Pettit, who is co-leader of a five-year project investigating Thwaites’ stability, presented the team’s initial findings at the American Geophysical Union’s ocean science meeting, held in San Diego, California, earlier this week, the magazine reports. Data gathered during the first two years of the project has heightened concerns the glacier could collapse. If this happens it could raise global sea levels by two feet. That is enough to cause “significant problems” for coastal cities, according to NASA....

MORE: Every NBA team’s worst season since 1990 | NBA Mock Draft 3.0 The “Antetokounbros Streetball Event” was played in front of a crowd of 5,000 people at Greece’s largest public high school, according to ESPN.com. The game ended with an auspicious score of 123-123, with no overtime. Porzingis poured in 21 points but the real hero was his teammate, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Giannis’ older brother, who scored 69. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the other team with 64 points....

As important as Davis’ 37 points and 18 rebounds were, his stat line is a representation of the mentality he brought into the game — one he’ll need to carry with him for the remainder of the season. According to Davis, the motivation for his performance came from Lambeau Field. Though Davis is a proud native of Chicago, he’s an avid Packers fan. On Sunday, Davis made it clear that he was fueled by Green Bay’s upset victory over the Cowboys, which resulted in him putting forth a dominant performance against Brooklyn hours later....

All pieces of the equation seemed to point to a Lakers win in New Orleans on Saturday night. Then, the game happened. MORE: Does Magic Johnson really know what he’s doing? Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday scored 27 points, dished out seven assists and snagged three steals to lead New Orleans to a 128-115 victory over Los Angeles. The loss dropped the Lakers below .500 (29-30) and 3.5 games back of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference....

“I believe that mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea,” Fauci said. “This is not something new. We have mandates in many places in schools, particularly public schools, that if in fact you want a child to come in—we’ve done this for decades and decades requiring [vaccines for] polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis. So this would not be something new, requiring vaccinations for children to come to school....

Miller and his British rival have been involved in an ugly war of words ahead of their June 1 heavyweight title bout at Madison Square Garden that will be Joshua’s debut in America. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year Miller, a native New Yorker, suggested that Joshua’s added muscle after turning professional would have been “impossible” without using banned supplements. But Joshua, who will defend his IBF, WBA super and WBO titles against Miller, launched a passionate defense of his lifestyle....

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, told DAZN’s Chris Mannix this week that the former unified heavyweight champion told him his “senses weren’t there” after taking a punch to the side of the head early in the fight. “He doesn’t remember anything, really, from the third round,” Hearn said in an extended interview about the fight that was posted Friday on DAZN’s YouTube channel. “In fact, he’s taken a little bit of positivity that he managed to go four rounds after that....

The Briton will defend his IBF, WBA Super and WBO world heavyweight titles at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday. Join DAZN to watch Joshua vs. Ruiz and 100+ fight nights a year Joshua wanted Wilder, the WBC champion, to be at ringside but the “Bronze Bomber” — who scored a first-round knockout over Dominic Breazeale this month — will not be in attendance. “[He’s] probably busy, he’s just had his fight....

Now we do. Last week White’s team announced that three human skulls had been dated to precisely the same era as African Eve’s, give or take a few millennia. They are by far the oldest known Homo sapiens fossils. The skulls are at first glance indistinguishable from those on our own necks. Their brains are large, in one case bigger than any of ours. By virtue of their age, they effectively demolish “multiregionalism,” a theory by which humans evolved in relatively isolated patches around the globe....

After passing an abortion ban with the last-second addition of exceptions for rape or incest earlier this year, the House ultimately voted not to concur with their colleagues in the South Carolina Senate, even though the Senate bill closely mirrored the language of the legislation the House previously passed in an unrecorded voice vote. Shortly after Tuesday’s vote, House Speaker Murrell Smith tweeted a letter from several anti-abortion groups in the state opposing the bill on the grounds that the inclusion of exceptions for rape and incest as well as a Senate-backed provision covering fetal anomalies only served to weaken an existing six-week ban on abortions that also includes exemptions for rape and incest....

It was recently revealed that, despite his urgings, Antonio Brown is, in fact, unvaccinated and was parading around a phony vaccination card to the Buccaneers and the league. While the league suspended Brown for the offense (they carefully worded his suspension as a “misrepresentation of his vaccination status”), the Bucs might not be done yet: According to Mike Florio of NBC’s Pro Football Talk, Tampa Bay is considering cutting Brown for his transgression....

One of the people interviewed in that story is Dr. Victor Prisk. He took an initial meeting with Brown in August 2018 and says the receiver was three hours late to his appointment. Then, once Brown arrived, he proceeded to fart several times while Prisk was testing Brown’s body fat. “It seemed just childish to me,” Prisk told SI. “I’m a doctor and this man is farting in my face....

The right-hand glove was posted online Sunday night by Lelands Sports Memorabilia and Card Auctions with a starting bid of $81, the same as Brown’s jersey number for the Buccaneers. As of Monday afternoon, the current bid had reached over $800. The auction will end on February 12 at 10 p.m. ET. “The glove is a tangible memento from an iconic NFL moment,” Lelands wrote in the description of the item....

Turner, who has also served as a top campaign aide to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, is competing in a 13-way Democratic primary for the seat, which was previously held by Marcia Fudge. President Joe Biden tapped Fudge as U.S. housing secretary earlier this year. While there are many candidates in the race, the leading contenders appear to be Turner and Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Shontel Brown. “This isn’t about Nina vs any opponent; this is about the people versus big money,” Ocasio-Cortez said, during a campaign event for Turner on Saturday, according to Fox 8....

Sunday’s announcement of college football’s final four will determine the teams playing for the national championship. AP voters believe Ohio State isn’t worthy. Alabama, Florida State and Oregon are in, the voters believe. That follows thinking around the nation that those are the best teams. However, that’s not how the BCS computer rankings sets the field. It has TCU No. 4, according to USA Today. As we have for weeks, observers are left to wonder about the fourth team....

It matters more than you think it does. Everything counts. Now, the Tigers will find out what it’s like to wear a label Alabama has taken on five times since 2010, and it’s only going to turn up the heat between the two schools heading into the 2019 college football season and beyond. We’re not talking about national championships. The Tigers were voted No. 1 for the first time in school history on Monday, another nod to the program’s rise under coach Dabo Swinney....

Now, it seems, all millennial bets are off. In last month’s issue of The Watchtower, the sect’s leaders quietly acknowledged that Jesus was right in the first place, when he said that “no one knows the day or the hour.” All previous references to timetables for Armageddon, the magazine now suggests, were speculation rather than settled doctrine. The year 1914 still marks the beginning of the last days. But those who hoped to witness the battle of Armageddon and the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth will have to wait....

While loyal iPhone users waited in line to get their new phone, Apple CEO Tim Cook greeted customers outside the Palo Alto Apple store. In the midst of handshakes and shameless selfies, one person yelled out “Roll Tide!” Cook, an Auburn grad, didn’t hesitate to counter with “War Eagle!” (Jump to the 35 second mark.) That Alabama fan better be careful or he won’t be getting his iPhone 6 today....

Of course it would be no surprise if anyone from the group of Kansas, Michigan State, Kentucky or Duke were to claim the 2014 NCAA championship and add to its rich basketball history. In order for that to happen, though, even the winners from Tuesday night’s terrific event at the United Center will have to process what they learned and progress from here.
“It’s a big win for us,” coach Tom Izzo said, after No....
