Durham’s detractors crow that he couldn’t indict a ham sandwich, and disingenuously use this point to drive the narrative there was no “there” there in arguably the greatest scandal in American history. His champions may feel the same, only lamenting rather than cheering that Team Durham couldn’t indict that ham sandwich—considering the bit players he prosecuted—and that, moreover, the special counsel failed to pursue the biggest fish who so gravely betrayed our republican system from within the government itself....

According to WSVN 7 in Miami, “Florida Highway Patrol responded to the scene along the westbound lanes of I-595, between north and south of Interstate 95 around 6:37 a.m., Saturday, after a dump truck crashed into a 24-year-old male pedestrian.” Florida Highway Patrol later confirmed to the Sun Sentinel Haskins was the 24-year-old involved in the accident....

NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport describes it as a “long-term injury.” Freeney was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's home game. He received attention on the field before it was determined he needed further treatment in the locker room. The Chargers, however, have yet to determine whether to put Freeney on season-ending injured reserve. The team has struggled against the pass through the first four games of the season because of its limited 3-4 pass rush under defensive coordinator John Pagano....

They were in absolute awe of Stephen Curry’s Game 4 performance on Friday. A true showcase of his utter brilliance, Curry was simply sensational in Golden State’s 107-97 series-tying victory. He scored 43 points on 14-of-26 shooting (53.8 percent) and went 7-of-14 from behind the arc. Curry also grabbed 10 rebounds, which put him in rarefied air. At 34 years old, Curry joins LeBron James and Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA Finals history to have 40 or more points in an NBA Finals game at age 34 or older....

The effect on the Heat star was clear. On Tuesday, wearing a tribute to Oliver on his shoes… … Wade did this: That bucket proved to be the game-winner for Miami, which is now 3 1/2 games ahead of the Pistons for the eighth seed in the East.

Les Bleus, winners in 1998 and among many people’s favourites to triumph in Russia, will face Australia, Peru and Denmark in Group C. If France, who played Denmark in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, make it to the last 16 they could face Argentina – who scraped their way into the tournament with a Lionel Messi-inspired victory over Ecuador in their final qualifier – depending on how they fare in Group D....

Florio, citing “multiple different people,” said the fourth-year quarterback has discussed the possibility with his Houston teammates. Whether he’s seriously contemplating a trade or merely leveraging his position to ensure he has a say in the Texans’ new coaching hire remains to be seen. Florio’s report was also quickly refuted by John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, who said, “Under no circumstances will the Texans trade Watson.” MORE: O’Brien joins list of Bill Belichick coaching tree failures...

It worked for Cristina Bavasi. The 31-year-old New Yorker yo-yoed on Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig before clicking on an eDiets.com banner last August. She entered her height (5 feet 11), weight (173 pounds) and food preferences (no red meat or poultry). In minutes, she had a daily plan for easy-to-make meals–no running to a diet center for packaged food. In two months, Bavasi dropped 18 pounds. “It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done,” she says....

Wilson’s play turns Geri’s quest into a modern fable of the search for identity and for contact between cultures. This could have been deadly and portentous, and puddles of portent do slop up the going from time to time. But Wilson, a Pulitzer Prize winner for “Talley’s Folly,” knows how to engage an audience while leading it to a real emotional payoff. The meeting between Geri and Lyman is a collision between Bigfoot and Bigmouth: she, desperately seeking Daddy, can’t stop talking....

Despite the jokes, there is tradition in St. Petersburg. Thirty-six thousand people on average have packed Tropicana Field for postseason games. That figure includes a hefty amount of rival-supporting transplants, of course, but it also comprises baseball-loving Rays fans still willing to come out to their run down stadium when it matters most. Even though we won’t see that many natives at the park if the team makes the playoffs in 2019 due to seating capacity changes, the upper-edge of local fervor is apparent....

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced her office’s decision regarding the case on Wednesday, following an extended investigation to which the Michigan State Police, the Detroit Police Department’s homicide task force, and county prosecutor’s office contributed. A public integrity unit at the prosecutor’s office conducted an independent review of the case. “Our finding today is that the officers in this case acted with lawful self-defense of self and others, and thus there will be no charges in this particular case,” said Worthy during a press conference held on Wednesday, coinciding with the release of her office’s decision....

“We all bear some responsibility for this,” Blinken said. “For decades, our member countries measured economic success chiefly in terms of rising GDP (gross domestic product) and stock markets—which don’t reflect the reality of millions of working families. Instead, our unprecedented growth has frequently come with rising inequity. “The data are crystal clear: both the pandemic and the climate crisis are hitting underserved populations in our societies hardest.” Blinken’s plan to attack the problem is establishing a global corporate minimum tax rate that he believes would no longer allow larger corporations to “avoid paying their fair share,” and would help “avoid a self-defeating race to the bottom....

One day, a woman walking her dog asked him why he was rollerblading and he explained he was a professional hockey player. Now, he has two young neighbors helping him stay in hockey form. “She had a young son that played and she’s like, ‘Do you mind if he comes out and passes with you at some point,’” Carrick recounted on a Zoom call with reporters Monday. “I see no harm in that, so the kid came out from 20 yards away or whatever, passed the puck around and his friend that was two doors down so there’s that....

How Does Dexilant Work? Dexilant inhibits the pumps (also called proton pumps) in your stomach that produce stomach acid thus overall reducing the amount of acid that can cause heartburn or reflux. According to studies, Dexilant is also capable of healing previously damaged portions of the esophagus. Dexilant is different than most medications of its kind because, like an extended-release type of medication, one pill releases two separate doses of the medication....

“In my 25 years in this business, never before have I witnessed such irresponsible behavior on so many fronts,” Close said in a statement. “Both the Orioles front office and the media were so busy recklessly spreading rumors that they forgot, or simply chose not to concern themselves with the truth.
