Google and Nexis, the aids I lean on to compensate for my drained brain (even as they worsen the condition by flushing still more unprocessed trivia through it), show that the first available reference to newsheimers was on the CBS morning show 14 years ago. In a bit of incredibly pointless time-filling blather, Connie Chung was trying to remember when she took a Florida vacation, but the date just wouldn’t come back to her....
The winning numbers were 12, 21, 22, 30 and 33, while the Powerball was 24 and the Power Play was 4x. The latest round saw no winners of the top prize, but three lucky ticket holders matched the five white balls, winning them each the second prize, valued at $1 million. Of these winners, one purchased the Power Play option for $1, which raised their second prize earnings to $2 million....
But the process of trying to relocate the 2022 World Cup has been equally as messy. FIFA President Sepp Blatter has admitted that awarding Qatar the World Cup was a mistake, but switching venues is not exactly an easy thing to do. WORLD CUP: Brazil vs. Croatia photos | Hottest WAGs | Golden Ball contenders | Golden Boot contenders | Potential breakout stars | Best players absent Shortly after Brazil defeated Croatia 3-1 in the first opening game of the 2014 World Cup, ESPN's Jorge Ramos reported that FIFA had contacted U....
The great Dutchman inspired and paved the way for a generation of top tier dartists from his country and across continental Europe after his maiden world title victory at the 1998 BDO World Championship. After several major title triumphs in the British Darts Organisation system, Van Barneveld made his high-profile switch to the Professional Darts Corporation circuit in 2006. He achieved big accolades in his debut season – including winning the world championship – and was able to compete with career rival Phil Taylor on a regular basis....
Facing third-and-8 from his 27, Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett rolled right to avoid pressure from an oncoming Alabama blitz. He appeared to throw the ball away, resulting in an incomplete pass or — at worst — intentional grounding. Except: ACC officials calling the game ruled he had lost control of the ball prior to his arm moving forward, resulting in a fumble recovered by Alabama.

SPORTING NEWS: The 1981 players’ strike, which you chronicle in great detail, has been overshadowed in the popular imagination by the 1994-95 strike, I think. But you argue the ‘81 strike “saved baseball.” Why was it so important? MORE: Book chronicles 1976 baseball season JEFF KATZ: The 1981 strike was the first mid-season strike in sports history and, as such, deserves extra attention. After the players were granted free agency by an arbitrator’s decision in December of 1975, salaries skyrocketed....
The striker will play no part in the Blues’ visit to Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday after disputing the extent of an injury with the club’s medical staff. Chelsea silent on Costa bust-up claims Conte became involved in the argument and has subsequently decided Costa will not be involved in the match at the King Power Stadium. Costa is also understood to have received a huge offer from China - with reports claiming the salary package is worth £30 million a year - which he has in turn leveraged against Chelsea in order to land improved terms to his current deal....
Large acne pimples and boils can look very similar. They are both swollen, painful lumps with white heads. They are both filled with thick, yellowish fluid. Acne pimples and boils are not the same, though. They have different causes and treatments. This means you need to know which one you have before you can treat it. This article describes some of the differences between pimples and boils, and how they should be treated....
In order to better understand the human lifespan, let’s dive a little deeper into the concept and its important distinctions from other commonly used terms. Human Life Span vs. Human Life Expectancy The term lifespan is most commonly confused with another important concept: life expectancy. While both terms relate to the number of living years, they actually define very different concepts. While the term lifespan refers to the maximum number of years an individual can live, life expectancy refers to an estimate or an average number of years a person can expect to live....
Back in April, Whyte (27-3 with one no-contest, 18 KOs) was knocked out in round six by WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury before a record U.K. crowd of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. Fury was in terrific form, and the 35-year-old Whyte was unable to cope with his countryman’s mobility, speed, and sharp shooting. “It’s great to be back, doing what I love doing,” said a rejuvenated Whyte. “I can’t wait to get into the ring and show the world that when push comes to shove I can get right back up in Wembley and remind everyone why I was WBC number one for over four years....
But since the inception of the IPL, Ranji Trophy has been losing its significance and sheen. Except the odd player here and there, most of the Indian squad nowadays is selected on the basis of a player’s IPL performance. Regardless of the fact that IPL is treated by most as an international platform, performances in the Ranji Trophy should at least reward a player with a spot in the Indian Test squad....
The release of the book comes after the debut of D’Souza’s film of the same name, which claims widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Like the film, the book alleges that the Democratic Party and “mules” carrying bags of votes swayed results in President Joe Biden’s favor. D’Souza wrote on Truth Social that early copies of his book had been “recalled.” “There is an elaborate sausage-making process that goes into a book,” D’Souza tweeted on August 30....
Waiters, who was inbounding the ball, pushed Manu Ginobili out of the way just before committing a five-second violation. It looked as though Ginobili gave Waiters just enough room to make a play. (UPDATE: Maybe not. See below.) MORE: Worst NBA playoff chokes of all time, ranked Forget that Waiters turned the ball over anyway (after illegally leaving his feet to inbound the ball). The Spurs should have had possession out of bounds and been able to set up a potential game-winning shot....
The DJ and producer took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a lengthy statement as he hit out against the list of accusations leveled at him, including allegations he intentionally gave the woman a sexually transmitted disease. His post came one day after Buzzfeed published an article stating that the star was possibly facing criminal charges for sexual misconduct, stemming from the same complainant’s accusations—all of which Diplo’s lawyers have denied....
[HTML1] We’ve been asking for it for years, a Frostbite 2 powered Star Wars: Battlefront 3 from developer DICE, and it’s actually happening. It began as a pipedream on our part for the repeatedly postponed/canceled third installment in the Star Wars version of Battlefield but through a stroke of luck - perhaps destiny - Disney shutdown LucasArts, licensed Star Wars to Electronic Arts, and there began the development of what we all wanted....
It is unclear where the rumors started. Various social media users had referred to the alleged Bitcoin investment in the hours leading up to the report’s publication. Alistair Milne, CIO of the Altana Digital Currency Fund, claimed it was rumored that Facebook would announce Bitcoin holdings in its Q1 report in a tweet posted Tuesday. Milne later denied he had started the rumor and posted a screenshot of what appeared to be an email received on Tuesday morning from someone at Lansdowne Partners, a U....
While discussing his various projects outside of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, George R.R. Martin said, “I’ve consulted on a video game out of Japan.” No further details are offered, but a few months ago, rumors surfaced that George R.R. Martin was working with From Software on a video game. Now, it’s entirely possible that he is working with some other video game company based out of Japan and this is just a coincidence, but if so, it’s a strange coincidence to say the least....
Just like Gordon, Kenseth does not have a win yet this season. At this time last year, Kenseth had two wins in what was a stellar start to his tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing but he could not repeat his victories at Las Vegas or Darlington. “Last year at this time I was pretty comfortable,” Kenseth said last week at Darlington Raceway. “We had a couple wins, we were leading a lot of laps and things were really clicking along....
However, that was nothing but a false assumption as Mikel Arteta’s men thrashed Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s eleven in a thumping manner. In what was a tremendous performance from the Arsenal point of view. As a result of the 2-0 victory, Arsenal climbed up to the 10th spot with 27 points from 21 matches. On the other hand, United keep the 5th spot under their dominion after garnering 31 points from the same number of matches as Arsenal....
