In 2012, the Census Bureau announced that nonwhite births exceeded white births for the first time. In 2013, it noted that more whites were dying than were being born. In March, it projected that non-Hispanic whites would be a minority by 2044.
But the forecast of an imminent white minority, which some take as a given, is wrong. We will seem like a majority-white society for much longer than is believed.
The predictions make sense only if you accept the outdated, illogical methods used by the census, which define as a “minority” anyone who belongs to “any group other than non-Hispanic White alone.” In the words “group” and “alone” lie a host of confusions.

Leading all the way, American Pharoah barreled down the stretch and on to victory at the 147th Belmont Stakes Saturday, becoming the first horse in 37 years to win the Triple Crown.
The champion 3-year-old horse seized the lead early and held off all comers in the eight-horse field, and sped away to an insurmountable lead as the crowd roared. American Pharoah covered the 1 1/2 mile distance in 2:26.65, besting the field by 5 1/2 lengths.
“Steady, steady, all the way around,” jubilant jockey Victor Espinoza said after the win. “I had the best feeling after when I took the first turn.

In a tribute to a beloved son and his grieving father, President Obama delivered a moving eulogy Saturday at the packed funeral for Beau Biden, the oldest child of Vice President Joe Biden.
“Like his father, Beau did not have a mean bone in his body,” Obama told the hundreds of mourners and dignitaries at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church in Wilmington, Delaware. “From his dad, he learned how to get back up when life got him down.”
Beau Biden died of brain cancer a week ago at age 46. Obama called him a “consummate public servant” and a “man of character,” adding that Beau always carried around a notebook so he could write down the problems his constituents voiced to him when the former Delaware attorney general ran into them outside of his office.

Paris city officials started removing hundreds of thousands of “love locks” yesterday from Pont Des Arts bridge. What became a symbol of undying love between couples, who travel from all over the world to fasten a lock onto the bridge then throw the key into the River Seine, is now no more. Not only are they removing the locks from Pont Des Art, they are also removing them from the Pont de l’Archeveche, which is near the Notre Dame cathedral. When I first heard about this I was a bit shocked and sadden because in the back of my mind I always wanted to do this (with my future husband of course). However, after reading that part of the bridge collapsed last year due to the weight of all the locks, I understood why they are doing it. Now my future husband and I have to come up with another cute custom to…

When New York Magazine posed the terrifying question, “Have You Eaten Your Last Avocado?” in an article published Wednesday, avocado lovers everywhere panicked. Again. It’s no secret that California’s drought, the worst in 1,200 years, is a serious threat to certain foods.
.
No one wants to acknowledge that this precious fruit — yes, avocados are a fruit, because actually they’re a berry — might be a lot more expensive in the coming years. When Chipotle announced last March that its guacamole may be at stake due to climate change, people freaked. More than a year later, however, we’re still enjoying guacamole at Chipotle and elsewhere. Still the threat looms, and a collective hysteria set in again Wednesday.
That’s because, yes, avocados are super trendy. Instagram is reaching peak avocado toast, and one too many Super Bowl fans really just show up at parties for the guacamole. But avocados aren’t the only trendy food that may be affected by the drought. From kale to the almonds that go into everyone’s precious almond milk lattes, other foods-of-the-moment may be more threatened than people realize.

After Judy Jean Caquias died in Rikers Island custody last year, her youngest sister received a box from her old apartment with all of her personal belongings. Her whole life distilled into a pile of odds and ends: pictures of family, old papers from school, an iron-on patch of a woman with a rainbow flag flying. Yankees memorabilia, an Obama sticker, a political flier: “Demand housing for the homeless.” A program for a community play she’d been cast in, and on the cover, a picture of her as a sad clown holding an American flag. And photos of herself: a grainy selfie she took in her bedroom wearing a gray tank top and gold chain…

Nine officials of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), including two of its current vice presidents, were among 14 people indicted on Wednesday for racketeering conspiracy and corruption, the Department of Justice announced in a statement.
In addition to FIFA officials, a number of officials of other soccer governing bodies were named in the 47-count indictment for “racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies, among other offenses, in connection with the defendants’ participation in a 24-year scheme to enrich themselves through the corruption of international soccer.”
The arrests come days ahead of Friday’s FIFA presidential elections, which will still go ahead. Current FIFA president, Sepp Blatter was not among those arrested and is expected to win his fifth term, The Independent reported.

Adam Wynne looks like a kid from a Pixar movie. He’s got curly red-hair, a cherubic face, and walks as if he’s in danger of tripping over his own feet. He will also totally wreck you in a game of pool.
Well technically, it’s Snooker, which is played on a larger table with more balls than Pool, so that means this kid is even more bad-ass. And before you go and think he’s part of some genetic experiment to produce super Irish Snooker players, get this: He’s never been trained to play the game – it’s all Adam.
It doesn’t matter that he grasps the cue with two hands like it’s a sippy cup, or has to stand on an upturned bucket to get a better view of the table, because the second Adam lines up his shot, he absolutely owns the felt.
.
It’s like someone took a shrink ray to Fast Eddie Felson and made him Irish.
