“The bottom line is that counties should not be rejecting valid mail ballot applications,” Nan Tolson, communications operations manager and spokesperson for Abbott, told Newsweek. The upcoming primary is the first major election held in Texas since Senate Bill 1 was signed into law. The Republican-backed legislation requires that the ID used by voters who send mail-in ballots matches their voter registration record. Since many voters registered decades ago in some cases, many applying for a mail-in ballot reportedly don’t remember what ID they originally used....

It turns out the collapse of NCAA basketball did not have Luka Garza-style stamina. Only seven days after the Wall Street Journal published an article about the decision of top-10 wing prospect Jalen Green’s decision to accept $500,000 from the league to train and play exhibition games next winter, Brown declined a similar deal and instead chose to join the Longhorns.

Sporting visit the Wanda Metropolitano in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday, with both clubs looking to salvage continental campaigns stunted by Champions League group-stage exits. Jesus’ side finished third in a tough Group D topped by Barcelona, although the use of man-marking tactics proved effective in keeping Messi scoreless over two meetings. However, the Sporting boss is adamant that approach would prove ineffective against the in-form Griezmann, who has netted 10 goals in his last seven club appearances....

The Grizzlies will pursue a trade for the 35-year-old wing, according to the Daily Memphian. Memphis originally wanted Iguodala to report to training camp next week, but the two parties have now come to an agreement that won’t require him to do so. Instead, Iguodala will work out at a separate location while the Grizzlies test the trade market. “We’ll see,” Iguodala told NBC Sports on Monday. “OK, maybe I shouldn’t say we’ll see....

The Grizzlies led just twice in the game. Mike Conley sank a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left to give them a 109-108 lead, then after two free throws by DeMarcus Cousins, Lee sank the game-winner.. Lee got off his shot with three-tenths of a second remaining, which is the least amount of time a player has to attempt a shot, according to NBA rules. The play is ironic, of sorts, considering Lee missed virtually the same shot in Game 2 of the 2009 NBA Finals as a member of the Magic....

title: “Growing Pains” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-26” author: “Amina Ellis” “Anywhere”–adapted from the terrific Mona Simpson novel–is a touching but melancholy variation on a tune we’ve heard many times. It’s about how a mother and daughter can love and hate each other in the same instant, about how often children end up raising their parents, about what a lousy place L.A. is to be poor. (In this, the movie recalls the far quirkier “The Slums of Beverly Hills....

In 2023, women will control $81 trillion in wealth—40 percent of the global total. This all-time high is set to grow over the coming decades as women stand to inherit as much as 70 percent of intergenerational wealth transfer. As women’s economic power grows, hopefully so will the donations to causes supporting women and girls. Women approach charitable giving in a way that is fundamentally different from men. Women are more generous with their wealth, prioritize different causes, and generally approach philanthropy through creative, empathetic, and high-impact giving strategies that put more trust in beneficiaries and prioritize collective decision-making....

City are among a host of clubs who have been linked to Netherlands international Van Dijk, with their return of three clean sheets from 17 Premier League matches and the ongoing injury struggles of captain Vincent Kompany adding weight to the argument that Guardiola could look to bolster the heart of his defence next month. But speaking ahead of the Boxing Day clash with basement boys Hull City, the former Barcelona boss insisted he will not be in close proximity to Van Dijk until his side travel to St Mary’s Stadium in April....

City ruthlessly cast aside expected title rivals Tottenham in a 4-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with Raheem Sterling on the scoresheet twice after goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne.

A remarkable opening to the 2017-18 campaign has seen City surge to the top of the Premier league table, while also progressing in the Champions League and Carabao Cup. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Napoli have been unable to derail the Blues bandwagon, with confidence now so high around the Etihad Stadium that there is feeling they can overcome any opponent, any time, any place. Guardiola told reporters ahead of a home date with struggling West Ham: “With the confidence, our players believe they can do it until the end....

City have charged 13 points clear atop the Premier League after winning 18 of 19 games while scoring 60 goals. While their high-energy, attacking style has impressed this season, it may have an impact – including during the busy Christmas period – but Guardiola has no concerns. “Fatigue, I don’t think so. It may happen but we’ve a good enough squad,” the Spaniard told UK newspapers. “Gabriel [Jesus] didn’t play against Bournemouth – he played 120 minutes against Leicester and he’s the biggest fighter in high pressing I’ve seen in my life....

City missed two penalties either side of Romelu Lukaku’s goal against the run of play at the Etihad Stadium, with substitute Nolito salvaging a point for the hosts by heading home the equalizer on his 30th birthday.
