The moderator began calling me Eleanor Rodham Clift. Hillary and I would laugh about that, and after the Republican Revolution in 1994, she seemed genuinely concerned that I would pay a price for this sisterly solidarity. She has shown me other kindnesses as well. The day after my husband died following a long battle with cancer, Hillary called me at home. Her first words were, “Oh, Eleanor, oh, oh, oh....
Summer Myomick, 24, was walking through a snowstorm on Tuesday with her 1-year-old son, Clyde Ongtowasruk, in the western village of Wales when the polar bear attacked. The incident occurred near a school, Alaska’s Department of Public Safety said. The polar bear reportedly chased multiple residents before killing the mother and child. During the attack, the animal was shot and killed by a resident. This was the first fatal bear attack to occur in Alaska since 1990....
“Thereafter, events were referred to as “before” or “after” the Fire,” he said in an eyewitness account at the Museum of the City of San Francisco. “The earthquake, responsible for the fire, was a secondary matter. As a seven-year-old boy, free of parental control for three days, I enjoyed the excitement of the disastrous events around me without comprehending their consequences.” Now scientists are warning that those consequences could be even more severe next time....
And other drivers often poke fun at the carefree and fun-loving Bowyer. "He comes across as the guy that can't make it through a cup of coffee without being distracted," friend Kevin Harvick said recently. Now Bowyer is using his so-called condition to help sell race tickets in a hilarious video for Phoenix International Raceway. The video shows Bowyer sitting in front of his team hauler using cards to deliver his message....
Bill Clinton promised to have diversity, and last week he began delivering. Of his first 11 appointments, men were ahead in the gender game, 7-4, but women felt like the winners. For his economic team, Clinton picked former Congressional Budget Office -director Alice Rivlin as deputy budget director and Berkeley economist Laura D’Andrea Tyson as the first woman ever to run the Council of Economic Advisers. A pair of social activists, Donna Shalala and Carol Browner, will head Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency....
The Clippers rookie forward won’t be charged in his spousal abuse case after the L.A. city attorney’s office cited insufficient evidence and declined to proceed, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday. MORE: Steve Smith mocks Greg Hardy’s abuse denial Dawson was arrested at 8:30 a.m. PT March 13, just one day after being recalled from the NBA D-League, on a felony domestic-violence charge.

But is the Paul-Silva fight actually bad for boxing, or are people just overreacting? Speaking of boxing fans, how long must they wait for a bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford? Do they have patience to wait another year? Finally, is Tyson Fury sabotaging his own career by retiring and then unretiring to face Derek Chisora, a man he has beaten twice already? The Sporting News’ Andreas Hale and Emmy-nominated producer and broadcaster Curran Bhatia break down all that and more on episode 11 of “Clobberin’ Time....
That’s the kind of response I am typically used to when a vehicle hits another. That mind you, is usually an epilogue after the customary hurling of abuses! You can’t really blame me for having anticipated a similar reaction earlier while I was trying to reach the Jawahar Lal Stadium in Fatorda, Goa earlier today. Instead what happened amazed me; both, the driver of the scooter who seemed a little hurt and that of the jeep got off their respective vehicles and in what seemed like a rehearsed deed shouted “Forca Goa”!...
Recently, General Sniper was on the verge of signing for one of the biggest eSports organizations in the world, in the form of Cloud9. However, the move ended up falling through due to LCS (League of Legends Championship Series) regulations. Currently, the streamer has around 68k followers on Twitch, and has in a short span of time, come to be recognized as one of the upcoming prodigies of the game....
One man in Malaysia was able to turn his luck around and make his somewhat niche job into something sought out heavily during the pandemic. Shaharul Hisam Baharudin once made his living as a clown, hired for parties and special events before COVID-19. Now, he’s bring a little of that joy into people’s homes as a professional cleaner—with a twist. Baharudin soon began using the smoke machine he previously employed during events to disinfect homes....
Cabana said that Punk walking away from WWE is not a work. He said that Punk really walked away, and noted that Punk has been upset for a while now about his position in the company. Gaurav asked Cabana if Punk will return to WWE before Wrestlemania XXX, and he replied, “I don’t think so, he’s pretty pissed off right now. But never say never.” Cabana then had to leave before Gaurav could ask any more questions....
Both Tiger teams lost plenty of intricate pieces from last year’s respective squads but, based off Week 1 performances, it was hard to tell what positions if any saw a dropoff. WEEK 2 PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant had the troublesome task of taking the reins from the best quarterback in program history, Deshaun Watson. He played well in his first start, using his dual-threat ability to rack up 149 total yards of offense with one touchdown — in the first quarter....
It’s a huge piece of the College Football Playoff puzzle. The Tigers (7-0) won’t have quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who will miss his second straight game after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. Freshman quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei led a comeback against Boston College in Lawrence’s place last week, and Clemson is still favored to win at Notre Dame Stadium. The Irish (6-0) remain unbeaten in their first season in ACC play, and Ian Book can add a signature victory to an otherwise under-appreciated career as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback....
A week later, when I was back home in the States after a “political pundit tour” of Israel with other journalists, the tranquil scene we had observed became the bloody launch of a new and violent wave of hostilities. Hizbullah crossed over into Israeli sovereign territory to abduct two soldiers (leaving eight others dead), prompting retaliatory bombing by Israel that has rapidly escalated into something approaching full-scale war. I remember one earnest young Israeli soldier telling us last week that all the action was in Gaza....
Clint Dempsey, the second-leading scorer in U.S. history, is not on the 23-man roster for upcoming qualifiers against St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago. PHOTOS: Remembering USA vs. Mexico | Best international rivalries While the veteran Dempsey awaits more formidable competition, Klinsmann will choose from a group of forwards that includes Bobby Wood (22), the breakout star in a pair of European friendlies this summer, and Stanford’s Jordan Morris (21)....
But what if he’s pardoned? Vice President Gore would face voter ire if he became president and pardoned Clinton. But Clinton might pardon himself, after the November 2000 presidential election. Don’t be prissy. The Constitution gives the president power to pardon ““for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.’’ That’s it. Nothing that says he can’t pardon himself for federal crimes, though the last clause means he can’t block his own impeachment....
Following the release of his new film, “Luca,” the old video resurfaced online, leading the Disney star to mock the online “cancel culture.” The 2018 video was previously leaked through the actor’s own snapchat account. In the video, a young Jack Dylan Grazer can be seen smoking cannabis and vaping. The clip immediately went viral and created a frenzy on social media. After facing severe backlash, the then 14-year-old “It” star posted an apology on his Instagram....
The NBA announced Saturday that the Clippers guard has been suspended one game without pay for an “unsportsmanlike act” in Los Angeles’ Game 6 loss to Phoenix on Wednesday night. Beverley was ejected from that contest after shoving Suns star Chris Paul in the fourth quarter as both players were walking toward their respective benches. MORE: Finally, it’s Chris Paul’s time to play for an NBA championship Beverley tweeted an apology to Paul on Thursday, saying that “emotions got the best of me....
NBA All-Star Griffin was sensationally dealt to the Pistons earlier in February, ending his long-standing association with the Clippers. Griffin averaged 22.6 points and 7.9 rebounds for the Clippers prior to getting traded to the Pistons after 33 games, however he did miss 16 games in that stretch. Los Angeles gave Griffin a five-year, $173million contract this offseason, presumably to feature him as the focus of the team’s rebuilding efforts in the coming years....
