So, with both the Yankees and Stanton off to a slow start this season, there’s a good amount of questions surrounding the slugger....

This article discusses the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of anthropophobia. What Is the Fear of People? Having an irrational fear of people is different than feeling uncomfortable in social situations. Anthropophobia can cause anxiety whether you are around a group of people or just one person.

All three were charged with conspiracy charges as well as honest services wire fraud. Jail secretary Sharon Griffith-McKnight wrote the letter to a judge on behalf of former inmate Anthony Ellison, who was imprisoned for the kidnapping of rapper Tekashi69. Ellison was a high-ranking member of the Nine Trey Bloods gang. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a release that MCC guards Perry Joyner and Mario Feliciano, along with Griffith-McKnight, “undermined the institution they swore to serve by conspiring with the very inmates they are charged to protect....

Fitzwilliam Darcy, a Flame Point Siamese cat from Edmonton, Canada, got to experience what it’s like to travel as a mini human (without the actual car ride). Posting to the THIS CAT IS C H O N K Y group on December 13, owner Natalie Ehrenholz shared two snaps of Fitz—who only goes by his full name when he’s in trouble—in her daughter’s car seat. Captioned “safety furst,” the adorable photos have received almost 4,000 likes from fellow cat lovers....

With names like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic representing their respective countries, there will be no shortage of superstar talent, but it doesn’t end with them. EuroBasket 2022 will see over 20 other NBA players take the floor in addition to a number of stars from international leagues, including a few names that should be familiar to NCAA basketball fans. Who is representing which country at EuroBasket 2022?...

With a semi-finals spot on the line, it had been a back-and-forth game to this point, with the United States holding a slim five-point lead. Then Kaleah Copper got fouled. This seemed to galvanize the American team that had looked uncharacteristically shaky before that point, and for the final 3:39 of the first half, Serbia would not score a single basket as the USA went on a 12-0 run. The halftime break would offer no respite to the Serbians, and having finally found some momentum, the USA showed exactly why they’re the favorites to win gold, outscoring their opponents 38-22 in the second half....

In much of the basketball world, he’s Coach K. Around here, he’s Mike Krzyzewski, Army class of 1969.

That kind of drive is what helped him win the MVP in 2018-19 after averaging 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists while helping the Bucks to the No. 1 seed in the East and an appearance in the conference finals. It’s a kind of drive his teammates rave about, and at the United States’ practice session Wednesday at the Mendenhall Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton couldn’t deny the respect they have for the 7-footer, even if they would be his rivals at the upcoming FIBA World Cup....

Here are two things to remember about a week that produced upset after upset, though: 1. The NCAA Tournament selection committee looks at the big picture. 2. Nothing happens in a vacuum. That’s why Villanova stays on the No. 1 seed line this week despite a loss at Marquette. It’s why Kentucky stays on the No. 2 seed line despite two losses. It’s why Florida State only drops one seed line despite two road losses last week....

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron walked out on Rutte on Saturday, Bloomberg reported, after being unable to agree on the nature of the $860 billion package during negotiations in Brussels. As of Monday morning, leaders have still been unable to reach a deal. A central issue was how much of the package would be given as grants and how much would be given as loans. Germany and France want around $456 billion to be given freely, while Rutte and his allies from Austria, Denmark and Sweden want the figure to be lower, Bloomberg said, citing an unnamed French diplomat....

Argentina and Juventus star Gonzalo Higuain leads the way, having bagged both goals in his side’s 2-0 victory over rivals AC Milan.
