Before the start of Thursday night’s high school girls basketball game between Norman and Midwest City, the announcer could be heard on a live stream calling Norman players a racial slur after seeing them kneel during the national anthem, a popular method of protesting racial injustice. “They’re kneeling? F—ing n—,” said the announcer, who couldn’t be seen on camera. “I hope Norman gets their ass kicked. … F— them. I hope they lose....

In fact, it’s rather imperfect, but luckily there’s more than one way to play a hole. Just ask Scarsdale (N.Y.) High School golfer James Nicholas, who made an inventive shot out of an undesirable position in the first round of the New York State High School Championship on Sunday.

The Frenchman is currently taking in his fifth season at Emirates Stadium. ‘Why won’t Wenger get Griezmann?’ He has found the target on 94 occasions so far, with the 2015-16 campaign proving to be his most productive to date. Giroud netted 24 times in all competitions last season, having previously posted returns of 19, 22 and 17. Reaching his century is now a top target for the 30-year-old frontman, who hopes hitting that landmark will make others more respectful of his strike rate in English football....

New questions have surfaced about why Kerik’s nomination was withdrawn less than a week after it was announced. The White House said a “nanny problem” killed Kerik’s nomination because Homeland Secretary is the nation’s top immigration law enforcer. But nonpublic law-enforcement records obtained by NEWSWEEK suggest that Kerik was worried about other issues: around the time of his nomination, Kerik spoke by phone with two people with whom he had a potentially embarrassing history....

He can make a case for getting in, and it’s a good one. MORE: Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2016 So far, though, he has never made the semifinalist cut, much less finalist....

This year’s BAFTAs seemed to be all about confused identity. In the run-up to the ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House, stories abounded in the British press that this year the ceremony might be mistaken for the Oscars, since it looked likely that the world’s most prestigious awards ceremony might not be happening due to the writers’ strike. Rumors that Hollywood’s A-list-Clooney, Jolie, Pitt, Roberts-might be basking in an award season glow in London had everyone aflutter....

Multiple news outlets—including The New York Times, Fox News and CNN—first reported the news Thursday afternoon. Clark was reportedly a key figure in Trump’s effort to pressure top prosecutors to support the former president’s discredited claims about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. The reason for the raid on the conservative lawyer’s home was unclear. However, it came just one day before the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot, as well as Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, was set to hold a hearing about his efforts to pressure the Justice Department to comply with his plot....

On Monday, alleged shooter Christopher Darnell Jones was confirmed by campus police to be apprehended, following a manhunt that began Sunday evening when the shootings in a school parking garage were originally reported. University of Virginia President Jim Ryan said Monday that the three students fatally shot were UVA football players Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry.

As of Tuesday night, Youngkin has received 44.8 percent of the county’s votes. His Democratic opponent, former governor Terry McAuliffe, has received 54.7 percent. Thus far, 99 percent of the county’s voting precincts have submitted their ballot counts. Youngkin put education at the core of his campaign. He made “parents matter” a campaign slogan and promised to back parents in their disputes with educators. The Loudoun County school incident, in which a girl was allegedly assaulted by a boy in the girls’ bathroom in May, was a lightning rod in Youngkin’s campaign....

Youngkin appeared on Fox News on Sunday night to discuss McAuliffe’s hiring of Elias, who previously served as general counsel for Hillary Clinton. The lawyer has worked on a number of cases where Democrats have sought to overturn election results and he has helped challenge Republican-backed restrictions on voting in states such as Texas. In December 2020, Elias worked with Democratic candidate Rita Hart as she attempted to get a recount in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District after she lost to GOP Rep....

That’s a sentimental title. It came from Brooks Robinson, who said, “The owners weren’t very smart. We would have played for nothing.” I wondered about the title because, of course, in some sense it’s not true. But it does get at the generational difference. We’re all looking back at what was considered to be a rosy time in baseball. It was never what we think it was. Why are these oral histories so important?...

What the group has done so far is put out a bunch of press releases announcing agreements with various groups around the world and put the New Japan Pro Wrestling Wrestle Kingdom 9 show on pay-per-view in the United States earlier this year....

Many of the best economists are no cheerier. Jim Walker, the highly regarded “Austrian school” thinker for CLSA, the Asia-focused brokerage house, looks for growth to slow precipitately in China and America, while much of the rest of the world slips into recession, resulting in substantial earnings disappointments. Treasury bond yields could fall toward 3 percent, he predicts, and stocks will drop. David Malpass, an economist for Bear Stearns, anticipates just the opposite–sorta....

By pushing for the renewable energy goal faster than anticipated, the company wants to avoid producing 1 million metric tons of carbon emissions that would have been produced between 2025 and 2030. “We know climate action is a priority and every company must push itself to decarbonize further and faster,” chief sustainability officer Kristen Siemen said in a press release. “That’s what we are doing by aiming to achieve 100 percent renewable energy five years earlier in the U....

In 2021, multiple reports of battery fires led GM to issue a massive recall for any Bolt EV made since the start of production in 2017. The cost of replacing the batteries made by its partner LG Energy Solution was estimated to cost $2 billion.

Starting today, Americans can expect to see the new ads rollout in a national television campaign that doesn’t mention the recall....
