Flag football scours nation with talent camps to uncover next wave of starsRichard Parsons, the former chairman who became a go-to executive brought in to steady such troubled organizations as CBS Corp., Citigroup and the , died Thursday. He was 76. Parsons died at his Manhattan home of bone cancer, Ronald S. Lauder, a member of the Estée Lauder board and a close friend, . He also battled multiple myeloma, a pernicious blood cancer, over the years. In September 2018, Parsons was named interim chairman of CBS after chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves resigned following allegations of sexual harassment. He was a key player in negotiating the Moonves exit and in appointing COO Joseph Ianniello as acting CEO. He also brought in six new directors. Parsons’ tenure, however, lasted less than a month. On Oct. 21, he announced he was leaving the post after learning that his health had taken a turn for the worse. Parsons had been in remission for multiple myeloma following a stem cell transplant in 2016. Parsons was for many years the highest-ranking African American in any media company, though that was a distinction he frequently played down. He advised young African Americans to focus on their new opportunities. “The sky’s the limit,” he told magazine in 2016. “Those barriers that were almost impenetrable a generation ago, certainly two generations ago, are gone. There are other structural things that we need to do in our society to level the playing field, but you can go from the top to the bottom almost regardless of race, origin creed or sexual orientation.” The commanding but soft-voiced executive was a 6-foot-4 former basketball player, White House insider, corporate lawyer and protege of New York governor and U.S. vice president Nelson Rockefeller. He had a gift for inspiring others, yet always claimed he lacked personal ambition. “I’m actually a type-B personality,” he in a February 2018 profile. “I’m not driven. But I am competitive.” He was thrust into the media limelight in May 2002 when he took over the chairmanship of Time Warner when the company was in free-fall after one of the most infamous mistakes in corporate history: the merger of internet goliath AOL with old-school media company Time Warner. “At that moment,” he said, “they were not looking for a visionary or necessarily Mr. Charismatic or someone to replicate the dimension of a mogul.” He added: “Almost nobody recalls that I was the CEO who had the largest recorded loss in the history of American corporations. For the year 2002, my first annual report, we took a write-down of $99 billion. Stunning.” Parsons was president of Time Warner when his immediate boss, chairman and CEO , began to consider a merger in the late 1990s. Nearing the end of his corporate career, Levin was keen to leave a legacy akin to that of board member Ted Turner. After finding himself seated near AOL’s chief executive, Steve Case, when they were in Beijing in October 1999 for a 50th-anniversary celebration of the Chinese Revolution, he came upon the idea of old meeting new. The Levin-Case talks gathered steam upon the colleagues’ return to the U.S., and soon after, Levin told Parsons about his merger plan. “It wasn’t completely Machiavellian,” Parsons told , “though Jerry could be Machiavellian at times.” Parsons acknowledged that he shared some responsibility for the disaster insofar as he did not strenuously object to the merger, which stunned Wall Street when it was presented as a purchase of Time Warner by upstart AOL. “History will record that it was really Jerry’s deal,” he said, “but at the end of the day, I voted for it. I thought we could make it work.” He was wrong. Very quickly after the companies made their pact public in January 2000, when they announced that AOL would buy Time Warner for about $160 billion to create a new entity worth $300 billion, things began to veer off course. Levin and Case had believed that Time Warner’s content would make AOL subscriptions vastly more appealing; Parsons, by his own reckoning an old-school guy with little knowledge of computers and technology (“You don’t even like the internet,” his wife told him), was unable to counsel them that the changing landscape would soon rule that out. “The value proposition with AOL was, ‘We have a walled garden and you have to pay to get in — and once in, the world is yours, so you’ll be happy to pay us $14.95 a month,'” he explained. “But the walled-garden model was starting to break down. All these new services were offering content for free. That model just collapsed.” So did AOL Time Warner’s shares, which plunged from a high of $104 to a low of $10 within two years, wiping out billions of dollars (and costing Turner alone an estimated $2 billion). It was clear that Levin, his reputation in tatters, would have to depart, and in 2002 he did, leaving the question of who would replace him. Rather than turn to an outsider, the AOL Time Warner board selected Parsons as chairman and CEO, and the man who professed to be lacking in vision, who could barely work a computer, let alone navigate a course for the digital age, proved a solid choice. He immediately sold off some AOL Time Warner assets and replaced several top staffers; but more than anything, he sent a message of stability and confidence that was rooted in his measured, empathetic manner — a warmth and human appeal that he described as “wet,” in contrast to Levin’s “dry.” Gathering 300 top staffers together, Parsons brought in a Gulf War leader, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, to speak to them. “Norman was asked, ‘What are your rules of leadership?'” said Parsons. “He said, ‘I have two. Rule No. 1: When put in a position of command, take charge, make decisions. And rule No. 2 is: Do what’s right.'” Added Parsons: “I tend to subscribe to that.” He made the decision to sell AOL and restore the company’s former name, Time Warner; and he promoted Jeffrey Bewkes, paving the way for Bewkes to succeed him when Parsons voluntarily stepped down in 2008. Bewkes would remain there another decade, until Time Warner’s recent merger with AT&T. Throughout, Parsons was a voice of skepticism that old- and new-school media could ever function together in harmony, even though at first he had thought they might. “You couldn’t make them work seamlessly,” he said. “The disrupters, the new-media people, just had a whole different way of thinking about business, and when you really cut to the core of it, their job was to disintermediate the old-media guys.” When Parsons stepped down, he was given great credit for restoring the brand, even if its stock price had barely shifted. He was “the steady hand” Time Warner needed after the challenge of AOL, said James Goss, managing director of Barrington Research. Added analyst Harold Vogel, “He was the right guy in the right place at the right time.” Born on April 4, 1948, Richard Dean Parsons was raised in Queens, one of five children of an electrical technician and a homemaker. He was clearly bright and in those early school years was allowed to skip two grades, but then he coasted and had an undistinguished time as a student at the University of Hawaii. Reports that he played basketball for the school were later discounted by him and others. “I was perhaps the least successful student of my generation,” he quipped. That changed when the newly married man went to Albany Law School and interned with the state legislature, then worked for Gov. Rockefeller, who became his mentor. (Parsons’ grandfather had served as head gardener at the Rockefeller estate.) After graduating first among the 4,000 potential lawyers who sat for the New York State Bar, he went to work for Rockefeller when newly named President Ford chose him as his vice president in 1974. He arrived to find a White House in chaos following the resignation of President Nixon, with Ford forced to turn to Rockefeller’s staff to make up for a lack of contenders for top staff jobs among his own inner circle. That gave Parsons immense opportunity. He became general counsel and associate director of what was then the Domestic Counsel and remained a lifelong admirer of Rockefeller, whose charitable foundation he later headed. Parsons stayed at the White House for three of the Ford administration’s four years before leaving to seek a job that paid more and allowed him to spend time with his burgeoning family that included his wife, Laura Bush, a child psychologist whom he had met as a student, a boy and two girls, one of whom is transgender. Hired by the law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, he remained there until 1988, when he was brought in to run the troubled Dime Savings Bank. In 1991, he was recruited by Time Warner, where he became president in 1995, and, a decade later, assumed the top position. In the years after Parsons left the company, he remained active — indeed, far more than he had intended. He bought a vineyard in Tuscany, Italy, planning to spend much of his retirement there; instead, he was asked to help Citigroup in 2009 after the bank endured five straight quarters of losses and was forced to seek $45 billion in government aid. He was similarly brought in to help save the NBA’s Clippers following a scandal that broke out in 2014 when club owner Donald Sterling made racist remarks and was forced out. Then, he was named CBS’ interim chairman in the wake of the Moonves imbroglio. A strong advocate of education opportunities for the disadvantaged, Parsons toyed with the idea of running for mayor of New York and passed on the possibility of becoming President Obama’s commerce secretary after he learned that he was ill. He had numerous nonprofit involvements, chairing the Jazz Foundation of America and the Apollo Theater Foundation as well as the Smithsonian’s advisory board for its new African American museum. His political activities continued when he chaired a commission on social security for President George W. Bush and worked on the transition teams of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. He is survived by his wife, their children and a daughter he had out of wedlock with model and philanthropist MacDella Cooper. Parsons’ experience with AOL made him skeptical of the Time Warner/AT&T merger that was approved in June 2018. Four months earlier, he said he was “cautious” about its chances. Even if it were to succeed, he said, “It’s going to take longer than people think, and it’s going to be more difficult.” THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day More from The Hollywood Reporter

NoneMobileye: Too Far, Too Fast

Malik Nabers says calling the Giants 'soft' was wrong but he doesn't regret speaking outBy SARAH PARVINI, GARANCE BURKE and JESSE BEDAYN, Associated Press President-elect Donald Trump will return to power next year with a raft of technological tools at his disposal that would help deliver his campaign promise of cracking down on immigration — among them, surveillance and artificial intelligence technology that the Biden administration already uses to help make crucial decisions in tracking, detaining and ultimately deporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status. While immigration officials have used the tech for years, an October letter from the Department of Homeland Security obtained exclusively by The Associated Press details how those tools — some of them powered by AI — help make life-altering decisions for immigrants, including whether they should be detained or surveilled. One algorithm, for example, ranks immigrants with a “Hurricane Score,” ranging from 1-5, to assess whether someone will “abscond” from the agency’s supervision. The letter, sent by DHS Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Eric Hysen to the immigrant rights group Just Futures Law, revealed that the score calculates the potential risk that an immigrant — with a pending case — will fail to check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The algorithm relies on several factors, he said, including an immigrant’s number of violations and length of time in the program, and whether the person has a travel document. Hysen wrote that ICE officers consider the score, among other information, when making decisions about an immigrant’s case. “The Hurricane Score does not make decisions on detention, deportation, or surveillance; instead, it is used to inform human decision-making,” Hysen wrote. Also included in the government’s tool kit is a mobile app called SmartLINK that uses facial matching and can track an immigrant’s specific location. Nearly 200,000 people without legal status who are in removal proceedings are enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program, under which certain immigrants can live in the U.S. while their immigration cases are pending. In exchange, SmartLINK and GPS trackers used by ICE rigorously surveil them and their movements. The phone application draws on facial matching technology and geolocation data, which has been used before to find and arrest those using the app. Just Futures Law wrote to Hysen earlier this year, questioning the fairness of using an algorithm to assess whether someone is a flight risk and raising concerns over how much data SmartLINK collects. Such AI systems, which score or screen people, are used widely but remain largely unregulated even though some have been found to discriminate on race, gender or other protected traits. DHS said in an email that it is committed to ensuring that its use of AI is transparent and safeguards privacy and civil rights while avoiding biases. The agency said it is working to implement the Biden administration’s requirements on using AI , but Hysen said in his letter that security officials may waive those requirements for certain uses. Trump has publicly vowed to repeal Biden’s AI policy when he returns to the White House in January. “DHS uses AI to assist our personnel in their work, but DHS does not use the outputs of AI systems as the sole basis for any law enforcement action or denial of benefits,” a spokesperson for DHS told the AP. Trump has not revealed how he plans to carry out his promised deportation of an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally. Although he has proposed invoking wartime powers, as well as military involvement, the plan would face major logistical challenges — such as where to keep those who have been detained and how to find people spread across the country — that AI-powered surveillance tools could potentially address. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump, did not answer questions about how they plan to use DHS’ tech, but said in a statement that “President Trump will marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation” in American history. Over 100 civil society groups sent a letter on Friday urging the Office of Management and Budget to require DHS to comply with the Biden administration’s guidelines. OMB did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Just Futures Law’s executive director, Paromita Shah, said if immigrants are scored as flight risks, they are more likely to remain in detention, “limiting their ability to prepare a defense in their case in immigration court, which is already difficult enough as it is.” SmartLINK, part of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, is run by BI Inc., a subsidiary of the private prison company The GEO Group. The GEO Group also contracts with ICE to run detention centers. ICE is tight-lipped about how it uses SmartLINK’s location feature to find and arrest immigrants. Still, public records show that during Trump’s first term in 2018, Manassas, Virginia-based employees of BI Inc. relayed immigrants’ GPS locations to federal authorities, who then arrested over 40 people. In a report last year to address privacy issues and concerns, DHS said that the mobile app includes security features that “prohibit access to information on the participant’s mobile device, with the exception of location data points when the app is open.” But the report notes that there remains a risk that data collected from people “may be misused for unauthorized persistent monitoring.” Such information could also be stored in other ICE and DHS databases and used for other DHS mission purposes, the report said. On investor calls earlier this month, private prison companies were clear-eyed about the opportunities ahead. The GEO Group’s executive chairman George Christopher Zoley said that he expects the incoming Trump administration to “take a much more aggressive approach regarding border security as well as interior enforcement and to request additional funding from Congress to achieve these goals.” “In GEO’s ISAP program, we can scale up from the present 182,500 participants to several hundreds of thousands, or even millions of participants,” Zoley said. That same day, the head of another private prison company told investors he would be watching closely to see how the new administration may change immigrant monitoring programs. “It’s an opportunity for multiple vendors to engage ICE about the program going forward and think about creative and innovative solutions to not only get better outcomes, but also scale up the program as necessary,” Damon Hininger, CEO of the private prison company CoreCivic Inc. said on an earnings call. GEO did not respond to requests for comment. In a statement, CoreCivic said that it has played “a valued but limited role in America’s immigration system” for both Democrats and Republicans for over 40 years.

President-elect Donald Trump says he will nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to serve as U.S. Attorney General in his new administration. "For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans," Trump wrote in an announcement of the nomination. "Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting crime, and making America safe again." Bondi was Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019. During her tenure, she brought or participated in lawsuits to overturn the Affordable Care Act. Bondi was also a defense lawyer for Trump during his first impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate and has worked at the conservative nonprofit America First Policy Institute . Bondi's nomination is subject to Senate confirmation. RELATED STORY | Matt Gaetz says he's removing his name for consideration for attorney general Bondi's nomination comes the same day that former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration for the position. Trump nominated Gaetz last week, a decision that was quickly criticized by both Democrats and Republicans. On Thursday, Trump thanked Gaetz for his efforts to try and secure the support of the senators needed for confirmation. "Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do," Trump said on Truth Social. This is a developing story and will be updated.For the English clubs eyeing Bellingham, the focus may now shift towards other transfer targets. While the midfielder's talent is undeniable, his current circumstances suggest that a move back to the Premier League is not on the cards at the moment. Clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool will need to look elsewhere to bolster their squads this summer, as Bellingham looks set to stay put in Germany.

Throughout the rest of the ceremony and reception, there were subtle nods to Matthew's mother, from her favorite songs playing in the background to her signature dish being served as part of the meal. It was clear that she may have left this world, but she would always hold a special place in Matthew's heart and in the hearts of all who knew her.
