“I am so happy for Carmelo Anthony. He was about to suffer the most humiliating end to a perennial All-Star’s career we’ve ever seen,” Bayless said. First reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Blazers’ addition of Anthony comes after a rocky road of free-agency bouncing through a number of different teams, which Bayless alluded to in his comment. Anthony’s path to the Trail Blazers started before the 2017 season, when he requested a trade after spending six years with the New York Knicks....

But in an upset, upstart FS1 topped the list with eight awards compared to rivals NBC (seven), ESPN and HBO (five) and CBS (four).

Kurzawa has suffered a knee injury during training at Clairefontaine on Monday and, despite intensive treatment, has been unable to recover in time to face Bulgaria and Belarus in World Cup qualifying. France 17/2 to beat Bulgaria 4-0 As a result, Didier Deschamps has turned to Amavi, who is on loan at Marseille from Aston Villa. The 23-year-old is yet to play for Les Bleus at senior level, but was previously a regular at youth levels, including with the Under-21 side....

Franchitti, who also sustained a concussion, was transported by ambulance to a hospital. IndyCar said the four-time series champion would be held overnight, and that a series official was treated for minor injuries. Houston Fire Department spokesman Ruy Lozano said 13 fans were injured, and that 11 were treated on site at Reliant Park. Lozano said two were taken to the hospital for treatment. The accident in Turn 5 was reminiscent of Dan Wheldon's fatal 2011 crash at Las Vegas in that competitors had to drive through the wreckage....

Let me remind you of a young man named Jameis Winston, who despite innocence declared by the state attorney in Florida, still handles with questions about the "problem" or "incident" or "situation" he had to deal with this season. In other words, just because you've never been charged — or in Franklin's case, connected to someone who has been charged — of sexual battery, it doesn't mean your name isn't stained forever....

It's the second time that Davis has received a drug-related ban in his career. Back in 2011, when he was named Redskins' offensive player of the year, he was suspended for the final four games of the season for repeatedly failing drug tests. Since then, the now 28-year-old pass-catcher has battled through injuries and hasn't been able to stay on the field. He missed more than half of the 2012 season after tearing his Achilles' tendon in Week 7....

Since the beginning of a nationwide lockdown to combat the spread of the virus, NHS staff had been allowed to park for free. Health Secretary Matt Hancock had announced on March 25 that the government would be covering the costs of car parking for NHS staff after more than 400,000 people signed a petition calling for the charges to be scrapped during the pandemic. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London, for example, charges a £77 daily fee to park at its A&E department....

First, I want to say, my deepest sympathies and compassion for Mr. Rushdie. I hope that he recovers soon what happened to him is absolutely horrific. And I think the ripple effect is obvious. The deterrent effect on freedom of speech when it comes to criticizing theology — specifically, Islamist terrorism — because you might get physically attacked, you might get assaulted, or you might be murdered. And obviously Salman Rushdie is not the first or the last person to have had a fatwa against him....

Rather than organizing a defense, Sanger sat down and wrote a pamphlet called “Family Limitation,” which analyzed in detail all the chief methods of contraception in use at that time. Then she left for England. Once her ship was safely at sea, she cabled a friend back home, who quickly distributed 100,000 copies of the pamphlet. Thousands more circulated for the next two decades. Eventually the charges were dropped, but Sanger was arrested again in 1916–this time for operating a birth-control clinic–and briefly jailed....

Well, here we are, one July 4 later. We have our crisis and our cause. We no longer need to read about heroes in history books; we have watched the firefighters and policemen of New York City court death to save strangers. We have heard the stories of the brave men and women of Flight 93. We have seen soldiers in Afghanistan risking their lives to rid us of danger....

In speaking with Washingtonian’s senior editor Marisa Kashino and food editor Jessica Sidman, both unsurprisingly expressed their gratitude for working at the magazine. For writers and journalists alike, creating content for major publications for a living is a dream come true. Sidman described working at Washingtonian magazine as her “dream job in many ways.” Writers and journalists are highly specialized workers, and good ones are few and far between. Even if you’re a good writer or journalist, breaking into the editorial world is notoriously difficult....

“At some point, when we will have done our maximum to help Ukraine resist — when, as is my wish, it will have won and the firing has ceased — we will have to negotiate,” Macron said, as reported in The New York Times. “The president of Ukraine and its leaders will have to negotiate with Russia,” he added, “and we Europeans will be around that table, bringing security guarantees....

Childress suffered what the school’s statement called “an internal injury” in Saturday’s loss to San Jose State and underwent surgery Sunday in Fresno, the Fresno Bee reported. He is the second Bulldogs quarterback knocked out by injury, joining freshman Chason Virgil, out for the year with a broken collarbone.

A Bunko game consists of six rounds. During the first round, players roll for 1s, second round for 2s, and so on. There are four people to a table in teams of two, and the objective is for each team to roll more of that round’s number. Three dice of the appointed number is a Bunko, worth 21 points. As soon as a team from a designated table reaches 21, a team member rings a bell signaling the end of the round....

Ski Slope on a Waste-Energy Plant Copenhagen, Denmark Skiing on top of an urban waste-to-energy power plant sounds right out of a sci-fi film, right? The innovative CopenHill, an artificial ski slope and recreational hiking area designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, takes an area where 600,000 tons of waste gets converted into heat and electricity and tops it off with a bit of fun. First 3D-Printed Neighborhood Tabasco, Mexico...

Rocking around the Christmas tree The biggest winner at Christmas may have been 6-year-old North West. Kim Kardashian-West and husband Kanye West gifted their oldest child with a bit of pop royalty—a custom velvet jacket previously owned by Michael Jackson. However, this wasn’t just any old Jackson jacket North West woke up to on Christmas morning. Jackson wore the piece to Elizabeth Taylor’s 65 birthday party in 1997. The late pop star also rocked the jacket at the screening of his 1996 musical short, Ghosts....

People have more non-alcoholic drink choices than ever, ranging from traditional carbonated beverages to new lines that associate their products with energy, alertness, physical fitness, and hydration. But most consumers do not know if the claims about the products are true. What is true is that sales are skyrocketing. Sports energy drinks are also big business. The global energy drinks market size was valued at $86.3 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 8....
