Campbell, who played 10 seasons in the NFL, inherits a 1-3 team that just dumped its coach of four years and is coming off a loss to the Jets in London. It’s also a team that has talent, but hasn’t found a way to make the most of that this season.

Until now, peace has been maintained through that trusty diplomatic midwife of strategic ambiguity. The core element in that ambiguity has been the tribute paid to the political fiction of “One China.” The People’s Republic of China insists there is one China and that Taiwan is part of it. It has always said it would use force if Taiwan declared independence. In March it went further and declared in a white paper that it reserved the right to use force if Taiwan delayed talks leading to unification indefinitely....

Geologists and paleontologists at California State University, Chico, which has partnered with the district to excavate, identify, preserve and store the fossils, anticipate that conducting a complete inventory could take years. But they’re thrilled at the prospect of building on existing knowledge of prehistoric North America. While walking last July through the Mokelumne River watershed, a drainage basin in the Sierra Nevada foothills that provides water to 1.4 million Bay Area residents, Greg Francek noticed a petrified tree protruding from the mud....

MORE: Week 16 NFL Power Rankings The fourth-round pick would be after any compensatory picks at the end of the round, but will be no more than 12 spots lower from where the Giants would finish in the draft order for that round....

Weatherford has an incredible body and goes through a crazy gym regimen to keep it that way. During an interview for ESPN, the 31-year-old punter was the feature of story where even fellow Giants teammates pegged him as the player with the best body in the NFL. Weatherford is so strong he can even bench press people . . . somewhat.

Hillis will be needed to backup Brandon Jacobs right away in the 0-6 Giants' Week 7 Monday night home game against Minnesota. That's because both David Wilson (neck) and Andre Brown (leg) remain on the shelf, and Da'Rel Scott (hamstrung) is no longer a reserve option. Hillis, who played for the Kansas City Chiefs last season, was cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in September after being active for just one game this season....

The Buccaneers need a win just to re-establish themselves as the team to beat (and repeat) in the NFC....

Gimenez went down awkwardly after a collision with Wales midfielder Andy King and initially received pitch-side treatment, before then opting not to return to the action. His inability to continue will have caused concern at Atletico, for whom Gimenez has played 32 times in all competitions this term. But a statement from the Uruguay camp later on Monday confirmed that further investigations have ruled out damage to Gimenez’s ankle bone....
