Photo Chiefs Chris Jones Attends Lions Game in Suite amid Contract Holdout

Chris Jones' holdout is going to be a major storyline surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs, including on Thursday night when he was in attendance for the opener against the Detroit Lions. According to James Palmer of NFL Network and Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, Jones is expected to watch the game from his suite at Arrowhead Stadium. Jones will miss at least the first week of the season amid his contract stand-off with the team, with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reporting earlier on Thursday that Kansas City reportedly has no plans to trade Jones while the two sides remain "apart in negotiations." He wrote: "Teams I've talked to believe the Chiefs do not want to trade Jones, no matter how ugly this gets." His holdout continues in the wake of Nick Bosa signing a five-year, $170 extension with the San Francisco 49ers, making him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history that ended another high-profile showdown between a star player and a contending team. "I can't really talk about it," Jones told reporters on Wednesday about his own situation. "Hopefully it gets worked out. It's always been my goal to be a Kansas City Chief for life. I've said that multiple times on social media platforms, from interviews -- and they know where my position is at. Hopefully we can get something worked out for the long term." Jones is currently in the final year of his contract, with a base salary of $19.5 million and a cap hit of $28.2 million. Securing the long-term bag -- likely his last chance to do so at this stage in his career -- makes sense, though it's already costing him in the short term: It may hurt the Chiefs too. His absence, alongside the injury to Travis Kelce that will keep him out of the opener, means the Chiefs will be without their second- and third-best players to start their 2023 title defense against a frisky Lions team who could make some noise this season.

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
