Attorneys for President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to let him keep his tax returns secret, setting up a case that could determine whether any president has blanket criminal immunity while in office.
The case also marks the first time the president's personal financial dealings have made their way to the nation's top court.
If the justices agree to consider the case, it will pave the way for a landmark dispute over the reach of presidential immunity in the midst of the 2020 presidential campaign and a historic impeachment battle in Congress.

Physics holds the secret to volleyball's highly unpredictable "float serve" | Ars Technica
A good float serve at just the right moment in volleyball can make or break a tight game, since the ball's trajectory is so tough to predict. It's the surface panels on conventional volleyballs that give rise to these unpredictable trajectories, and modifying the surface patterns could make for a more consistent flight, according to a recent paper in Applied Sciences.
It all comes down to gravity and aerodynamics. Any moving ball leaves a wake of air that trails behind it as it flies through the air. The inevitable drag slows the ball down. The trajectories of various sports balls are affected not just by their diameter and speed but also by any tiny irregularities on their surface. Golf balls have dimples, for example, while baseballs have stitching in a figure-eight pattern—both sufficiently bumpy to affect the airflow around the ball.

Behind the Scenes of CM Punk's Secret Arrival to WWE Backstage
CM Punk arrived to the FOX lot in secret this week for a surprise appearance on WWE Backstage … and the whole thing was documented in a cool behind the scenes video.

WWE on FOX’s Twitter account shared the video which begins with Punk talking about meeting with FOX executives about his role on the show. The former WWE champion says he was told they want him on the show as an analyst, similar to A-Rod with MLB coverage and Troy Aikman with NFL coverage.

'I Kept My Miscarriage a Secret From My Best Friend' | Glamour
My best friend Sophie and I each got married within months of each other. We bonded in college over our shared propensity to laugh at things no one else found funny and the experience of being daughters to Irish mothers (if you have one, you will understand). We were inseparable. We were both only children, so it was somewhat inevitable that we became like sisters.
Adulthood hit us both differently. We were both very career oriented—Soph, a journalist; me, an executive at a tech company—but I got pregnant within a few months of getting married and she set off on a new adventure, temporarily moving to a different country for a job. The months passed, my son Fin arrived, and we saw each other a little less than usual while she was working away.
Hitler's vegetable garden discovered at his secret headquarters | Fox News
A garden that once provided Adolf Hitler with fresh vegetables has been discovered at his infamous Wolf’s Lair headquarters.
Hitler spent much of his time in the final years of the war at the Wolf’s Lair, which is located in what is now Poland. The top-secret, heavily guarded bunker complex was used by the Nazis until January 1945, when it was abandoned and partly destroyed ahead of advancing Soviet forces.
The garden was found on the grounds of Mazurolandia, a nearby theme park museum, and excavations took place during the summer.
Motorola Razr's secret keyboard screen is a blast from the past - CNET
Once the dialer is active, you'll press a soft key and the Razr beep-boop-beeps out its familiar tune ("Hello, Moto"). Peck at the buttons to dial a number, and groan at yourself as you stab the top part of the ordinarily touch-sensitive screen without it responding back. That's right, you have to use the on-screen navigation "buttons" to get anything done.
Motorola's retro dialer screen is a great little shot of nostalgia for anyone who used a flip phone, even if it wasn't the original Razr. Consider it a history lesson for the kids. Getting in and out of the skin isn't all that easy, and it's not really something you'd want to use every day, but that's the point of Easter eggs, and it's nice to see Motorola poke a little fun at itself -- and at us.
