Judge declines to order New York to include ‘abortion’ in description of ballot measure
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A New York judge said Friday he won’t force state election officials to tell voters that a proposed antidiscrimination amendment to the state’s constitution would protect abortion rights, dealing a blow to Democrats who pushed for the change. The decision from Judge David A. Weinstein came in a lawsuit over the language that voters will see on ballots this November explaining what the proposed Equal Rights Amendment would do if passed. Democrats wanted the state Board of Elections to include the words “ abortion ” and “LGBT,” arguing that they would make the amendment’s purpose clearer to voters. Supporters of the measure said it would protect abortion access by expanding the state’s antidiscrimination protections. But Weinstein said he was reluctant to declare that the amendment would protect abortion rights.

Islanders & NHL News: An injury, some branding, a McGruntled trade
All is pretty quiet but here in late August we have occasion to mention “training camp” in reference to one of the links below. Anthony Duclair had fun with Lou’s stupid rule about short hair, sharing an image of his shorn locks. People reacted with tones ranging from outrage to ho-hum (Slow news day!). I don’t get all outraged over it, but I do maintain that Lou’s rule is absolutely, categorically stupid — like you’ve run out of ways and cliches to convey “team.” You know he’d ban tattoos and wedding rings if he could...but those are harder to pull off.
