“The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible,” the former backup dancer writes in his forthcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, per the New York Times. “It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK,” Federline, who shares sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, with the pop star, adds. “From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.” MORE: Inside Britney Spears’ luxe $11m+ mansion Federline, 47, goes on to recall a time when his sons told him they did not want to go back to their mother’s house because they were scared of her. “They would awaken sometimes at night to find her standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep — ‘Oh, you’re awake?’ — with a knife in her hand,” he claims. “Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation,” Federline adds. The DJ says he has “never, ever, once, been against Britney” and has only tried to help his sons and have a great co-parenting relationship with Spears. “It’s hard because when I really reflect on everything that’s happened — my kids do not know the woman that I married. And I’ve spent two decades trying to bridge that gap,” he confesses. Federline, 47, and Spears, 43, tied the knot in September 2004 and welcomed their sons, Sean Preston and Jayden, in September 2005 and 2006, respectively. The duo got divorced after three years of marriage and spent several years locked in a contentious custody battle that was further complicated by her controversial conservatorship. In 2023, Federline relocated to Hawaii with his sons and his new wife, Victoria Prince, after she landed a job on the island. Last month, Page Six reported that Spears has been refusing help from people as fears about her mental health and living conditions continue to grow. The Grammy winner’s friends are also reportedly worried that Spears is residing in a “messy mansion” covered in dog poop. “Her house is a mess. She doesn’t clean up after the dogs, she doesn’t have someone there cleaning every day, and she just isn’t functioning like an adult would function,” a source told the Daily Mail last month. Meanwhile, a source told Us Weekly that Spears has been focused on “healing” with her boys. Federline’s memoir, You Thought You Knew, is set to be released on October 21. This story originally appeared on Page Six and is republished here with permission.

Former New York Jets center Nick Mangold, battling chronic kidney disease since a 2006 diagnosis for a rare genetic disorder, went public Tuesday with his need for a kidney transplant. Mangold, 41, a member of the Jets' Ring of Honor, made his appeal on social media and via an announcement from the team. "This isn't an easy message to share, but I want to be open about what's been happening with me and my health," Mangold said in his statement. Mangold said he endured a "rough summer" and that he's currently undergoing dialysis. "I always knew this day would come, but I thought I would have had more time," he said. "Unfortunately, I do not have any family able to donate at this time, so this is why I'm reaching out to you, our NY Jets community. I am in need of a kidney donor with type O blood. "If you are willing to find out if you could be a match and donate a kidney to me please go to this site https://columbiasurgery.org/kidney-transplant and click the link to indicate I WANT TO DONATE MY KIDNEY. Use my full name, Nicholas Mangold, and my birthday, 1/13/1984. "I am deeply grateful to anyone that would consider donating," he continued, thanking his family for its support. "This situation has reminded me how lucky I am to have such an amazing family, friends, and community behind me," Mangold added. "While this has been a tough stretch, I'm staying positive and focused on the path ahead. I'm looking forward to better days and getting back to full strength soon. I'll see you all at MetLife Stadium very soon." Mangold was a first-round pick out of Ohio State in 2006 and quickly became one of the most popular Jets of this generation. He endeared himself to teammates and fans with his blue-collar toughness and every-man personality. He made seven Pro Bowls and was twice named a first-team All-Pro. Mangold played his entire career with the Jets, 2006 to 2016.
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- While John Calipari has watched his peers -- such as Jay Wright, Tony Bennett and more recently Bruce Pearl -- surprisingly exit the game amid major changes to the sport, the 66-year-old coach said he's not considering a similar early departure. But he also said he will leave college basketball when he can no longer do the job the way he wants to do the job. "I want to help 25 to 30 more families," Calipari said during SEC media day on Tuesday. "The only way you do that is to be transformational as a coach. If you're not, you're transactional. If I become transactional -- 'I'm going to pay you this to do this and that' -- then I won't do this anymore. I don't need to." Although Arkansas added key players -- like five-star recruit Darius Acuff -- the program also lost standout talents to the portal, including Boogie Fland (Florida) and Zvonimir Ivisic (Illinois). In his attempt to avoid the turnover many teams have experienced, Calipari has warned his players that entering the portal means their time with the Razorbacks is over, even if they have second thoughts. "That's why if someone puts their name in the portal, I say, 'You're not coming back,' because it's not going to be transactional." Calipari said he still has the same passion to coach and any observer of his practices at Arkansas would see that he is still "connected" to his players. He also said he plans to stay in college basketball because he wants to make positive changes for the next generation of coaches, which includes his son, Arkansas assistant Brad Calipari. "Kelvin Sampson and I just talked," said Calipari about the Houston coach whose son, Kellen, is his top assistant. "I said, 'We've got to fix some of this stuff before we're out for our own children.'" Despite the issues, Calipari said he'll know it's time for him to retire if he can no longer build genuine relationships with players. The current era has made that ambition more difficult. The portal may offer immediate benefits to those who enter it, Calipari said, but he worries about what comes next for some of those who've bounced around to multiple schools and failed to establish those connections. "I don't mind kids transferring," he said. "You just can't transfer four times, because it's not good for you. Four schools in four years, you'll never have a college degree. But that last place you'll be at, they'll really be loyal to you? No, you're a mercenary."
Coach Jason Kidd has signed a multiyear contract extension with the Dallas Mavericks, a source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday. The extension comes in the wake of strong interest in Kidd from the New York Knicks before they hired Mike Brown to fill their coaching vacancy. The Mavs declined to give the Knicks permission to interview Kidd, who has a 179-149 record during his four-year stint in Dallas. The Mavs have made runs to the 2022 Western Conference finals and 2024 NBA Finals under Kidd. Kidd's previous contract extension came during Dallas' 2024 playoff run, when the Los Angeles Lakers had interest in interviewing him. NBA reporter Marc Stein first reported Kidd's extension.

Work is advanced to facilitate expansion and upgrading works at the Savanna-la-Mar Public General Hospital in Westmoreland. Providing an update during a recent press briefing at the S Hotel in Montego Bay, Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton, said that the project, which includes expansion of the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department and improvements to other critical areas, has now reached the procurement stage. “We’re in the final stages of the full costing, and the intention, once that is done, is to go to market [for a contractor],” he pointed out. Dr. Tufton said that the planned expansion will help to ease overcrowding and improve patient care. The project will start with the A&E Department, which will have a diagnostic area, a laboratory, and additional space. “Then, the A&E area on the old building will provide more opportunities for a few additional bed spaces; then we’ll build out from there,” Dr. Tufton said. He informed that the hospital’s sewerage system will also be overhauled. He noted that qualified engineers have been engaged to design a new system using modern technology to ensure reliability. “The bid documents are out; they’re likely to be considered starting in a week or two, and hopefully, we’ll have an appropriate provider of that service before the end of this year,” he added. Turning to developments in Hanover, Dr. Tufton reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to improving services at the Noel Holmes Hospital. “We had committed to a new minor operating theatre,” he said.
A New Frontier in COVID-19 Testing In the ongoing battle against COVID-19, science has found an unexpected ally: tiny, portable devices equipped with cutting-edge technology. These devices, based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and FTIR (Fourier-Transform Infrared) spectroscopy, offer a rapid, reagent-free approach to detecting the virus, potentially transforming point-of-care testing, according to Nature. The Technology Behind the Breakthrough At the core of this innovation are miniaturized FTIR spectrometers that utilize infrared light to identify chemical compounds. By analyzing the light spectrum, these devices detect specific markers associated with COVID-19 in nasopharyngeal swab samples. Integrated with advanced machine learning models, they promise faster and cheaper pandemic response strategies compared to traditional PCR tests. Comparing Spectrometer Performance The research dives into two primary spectrometer systems: one focusing on the NIR (Near-Infrared) spectrum, and another extending to the MIR (Mid-Infrared) spectrum. While the MIR model displays an impressive accuracy of 80%, NIR follows closely at 66%. This efficiency allows lab-quality screening to be completed onsite within six minutes, making it ideal for mass testing scenarios. Challenges in Implementation Despite their promise, the deployment of portable FTIR devices isn’t without challenges. Current limitations include spectral resolution, varying signal-to-noise ratios, and the need for robust detectors. The research underscores the necessity for future advancements to boost detection reliability, particularly for wet sample analysis. Future Potential and Impact The deployment of FTIR-based diagnostic tools could redefine pandemic management by providing immediate results with minimal resources. Their portability and affordability stand to facilitate widespread testing across diverse settings, from hospitals to public events, paving the way for timely interventions and containment strategies. The journey towards fully utilizing these technologies is just beginning, and ongoing research will be crucial in overcoming current obstacles and optimizing their application. This continues the story of innovation driving global health advancements, with FTIR spectroscopy leading the next wave of diagnostic excellence.

The Jamaica Pavilion walked away with a Silver Award at Expo 2025 Japan. The island was recognised for theme development in the shared pavilions ‘Connecting Lives’ category. Kazakhstan won the Gold Medal while the East African country of Djibouti received the Bronze. The Official Participants Awards were presented at the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) Day Awards Ceremony on Sunday (October 12) in the Expo Hall. A total of 45 Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards and four new Sustainability Awards were presented during the ceremony. “When our name was called for a prize, we were elated, and as always, once we hear Jamaica on a global stage, it boosts our national pride. It is wonderful that the team could come together and present this Pavilion, which earned a prestigious award,” said Commissioner General of Section, Jamaica Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Maureen Smith. The Official Participant Awards, presented at every World Expo recognise various aspects of pavilions, including architecture and landscape, external design, exhibition design, theme development and sustainability. A total of 158 countries participated in the Expo in various clusters, showcasing different themes. Jamaica was among 26 countries featured in the Commons B shared pavilion in the Connecting Lives zone. The pavilion stood out for its cultural vibrancy, collaborative spirit and sustainable innovation. In explaining the sub-theme, Connecting Lives, Mrs. Smith noted that the concept centres on collaboration. “It’s about working together towards achieving our sustainable development goals. I know all the countries are trying to work together towards a sustainable future, and so this Expo presented that platform for us to do so,” she said. She noted that partners from Jamaica and Japan worked to bring the title of the Pavilion ‘Out of Many, One People: Let’s Link Up’ to life. “For example, the entrance has a mural which was created by a Jamaican Japanese couple – Marvin and Reika Thompson, who also created other key elements of the Pavilion, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) pushcart and the grill for the jerk chicken,” said Mrs. Smith. Other key partners were Ogawa Coffee; the Association of Japanese Importers of Jamaican Coffee; RUDDER, distributors of Worthy Park Rum in Japan; Gangalee Kitchen; Universal Music; and Link Up Jaja, which all contributed to showcasing different aspects of the Jamaican culture. “We were very happy for those kinds of partnerships, thanks to the Embassy of Jamaica in Japan… a lot of those on-the-ground connections was because of our Embassy. We truly appreciate the efforts of Ambassador Shorna-Kay Richards and her team who were very instrumental in that regard,” Mrs. Smith told JIS News. She noted that a partnership made from Jamaica’s participation in Expo 2020 Dubai generated the Near-field Communication (NFC) pins and business cards that were issued during this year’s Expo. Expo 2025 Osaka, held over a six-month period, concluded on October 13 and was staged under the overarching theme, ‘Designing Future Society for Our Lives’.
