Why did you four decide to come forward now? Each of us had been speaking out to his own small audience. But we concluded that each by himself is not loud enough, that the only way to get the attention of the press, the Israeli people and the international audience would be to sit together [and put out the message]. Soon Israel won’t be a democracy or a state for the Jewish people....
For some fans, the fight has come years too late, but it still sold out in under 10 minutes, which goes to show just how big a bout this is. Khan vs. Brook will take place inside Manchester Arena in England. Khan (34-5, 21 KOs) is a former unified light welterweight champion and has wins over Marcos Maidana, Marco Antonio Barrera, Paul Malignaggi and Chris Algieri.

Schumer finally addressed the topic on her Instagram account, calling the ordeal “disturbing” and “sickening.” She complimented her friend Rock while expressing concern for Smith. The Oscars received a ratings boost compared to the 2021 ceremony, but the award winners and performances were largely overshadowed by Smith when he walked onstage and slapped Rock for telling a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith....
Going into the last 10 months before the election, President Donald Trump was basking in low unemployment numbers and, at least on a national level, a booming economy.

Born in New York in 1886, the handsome Russell (who modeled nude for sculpture classes as a student) made his first trip to Europe at the age of 20. The Fauves (“wild beasts”) and their brilliant, emotional colors were all the rage. When he finally settled in Paris on his third trip there in 1909, cubism had taken over as the most advanced style. Russell absorbed them both, taking classes from Matisse and studying the paintings of Francis Picabia and Albert Gleizes....
As a blueprint for a long-term healthy eating pattern, an arthritis diet can be a helpful way to help manage arthritis and its symptoms, especially when used in combination with medication and other lifestyle changes.

O’Hair, who made history and a raft of enemies with her successful 1963 lawsuit to ban prayer in public schools, abruptly vanished from her home in North Austin, Texas, in August 1995. She was 76. Her son Jon Garth Murray, 40, and her adopted daughter, Robin Murray O’Hair, 30, disappeared with her. Investigators discovered that someone had withdrawn nearly $600,000 from the bank account of one of O’Hair’s organizations. That triggered speculation that O’Hair and her children had run off with the money....
A few years ago, Mal Stamper’s game was airplanes, not animal stories. As the developer of the 747 jetliner, the former Boeing vice chairman helped make the world smaller for air travelers. Now he has a loftier goal: to make the world more literate-by introducing a series of children’s books about friendly beasts. After retiring from Boeing two years ago, Stamper, now 67, founded Storytellers Ink, a family-funded publishing venture....
On Tuesday, collaborators helped Israeli agents get to Mansour as well. Tipped off about his whereabouts, Israel sent helicopters to fire three laser-guided missiles through the window of his second-floor office, incinerating Mansour and killing seven other Palestinians, including two children. The weapon was different, but the modus operandi was the same: recruit collaborators from the target’s inner circle, get precise information on his daily whereabouts and his routine, then strike from a safe distance....

Players who could ‘do a Pogba’ The Bayern Munich head coach has achieved the milestone in a little over 21 years as a manager, with number 1000 being brought up in today’s clash with Hamburg in the Bundesliga. The Italian has a hugely impressive CV, with Ancelotti having achieved numerous trophy successes during his time with the likes of AC Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea.

“An ornithomimosaur refers to a particular group of bipedal dinosaurs, most of which are generally ostrich-like in appearance,” Tom Cullen, one of the study’s authors, told Newsweek. “They generally have large eyes, long arms with relatively large clawed hands, long legs, a long tail, and either have small or no teeth…the teeth are absent in later ornithomimosaurs with them having a keratinous beak to assist in processing food.” The bird-like dinosaurs are thought to have existed between 145 million and 66 million years ago and were distributed across the Northern Hemisphere....

He exploded for 27 points (6-for-9 from beyond the arc) in the first half, well on his way to eclipsing his career-high of 34. If that wasn't enough to make Sixers fans hate their former swingman, Iguodala also treated them to this incredible behind-the-back assist. He even teamed up with Steph Curry for this ridiculous half-court alley-oop. [via Bleacher Report]
At least not in my mind based on my experience in the NFL. In fact, a lot of times the sideline spat caught on camera pales in comparison in terms of significance to things that are said after the game or during the week.
