One of the longtime sticking points of the Hall of Fame is inducting players still in the prime of their careers. Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson each won major championships after they were inducted. Vijay Singh won the FedEx Cup two years after his induction. Currently, male players are eligible for the ballot when they turn 40. The LPGA Tour has its own criteria based on points. Se Ri Pak was inducted at age 30....
The gunfire erupted at about 9.30 p.m. on Monday night, as people gathered at the corner of California Avenue and Polk Street in the city’s Garfield Park neighborhood, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said during a news briefing. Brown initially said that 14 people were shot, but police revised the number to 13 in a statement early on Tuesday. The victims were transported to hospitals in conditions ranging from non-life-threatening to critical, Brown said....
Over a 10-day period in May, Hamas shot approximately 4,500 missiles, rockets and mortars at Israel, targeting its population centers from the Gaza border to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. In response, Israel targeted Gaza’s missile stores, launch sites, communications hubs and subterranean military infrastructure. According to Hamas, Israel Defense Forces bombings caused a bit less than half a billion dollars in damage. So if the pledges for assistance are honored, Hamas will not only cover its losses—it will be rewarded for its aggression....
Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades said Wednesday in a message seen by Newsweek that they were “directing a rocket strike involving 15 rockets for Dimona,” which houses Israel’s secretive nuclear site. Rocket warning sirens could be heard there as well as in a number of areas across Israel’s Negev region and further north including the cities of Ashkelon and Tel Aviv. As hundreds of rockets were launched by Al-Qassam Brigades and fellow Gaza-based forces like Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Al-Quds Brigade, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said the results of the attack toward Dimona were unknown....
Kate Wise, who lives in Round Rock, Texas, is now recovering in an intensive care unit (ICU) and considers herself blessed to be alive, as reported by KHOU. Wise said that on Sunday she applied an off-brand hand sanitizer to protect against COVID-19, before then trying to light some incense. “Because of the hand sanitizer, it just lit my whole… everywhere I had hand sanitizer on my hand, it just lit my hand with fire....
According to the FDA, large quantities of methanol exposure can result in a coma, seizures, permanent blindness, permanent damage to the central nervous system or death. “Although all persons using these products on their hands are at risk, young children who accidentally ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk for methanol poisoning,” the FDA warned. The Medically Minded hand sanitizers in question have lot numbers E212020 & E082020 and a Best Buy date of 5/21/2022, according to the company....
This year it is notable that the four serious Democratic presidential candidates from Congress–Sens. John Edwards, John Kerry and Joseph Lieberman and Rep. Dick Gephardt–are making smaller waves so far than a governor of a small state (Howard Dean of Vermont) and a general from a small war (Wesley Clark, conqueror, from the air, of Serbia). Who can explain all this? Christopher DeMuth, that’s who. He is head of the American Enterprise Institute, and author of a soon to be published (in the January-February American Enterprise) essay “Governors (and Generals) Rule....
But women’s gymnastics these days is a sport that is not kind to its senior citizens, which is to say anyone who has celebrated a sweet 16. Miller, at 19, has kept the girlish shape that’s essential to perform the complex flips and other winning tricks that excite the sport’s judges. But the accumulated pounding of years on the bars and beams has begun to take its toll. She hasn’t been completely healthy – nor has she finished a major competition – since botching a routine at the national championships last summer....
The Chinese tend to celebrate it over 15 days, as it is the most important time of the lunar calendar. Each year is named after one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, including the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Each animal has its own meaning, and people are known to have their own personality traits depending on which animal matches their year of birth....

Take some lessons! Anderson has shared dozens of photos with her and her beau on Instagram. Here's a sampling of the photo ops.

As is the case with other holidays, Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate those people who make life special, whether that be friends, family or a significant other. Valentine’s Day has been celebrated on February 14 for centuries but despite its date on the calendar never changing, sometimes people need a bit of help for last-minute inspiration. Some might be surprised at how far the simple yet traditional, “Happy Valentine’s Day!...
The unlimited potential that both Harper and Puig possess has been well-documented, and at times, on full display. The solid, if not strong, production from the pair means they are better reaches than some of the hot-shot rookies and prospects that will be snatched up multiple rounds too early. A reach is a reach, though, and at their current draft locations, fantasy owners are rolling the dice if they're looking to add Harper or Puig to their squads....
Feared British biographer Tom Bower is due to publish his long-anticipated new book about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, on Thursday, July 21. Extracts published in U.K. broadsheet The Times paint a grim picture of the couple, particularly Meghan who is described as the “meanest person” by an advertising shoot director she worked with. Revenge suggests she triggered palace fury with a Vanity Fair interview while a guest editorship of British Vogue, according to the book, descended into a “conflict” about “control....
Leading 28-27 early in the fourth quarter, the Crimson handed it off to running back Devin Darrington, who scored a 27-yard touchdown to help extend the lead. Here’s the problem: Darrington turned to some trailing Yale defenders and flipped them the bird at about the 8-yard line as he scampered into the end zone.

But it’s too soon to say the worst of Omicron is fully behind us. The death rate is still climbing, and in some states, cases are still rising. Cases and Hospitalizations Fall Nationwide Through January 31, average weekly new COVID-19 cases had decreased by about 45% from January 15. The peak came a few days later than it did in 2021, when the then-record-setting daily rolling average of 250,000 cases began to drop after January 11....
Whiteside was a revelation for the Heat last year, becoming a quality starter at the league’s shallowest position on a bargain-basement deal. He drew criticism at times for his maturity, which had kept him out of the league for two years after being drafted 33rd overall in 2010 by the Kings but playing only 19 games in two seasons. But with the Heat, the 7-footer averaged 11.8 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2....
Causes From Medication There are a few reasons your urine could be red following chemotherapy. Often this is just related to the color of the drug, and hence, not a problem. Other times it could be problematic. Let’s talk about these possibilities, and hopefully, ease your mind. Anthracyclines If you’ve received CHOP-R chemotherapy or Adriamycin, the most probable reason for your red urine is the color of the drug (but make sure to keep reading if you also had Cytoxan)....
