In Axios, Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei noted that the president had “systematically damaged or destroyed his relationship with — well, almost every group or individual essential to success.” They then listed these “methodically alienated” constituencies: “the public,” “CEOs,” “the intelligence community,” “every Democrat who could help him do a deal,” “world leaders,” “Europe,” “his own staff.”

Northern Summer on Titan.
Image Credit: Cassini Imaging Team, SSI, JPL, ESA, NASA
Explanation: While yesterday's solstice brought summer to planet Earth's northern hemisphere, a northern summer solstice arrived for ringed planet Saturn nearly a month ago on May 24. Following the Saturnian seasons, its large moon Titan was captured in this Cassini spacecraft image from June 9. The near-infrared view finds bright methane clouds drifting through Titan's northern summer skies as seen from a distance of about 507,000 kilometers. Below Titan's clouds, dark hydrocarbon lakes sprawl near the large moon's now illuminated north pole.

Minnesota is Overrated Once Again
Minnesota Timberwolves Preview
Projected Record: 43-39
Projected Playoff Seed: 7th
The Timberwolves added Jimmy Butler this past offseason, and are expected by many to finally make a leap in to top playoff seed contention. However similar to the high expectations of last off season, these will not be matched. On paper, Andrew Wiggins, Jimmy Butler, and Karl Anthony-Towns seems like a contender, until one looks deeper. The roster is very shallow, with only about 6 real contributors on the roster. Outside of the starters and Gorgui Dieng, the Wolves still do not have a good or even decent second unit. Tyus Jones has not shown any real ability to play serious minutes, Jamal Crawford is a very inefficient bench scorer who will be 38 this coming season, and Nemanja Bjelica has not shown the ability to play big NBA minutes and be a net positive on the court. This is a team with a talented starting lineup, but horrible depth.
Also, there are fit issues within the actual starting lineup. Andrew Wiggins and Jimmy Butler are very similar being that they are both high usage mid range scorers who need the ball to be effective. One would wonder how they would coexist, needing the ball in many of the same spots. One of the two or even both may suffer statistically, and the team will not be able to maximize their impact. As a team, the defense is suspect as it is anchored by Towns and Wiggins, even though Butler and Teague will soften some of the blow from opposing offenses. There also are zero three point shooting threats on the entire roster in an era where the three point shot has never been more important. All things considered, the Timberwolves may struggle to finish with a record over .500, and the hype surrounding them will fail to be reached once again.

How to Remove Points of Interest and Advertisements in Waze - Waze, for those of you who haven’t heard of it, is a community driven traffic and navigation app. It is available for both Android and iOS, and is also now out for Android Auto. It uses real-time data from other users to notify users of traffic, better routes to take, and also provides “points of interest” to the user. These points of interest pop up in balloon form and are basically advertisements for places (and often along sid...

Are You Ready? The Sun is Welcoming the Eclipse with a Burst of Renewed Activity
AS THE ECLIPSE NEARS, SOLAR ACTIVITY INCREASES: Only a few weeks ago, it seemed that the sun would be quiet and featureless when the Moon eclipsed it on Aug. 21st. Solar Minimum was in full swing. This weekend, however, the sun is welcoming the eclipse with a burst of renewed activity.
There is a huge prominence on the sun's eastern limb.
If you are in the total eclipse path set your clock to greet this awesome spectacle on Monday.
In addition, a remarkably-long sunspot group is sprawling across the solar disk. AR2671 stretches 140,000 miles from end to end, almost twice as wide as the planet Jupiter. Amateur astronomers watching the eclipse through safe solar telescopes will have no trouble seeing the rugged edge of the Moon cut across this impressive sunspot, eclipsing one dark core after another.
If we're really lucky, the sunspot will explode. AR2671 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares.

Two Former Wasserman Schultz IT Aides Indicted For Conspiracy Against U.S.
A federal grand jury Thursday indicted two former information technology (IT) aides of Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz — Pakistani-born Imran Awan and his wife Hina Alvi — on four counts of conspiracy in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The FBI arrested Awan at Dulles International Airport July 24 as he was preparing to board a flight to Pakistan. When his wife Alvi left the U.S. for Pakistan in March, federal authorities found more than $12,000 in cash hidden in a suitcase. She had withdrawn the couple’s three children from local schools and does not intend to return to the U.S., according to the FBI.
“Defendants AWAN and ALVI did unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly conspire, combine, confederate, and agree with each other to commit offenses against the United States,” including bank fraud, false statements, and unlawful monetary transactions, the indictment said.
