"Winds will be strong out of the south or southeast during the day Thursday, with gusts in the 25 mph to 35 mph range. With this strong onshore flow, there likely will be some minor coastal flooding, especially during high tide on Thursday. Street flooding is possible particularly in low-lying areas, Warthen said.
The line will bring cooler weather. The high on Friday for Lafayette is 71, Warthen added, but it will warm back up quickly.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Members of unions representing Cleveland police officers and paramedics have said they won’t hold a large U.S. flag during pregame ceremonies prior to next Sunday’s Cleveland Browns season opener after a group of Browns players knelt during the national anthem before a preseason game last month.
Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, cited his service in the U.S. Navy when he told WKYC-TV he was astounded that Browns management knew of the protests but allowed it to occur.
“I am not going to participate or work with management that allows their players to disrespect the flag and the national anthem,” Loomis said.
Nearly a dozen Browns players knelt in a circle and prayed in silent protest during the anthem before a preseason home game Aug. 21 against the New York Giants. A smaller group of players placed hands on the shoulders of their kneeling teammates.
A team spokesman issued a statement at halftime that said the organization has a “profound respect” for the national anthem, the U.S. flag and those who serve in the military.
“We feel it’s important for our team to join in this great tradition and special moment of recognition, at the same time we also respect the great liberties afforded by our country, including the freedom of personal expression,” the statement said.
Dan Nemeth, president of the Cleveland Association of Rescue Employees Local 1975, said he had a similar reaction to Loomis’. He told Cleveland.com he served in the U.S. Marine Corps and finds it “hypocritical” for Browns management to say they support the military while allowing players to kneel during the anthem.
About 30 Browns players stood arm-to-arm in a line behind the rest of the team during the national anthem before an Aug. 26 preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A veterans group outside Strongsville said last week that it would not show Browns games because of the player protests.
The Browns’ protests are part of a social-consciousness movement started last season by then-quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who became a polarizing figure for kneeling during the anthem.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the July 14 attack in Nice, France.
Amaq News is the most prolific outlet in the Islamic State’s propaganda machine. Its statement was quickly followed up by other official claims from the group. The messages do not include any specific details about the terrorist responsible, nor do they indicate that the so-called caliphate had foreknowledge of his plans. But the Islamic State’s international network could have been involved.
French officials and media outlets have identified Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a 31 year-old originally from Tunisia, as the assailant. At least 84 people were killed when he drove a truck into a Bastille Day celebration. Counterterrorism officials in France and elsewhere are working to determine if Bouhlel had any solid connections to the Islamic State’s external operations arm, which has been plotting operations in Europe, or was inspired by the group’s call to violence.
Amaq’s wording — namely, labeling Bouhlel a “soldier of the Islamic State” — is the same formulation used after past attacks.
Omar Mateen, who repeatedly pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi the night of his attack on a LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Fla. in June, was described as a “fighter” for the organization.
The Islamic State has repeatedly called on its members and supporters to kill civilians in the West. The number of committed jihadists and new recruits willing to heed this call has increased dramatically since 2014. By their own admission, however, the Islamic State’s leadership has also been met with some resistance when it comes to killing civilians, as opposed to members of the military or government officials.
“It has reached us that some of you do not act due to their incapacity to reach military targets, or their finding fault with targeting those who are called ‘civilians,’ so they leave harming them, doubting the permissibility thereof,” Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammed al Adnani said during a speech in May. “Know that inside the lands of the belligerent crusaders, there is no sanctity of blood and no existence of those called ‘innocents,’” Adnani continued.
“Know that your targeting those who are called ‘civilians’ is more beloved to us and more effective, as it is more harmful, painful, and a greater deterrent to them,” Adnani assured his audience.
Al Bayan, another propaganda outlet for the “caliphate,” followed up Amaq’s statement with one of its own. Al Bayan emphasized that the attack in Nice was carried out in “response to calls from the Islamic State to target states participating in the Crusader coalition that fights the Caliphate,” according to a translation by the SITE Intelligence Group.
Al Bayan described Bouhlel as a “soldier from the soldiers of the State,” adding that he had executed a “new, unique operation” with a “large truck.” The message didn’t offer any details on Bouhlel’s attack that aren’t already widely known, but it will take some time before a more complete picture comes into focus.
Jonatan Aron Leandoer Håstad’s latest album, “Nectar,” is to his musical career what a finsta is to a rinsta.
For readers without Instagram accounts, let me explain: the “finsta” is the latest social media trend that has captured the hearts of young people everywhere. Finsta, an abbreviated term for “fake Instagram,” stands in contrast to the “rinsta,” or “real Instagram.” On a rinsta, there’s a pressure to keep up a certain clean-and-neat public appearance to your followers, some of whom may be co-workers or employers.
On a finsta, however, things are much different.
Finstas often involve goofy usernames like “young_juul_lord” or “mattysmokes,” and finsta posts are usually funny, dumb, inappropriate or some mix of the three — basically, anything a person would not want to share with their hundreds of rinsta followers. Finstas normally have a small number of followers — usually only close friends — compared with a rinsta, which could have followers in the hundreds or thousands. In essence, finstas provide an important outlet for nonsensical personal expression away from the critical eye of the masses — unless, of course, a finsta post is screenshotted. But that’s a different story.
For Jonatan Aron Leandoer Håstad, his rap persona, Yung Lean, was his rinsta. As Yung Lean, the 22-year-old Swedish rapper was the forerunner of the “sad boy” or cloud-rap genre. His brand of hazy, melancholic music garnered respect from Frank Ocean, earned him a hit with the track “Red Bottom Sky” and inspired a number of other artists to push the boundaries of rap such as bladee, Pouya and $uicideboy$.
But along with this success, Yung Lean simultaneously acquired an image to maintain — one of drugs, darkness and depression — and expectations to meet. So, in an effort to find an outlet for personal expression without the weight of being Yung Lean, Håstad adopted a “finsta,” so to speak: a new name, Jonatan Leandoer127, and a new genre of music.
“Nectar,” which Håstad released in January of 2019 under the name Jonatan Leandoer127, is by no means a rap album. Stylistically, it differs sharply from all of Håstad’s work as Yung Lean. The album lies somewhere between a number of genres, incorporating elements of indie, art and punk rock, country and folk. “Tangerine Warrior (Freestyle),” which is not a freestyle in the traditional sense, beautifully transitions from riotous trumpets to a somber piano outro.
In the same album, “Off With Their Heads” sounds like an early-00’s indie-rock song, with loud drums and a reverb heavy guitar. On the track, and against the instrumental backdrop, Håstad’s writing shines in a way that it didn’t on his work as Yung Lean. “Tales from unknown rabbits were the only thing you can see/And they jumped across like small, small town politicians trying to get their word across without using any social media or anything,” he rambles in his customary monotone and removed style.
His lyrics maintain the darker, dismal themes found on Yung Lean tracks, but the same themes layered over upbeat instrumentals carry a different meaning. “Take this key and take me to the end/Lugubrious treason, trench coats out of town” off “Wooden Girl” and “Who’s the man with the sapphire eyes/Who used to watch me in my room at night?/Spider arms, black teeth and eyes/Make me wanna kill ’em all somehow” off “My Guardian” stick out as particularly icy verses.
“Nectar” is a lot like a finsta post: unpolished and a little rough around the edges. Nevertheless, it’s still worthy of acclaim. It finds Håstad exploring a different direction, free from the constraints of the Yung Lean name and persona, and doing it well. Jonatan Leandoer127 may always come second to Yung Lean and remain Håstad’s finsta — but if he ever decided to switch things up, it could serve as a very exciting rinsta.
Though I’m not a fan of wearing makeup everyday, when I do, it has to be on point. That means dark circles are disguised, dark spots are nowhere to be seen and my face is dewy without being greasy. For as long as I’ve been watching tutorials, getting expert advice from makeup artists and making mental notes of backstage Fashion Week tricks, the one thing I’ve never given a fair shot is learning how to apply foundation with hands.
I’m a germaphobe and the method just never appealed to me. Going against dermatologist advice which says to keep your hands off your face outside of cleansing and moisturizing is crazy, right? Well, according to some, there are exceptions and foundation application is one of them. Because while beautyblenders and pretty makeup brush sets are great for backup, nothing beats using your skin to get that second-skin effect.
When it comes to brushes and sponges, too much of a good thing is definitely possible. “The downside of using brushes are in that some brushes can layer excess product, resulting in too much of a full coverage finish,” says Dior Makeup Artist Ricky Wilson.
Brushes are also more likely to leave streaks, making it obvious that you are wearing foundation versus looking more natural. Sponges have a tendency to absorb a lot of your makeup too and more often than not, you’ll end up with more foundation trapped in the sponge than what makes it onto your face.
“Sponges are also subject to bacteria growth, so if they aren’t washed regularly, they can cause breakouts,” says Wilson.
In makeup artist circles, hands have always been the gold standard. Before brushes and sponges, they typically use their hands to apply the base, which makes it easy to continue the same method while applying coverage.
Start by dabbing one or two pumps of foundation on the back of a cleaned hand–whichever one you don’t write with. Next, Wilson suggests picking up the foundation little by little using two fingers (index and middle).
Kaiser Permanente said a missing flash drive from its Anaheim Medical Center contained information on 49,000 patients.
Healthcare giant Kaiser Permanente has notified about 49,000 patients of a privacy breach at its Anaheim Medical Center.
Kaiser said a computer flash drive was reported missing Sept. 25 inside the hospital's nuclear medicine department. The storage drive included patient names, date of birth, their medical record number and the type and amount of a specific medication.
The files didn't contain Social Security numbers or financial information, the company said.
"Kaiser Permanente takes the protection of our members' personal and health information seriously, and we apologize for this occurrence," said Kaiser spokeswoman Peggy Hinz.
The Oakland healthcare system said the missing data weren't encrypted or password-protected. The company advised patients to monitor their medical records "to ensure no fraudulent use of their medical information has taken place."
Ginger Buck, a retiree in San Bernardino County, said Kaiser notified her last week that she was among the 49,000 patients affected by the incident. She's been a Kaiser patient since 1997.
"I'm really angry and devastated," Buck said. "I'm concerned with what may happen with my information down the road."
Kaiser is one of the nation's biggest HMOs with 9.1 million members, and it also operates 38 hospitals across the country. It reported $50.6 billion in revenue last year.
Many health insurers, hospitals and other medical providers continue to struggle with safeguarding sensitive patient information.
In October, AHMC Healthcare Inc. in Alhambra reported that the theft of two laptops from an office had exposed protected health information of roughly 729,000 patients from six Southern California hospitals it runs.
The stolen information included patients' names, insurance information, treatment codes and payment details.

Not everyone wants to be part of Music’s Biggest Night.
Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Childish Gambino will not take the stage at Sunday’s Grammys, according to The New York Times. Despite being nominated for multiple awards, all three acts declined the opportunity to perform. It’s unclear if they will attend the show.
Hosted by Alicia Keys, the 61st annual Grammy Awards are set to feature performances from Cardi B, Travis Scott, Post Malone, Janelle Monáe, H.E.R., and Camila Cabello, as well as a Motown tribute with Jennifer Lopez.
The show will air live from L.A.’s Staples Center on Sunday at 8 p.m. on CBS.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech linebacker Quayshawn Nealy expects no drop-off when junior quarterback Hutson Mason makes his first career start for Georgia.
It's been a recurring theme this year for Georgia's offense - when one big playmaker goes down, someone else fills the void.
The player that went down last week, four-year starting quarterback Aaron Murray, is the biggest name yet.
"Everybody knows about Murray, but Hutson Mason has completed over 68 percent of his passes," Nealy said this week. "At the end of the Kentucky game, he moved the ball well. We're going to have to play him just as well as we play Murray."
Mason, in his fourth year at Georgia, is making his first start because Murray underwent season-ending surgery earlier this week.
Even though the Bulldogs will arrive Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium with Murray, Malcom Mitchell, Keith Marshall and Justin Scott-Wesley unable to play, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson believes Georgia still has enough offensive weapons to cause problems.
Look no further than tailback Todd Gurley, whom Johnson compares to Bulldogs legend Herschel Walker.
Johnson says if Gurley "isn't the best running back in the country, he is certainly part of a small line."
Despite missing three games with an ankle injury, Gurley returned to help Georgia beat Florida four weeks ago and has averaged 6.2 yards per carry and 12.7 yards per catch in 74 touches since. The sophomore also has scored six touchdowns.
Last year against Georgia Tech in Athens, Gurley ran for two early touchdowns and finished with 97 yards on 12 carries and two catches for 20 yards.
Gurley finished last season as Georgia's first true freshman to rush for 1,000 yards since Walker in 1980.
"To get him to the ground, we're going to need a lot of defenders around him to make tackles," Nealy said. "It's going to take just one guy to bring him down. It's going to take the whole team. That's we're working in practice and that's what we plan on doing in the game."
The Jackets (7-4) have lost 10 the last 11 series matchups with Georgia (7-4).
Under new defensive coordinator Ted Roof, the Jackets' run defense ranks 10th in the nation, but top opponents like Clemson and Miami have fared better than the lesser teams on Georgia Tech's schedule.
Clemson racked up 556 yards of total offense, 173 on the ground, in the Jackets' 55-31 loss two weeks ago.
At Miami on Oct. 5, Georgia Tech was beaten 45-30 as the Hurricanes piled up 551 total yards, 227 on the ground.
Johnson expects Gurley to get plenty of touches.
"They're going to get him the ball because he's a load to tackle," Johnson said. "That will be a challenge."
The Jackets' pass defense, which ranks 82nd, has been prone to give up big plays.
At Clemson, Georgia Tech couldn't cover the deep ball as Tigers quarterback Tajh Boyd threw touchdown passes 41, 44 and 76 yards and moved the chains with completions covering 21, 33 and 47 yards.
Mason has plenty of capable targets in flankers Rantavious Wooten, Chris Conley and Reggie Davis and split ends Michael Bennett, Rhett McGowan and Jonathon Rumph.
And in 13 seasons under coach Mark Richt, Georgia uses the play-action as well as any team in the country.
"You can't put so many guys in there (to stop Gurley) that you give away the passing game and put your (defensive backs) on an island," Johnson said. "It's kind of a mixed bag. You have to mix it up and hope that your front six can play the run."
Georgia Tech defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu, whom Richt described as one of nation's the top pass rushers coming off the edge, will lead pressure from the line.
The Jackets hope that Mason won't prove to be as mobile as Murray, who was renowned for making plays after getting flushed from the pocket.
"That's a pretty good team," Attaochu said. "Gurley is a playmaker, one of the best backs in the country. They've got a good offensive line and a quarterback who's very capable."
NEW YORK, March 10 (UPI) — Prices on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market ended sharply lower Monday, amid continued geopolitical risks, worries over the U.S. economy and a continued weakening of the dollar.

Markets remained unnerved over the continuing Iraq crisis and there were growing concerns over North Korea, after that country test-fired another missile over the Sea of Japan.
Growing international tension caused a sell-off in the dollar, which hit a four-year low against the euro and a seven-month low against the yen.
