In his recent interaction with MMA journalist James Lynch, Cruz weighed in on the possible results of Askren’s upcoming bout. He said Askren’s ability to grow stronger in the later stages of the fight may help the former UFC and Bellator star win the fight. Cruz believes all Askren has to do to possibly beat Paul is stretch the fight into the later rounds. Dominick Cruz then compared the endurance of professional boxers with Paul’s....

In the comics, Riri Williams is a young engineering genius who designs her own version of the Iron Man suit after she gets accepted into MIT.

There are many different kinds of inhalers. Some are used once or twice a day to manage COPD and prevent acute exacerbations (attacks). Others are used as needed when an exacerbation occurs. As a result, most people with COPD use several different inhalers as part of the treatment plan. This article describes some of the concerns related to the use of different inhaler medications. It also lists the inhalers that should not be used together as well as several that may be OK....

But it was worse than that; Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal was also a threat to every American’s domestic security. By short-circuiting the verification process and distributing blank, printable visas, the Biden State Department set the stage for the entry into the United States of at least 100,000 Afghan refugees, many of them unvetted. More than 70,000 of these refugees—without identification, or with background checks that are either incomplete or impossible to verify with any certainty—transited through Qatar, the Islamist Gulf emirate and Taliban strategic outpost that had spent years maneuvering itself into a place of influence in Democratic administrations....

First, any orthopedist will tell you there is no more temperamental and unpredictable injury than a shoulder problem. And second — and most important — the guy Ohio State is paying more than $4 million a year has a strong track record of moving forward and beyond injuries.

The movie’s noble aspirations are clear–Bosnia and Rwanda were obviously on the filmmakers’ minds–yet it’s hopelessly steeped in stale Hollywood action conventions. Director Antoine Fuqua, who did well with “Training Day,” flip-flops here between slaughter and solemnity, and his unvarying adagio pace only gives the cliches more time to expose themselves. And just now “Tears of the Sun” plays shamelessly into the hands of the Iraq war hawks, down to the on-screen Edmund Burke quote that ends the film: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing....

Temple was just doing what has earned him a five-year NBA career out of LSU — hustling. He sprinted down the court to attempt a chase-down block on the soon-to-be back-to-back NBA MVP. MORE: Classic Steph Curry photos | Every playoff team’s worst nightmare It all started when Curry didn’t get the call after he thought he was hit upside the head by all-star John Wall. Curry made sure he went up strong the next time he got a fast-break opportunity, and Temple got victimized....

Trump withdrew his endorsement of Brooks while arguing that the congressman had gone “woke” as he was trailing in polls, several months after he urged Republican voters to put a focus on the ex-president’s false claims of a “stolen” 2020 election “behind” them during a Trump rally. Although Brooks trailed Britt in last month’s GOP primary, both candidates advanced to a runoff election set for June 21. Brooks has denounced Britt’s candidacy, citing support from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as evidence that she does not fit the “MAGA” agenda, while recently begging for Trump to endorse him again....

“I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you gotta do what you gotta do, but I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good,” he said, drawing boos from the crowd of supporters. “That’s okay, that’s alright,” Trump continued, brushing off the disapproval. “But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. But it is working. You do have your freedoms, you have to maintain that....

Presidential physician Sean P. Conley’s memo describes Trump as “having made substantial progress since diagnosis,” and reports that he is conducting business from the presidential suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Conley also confirmed that Trump had taken his second dose of Remdesivir and is not receiving supplemental oxygen. “While not yet out of the woods, the team remains cautiously optimistic. The plan for tomorrow is to continue observation in between doses of Remdesivir, closely monitoring his clinical status while fully supporting his conduct of Presidential duties,” Conley wrote....

The latest Morning Consult poll found that 58 percent of Republicans said they would get a vaccine after Trump’s intervention—the same proportion who said they’d get a shot before he sought to ease skepticism. Republicans voters were also more likely to be wary of getting a COVID-19 vaccine than Democrats and independents. More than eight in ten Democrats said they would get a shot, while 62 percent of independents said the same....

So far, the White House has refused to comply with subpoenas and document requests from the House committees that fall under the umbrella of an impeachment inquiry and requested that others both inside and outside the administration do the same. Many are cooperating anyway. Even after the House vote on Thursday, Trump is holding firm on his position, telling the Washington Examiner that he does not intend to work with the impeachment inquiry or honor any of its requests: “You are setting a terrible precedent for other presidents....

The former president claimed he has spent “millions of dollars” on the Blue Monster golf course at Trump National Doral in Miami. As part of the expansion, Trump said he will also be applying for 2,300 units of luxury housing, retail, and commercial space in the first phase of construction at the Trump National Doral. “Incredible what has been created,” Trump said. “This is perhaps the most exciting development in the Country—and the Blue Monster course, coupled with the Red, Gold, and Silver, are setting records!...

Speaking at the conservative Value Voters Conference on Saturday evening, the president told the crowd his approval rating was at 94 percent, lamenting that there were still those within the Republican Party who did not support him. “I am at 94 percent approval rating, but still you have people out there who don’t get it, they don’t get it,” he said, also suggesting that the Republican Party did not stick together as well as the Democrats....

The Associated Press and the national television networks called the election for President-elect Joe Biden on Saturday, after the results showed that he had surpassed the 270 electoral votes required to claim victory. Trump has baselessly claimed Biden won by widespread voter fraud and refused to concede. His campaign plans to file legal challenges in several states, including in Pennsylvania. Although Toomey did not fully admit that Biden had won the election, he suggested that the challenges in his state would not be enough to change the results....

The Dubs smoked LA in Oakland 121-104 in their first meeting of the season, and it wasn’t that close. Golden State led by as many as 29. Clippers coach Doc Rivers made sure to remind his club that That. Just. Happened. “I saw a beautiful game from one team,” Rivers told reporters, per The Associated Press. “(The Warriors) are a better team right now and by a lot.” The Warriors, who have developed a nasty rivalry with the Clips, are 4-0 under new coach Steve Kerr....

Onyekachi Nwabuko, 44, was arrested on Wednesday after his colleagues at UF Health Leesburg Hospital described the alleged striking incident. The victim, a hospital director, two registered nurses and an emergency room technician said in testimony seen by CBS affiliate WKMG that Nwabuko battered the patient on three different occasions. According to the network, a staff member told police that a common practice to determine whether a patient is conscious or not is to drop their hand over their face....

It’s easy to be nostalgic for Steven Moffat’s time as Doctor Who showrunner after his successor, Chris Chibnall, proved wildly unpopular among fans of the series. But it’s important to remember that the Moffat era was one of high highs and low lows, and Matt Smith’s career as the Doctor contained plenty of both. And despite a strong beginning to his tale, the Eleventh Doctor’s story wound up going downhill all too quickly....

Per Fox’s postgame broadcast, Turner tested positive for COVID-19 and was pulled midgame after being made aware of the result. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reported that Turner’s tests weren’t a question of a false positive, with tests coming back positive and conclusive before the game. There were no immediate reports if Turner was the sole positive test.

Players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Franck Ribery and Manuel Neuer have tried to break the duopoly, but without success. Messi and Ronaldo still remain favourites, but would Neymar be a more deserving winner, this time around? Performances in the latter half of 2015 suggest he should run them close, at the very least. A case for Neymar Neymar has shown impressive form for most of the calendar year, but his true ability has come to the fore in the latter half of 2015, unsurprisingly with Messi out injured....
