Cole definitely got the better of Donaldson: He struck out the Twins’ third basemen twice, retiring him three times in six innings of two-run ball....

Welcome to LambdaMOO, which is not a real place at all but a virtual place in cyberspace. More precisely, it is an address on the Internet. Linked to that address is a computer in Palo Alto, Calif., containing millions of lines of text and computer codes. Most of its inhabitants, who are actually spread from Ohio to Manila, have never met in real life. Their lives in LambdaMOO consist of sitting alone at their computer screens, typing at a furious clip....
Australia’s United Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt criticised Kyrgios for his ’lack of communication’, while social media was awash with anger at another Kyrgios failure to represent his nation, with the Canberran having not played Davis Cup since 2019. Now that the 27-year-old has withdrawn from Adelaide International 2 - which was his primary warm-up tournament for the Australian Open - it’s clear he is suffering a significant injury and wasn’t just avoiding playing for Australia....
The London critical response to Fiennes ranged from the Sunday Times’s “hugely accomplished” to the Daily Telegraph’s “major disappointment.” But all treated Fiennes as an actor with a solid classical background, a former member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. The spectrum of response reflects the play itself, still the most familiar and most enigmatic product of the Western dramatic imagination. For Orson Welles, Hamlet was “an authentic tragic hero who ....

In fact, the causes of the price jump are far more innocent. First, a long, cold winter drove up oil usage unexpectedly. At the same time, on-again, off-again talks over whether the United Nations will allow Iraq back into the market prompted oil traders to wait until the last moment before buying. Expecting a steep drop in wholesale prices, they bid them up when the talks failed on April 24....

In this, if in little else, the Natural Law Party is very much in the mainstream. The British public has taken against genetically modified crops in a big way. Activists uproot them and supermarkets attempt not to furnish their customers with them. This week the Prince of Wales–a landowner and organic farmer–came out against them for the umpteenth time, a piece of nonnews that still managed to provoke headlines throughout the realm....

It involves ovulation (egg release), sex with the penis in (or near) the vagina, ejaculation of sperm, fertilization of the egg, and implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus, after which pregnancy symptoms will start to develop. Fertilization happens when an egg and a sperm cell (spermatozoon) unite to form a single cell....
The filmmakers may have taken precautions, but the raw, exhilarating “Fight Club” could still blow up in their faces. The movie, based on a Chuck Palahniuk novel, will open on Oct. 15.

At a time when Hollywood is being criticized for violence–a time when Warner Bros....
Or, use a lens spray and wipe the lenses clean with a microfiber cloth. You don’t need to clean your glasses every day—just whenever you notice they’re dirty. Blurry or distorted vision is especially common with bifocal lenses. Since you have to look through the lens at a specific spot in order to see clearly, peering through the wrong spot in your glasses can cause blurriness. Dizziness is especially common with progressive lenses....
The bout is the first of Golovkin’s new three-year, six-fight deal he signed with the streaming company in March and the first step on his path back to champion status after losing to Canelo Alvarez in September 2018. Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KOs) lost his WBA and WBC titles in Alvarez’s narrow decision victory that snapped “GGG’s” 39-match unbeaten streak. A win over Rolls will likely set up a title rematch with Alvarez later this year after the Mexican title fighter successfully defended his belts in May versus Daniel Jacobs....

Stanton’s main problems have been his health and his inconsistency at the plate; fans grow frustrated during his cold spells and feel like he’s an automatic strikeout at times. But they sure do love him when he’s hot — and, boy, is he hot right now. Stanton came up clutch yet again this postseason in Monday’s ALDS Game 1 against the Rays in San Diego. Stanton launched a grand slam in the top of the ninth to give the Yankees breathing room in an eventual 9-3 win....
For a player in the running to win his second straight NBA MVP honor, such an exit would leave a stain on his otherwise sterling reputation. He shot 7 of 21 in Game 3 — including an 0-for-7 mark from deep — and watched Jimmy Butler put up more points than his entire team in the final period (17-13). Antetokounmpo, so often the darling of social media for his style of play, received a hefty dose of criticism for his latest showing....
Lucy Giles, 45, thought her beloved dog Brody was initially just craving some attention, but swiftly after discovering a lump in her armpit she was diagnosed with Her2-positive breast cancer. The animal-lover had welcomed the 150-pound Newfoundland giant into her life in July 2021 after her partner Ashley, 62, had spent six months in the hospital on a life-support machine with COVID-19.
