueford have both since been on the frontlines in the fight against police violence. Despite community outcry and a history of violent offenses by Officer Masso, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley declined to press charges against the officers involved in Alan's death, as she has with every other case that has come before her in her tenure. Officer Masso is currently employed by the Hollister Police Department where he has also brutalized other community members, including an elderly man. The family is circulating a petition to fire him, linked below.  Links: The Alan Blueford Foundation The Alan Blueford Center for Justice Current petition to fire Hollister Police Officer Miguel Masso ______ This story is part of the series TAKEN FROM US: Remembering lives lost to police violence.

They've lived in various places including Nebraska, Idaho, Illinois and California.

Rocky Lambourne the Principle at Bonneville Jr High, was nominated by a former student when he was a teacher at Skyline High School over 20 years ago. The anonymous former student claimed he was not a very good student and felt like he "needed to break him in". "Within five minutes of being in his class, I had disrupted, annoyed, and then finally threw (and hit him) with a wadded up piece of paper. I knew he was going to unleash the dogs on me, and he did." He goes on to say that the next day it surprised him because "He just wanted to get to know me, which was weird. We hit it off right away, and by the end of the conversation, he had offered me a job mowing lawns with his Lawn Care crew that he ran after school to make ends meet. I accepted." "If there was ever a teacher who deserved to be recognized, it’s Rocky Lambourne; a man who has devoted his entire life to being a friend, helping others, coaching, teaching, leading, and being a champion for those kids who couldn’t do it on their own."  Mr. Lambourne receives a special recognition award from Zions Bank, an overnight stay at the Anniversary Inn, dinner for two at the Roof Restaurant downtown, and two season passes to the Hale Center Theater. At the end of the year, one lucky teacher will win the lease of a new car provided by Burt Bros. Tire and Service.

Haben Girma grew up in Oakland, CA with her parents insisting that being Deaf-Blind did not mean she couldn’t attend her local public school. She transitioned from Skyline High School to the Department of Rehabilitation where she and her counselor began talking about the technology she would need to attend college—like note takers. (Haben uses a wireless Apple keyboard that transmits to a digital braille computer, which she is then able to read in digital braille.) DOR also sent her to the National Federation for the Blind’s living skills center to help prepare her for the dorms.
