The veteran sports broadcaster found out the hard away about a year ago. Spake was training for her next athletic achievement, and she needed a twist to her Saturday morning run, a new source of focus. Nothing motivates the 43-year-old more than her husband, Jerry, and identical twin boys, so her house, as part of a newly configured running loop, would serve as her water station. She would be able to use her own family as a checkpoint, of sorts....

Like one in three women worldwide, I’ve been the victim of sexual assault and harassment. And so the tragedy of the kidnapping and murder of Sarah Everard in the UK wasn’t surprising, nor was the trending Twitter hashtag men responded with: #NotallMen. We all want to believe in good men. And because I live with a “good” man, while raising two (sometimes) good boys and a girl, I haven’t talked much about my trauma relating to men....

The video shared to Twitter shows a car appearing to briefly stop near a crosswalk filled with protesters. At least one protester apparently attempts to block the car with a bicycle before the car accelerates through the area, running into multiple protesters in the process. Calls have been made for help in identifying the car’s driver and occupants, although they cannot be clearly seen in the video that appears online....

The returnees have picked just three points from ten games and currently sit at the foot of the table. “The coach was happy with the work of the team and the players despite our defeat to Valencia (2-1) last weekend. But we have to think that we have to win games already,” Wakaso said. “There are always things to improve on to avoid relegation. We have to score goals because other teams in front of us do not have many points....

There was a fall on the final corner which ruined the chances of the FDJ team, who swept several other riders to the floor, but by then Degenkolb was clear and the German was once again able to show he is the fastest sprinter in the race, coming over the line ahead of the veteran Tom Boonen. It was the German’s third win and his eighth triumph in Spain in his last two appearances....

People tend to think that warnings pertain to everyone but themselves. It’s hard to think of yourself as needing a warning, or being fallible, or mortal. Maybe that’s just human nature. Sometimes, we need stern reminders and, unfortunately, tragic events often deliver those reminders. Too often, the reminder comes after the death of a well-known person due to overdose. But, it shouldn’t take a news event to remind us. The information is attached to every prescription bottle we pick up at the pharmacy....

Gout (also called gouty arthritis) is caused by hyperuricemia, a condition marked by an excess amount of uric acid in the blood. Alcohol can increase uric acid levels in the body, resulting in gout flares. Gout symptoms include sudden and severe joint pain (especially in the fingers and toes), swelling, stiffness, and a mild fever. Both the type of alcohol consumed as well as the amount of alcohol consumed play a role in the severity and likelihood of a gout flare....

Well, yes. Yes, it is. MORE: Must-see photos | Unintentional Jeter tribute | Spector’s Playoff Journal Detroit already trailed 4-3 in Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday, when Max Scherzer gave up a one-out double to Alejandro De Aza. It was Scherzer’s 98th pitch of the game, and Baltimore’s best hitter, Adam Jones, was coming up, so it made sense for manager Brad Ausmus to make the move to the bullpen....

“Here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence, and he was pointing the finger at me and saying I was responsible for the death,” Baldwin said in the interview with CNN. The actor added, referring to the supporters of the former president who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, “1000% percent I’m nervous that a bunch of people who were instructed by the former president to go to the Capitol and they killed a law enforcement officer, they killed somebody....

On the back of using the Nigeria international alongside midfielder Jack Wilshere, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Hector Bellerin against Newcastle on Saturday, the gaffer utilised Joe Willock and substitutes Reiss Nelson, Ben Sheaf and Josh Dasilva in their League Cup win over West Ham United three days later. And Wenger believes that it is their belief in young talents that stand them apart from other big teams. “On Saturday [against Newcastle], we played with four players who have been educated here: Iwobi, Wilshere, Maitland-Niles and Bellerin,” Wenger told club website....

The Murdaugh family’s housekeeper and nanny, Gloria Satterfield, died in February 2018 after tripping over the family dog, a lawyer for her sons told reporters. At the funeral, Murdaugh persuaded Satterfield’s sons to hire Corey Fleming as their lawyer for a wrongful death settlement with his insurance company, the AP said. Murdaugh did not disclose that Fleming was a longtime friend, an old college roommate and godfather to at least one of Murdaugh’s sons....

With his team in desperation mode, and trailing 2-0 in Game 4, the Capitals captain scored two goals to lead his squad to a 3-2 win and the chance to fight another day.

The Chiefs opened up as 2.5-point favorites, and prior to the Smith news, there was a move on the Chiefs Friday morning, which bumped the spread up from -3 to -4 by 8:45 a.m. PT. And then at 9 a.m. PT, the alert came across that Smith would be out, and sports books adjusted down to Chiefs -1. Such line movement is unusual, since key information is almost always obtained first by sharp groups....

The 31-year-old RAW star introduced the doll as she embraced her darker side while teaming up with The Fiend. Lilly the Doll eventually became a prominent part of Bliss’ new gimmick and constantly featured in the former women’s champion’s promos and segments. However, after Bray Wyatt was released from his contract, Bliss underwent a gimmick change, reverting to her old self after several “therapy” sessions. Yet one part of Bliss’ previous gimmick that remains is Lilly....

Since then, Alexa Bliss has become among the most popular WWE superstars today, male or female, and also among the most accomplished female stars in WWE history. With five Women’s Championships to her name and two Tag Team title reigns with Nikki Cross, Alexa Bliss is only in the early phase of what could be a long career. Her recent set of storylines has perhaps been her most important and interesting character-change to date, where she has been slowly aligning with Bray Wyatt....

“We should spend the first part of our response strongly laying out the case for why the organizer’s conduct was immoral, unacceptable, and arguably illegal, in detail, and only then follow with our usual talking points about worker safety,” Zapolsky wrote. “Make him the most interesting part of the story, and if possible make him the face of the entire union/organizing movement.” “If execs are as concerned abt worker health & safety as they claim, then they should provide the full paid sick leave ALL workers deserve....

Ocasio-Cortez, who represents New York’s 14th Congressional District, told The Breakfast Club radio show that she thinks it is “not a good idea” for Bloomberg to try and win the presidency even if he could beat Trump in November. “We obviously have to beat Trump,” she said. “But if we beat Trump and go back to the same policies that we had before, a worse Trump is going to come....
