All of them were on the move before Wednesday’s MLB trade deadline. None of them went to the Yankees. It might be a little unfair to put it that way. There are always extenuating circumstances surrounding trades: asking prices, no-trade clauses, money changing hands and more. But the Yankees have swung and missed on a lot of opportunities in the past few years, seemingly as often as their major league lineup has at pitches in games....

Picking a perfect bracket is close to impossible. Even picking a perfect first round is nearly impossible. The odds of a perfect bracket is more than 1-in-9 quintillion (based on a coin flip). The odds of just a perfect first round is more than 1-in-4 billion (also coin flip). In other words, there’s a chance that if everyone on Earth filled out a bracket, probably only one or two people would have a perfect first round....

“They used the vacuum bomb today,” Markarova told reporters after speaking with members of the U.S. Congress one Monday. “The devastation that Russia is trying to inflict on Ukraine is large.” There has been no official, independent confirmation that thermobaric weapons have been used by Russia against Ukraine, but CNN reported one of its teams saw a Russian thermobaric rocket launcher near the Ukrainian border on Saturday. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have also stated Russian forces appeared to have used the controversial weapon, and Amnesty accused the invading troops of using banned closer munitions during an attack that hit a preschool with civilians inside....

But a large study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that this popular supplement may not protect them from bone fractures at all. Previous results from the same dataset, consisting of 25,871 participants in a randomized and controlled VITAL trial, also showed that vitamin D supplements had no impact on the risk of various cancers or heart disease. They also did not reduce migraine or slow cognitive decline, according to other VITAL studies....

Their match against Monaco on Sunday at Parc des Princes might not have been the blockbuster affair it was cracked up to be, but the slow burner was given a punch by a dramatic conclusion. Monaco strike late to deny PSG Edinson Cavani’s penalty barely 10 minutes from time seemed to have ensured the points would stay in the capital until Bernardo Silva’s stoppage-time drive, which caught out the flat-footed Alphonse Areola, denied them....

Foster, 29, suffered a torn Achilles last season and played in only four games, gaining 163 yards on 63 carries for a measly 2.6 yards per carry. MORE: Best undrafted free agents in NFL history | NFL Mock Draft 2016 Foster was set to make $6.5 million in 2016, but Texans GM Rick Smith said the decision to cut Foster wouldn’t hinge on money. “As it relates to all the free agent conversations, I’m never really going to tell you one way or the other what we are doing, but I will tell you this: his salary is not a reason why we would cut Arian,” Smith told reporters at last week’s Combine....

Following a 2016-17 campaign, during which the Wildcats went 32-5, captured a Pac-12 tournament title and reached the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in five seasons, they returned all-conference guard Allonzo Trier, were set to welcome freshman center DeAndre Ayton, a near lock to be a top five pick in next year’s NBA Draft.

“I trust our election system, there is integrity in our election system,” Ducey said during an appearance on The Mike Broomhead Show on KTAR News. “Joe Biden did win Arizona.” As of Tuesday afternoon, the ballot count showed Biden leading Trump by 10,457 votes.

The state was called on Election Day by the Associated Press and Fox News....

Arizona’s state Senate Republicans, led by President Karen Fann, hired Cyber Ninjas to conduct the widely criticized audit in the spring due to former President Donald Trump’s groundless claims that the 2020 election was “rigged” in favor of President Joe Biden. Cyber Ninjas’ was set to release its report on the months-long audit of Maricopa County’s ballots—which had previously been reviewed in a non-partisan process—on Monday. However, the report has been delayed because the company’s CEO and two others tested positive for COVID-19....

As Sewald turned into the hit-by-pitch, he pinned the ball against his back with his right arm, then casually threw the ball back to Bruner like it was no big deal. But the best part is the announcer, who we think may be Duffman from The Simpsons. MLB DRAFT 2015: Mock draft; who will be picked No. 1? Play of the week.

Hutchinson’s veto of the Arkansas anti-trans bill last week came as a surprise to many activists and lawmakers. But the conservative governor described the legislation as “a vast government overreach,” noting that he vetoed the bill after discussing the issue with medical providers, parents and transgender minors receiving treatment. However, the GOP-controlled Legislature promptly overrode Hutchinson’s veto, making Arkansas the first state to ban gender-reaffirming treatment. “This bill was overbroad....

Michael Davis, the former officer, shot Brittain in June of 2021, when Davis stopped his truck and told him to show his hands. Brittain reached to the back of the vehicle, which Davis testified looked “100 percent like he was reaching for a rifle,” KARK-TV reported. It was one of about 100 police shootings in Arkansas since 2015, according to the Washington Post’s police shooting database. Though the majority of police shooting victims are young men, shootings of those under age 19 are less common, according to the data....

Hutchinson joined two-dozen other governors, primarily made up of Republicans, who say businesses are reporting worker shortages as they try to reopen after 15 months of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Through President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan passed earlier this year, supplemental unemployment benefits are still set to be funded through September 6. But 25 states, including Arkansas, are rejecting those benefits within the next few weeks prior to early July....

The Washington Football Team has narrowed its list of potential options for a new name to three choices, the team announced in its latest YouTube video, Making the Brand.

The options were: Presidents, Brigade, RedHogs, Washington Football Team, Commanders, Armada, Defenders, RedWolves....

Forget. Ralph Lauren and Liz Claiborne. On Main Street U.S.A., the most lucrative names in retailing these days read as much like TV Guide as Women’s Wear Daily.

Almost 20 years after 9/11 brought the threat of jihadist extremism to American cities and televisions screens, the domestic landscape has changed significantly. A study by the Anti-Defamation League found that, of the extremist-related murders of 2019, a full 90 percent were connected to “right-wing extremists.” And as FBI director Christopher Wray recently stated before the House Judiciary Committee, racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists make up a “huge chunk” of the FBI’s domestic terrorism investigations and the majority of those attacks are “fueled by some type of white supremacy....

According to a Glastonbury Police Department arrest log obtained by Newsweek, the student, 18-year-old Hollister Tryon, was arrested on two counts of computer crime in the third degree. Investigators said he is accused of “unlawfully accessing” a computer database where students go to input items into the yearbook, such as their senior quotes. Tryon, who was at the time a student at Glastonbury High School, allegedly edited an unsuspecting student’s senior quote to say “It is a quite special secret pleasure how the people around us fail to realize what is really happening to them,” which is a quote from Hitler, but was falsely attributed by the student to George Floyd, the man murdered by Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020....
