Everyone’s favorite game coming out of Justice League has been the increasingly fruitless question of “who gets credit for my favorite scene: Joss Whedon or Zack Snyder?”

Joss Whedon took over the reshoots for Justice League after director Zack Snyder had to leave the DC Extended Universe superhero ensemble due to a family tragedy. But the hoopla surrounding the reshoots, which reportedly drastically changed the film at the behest of Warner Bros., sent fans into a tizzy, with many embarking on a treasure hunt for scenes that hinted at Snyder’s “original vision.” (They couldn’t find it, and instead petitioned for a non-existent “director’s cut.”) But in the weeks since Justice League‘s release, we have learned a little more of who shot what — and the newest revelation is a little surprising.

The opening credits of Justice League unfolded to a bleak montage of the fallout of Superman’s death after the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, set to the mournful cover of Leonard Cohen‘s “Everybody Knows.”

“Everybody knows the war is over /Everybody knows the good guys lost /Everybody knows the fight was fixed / The poor stay poor, the rich get rich,” Norwegian pop star Sigrid croons over grim scenes of brutal criminals and their hopeless victims.

The scene matches the dark tone that Snyder established for the DCEU in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, and seems to have remained untouched by Whedon and Warner Bros.’ new mission statement to inject fun into the DC universe after the success of the optimistic Wonder Woman. But that’s actually not the case. In a Twitter exchange with The New Yorker’s Emily Nussbaum, Whedon revealed that he “stuck” the song into the Justice League opening credits.

It’s an unexpected revelation, since Whedon is commonly associated with the carefree tone and snarky dialogue present in films like The Avengers or shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While Whedon hasn’t been one to shun moments of emotional distress, it’s still somewhat of a surprise considering the director was ostensibly brought on to bring a lighter tone to Justice League. Plus, Snyder is well known for his evocative opening credits sequences and his use of Leonard Cohen songs.

There’s no question that Whedon helped to rehaul the film when he joined the project, which landed him the co-screenwriter credit with Chris Terrio, but perhaps this is a lesson for us: don’t assume that the scenes shot by Whedon and Snyder are clearly delineated. And maybe stop asking for the Snyder Cut of Justice League.

Following Harvard University’s decision to select Chelsea Manning, the transgender former US Army soldier who was convicted of leaking classified data, as a visiting fellow, CIA Director Mike Pompeo on Thursday decided not to speak at a school-sponsored forum that was scheduled the same day.

In a letter addressed to Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, Director of the Intelligence and Defense Project at the Belfer Center at Harvard University, Pompeo, a former soldier and a graduate of Harvard Law School, said it was a decision he “did not make lightly,” calling Manning an “American traitor.”

“My conscience and duty to the men and women of the [CIA] will not permit me to betray their trust by appearing to support Harvard’s decision with my appearance at tonight’s event,” Pompeo wrote, referring to the Thursday engagement. “Ms. Manning betrayed her country and was found guilty of 17 serious crimes for leaking classified information to Wikileaks.”

“Leaders from both political parties denounced Ms. Manning’s actions as traitorous and many intelligence and military officials believe those leaks put the lives of the patriotic men and women at the CIA in danger,” Pompeo continued. “And those military and intelligence officials are right.”

On Thursday evening, Douglas Elmendorf, Dean of Harvard Kennedy School, said in a statement that the school would be withdrawing its invitation to Manning and that “designating [Manning] as a Visiting Fellow was a mistake.”

“I still think that having her speak in the Forum and talk with students is consistent with our longstanding approach, which puts great emphasis on the value of hearing from a diverse collection of people,” Elmendorf wrote. “But I see more clearly now that many people view a Visiting Fellow title as an honorific, so we should weigh that consideration when offering invitations.”

“I apologize to her and to the many concerned people from whom I have heard today for not recognizing upfront the full implications of our original invitation,” Elmendorf continued.

Manning was released from military prison in May after serving seven years for passing government secrets in what was considered the biggest such breach in US history. Critics of Manning alleged that her actions put the lives of US service members in danger and hurt diplomatic ties with foreign nations.

“Broadening the range and depth of opportunity for students to hear from and engage with experts, leaders and policy-shapers is a cornerstone of the Institute of Politics,” Bill Delhunt, acting director of the institute at the Harvard Kennedy School, said after Manning’s appointment, according to Reuters. “We welcome the breadth of thought-provoking viewpoints on race, gender, politics and the media.”

“Let me be clear,” Pompeo continued in his letter, “this has nothing to do with Ms. Manning’s identity as a transgender person. It has everything to do with her identity as a traitor to the United States of America and my loyalty to the officers of the CIA.”

“I believe it is shameful for Harvard to place its stamp of approval upon her treasonous actions.”

Pompeo’s decision comes after former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell’s decision to resign as a senior fellow at the school, following Manning’s acceptance.

“I applaud the decision of Michael Morell,” Pompeo wrote. “I am saddened, however, at Harvard’s loss. You have traded a respected individual who served his country with dignity for one who served it with disgrace and who violated the warrior ethos she promised to uphold when she voluntarily chose to join the United States Army.”

Following Pompeo’s decision, Manning tweeted: “good 😉🌈💕 #WeGotThis.”

Read the Dean of Harvard Kennedy School’s statement below:

On Wednesday, the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School announced that Chelsea Manning would be one of roughly ten visiting fellows this fall. We invited Chelsea Manning because the Kennedy School’s longstanding approach to visiting speakers is to invite some people who have significantly influenced events in the world even if they do not share our values and even if their actions or words are abhorrent to some members of our community. We do this not to endorse those actions or legitimize those words, but because engaging with people with fundamentally different worldviews can help us to become better public leaders. Because controversy pervades many questions in politics and public policy, some speakers are controversial. While we do not shy away from that controversy, we insist that all speakers take questions, and these questions are often hard and challenging ones. Hearing a very wide range of views, regardless of what members of our community think about the people offering those views, is fundamental to the learning process at the Kennedy School.

Some visitors to the Kennedy School are invited for just a few hours to give a talk in the School’s Forum or in one of our lecture halls or seminar rooms; other visitors stay for a full day, a few days, a semester, or longer. Among the visitors who stay more than a few hours, some are designated as “Visiting Fellows,” “Resident Fellows,” “Nonresident Fellows,” and the like. At any point in time, the Kennedy School has hundreds of fellows playing many different roles at the School. In general across the School, we do not view the title of “Fellow” as conveying a special honor; rather, it is a way to describe some people who spend more than a few hours at the School.

We invited Chelsea Manning to spend a day at the Kennedy School. Specifically, we invited her to meet with students and others who are interested in talking with her, and then to give remarks in the Forum where the audience would have ample opportunity—as with all of our speakers—to ask hard questions and challenge what she has said and done. On that basis, we also named Chelsea Manning a Visiting Fellow. We did not intend to honor her in any way or to endorse any of her words or deeds, as we do not honor or endorse any Fellow.

However, I now think that designating Chelsea Manning as a Visiting Fellow was a mistake, for which I accept responsibility. I still think that having her speak in the Forum and talk with students is consistent with our longstanding approach, which puts great emphasis on the value of hearing from a diverse collection of people. But I see more clearly now that many people view a Visiting Fellow title as an honorific, so we should weigh that consideration when offering invitations. In particular, I think we should weigh, for each potential visitor, what members of the Kennedy School community could learn from that person’s visit against the extent to which that person’s conduct fulfills the values of public service to which we aspire. This balance is not always easy to determine, and reasonable people can disagree about where to strike the balance for specific people. Any determination should start with the presumption that more speech is better than less. In retrospect, though, I think my assessment of that balance for Chelsea Manning was wrong. Therefore, we are withdrawing the invitation to her to serve as a Visiting Fellow—and the perceived honor that it implies to some people—while maintaining the invitation for her to spend a day at the Kennedy School and speak in the Forum. I apologize to her and to the many concerned people from whom I have heard today for not recognizing upfront the full implications of our original invitation. This decision now is not intended as a compromise between competing interest groups but as the correct way for the Kennedy School to emphasize its longstanding approach to visiting speakers while recognizing that the title of Visiting Fellow implies a certain recognition.

The Trump administration has selected four US companies to build concrete prototype designs for the US-Mexico border wall. The companies will have 30 days to complete a prototype.

“These prototypes are designed to be 30 feet (9 meters) tall and 30 feet wide. They will be close in proximity of each other,” said Ronald Vitiello, acting deputy commissioner for the US Customs & Border Protection (CBP), at a press briefing on Thursday.

In testing the prototypes, the CBP “will look at things like aesthetics, and triple resistance, how penetrable, how resistant they are to breaching…and scaling,” Vitiello said

The walls will also have places for sensors, lighting, cameras and towers.

A plan envisioned by the administration would have a see-through wall structure on immediate US-Mexico border, then a 150 foot-wide “enforcement zone,” followed by a concrete wall.

Caddell Construction Co of Montgomery, Alabama; Fisher Sand & Gravel Co of Tempe, Arizona; Texas Sterling Construction Co of Houston; and W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Company of Philadelphia, Mississippi, were the four companies selected for the prototype project, the CBP said.

Following President Donald Trump’s January 25 executive order that called for the construction of a border wall, the CBP issued two requests for proposals for prototype wall designs – both new and replacement infrastructure – involving concrete and new material designs “to deter illegal crossings.”

The four contracts range in price from about $ 400,000 to about $ 500,000, CBP said. The prototypes will be built and tested in San Diego, California.

Vitiello said the prototypes could be left in place or taken down and used elsewhere. Four more contracts, awarded for new material designs, will be announced next week.

Sydney Uni Flames point guard, Tahlia Tupaea.

Staff writersFOX SPORTS

AUSTRALIA’S Tahlia Tupaea has been selected by the Minnesota Lynx with the 36th overall pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft.

The 19-year-old has played in the WNBL since 2012, playing all five of her seasons with the Sydney Uni Flames. During the Flames’ 2017 championship campaign, Tupaea averaged 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in 15 games.

It’s not likely that Tupaea will be travelling to Minnesota to join the Lynx — she’s just re-signed with the Flames for two years — but there’s a good chance she’ll join the WNBA team within the next few years.

Tupaea is widely regarded as a future Australian Opal, having already represented her country’s under-17 and under-19 team, respectively.

The 5’9 guard was the only Australian drafted in the 2017 draft, and the first from the country since Carley Mijovic (30th overall pick, Washington Mystics) and Stephanie Talbot (33rd overall pick, Phoenix Mercury) were selected in 2014.

While space is largely devoid of matter, it does contain some gas and dust that floats between stars, material known as the interstellar medium. NASA has selected the Galactic/Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory (GUSTO) mission to conduct the first complete study of this matter, to better understand how it behaves, .

Interstellar objects such as stars, black holes, and galaxies get a lot of attention from scientists, but the interstellar medium isn’t a trivial thing to study: it makes up about 15 percent of the total mass in the Milky Way. 99 percent of that is free floating gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, and while space is still pretty empty (We’re talking a density of an atom per cubic centimeter), the vast distances means that those small amounts add up.

The $ 40 million GUSTO mission, led by University of Arizona professor of astronomy Christopher Walker, will launch an Ultralong-Duration Balloon over Antarctica in 2021, which will carry a telescope that can detect carbon, oxygen and nitrogen spectral emissions. This equipment will allow the research team to study and map out parts of the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The mission will “provide the first complete study of all phases of the stellar life cycle,” ays Paul Hertz, the astrophysics division director in the Science Mission Directorate in Washington, “from the formation of molecular clouds, through star birth and evolution, to the formation of gas clouds and the re-initiation of the cycle.” This will help scientists better understand the conditions that can ultimately lead to the formation of stars. “If we want to understand where we came from, we have to understand the interstellar medium,” Walker explains, “because 4.6 billion years ago, we were interstellar medium.”

The mission is expected to launch in December 2021 from McMurdo Station in Antarctica. There, it will fly for up to 170 days, depending on the weather. The balloon will fly at an altitude of 110,000 and 120,000 feet, which will allow researchers to avoid water vapor in the atmosphere that could obscure their readings. In December 2016, the team launched the Stratospheric Terahertz Observatory, a predecessor to GUSTO,w hich flew for three weeks over Antarctica.
