The No. 1 ranked Florida State Seminoles and the Florida Gators were in Jacksonville, Fla., on Tuesday night when things got tense in the rivarly game. Apparently a collision at first base sparked this benches-clearing brawl between the two teams. Here it is on video. In all, three players were ejected from the game: Gators' infielder Zack Powers and LHP Danny Young, as well as Seminoles outfielder D.J. Stewart. Florida went on to upset No....
Don’t automatically think of sex cases as gender cases. Yes, it’s important to ask if Lieutenant Flinn was singled out just because she was a woman. But it’s most important to see that the rules are consistently applied to everyone, male and female. My father was a navy veteran, and my parents taught me to believe that the higher the seniority, the greater the responsibility. But too often enlisted personnel and junior officers get hammered while senior officers slide by....
Holding on through days, weeks and months of a disease with no cure — and a college football season with no relief. “We just kept telling ourselves, tomorrow is another day,” Jay Prosch says.

In a video posted to TikTok on December 13, @redcobweb shared a clip from the 2000 film, in which Jim Carrey’s eyes change color during a scene. “Every time I watch the Grinch I notice this one little mistake they made whether they forgot to either put his contacts in or to edit them in afterwards,” @cobweb said in the video. “So just Jim Carrey’s brown eyes are just there....
Nigel Williams-Goss, Gonzaga’s All-American point guard and unquestioned team leader, looked around as the final seconds lapsed in the national semifinal against South Carolina, the Zags protecting a 3-point lead, and saw his teammates weren’t following their coach’s instructions. So he reiterated them.

Unlike 2000 (and of course 2004) George W. Bush and Karl Rove don’t have the event wired. So it is wide open—just as the Republican nomination race is—and so Orlando is an important pit stop, especially for Sens. John McCain and Sam Brownback and former governors Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. All of them want to win the nomination by building from the base outward, the way it’s been done in the party since the days of Reagan....
I wasn’t ready to conclude that 2008 is going to be a Democratic year, but the metastasizing Craig saga is tempting me to abandon my reporter’s caution. Sometimes in American politics, you can’t make the stuff up: a Republican conservative stalwart, sworn enemy of gay rights, nabbed in a men’s room stall in the very city in which the GOP plans to hold its presidential convention! If the Democrats handle this right—and of course there is no assurance that they will—they could weaken the GOP’s “values voter” base just enough to win the White House....
The Italian side continue to pay respect to their captain, who died from natural causes that led to heart problems just hours ahead of a scheduled match against Udinese earlier this month. Fiorentina retired the number 13 jersey days before Astori was given a grand farewell at his funeral in the city, attended by a huge number of supporters as well as famous faces from across Italian football. Ahead of Fiorentina’s first game since Astori’s passing, the players warmed up in shirts showing his name and number and a banner reading “captain forever” was placed on the field while players carried one of their own reading “Ciao Davide”....
The Los Angeles County Fire Department public information officer Twitter account posted a video on Wednesday that was captured by KTLA showing the fire tornadoes. “The #RouteFire was balanced to a 2nd alarm fire at approximately 12:32 p.m. No structures threatened at this time,” the tweet said. According to the Library of Congress, a fire tornado or “fire whirl,” is defined by the U.S. Forestry Service as a “spinning vortex column of ascending hot air and gases rising from a fire and carrying aloft smoke, debris, and flame....
Dunbar, 49, had his 9-1-1 contract terminated by studio executives in November amidst new COVID guidelines that had been implemented on set the previous month. He had played Michael before his character was written off after his departure. Michael had been one of the show’s recurring characters since the series premiered in 2017. At the time of his exit, Dunbar told Deadline he was dismissed from the show following alleged instances of discrimination because of his refusal to get the COVID-19 jab....
Brandon Mulvaney is a part of the Saginaw Fire Department that was called in to rescue the stray, now named Huntley, in August after locals heard crying from the drain. The heroic firefighter said he knew straight away he wanted the kitten to be the newest member of his family after it came straight to him during the rescue. Now, Huntley is settling into his new home with Mulvaney, his wife, their four children and dog....
Cars caught on fire, erupting in flames sparked by burning rubber. One driver had to be rescued from his charred and burning vehicle. Three drivers bumped and banged and blocked their way toward the checkered flag, their late-race battle opening the door for a fourth driver to win. Angry Brad Keselowski pointed his finger at Matt Kenseth and delivered some choice words, and then hopped onto the hood of winning teammate Joey Logano’s car....
Ladies and gentlemen, we give you yet another reason why what you think is so bad about the BCS really isn’t that bad at all. Or at the very least, isn’t any different than the shiny, sparkly “new” you’ve been sold. The fabulous and fair “playoff” everyone clamored for that follows this perfectly imperfect BCS system next fall, really isn’t any different than what we’ve got now.

But for emotions, it is commonly thought by experts that the most recent, rather than initial, experiences impact mood the most. Hanna Keren, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Mood Brain and Development Unit, and author on a study that challenges this view says it’s time to reevaluate that. “When learning a new environment, each experience provides us new information that we can compare against prior information,” Keren tells Verywell....

“We believe in him 100 percent,” the Florida State coach said Monday in regards to Jameis Winston and his future with the Seminoles. During his weekly conference call, Fisher was asked a series of questions about his confidence in Winston playing Saturday against Notre Dame and beyond. He said Winston will play against the Irish and he expects him to play the rest of the season. This comes on the heels of Winston being notified by the university last Friday that he will face a disciplinary hearing to see if he violated the school’s conduct code from when he was accused of sexual assault of a FSU student in 2012....
Yet of the top-level players in the administration, only Paul Wolfowitz directly advocated military action against Iraq before September 11. From the collective perspective of Bush’s foreign-policy team, Iraq fell into the category of big problems that weren’t urgent. His people were instinctually critical of Clinton’s proportionate responses to Saddam’s provocations and felt they might have to act more decisively at some point in the future. But the same category of problem also included North Korea and Pakistan’s nuclear programs, Russia’s growing authoritarianism, and China’s belligerence toward Taiwan....
The Nigeria international returned to action last weekend in Palmas’ loss to Levante after missing two games owing to a hamstring injury. La Union Deportiva have only won five times in 31 games this season and are placed 19th in the log after managing 21 points. However, ahead of their tie against Real Sociedad on Saturday, the fit-again midfielder has revealed his desire to help the club remain in the top-flight next term....
