Unlike Colombia, Venezuela refuses to cooperate with the United States to combat narcotics trafficking. The country’s attorney general admits the National Guard and the intelligence service both have ties to drug traffickers, along with civilian airport employees. The border area, which Colombian officials have trouble monitoring due to its difficult terrain, is a “breeding ground for crime and violence,” according to an International Crisis Group report on drug trafficking in Latin America....
It’s called “dry” brushing because you aren’t scrubbing up while you bathe or shower; instead, a firm, bristled brush is swept across the skin, from toe to head. Both the skin and brush are completely dry, apart from perhaps a dab of body oil. This article explains dry brushing practices and practical matters, while also reviewing a few myths about dry brushing. It also explains who should not do dry brushing, due to skin or other health conditions....
The landslides that buried George McGovern in 1972 and Walter Mondale in 1984 are incessantly invoked as the Great Warnings to Democrats determined to go on an ideological toot with Dean. But contemplation of another Democratic disaster, the 1988 Dukakis campaign, actually should temper Republicans’ Dean-induced triumphalism. Dukakis’s campaign lurched from his advice to Iowa farmers (grow endive) to his stance toward the Pledge of Allegiance (he opposed mandating that Massachusetts’s school days begin with it) to his weekend-release program for convicts (it enabled a murderer to commit a rape) to his affectless answers to questions about whether he would favor capital punishment for a person who raped and murdered his wife (gracious, no, we must not “glorify vengeance”) to his bobble-head appearance riding in the tank....
Jackson is projected to be selected in the second round. Grayson Allen’s return to Duke and the potential commitment of five-star point guard Trevon Duval were factors in Jackson’s decision, according to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman. MORE: Jordan Goldwire commits to Duke In his one season with the Blue Devils, Jackson averaged 10.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. He joins teammates Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and Luke Kennard as early entries who have signed with agents for the NBA draft....
There’s no shortage of talent on the court this season, but if we had to pick only five players to represent us on the court in a fantastical, fictional pickup game for the ages, here’s who we’d rock with. MORE: Upperclassmen dominate SN’s second- and third-team All-Americans SN’s college basketball preseason All-Americans First team Jalen Brunson, Villanova, Jr., G Brunson is creeping on a come up. For two years, he laid in the cut while former Villanova stars Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins got the limelight....
Charles Mitchell’s five-foot jump hook with 1.1 seconds left rattled off the rim, helping the Blue Devils beat the Terrapins 69-67 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. "I don't know how Charles' shot didn't go in," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. "Call the Duke gods." Duke’s Amile Jefferson corralled the rebound of Mitchell’s miss, was fouled and then went to the other end to hit the first of two foul shots. He purposely missed the second to force the Terrapins to scramble for the rebound, and it worked....
The game is at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C. Duke (29-6) is trying to extend the farewell tour for legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski to the Sweet 16. The Blue Devils beat No. 15 Cal-State Fullerton 78-61 in the first round Friday. Freshman Paolo Banchero is a double-double machine that leads a talented Duke roster. Michigan State (23-12) advanced to the second round with a 74-73 victory against No....
The Blue Devils and Badgers were announced as part of the 2015 edition of the 2K Classic in November at Madison Square Garden. Granted the lineups will be much different considering Duke’s Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow have declared for the NBA Draft, and Wisconsin will be without Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker.

But it’s an anonymous cool in the United States. Kennedy has toned down the punk look and vows -not to blurt out exactly what I think." (At the ‘88 Olympics, he offended one of his sport’s major backers, 3M, by publicly objecting to a piece of promotional tape an his luge.) He hopes it will be his success that finally puts luge in the U.S. spotlight. Kennedy finished second by a point to Austria’s Markus Prock in this season’s World Cup (he has been known to joke that his improved performance is due to steroids) and is a contender for Olympic gold....
That’s the gimmick of “Chubb’s Antiques Roadshow,” a 13-episode series set to debut in January on PBS. The idea is simple: people in a selected city are invited to lug their bric-a-brac–anything from comic books to Chippendale furniture–to a central location where expert appraisers and camera crews lie in wait. When an appraiser comes across a noteworthy item, a garage-sale vase worth thousands or maybe just something with a good story behind it, owner and appraiser go on camera....
On Monday, authorities called for citizens to rest from violent protests, have patience and a willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccination as infection numbers have increased once again. The government leaders and EU officials announced that Monday that a return to pre-COVID days is still out of the question, and that some of the peaceful protests that turned violent were counterproductive. And for those who turned the protests into violent riots, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte simply called them “idiots....
The former pro-wrestler took to Instagram to share a snap from when he was just 11 years old and had big dreams of entering the ring one day. In the sweet photo, the baby Rock (Pebble?) is all kitted out in his dad’s wrestling gear, from the boots to the championship belt. “A lil’ throwback action to 1983, when I was 11 years old,” he wrote. “I used to LOVE putting on my dad’s wrestling trunks, boots, jacket and championship belts—dreaming of one day becoming a pro wrestling champion....
While he was in mid-flight, he wrapped his arms around a fan who was just trying to tip the ball back in play. No one was injured (though it did look like the man in red in the front row may have caught a knee to the face) and everyone shared a laugh afterward.
The 34-year-old had just three points in one minute on the court as the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the NBA Finals 106-93 to win a first title in a decade. While Howard’s on-court contribution may have been negligible, the eight-time All-Star stole the show after the game. As his Lakers teammates celebrated in the locker room, Howard sat in a corner clutching the NBA trophy and delivered an emotional motivational speech during an Instagram live session, in which he spoke passionately about the importance of pursuing one’s own dreams and the dedication required to do so....
Wade's party was held on a Miami yacht embroidered with his "Way of Wade" along the side, a nod to his Li-Ning basketball shoe. Those aboard the boat for the festivities included Wade's Heat teammates and new fiance Gabrielle Union. One photo out of the day is pretty similar to most Miami Heat gatherings, with a huge crowd of extremely tall guys gawking into the camera. The others show Wade and Union standing in front of the parked boat and, finally, the moving yacht, which is quite staggering....
The 23-year-old took his tally to eight goals in four Serie A games this season as he inspired the champions to a 3-1 win in Reggio Emilia on Sunday. Genoa 14/5 to beat Lazio Dybala has often been likened to Messi and has even been linked with a move to Barcelona to join up with his compatriot with a view to becoming his long-term successor as the Catalans’ number 10....

3 Up Edwin Encarnacion, 1B, Blue Jays. A number of Blue Jays could’ve been in this spot, including Jose Reyes (1-for-4, 3 runs, 2 SBs), Adam Lind (1-for-4, HR, 3 RBIs) or Juan Francisco (3-for-3, HR, 3 runs), but we have to give the most love to Encarnacion, who went yard twice and drove in three runs. It’s been a slow start for E-5, but he’s now up to six HRs and RBIs....
