The victories, once hard to imagine, have become increasingly common in this part of the world, on what’s often called the second front in the global War on Terror. Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest nation, has captured more than 400 militants since 2002, hobbled JI and avoided a major bomb attack for nearly two years. Meanwhile, the Philippines has managed to liquidate half the terrorists on Manila’s most-wanted list and drive the Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group from its main bases....

A video of the incident, which has been shared on social media, appears to show a woman running through Manhattan’s Grand Street station before she is confronted by a male suspect who hits her with his feet, hands and an umbrella.

But finally there's good news for baseball's most-hated character. Though Rodriguez indicated he's accepted the reality of sitting out 2014, he now has another option: assistant coach for a summer collegiate baseball league. The Torrington Register-Citizen reports that the Torrington (CT) Titans of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League are offering an assistant coaching position to Rodriguez. General Manager Joey Abis says Rodriguez would make $5000 for the season, as well as free coffee and donuts (which qualifies as the exact opposite of "performance-enhancers") from the Donut Station, a local institution nestled between a Subway and a shop called Cost Cutters....

The drugmaker is seeking a Biologics License Application, which would allow its vaccine to be introduced in general use, rather than taking the fast-track approach for status as emergency-use authorization. The FDA has requested data from clinical trials and real world use of the vaccine from across the globe, which CEO Pascal Soriot said could be easily provided. “We have an enormous amount of data, clinical data and all of the data coming from the work we’ve done around the world,” Soriot said on a conference call with reporters....

The Astros took another step Friday night in their push to make the postseason, beating the Blue Jays 5-3 for their fourth-straight victory. Coming off a doubleheader sweep of the Twins on Thursday in which they scored 25 runs, the Astros bats cooled but got all the offense they needed thanks to 23-year-old right-hander Joe Musgrove.

Reported Missing Brownfield was reported missing on January 10 after her five-year old sister was found, by a postal worker, on the street walking alone near the town of Cyril, Oklahomoa.

The Brazil international has not featured for the Spanish club since suffering a fractured fibula during his side’s 5-1 win over Lokomotiv Moscow in the same competition on March 15. After undergoing surgery, the Brazil international was expected to be sidelined for two months.

Cellphone video footage shows a group of men get out of a car and begin to physically attack the diners, one man appearing to pick up a metal pole and hold it above his head, shouting anti-Jewish slurs....

Born in Britain, Crisp was a fixture in New York’s East Village. He loved America for the way it embraced his flamboyantly gay persona–down to the purple eye shadow. He died in England, about to begin another tour of his one-man show.

The Solar Orbiter passed within 4,967 miles of the planet’s surface on August 9, 2021. In the days leading up to the approach, an instrument aboard the spacecraft known as the Heliospheric Imager—or SoloHI—captured stunning images. In footage taken on August 7 and 8, a glowing Venus enters the frame on the left hand side and gradually moves toward the right, appearing to grow larger as the spacecraft approaches....

The advocacy group found that all four sites are selling The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War, a book which contains white supremacist myths such as the 14th Amendment was “never constitutionally ratified.” The book also argued that the Civil War was unnecessary because slavery was expected to “fade away naturally,” under the Confederacy. The book, written by H.W. Crocker III, was accused of using “cherry-picked research and one-sided judgments of figures” in its arguments by the Harvard Political Review....

I own three small businesses (yes, I am a masochist). My husband Nikola and I own and operate a marketing company that creates photo and video content for businesses and an apparel print shop that provides direct-to-garment apparel printing for businesses and brands. My side hustle, Vintage Voyage, rehabs vintage campers with the help of local artists and offers them for rent. So I have three different insights into the labor and supply chain disruptions....

Now we’re expanding that expertise. Each year, about half of all Americans over the age of 18 will sustain a musculoskeletal injury that lasts longer than three months, and more than a million will undergo surgery to replace a knee or hip joint. Physical therapy can significantly affect recovery–but finding reliable rehabilitation can be a challenge. The Newsweek/Statista rankings of physical rehab facilities will be based on a survey of doctors, health care professionals and administrators....

Velma Scantlebury told Zenger that the black community needs greater awareness about the need for more organ donors among nonwhite Americans. She points to the Minority Organ and Tissue Transplant Education Program, founded in 1991. African-Americans have a more difficult time getting on kidney transplant lists, even though they are more likely to have end-stage renal disease. They trail whites in access to kidney transplants. Scantlebury said her black patients face inequality in health care, poor treatment by some doctors, lack of insurance, late referrals to specialists and a lack of health literacy....

First, however, it is important to make it clear from the outset that I believe it was a huge mistake for the rally outside the White House to have taken place at all. Half a million people gathered in Washington. All of them were convinced that the election had been “stolen.” So it was utterly irresponsible for people like Rudy Giuliani to urge on the crowd by talking about “trial by combat....

“If somebody could be called the mastermind in this plot, in my view it’s Ramzi Yousef,” says James Fox, who was then director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s New York office. The State Department is offering $2 million each for Yousef and another fugitive, Abdul Rahman Yasin. As long as they remain at large, it warns in posters, fliers, even on matchbooks, “more innocent lives could be at risk....

Well, that’s how America conducts important debates in our post-9/11 world. We can’t get to any of the deeper issues confronting the country because we’re too busy arguing about whether we like our mother-in-law. An example: Last week the 9/11 commission finally came to New York to do what it does best–raise important issues of leadership that end up getting bogged down in hurt feelings and political finger-pointing. The main discussion centered on the city’s response to the unfolding disaster on that clear September morning and whether certain well-documented failures resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths....
