Seriously, has their even been a pair of pugilists who have shared the ring space that these two have without actually throwing fists? Last weekend’s offering focused heavily on Khan’s next step and although his North England rival was only yards away, the 2004 Olympic silver medalist made everyone aware that the focus of his immediate desires is modern legend, Manny Pacquiao. Where this leaves a potential confrontation between the long-lasting rivals is anyone’s guess....

It wouldn’t be a Khan fight without a little bit of drama, though, as the Brit had to pull himself off the canvas in the second round. The fight, which was streamed on DAZN’s Facebook page, showed Khan’s speed and technical advantages to be too much for the lumbering Vargas (29-4) to handle. Khan started off fast and repeatedly beat Vargas to the punch. In the second round, Khan launched a vicious combination and sank his opponent with a right hand; however, in true Khan fashion, he left himself open....

Those injury woes continued on Sunday, when talented pass-catcher Amon-Ra St. Brown was forced to leave Detroit’s Week 7 clash against Dallas after appearing to sustain a blow to the head. St. Brown took the hit late in the first quarter after gaining a few yards on a screen play. St. Brown was slow to get up, but jogged off the field on his own accord. He was then taken to the medical tent, where he underwent further evaluation....

On Thursday, President Donald Trump threatened on Twitter that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” after Minneapolis saw a fourth day of violent protests and riots. Klobuchar replied on Friday, writing on Twitter: “Our community is hurting. Hurting for justice & charges for George Floyd. Vandalism must stop. But we need systemic reform. Like a full scale DOJ pattern/practice investigation of Mpls. Police like I’ve called for.” Klobuchar has been vocal about seeking justice for Floyd....

Federal Election Commission records show that Fairstein donated $1,000 to Klobuchar’s campaign committee in March 2019, her only contribution in the 2020 primary race to date. In response to a request for comment about the donation, a campaign spokesperson provided Newsweek the following statement: “The campaign shouldn’t have accepted this contribution and we’re returning it.” The Guardian first reported the contribution. Fairstein has drawn renewed scrutiny for her role in the prosecution of five teenagers—four African American and one Hispanic—for the brutal rape of a Central Park jogger in 1989....

Appearing before hundreds of supporters in Duluth, Minnesota on Wednesday night, Trump said: “If I lose Minnesota, I’m never coming back. I don’t care—I’m never coming back.” Rally-goers laughed at the president’s remarks, but the Democratic National Committee sought to capitalize on the comments, posting footage of the statement and pointing voters to party’s voter registration website. Reacting to the president’s remarks on Thursday morning, Senator Klobuchar simply tweeted: “Goodbye....

Former Jeopardy! champ Schneider took the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Pride Day at San Francisco’s Oracle Park, ahead of the San Francisco Giants facing off against rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, her big moment was not aired by the broadcaster, which instead showed NASCAR driver Kurt Busch making a ceremonial toss—which he did at the same venue on Thursday, ahead of the hosts’ game against the Colorado Rockies....

Schumer returned to SNL to host for the third time at the weekend, and made a couple of eyebrow-raising jokes, including a reference to the upcoming “midterm abortions.” A reference to Ye’s recent alleged antisemitic comments got a laugh from the studio audience on Saturday, but others have expressed fury online. Schumer was talking about Autism Spectrum Disorder, which was previously known as Aspergers. “But then they found out, and this is true that Dr....

My semester abroad would be more than simply exporting Wesleyan University to another dot on the globe. It would be a chance to quit philosophizing and see the world in action, a chance to run from the experienced and instead experience myself. “Send me an e-mail, stay in touch,” my friends said as I hugged them goodbye. “It’ll only be a few months, what can happen?” I left for Cape Town on Sept....

On the surface, the new House majority leader seems like a Gingrich clone. Like Gingrich, Armey, 54, is a former academic, holding a doctorate in economics and having taught at North Texas State University. (He wrote a textbook on price theory and counts free-market philosophers Adam Smith and Ludvig von Mises as his intellectual heroes.) Armey, too, is on his second marriage, and, like Gingrich, he came to the public eye with heated rhetoric and creative publicity stunts....

If it were only that easy. The risk is that central banks may delude themselves into thinking that the successes of the last 25 years on the inflation front are traceable to a rules-based monetary policy. The European Central Bank, for instance, is the world’s leading inflation targeter. America’s Federal Reserve has no such explicit mandate. Yet the Fed now wants to turn itself into the ECB. Newly appointed chairman Ben Bernanke was one of academia’s leading inflation targeters....

Since the initial emotional shock, Americans have grappled with the meaning of the event, and by 2008, a staggering number had yet to find one. In my view, this unsuccessful quest stripped away Americans’ confidence in the fundamental tenets of their collective identity — notably their belief in America’s special right to hold global power. That translated into the hyper-militarization of U.S. foreign policy, the denial of U.S. international decline and a conflicted sense of moral injury....

Since her run to the French Open semifinals, world No. 7 Ivanovic has only won four WTA Tour-level matches, and her defeat at the hands of Cibulkova is another major disappointment. MORE: Top images from the National Tennis Center | Serena’s U.S. Open championships Ivanovic’s first-round Grand Slam exit is her second of 2015 after suffering the same fate at the Australian Open. She was a second-round loser at Wimbledon....

unknown intruder use a modem to worm his way into the computer in the Del Mar, Calif., beach house of computer expert Tsutomu Shimomura. The hacker “spoofs” his way past security locks on Shimomura’s networked database and makes off with hundreds of documents and software programs. Shimomura, according to The New York Times, later reconstructs the attack, and finds out that the hacker directed the assault from a remotely commandeered computer in Chicago....

De Gea is the world’s best The Bundesliga champion is on a three-game winless streak after defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and Bundesliga draws with Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt. As a result pressure has begun to build on the Ancelotti, but the Italian sees no reason to panic just yet. “I have to stay true to myself. Of course, sometimes I have to be more strict than in other situations, but I am not going to punish the players,” Ancelotti told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League encounter with PSV....

The study, published in Nature Astronomy, presents findings from Japanese Hayabusa2, a mission conducted in 2019 by Japanese state space agency JAXA to retrieve samples from the asteroid Ryugu. The spacecraft returned to Earth in 2020 after extracting 5 grams of particles from the asteroid. Scientists keep a close eye on Ryugu, which is about half a mile wide, because it is a potential danger to Earth. A team of researchers from the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology found that the particles from the asteroid are like no other....

Workers made the find while installing fiber optic cables below Via Di Bartolo in the city of Gela for the company Open Fiber, according to the Sicilian regional government. Open Fiber’s in-house archaeologist Gianluca Calà said that the section of the Greek necropolis likely dates back to between the 7th and 6th century B.C. Calà—who was on call during the installation work—said excavations had uncovered a ceramic water jug which contained the bones of newborn baby, as well as the skeleton of a large animal....

The find, described as “unique,” was discovered at an archaeological site in Lolland, Denmark’s fourth-largest island, amid several other objects forged from organic material like wood and bone—including a T-shaped antler ax. The ring is broken but “otherwise perfectly preserved,” say researchers writing in Royal Society Open Science. The object is 2.4 centimeters (0.95 inches) in diameter, making it large enough to fit a man’s finger. It is finely polished and contains only “microscopic” scratches, while the inside still displays traces of the original carving....

That stocks in Japan were wildly overvalued and due for a fall is hardly news. Nor are projections that the Japanese economy will grow anemically this year, if at all. Of central concern now is the feeling that the Nikkei’s fall may represent a watershed in Japan’s business history. Increasingly, analysts believe the market decline could trigger profound changes in the way Japan does business, changes that could undermine the cornerstones of the country’s economic miracle: stable shareholding arrangements that secure “patient” capital for companies to invest; strategic emphasis on market share and not profits; lifetime employment for employees, and complete disdain for “shareholder rights....
