But that won't happen, and now Corbin's entire 2014 season appears to be in jeopardy. The 24-year-old Corbin says he has a partially torn ligament in his left elbow that may require season-ending Tommy John surgery. Corbin says he is getting a second opinion with noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews before deciding whether to try to rehab the injury or have surgery. He says he has a partial tear in the ulnar collateral ligament....
Vitale broke the news in an essay for ESPN, saying the cancer was detected early, much like the melanoma he beat in late August. He said doctors told him they don’t believe the two diagnoses are related. DeCOURCY: Dick Vitale has millions of reasons to continue sometimes-painful battle against pediatric cancer “For the second time in just a few months, I’ve been diagnosed with a form of cancer,” Vitale wrote....
Google and Nexis, the aids I lean on to compensate for my drained brain (even as they worsen the condition by flushing still more unprocessed trivia through it), show that the first available reference to newsheimers was on the CBS morning show 14 years ago. In a bit of incredibly pointless time-filling blather, Connie Chung was trying to remember when she took a Florida vacation, but the date just wouldn’t come back to her....
The winning numbers were 12, 21, 22, 30 and 33, while the Powerball was 24 and the Power Play was 4x. The latest round saw no winners of the top prize, but three lucky ticket holders matched the five white balls, winning them each the second prize, valued at $1 million. Of these winners, one purchased the Power Play option for $1, which raised their second prize earnings to $2 million....
However, the big question is whether anyone took home the jackpot, which would have been an incredible gift for Thanksgiving. The jackpot was worth $160 million, with a cash-value option worth $115.6 million. The winning numbers were 19, 25, 43, 46, 48 with a Powerball number of 14. The Power Play was 2x. Did Anyone Win the Powerball Jackpot? Unfortunately, no one took home the main jackpot on November 10....
But the process of trying to relocate the 2022 World Cup has been equally as messy. FIFA President Sepp Blatter has admitted that awarding Qatar the World Cup was a mistake, but switching venues is not exactly an easy thing to do. WORLD CUP: Brazil vs. Croatia photos | Hottest WAGs | Golden Ball contenders | Golden Boot contenders | Potential breakout stars | Best players absent Shortly after Brazil defeated Croatia 3-1 in the first opening game of the 2014 World Cup, ESPN's Jorge Ramos reported that FIFA had contacted U....
When racial profiling became an issue in the war against terrorism, I–an avowed liberal–found myself wondering what I would do if I saw someone who appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent behaving in a way that could be considered “suspicious.” A few months ago I stopped wondering. A plane my 16-year-old son and I were scheduled to board was swapped with another because of mechanical problems. Although I was relieved to know we were boarding an aircraft that checked out, I still felt uneasy about flying because of the “shoe bomber” incident three days earlier....
In a letter inviting stakeholders to participate in the program, ICE Chicago Field Office Director Robert Guadian said the six-week course, which is expected to launch in September, would be the “first of its kind” and would serve as a “pilot for nationwide implementation.” Included in the program’s training, he said, would be “scenario-based training and exercises” on “defensive tactics, firearms familiarization and targeted arrests.” While the course focused on ERO might be the “first of its kind,” according to ICE’s website, the agency’s first Citizens Academy was piloted in 2012 under the Obama administration....
You ask, Ed who? Is he some special teams guy who missed a block or something? No, Ed Thorp was not even at Minnesota’s wild-card playoff game at TCF Bank Stadium. MORE: NFL wild-card lessons learned | Laces in: Blair Walsh’s 27-yard missed field goal dooms Vikings Thorp missed the game because he has been dead for more than 80 years.

On Thursday, Garland appointed Robert Hur to serve as the special counsel overseeing the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into classified documents found in Biden’s possession. Twice this week, the White House revealed that Obama-era records were discovered—the first batch at a think-tank office formerly used by Biden and the second in the garage at his Delaware residence. While the discovery of the documents—and the revelations that they were found in November and December—have prompted fresh criticism of Biden and federal law enforcement agencies, the decision to appoint a special counsel has elevated the situation to another level....
The great Dutchman inspired and paved the way for a generation of top tier dartists from his country and across continental Europe after his maiden world title victory at the 1998 BDO World Championship. After several major title triumphs in the British Darts Organisation system, Van Barneveld made his high-profile switch to the Professional Darts Corporation circuit in 2006. He achieved big accolades in his debut season – including winning the world championship – and was able to compete with career rival Phil Taylor on a regular basis....
The World Cup changes careers. Yedlin went from longshot to make the U.S. roster to impact substitute in Brazil to Premier League target in less than three months. That fast. He was a promising right back with limited experience as the 2014 MLS season began. After it ends, he’ll be headed off to play in the sport’s most popular domestic league. He did not start for the U.S. in any of its World Cup games, but Yedlin made enough of an impression to intrigue scouts from a club with UEFA Champions League ambition....
SPORTING NEWS: The 1981 players’ strike, which you chronicle in great detail, has been overshadowed in the popular imagination by the 1994-95 strike, I think. But you argue the ‘81 strike “saved baseball.” Why was it so important? MORE: Book chronicles 1976 baseball season JEFF KATZ: The 1981 strike was the first mid-season strike in sports history and, as such, deserves extra attention. After the players were granted free agency by an arbitrator’s decision in December of 1975, salaries skyrocketed....
Daylight saving time officially came to an end at 2 a.m. Sunday, putting most of the country back into standard time. For most, the shift automatically occurred on their smartphone, meaning that when they woke up this morning they had the accurate time. But the change also means a difference in the time gap between parts of the country. All but two states, Hawaii and Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), observe daylight saving time....
During his time with the San Diego Zoo’s program, Diego sired multiple progeny. He’s believed to be the father of 40 percent of the 2,000 tortoises on Santa Cruz Island. “He’s contributed a large percentage to the lineage that we are returning to Española,” Jorge Carrion, the director of the Galapagos National Parks, told France24. That was a far cry from life on Española in the mid-1960s. Back then, only twelve female tortoises and two male tortoises of Diego’s subspecies—chelonoidis hoodensis—existed on the island....
The striker will play no part in the Blues’ visit to Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday after disputing the extent of an injury with the club’s medical staff. Chelsea silent on Costa bust-up claims Conte became involved in the argument and has subsequently decided Costa will not be involved in the match at the King Power Stadium. Costa is also understood to have received a huge offer from China - with reports claiming the salary package is worth £30 million a year - which he has in turn leveraged against Chelsea in order to land improved terms to his current deal....
The supply crunch is particularly severe in the East Coast, according to analysts who previously talked to Newsweek. Mansfield Energy, a major fuel supply and logistics company based in Georgia and operating in every U.S. state, wrote in a recent news release that the “East Coast fuel markets are facing diesel supply constraints due to market economics and tight inventories.” According to the fuel supply company, extremely high diesel prices—which have surged due to low inventories combined with high demand—are concentrated in the North East, while supply outages are currently hitting the Southeast....
Large acne pimples and boils can look very similar. They are both swollen, painful lumps with white heads. They are both filled with thick, yellowish fluid. Acne pimples and boils are not the same, though. They have different causes and treatments. This means you need to know which one you have before you can treat it. This article describes some of the differences between pimples and boils, and how they should be treated....
Cortical or Subcortical? While some physicians don’t use these classifications of cortical or subcortical often, others find some value in categorizing the types of dementia into these groups based on the initial primary location of damage in the brain. Whichever area of the brain (cortical or subcortical) that is affected will typically demonstrate more physical changes initially, such as atrophy (shrinkage). However, as dementia progresses, the symptoms and effects of both classifications of dementia begin to affect multiple areas of the brain....
In order to better understand the human lifespan, let’s dive a little deeper into the concept and its important distinctions from other commonly used terms. Human Life Span vs. Human Life Expectancy The term lifespan is most commonly confused with another important concept: life expectancy. While both terms relate to the number of living years, they actually define very different concepts. While the term lifespan refers to the maximum number of years an individual can live, life expectancy refers to an estimate or an average number of years a person can expect to live....
