Hamilton, 51, was charged with the murder of the 21-year-old San Francisco Bay Area waitress, according to a statement from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office. On September 24, 1996, Hamilton allegedly drowned Lewis during an attempted rape and burglary of the Four Corners restaurant where she worked as a waitress. A cook at the restaurant found her body in the basement bathroom around 10:30 p.m. and called the police....

But the optimism in Minnesota extends beyond the court. The Timberwolves will make an ownership change in the near future, bringing a sense of excitement to a franchise that has earned postseason berths in just two of the last 18 seasons. Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor welcomed Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez to the organization last year, and the partners have pledged to keep the team in Minnesota and build on a strong foundation....

It also suggests that a healthy diet can increase the recovery from cancer. However, much of the research about nutrition’s impact on cancer is limited and there is no guarantee that your diet can help protect from cancer developing or to help to cure cancer. Therefore, diet recommendations cannot be recommended from research. Here, we will uncover what the research says about specific claims related to nutrition and cancer risk....

In fact, it’s the exact message that the world, and both political parties in America, need to hear. Rushing the effort to drop fossil fuels would cause economic and environmental problems, experts say. Welcome to the complexities of energy markets. “Climate change is already ravaging the world,” the president said during his speech at COP26, the U.N. climate conference in Glasgow. He added, “My Build Back Better framework will make historic investments in clean energy, the most significant investment to deal with the climate crisis that any advanced nation has made ever....

The same cells have continued to grow in a laboratory and are still used to make vaccines today. No additional cells have been harvested from aborted fetuses since then, but the topic is controversial because of where the original cells came from. The vaccines that grow in these fetal cells include: Hepatitis A Rabies (specifically the Imomax rabies vaccine) Rubella (what the “R” stands for in the MMR vaccine) Varicella (chickenpox)...

This fall, we’re doing it again. The goal is to provide employees—and job seekers—accurate information on whether or not workers genuinely love the businesses they’re employed by. The list is also a great resource, we think, for bosses at management-challenged firms that hope to change their ways. Leading up to the October issue, we plan to feature five CEOs whose companies appeared on the inaugural list—and explore what makes them such employee-friendly operations....

The former Red Devils manager has also criticised the club’s transfer dealings, which saw them pay a world record fee for France international Paul Pogba last summer. Time to give Mourinho some credit Docherty has seen Mourinho turn fortunes around at Old Trafford over recent weeks to claim six successive Premier League wins. He is, however, not a fan of the enigmatic Portuguese coach – a man who has revelled in his role as a self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ down the years....

Marik filed a lawsuit in early November after the Norfolk, Virginia, health care system where he works “flatly banned” the use of ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, for treating COVID-19. The drug has become a controversial topic, with some doctors arguing it could save lives despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommending against its use. A judge heard Marik’s case on Thursday, and committed to rendering a decision soon, but warned it likely wouldn’t come before Marik was set to return to work....

Among more than 100,000 patients enrolled in both commercial insurance and Medicare Advantage programs, researchers found that the annual percentage undergoing tapering doubled between 2008 and 2017. In response to the opioid crisis, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a tapering guideline in 2016 that sent a chilling effect throughout the chronic pain community, experts say. It was recently tempered, but not before physicians and hospital networks began removing pain patients from their medication or sending them away entirely....

The American health-care system is on the operating table, and doctors are under the knife. Even though their fees make up only about 20 percent of the nation’s $912 billion health-care tab, critics hold physicians largely responsible for runaway costs. “They are the quarterbacks of the healthcare system,” says Dr. Sidney Wolfe, of Ralph Nader’s Health Research Group, and the system has run amok. The public’s own view is schizophrenic: a NEWSWEEK Poll found that 94 percent of Americans think their own doctor does a good job, and 53 percent said they would pay more to keep seeing the same one....

The alleged incident occurred May 13 when witnesses said Urias shoved a woman later identified as his girlfriend. It was reportedly caught on tape at a mall in Los Angeles, but MLB was unable to obtain a copy of the footage because officials declined to release it, according to ESPN. Police were called after the incident, but both Urias and the woman allegedly said no physical altercation took place. However, witnesses told TMZ that Urias pushed the woman....

But the beloved 87-year-old announcer proved Friday night he still remembers his geometry lessons well. As Pirates reliever Arquimedes Euclides Caminero pitched during the Dodgers 6-2 home victory over Pittsburgh, Scully pondered the meaning of Caminero’s first and middle names.

Had the game not gone on as scheduled, Haren would have had to either pitch to Dodgers hitters in a cage back at their Glendale facility — where the White Sox and Indians were rained out — or he would have had to pitch another day and mess with the schedule of his preparation for the season. "When I got to the field today, I thought there would be no chance," Haren said after Los Angeles' 6-5 defeat....

According to ESPN’s Buster Onley, the Dodgers have signed Anderson to a one-year, $10 million contract with an additional $4 million possible in performance incentives. MORE: Top 10 free-agent pitchers | Should Dodgers dump relievers? | Dodgers add McCarthy to rotation | Marlins might trade Haren The oft-injured pitcher was limited to just eight starts this past season with the Rockies and required surgery in August to repair a bulging disk in his lower back....

Alvarez’s fastball has been clocked at up to 99 mph. According to CBSSports.com, the 19-year-old Alvarez — at 6-3, 175 pounds — is seen as “a very athletic pitcher” who could grow into a top-of-the-rotation starter. He becomes another in a line of Cuban players the Dodgers have signed recently, joining outfielder Yasiel Puig, third baseman/outfielder Alex Guerrero, infielder Hector Olivera and pitcher Pablo Fernandez.

Look for a spate of new and highly specialized foreign-index funds to hit the market later this year from Vanguard, Barclays and others. But index mania may be imaginary, warns Chicago research firm Morningstar. When it comes to foreign stock markets, funds that have active, judicious and worldly managers almost always perform better than the indexes.

You wonder whether Clinton and his advisers have any sense of history. The president wants to be seen focusing “like a laser” on the economy, and maybe a stimulus plan conveys the desired image. But it’s a bad idea for four reasons: (1) it isn’t needed; (2) even if it were, it might not work; (3) if it does work-or is seen by the public to work-it would create a bad precedent for future policy, and (4) it distracts from what should be Clinton’s main focus, reducing the budget deficit....

But that didn’t address the real succession issue: does Bashar have what it takes to rule? Clearly, Bashar doesn’t exude the uncompromising power that made the stooped figure of his father so feared and respected. He’s a thoughtful fellow with a pinched mouth and soft manner, who wasn’t even his dad’s first choice as heir. (Assad had originally tapped his eldest son, Basel, a charismatic military officer who died in a car crash on a foggy Damascus road in 1994....

This year, 91 countries will be taking part in the games, with 1,581 men and 1,290 women taking part, the most gender-balanced games in history. Over two weeks, athletes will be competing in skiing, snowboarding, curling, bobsled, and ice skating to name a few of the sports in freezing cold temperatures—but does Beijing actually have any snow? Newsweek has everything you need to know about the snow at the games and where exactly the venues are located....
