A day after PETA came after Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes for sending his 275-pound, $7,000 prize-winning pig to the butcher, White Sox catcher Dioner Navarro promises his pig will not meet the same fate. MORE: MLB’s 2016 Impact Rookies | Brewers dog mascot controversy Last month, Navarro purchased a pet micro pig named Sassy for his wife as a Valentine’s Day gift, according to csnchicago.com. It wasn’t a joke gift because the cute little pig is more like a pet than food....

The speech angered Pakistani officials, already upset by a recent National Intelligence Estimate that concluded Al Qaeda has “regenerated key elements” of its ability to attack the United States in Pakistan’s tribal region of north Waziristan. “I think he is misinformed as far as this goes,” Pakistani Ambassador Mahmud Ali Durrani told NEWSWEEK. “We want to take out high-value targets whenever we can. This seems to be a favorite topic—hitting Pakistan....

By any measure, Iran deserves to near the very top of the foreign agenda. Iran has a hand in every hotspot the United States is trying to clean up: Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East. Moreover, it poses enough threats to earn priority status all on its own. During the run-up to the war in Iraq, senior U.S. officials repeatedly justified the conflict by describing what they called “the nexus” between terrorists and nuclear, chemical and biological weapons....

It all started when Dickie V sent out a NSFW tweet to try and promote the Louisville-Virginia game on ESPN. MORE: BYU guard’s record | No. 6 Arizona falls | So does No. 8 Kansas The college basketball pundit then immediately claimed his account was hacked. What really happened was that Vitale hit the auto fill function a little too quickly on his phone or he simply tagged the wrong handle when he published his original Instagram post....

Dicka’s two first-half strikes (30th and 45+1), the second off a penalty, gave Mohun Bagan their first win of the season. They now have five points from three games. The Arrows suffered their second loss and remain on three points, courtesy their win against Shillong Lajong at the same venue. The Arrows strategy was clearly to sit back and defend as Mohun Bagan not only dominated possession but also had all the goal scoring chances of the first half....

Happy that his former club had managed to snap up World Cup winner N’golo Kante to a five-year deal, Drogba urged Hazard to follow suit. “He has to be the next one to sign,” he told Goal. He was speaking in his role as the Global Ambassador for Yokohama Tyres at an event in New Delhi. Drogba went on to fondly refer to Hazard as the ‘Prince of Stamford Bridge’ after his own moniker as the ‘King’....

Once again I have to emphasise that these are only reports and could have little substance whatsoever but let’s just think about it as if it does for the time being, could you see something like this happening? The Fernando Torres link to Atletico Madrid will never, ever go away because it’s the side he supports, the side he played for, Captained and has openly admitted that he would love to return there one day to finish his career....

Mistake: Eating Too Much Fruit at Once It’s a myth that people with PCOS should not eat fruit. No, the fruit does not have too much sugar in it and no, the fruit is not the same as eating sugar cubes. Fruit provides important nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants that can actually lower insulin levels. A big mistake some people with PCOS make is eating too much fruit at once. For example, they make a smoothie which includes several pieces or cups of fruit....

In the 17th minute, Cote d’Ivoire international Assale opened the scoring for Young Boys before Mbokani equalised off a Vitaly Buyalsky assist in the 34th minute. Six minutes later, Assale grabbed his brace to give Adi Hutter’s men a 2-1 lead heading into the break. Few moments after the interval, Mykola Morozyuk made sure both sides had a share of the spoils. The Swiss outfit would, however, finish the tie with a man less after Cote d’Ivoire midfielder, Sekou Sanogo picked up a second booking in the 82nd minute....

Two kinds of pegylated interferons are available and used to treat Hepatitis C virus infection. Peginterferon alfa-2a: Also called alfa-2a, commercial name Pegasys. Peginterferon alfa-2b: Also called alfa-2b, commercial name PegIntron.

As far as Ultimate Digimon go, which is the second to last stage of a Digimon’s evolution, none hold quite as much weight as MetalGreymon. The missile-launcher armed robotic dinosaur debuted as one of the toughest monsters within the entire series. While its debut is largely unchanged within the Adventure reboot, the anime has recently introduced a striking new weapon for the dino’s right arm.

While it may seem that Digimon Survive is mostly an action game, that’s not quite the case. According to the development team, Digimon Survive is about 70% visual novel/text adventure and 30% tactical battles. Players will spend a lot of time speaking to characters, making decisions, and investigating objects in the environment. There are even multiple endings, with some of them leading to the death of specific characters. RELATED: Digimon Survive Makes Serious Changes to the Digivolution Process...

Vitale announced via ESPN Front Row that he underwent surgery to treat a severe form of dysplasia, called Carcinoma in Situ, on his vocal cords. He said the procedure took three hours, but that Dr. Steven Zeitels, a nationally acclaimed vocal cord specialist, successfully removed the disease. “As hard as it’s been, resting my voice for the past four weeks was a key in clearing up the inflammation, which allowed him to proceed as planned,” Vitale wrote....

Easter Eggs can range from the obvious thing that everyone will get, to the smallest background image that only hardcore fans will notice, or the incredibly in-depth, down-the-rabbit-hole adventure that’ll take multiple people to crack. Of course, some are easier to figure out than others. But what do Easter Eggs have to do with Destiny and, even more surprising, Game of Thrones? Well, Bungie latest is no stranger to hiding a few fun Destiny Easter Eggs, but it would seem that the game received a small reference in last week’s Game of Thrones episode....

While Belichick likely isn’t in on the newest lingo because he’s not on SnapFace or InstaChat or whatever it is the youths are doing, shaking his head is exactly what he was doing after a Mac Jones overthrow during Alabama’s pro day on Tuesday. Cameras cut to Belichick with a dad-like disapproval after the Jones overthrow, leading to some believing that Belichick was disappointed with the Jones miss.

Welcome to the Club: There is probably no more an opponent of the Affordable Care Act than Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn. (The Texas Democratic Party points out that Mr. Cornyn has voted 20 times to repeal the ACA.) So it was, say, interesting when he recently seemed to recommend that his unemployed/uninsured constituents take advantage of it. I couldn’t say it any better than Cornyn himself, so here you go, compliments of PBS in Austin: “Well, the good news is that if you lose your employer-provided coverage, which covers about 180 million Americans, that is a significant life event, which makes you eligible to sign up for the Affordable Care Act....

Dupree signed with WWE in 2002 at the age of 18, and made his main roster debut just a few months later. His tenure with WWE lasted until 2007 and he hasn’t returned to the company since.
