The Vikings stunned the football world on Sunday when Kirk Cousins connected with Kyle Rudolph for a 4-yard goal-line fade in the end zone, giving Minnesota the 26-20 overtime victory in New Orleans. But it wouldn’t be Saints playoff football if it didn’t come with a little controversy. Rudolph, matched up with cornerback P.J. Williams, appeared to extend his arm, giving him some breathing room to make the game-sealing catch....

However, the two-time African Player of the Year who scored 10 goals in 14 league games for the Phoenix Rising Soccer Complex outfit last season has now been handed a major role in the Ligue 1 side who will play in the Caf Champions League next year after finishing second in the Ivorian top-flight for the 2016-17 season....

Knowing what these titles and their underlying credentials mean will help you make smart decisions about whether or not these providers can help you. Naturopathic Physician or Doctor Naturopathic doctors or naturopathic medical doctors earn ND or NMD degrees from a naturopathic medical school. Both names and abbreviations mean the same thing, but the individual selects the title based on educational institution, state practiced in, or personal preference. They study all the basic medical coursework a medical doctor (MD) would study, plus the more “natural” sciences including nutrition, botanical medicine (herbals), and mental health studies like psychology or counseling....

Every year, a million tourists make their way to this already much put-upon World Heritage site in Wiltshire, about 75 miles southwest of London. As long ago as the Bronze Age, graffiti artists hacked images of daggers and axes onto some of the stones. In the 17th century, the famous British architect Christopher Wren chiseled his surname onto a pillar in elegant lettering; others weren’t so careful when leaving their marks....

What’s a song-squirt? It’s the first, and currently the only, application of the wireless connectivity built into every Zune. Squirting is a tune-sharing feature that works like this: with built-in Wi-Fi, your Zune can alert you to every other Zune within 10 meters, to which you can then send a song (or a podcast or a photo). If the potential recipient accepts the tune, in 10 or 15 seconds it’s in his or her Zune....

On April 23, Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) was knocked out in six rounds by WBC champion Tyson Fury before a record U.K. crowd of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. Fury was in terrific form, and the 35-year-old Whyte was unable to cope with his countryman’s mobility, speed, and sharp shooting. Franklin (21-0, 14 KOs) turned professional in 2015 and dutifully completed his learning curve in the paid ranks. However, managerial issues forced the Michigan native to endure a two-and-a-half-year layoff, which ended in May when Franklin stopped Rodney Moore in the fifth round of a stay-busy bout....

NEWSWEEK: When Jim McGreevey gave his “gay American” speech and you stood next to him with that pained smile on your face, the thing everyone wanted to know was “what is going through her mind?” What was? Dina Matos McGreevey: Well, you know, it wasn’t a smile. It was my attempt to keep it together and not fall apart in front of the cameras. I was literally in shock and in a fog....

The idea sounded ridiculous, but everyone understood when they learned that, because of daily attacks on the Zone, the jacket they were being forced to wear into the Blue Star Café simply to eat a sweet-and-sour chicken or smoke from a shisha pipe had to be lined with Kevlar or steel plates. OK, wearing body armor and a combat helmet to dinner can’t be classified as normal, though I have to admit the khaki-colored flak jacket my dinner companion brought did match the dust in the air and camouflage paint on the Iraqi Army helicopters buzzing overhead....

First came the soundbite everyone quoted: “I’ll believe it when I see it.” But underlying that quip was a far more skeptical view about the very notion of a ceasefire. “The true test for Hamas and terrorist organizations is the complete dismantlement of their terrorist networks, their capacity to blow up the peace process,” he said. “It’s one thing to make a verbal agreement. But in order for there to be peace in the Middle East, we must see organizations such as Hamas dismantled, and then we’ll have peace....

The pop superstar rose to fame on the network playing Cat Valentine in both Victorious and Sam & Cat, created by Dan Schneider, but looking back, fans say that the then-teenager was “sexualized and infantilized” in the role. In McCurdy’s book, titled I’m Glad My Mom Died, she details ​​the abuse she suffered at the hands of her late mother and the now 30-year-old also included allegations of on-set exploitation by Nickelodeon and a figure she refers to as “The Creator....

When Disney announced plans for the $850 million park a year ago, it was counting on the nation’s unconditional love. “I expected to be taken around on people’s shoulders,” CEO Michael Eisner complained to The Washington Post in June. The plan did rai se cheers from politicians, developers and citizens who saw a bonanza of jobs and revenue. The state approved $163 million in incentives, and regulators gave Disney a big nod just two weeks ago....

The proliferation of calculators in the classroom amazes me. The students I tutor tell me regularly that their teachers allow unlimited access to this tool. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics actively encourages its use. Recently I attended a math seminar where the instructor casually stated that teachers, once reluctant to permit calculators in the classroom, had crossed this hurdle. Now ““everyone’’ agrees on their importance, she said. The more I hear from the education establishment about the benefits of these devices in schools, the less surprised I am when middle-and high-school students who have difficulty with arithmetic call for tutoring in algebra and geometry....

When Metropolitan Opera star Frederica von Stade performs, her audience basks in the glory of a great mezzosoprano. Her talent appears uniquely personal: beginning somewhere around her diaphragm and ending in an outstretched arm. Her former husband, Peter Elkus, disagrees, saying that as her voice coach during their 17-year marriage, he helped her achieve stardom. Last week a New York appeals court backed him up, saying his contributions to his wife’s career must be compensated in a divorce settlement....

Matt Siegel is the host of “Matty in the Morning” on Boston’s Kiss 108 FM, the city’s most popular show. He walked off set during a broadcast on Wednesday after saying his boss had told him to stop talking about Lovato’s announcement. Siegel was back on the air Thursday morning, however, and told listeners that he “snapped” when he was told by station management that he shouldn’t discuss the singer any further....

Health Benefits DMAE is hypothesized to increase the production of acetylcholine (a chemical that helps nerve cells transmit signals). Since acetylcholine plays a key role in many brain functions, such as learning and memory, proponents claim that taking DMAE in supplement form may boost brain health by raising acetylcholine levels. Drugs that raise acetylcholine levels have been used to treat Alzheimer’s disease, so some studies have looked at DMAE as a potential Alzheimer’s treatment....

“This was cold, heartless and vicious,” Judge William Tully told Purdie, mentioning that he thought the case was “about as close to a first-degree murder case that you can come” without a first-degree murder verdict, according to PennLive.com. Purdie was convicted for the murder of his girlfriend’s mother, whose body was discovered in a 2019 fire. A jury convicted him of the crimes in November after a previous trial where jurors failed to reach an agreement on a verdict....
