It was a serious allegation, but true. It seemed to me, a former Republican speechwriter asked by NEWSWEEK to observe the Democrats, that they were acting just like u&-no brawls, no epithets. Even Jesse Jackson was showing up on time. The delegates, like their nominees, were proper boomers, businesslike and tailored. There was much talk of unity, but what I saw was the pretty homogenized gathering of one of the great parties of an increasingly homogenized country–a country that has been ironed out, no lumps and wrinkles and grass stains, a country in which we are becoming all alike, sophisticated, Gapped, linened and Lancomed....
China’s police are no novices at stifling domestic dissent. What’s new is the focus on international threats, including potential troublemakers among the foreigners who’ve flocked to Beijing in recent years. Declaring terrorism their biggest threat, Chinese officials have studied 37 Olympic incidents, from the Munich massacre (1972) to the U.S.-led boycott of Moscow’s Games (1980) after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. During a recent Beijing visit, FBI head Robert Mueller declared himself “very much impressed” with China’s pre-Games security drive....
Thibaut Courtois’ penalty-kick save and a Michy Batshuayi goal helped Belgium beat Canada in their opener, but the Red Devils were on their heels for the entire match. Even Belgium manager Roberto Martinez admitted that the Canadians were the better side. However, the three points put Belgium in strong position to advance with matches against Morocco and then Croatia to come. But then things really fell apart. First, Morocco turned in a superb performance to win 2-0, and then, with a victory needed, Belgium squandered a host of chances to draw 0-0 with Croatia and drop out of the tournament....
Other camps are fighting back by offering summer programs teaching evolution. In late June, the Unitarian Universalist Church in Fresno, Calif., sponsored the fourth season of Chalice Camp, a science camp that uses song, dance and drama to teach children about scientific discoveries about human origins. This is the inaugural season of Camp Inquiry, a weeklong camp for children 7 to 16 in western New York. For the camp’s Natural History Day, the 25 campers will participate in the “Creationism vs....
Fast-forward to modern-day America. An entire generation of American Muslims, whose parents emigrated here in the 1970s, is coming of age. They’ve been to elite colleges, they’re in the professions and they’re ready to settle down. And so the cycle of hand-wringing over intermarriage begins again. For assimilated Muslim men, intermarriage doesn’t present too big a dilemma because the tradition endorses it. “I’m actually a big proponent of intermarriage,” says Arsalan Iftikhar, national legal director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations....
Hunt was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on November 30 after a video emerged that appeared to show him in a violent altercation with a woman earlier last year. The 23-year-old became a free agent last month. But if he were to sign with the Bears this offseason, Robinson would welcome him on board and believes his team-mates would, too. “From when I met [Hunt] and everything like that, for us to bring him into our locker room, I think guys would welcome him with open arms,” Robinson told the Chicago Sun-Times....
It’s official: Messi-like Dybala is a global superstar A brilliant first-half Paulo Dybala brace put Juve in control in Turin, with a header from Giorgio Chiellini providing the third goal after the interval.

The former Barcelona boss has seen at first hand what the 30-year-old is capable of - and believes that he has benefitted from the Argentine’s talents. Messi 15/4 to be CL top scorer He told ‘The Premier League Show’: “He is the best player ever. Messi is the beauty - he makes managers better, he makes team-mates better. The Argentine is still to finalise the penning of fresh terms at Camp Nou, with his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2018....
WWE was waiting for Becky to explode through the ranks. There was a reason she was part of the first call-ups from NXT to take part in the Divas Revolution. There was a reason she was a part of the WrestleMania 32 match where they eliminated the Divas Championship to usher in the Women’s Championship. There was a reason she was the first SmackDown Live Women’s Champion. She had all the sparks yet the fire did not blaze....
The death toll in the Garden State alone has climbed to 27, as the Category 4 storm wreaked havoc across the Gulf Coast, before ripping through the eastern seaboard. Despite being downgraded to a tropical storm after landfall, it caused severe flash flooding in New York, Connecticut, Philadelphia and New Jersey as Ida traveled northwards. The National Weather Service reported 8.44 inches of rain were dumped on Newark, LaGuardia recorded 6....
That science can be bought is hardly news to anyone who knows about tobacco “scientists.” But how pervasive, effective and stealthy this science-for-hire is—as masterfully documented by David Michaels of George Washington University in his new book, “Doubt Is Their Product: How Industry’s Assault on Science Threatens Your Health”—will shock anyone who still believes that “science” and “integrity” are soulmates. In studies of how toxic chemicals affect human health, Michaels told me, “It’s quite easy to take a positive result [showing harmful effects] and turn it falsely negative....
Each Monday, we’ll discuss the weekend that was with Phill Gray, head of trading for Sports Interaction, breaking down the most notable results and whether they went in favor of the house or the bettors. Week 12 NFL Betting Action Report Public rakes in on Thanksgiving Thursday’s NFL games resulted in the worst day of the NFL season for Sports Interaction.

Michy Batshuayi scored the only goal of the game in the 16th minute of the fixture. The 28-year-old latched onto a header following a great cross by Youri Tielemans to find the back of the net. Belgium ramped up their pace in search of a second close to the half-time mark but the hosts managed to stay afloat. Things did not change much following the restart as Belgium continued to dominate the proceedings....

He can afford to be brash. Genzyme earned $19.6 million on sales of $122 million last year-and analysts expect sales to double this year. Along with superstar Amgen, Genzyme is one of the few generally profitable companies in the 1,200-firm industry. (One-time expenses from acquisitions, though, will push it into the red for much of this year.) And while a market rumor concerning competitors for Genzyme’s upcoming products drove shares down by nearly 5 percent last Thursday, the company i....

Messi’s magic is expected at Barca’s famous home and it was there in abundance again as the Argentine hit an amazing poker to surpass 300 goals at the stadium for the Catalan club. And Paulinho, on his first start for the Blaugrana, was also on target in an effective display. Barcelona 17/20 to win La Liga Eibar pressed persistently in the first half and gave Barca plenty to think about, Valverde’s side needing a penalty from Messi won by Nelson Semedo to open the scoring, before Paulinho made it two when he headed home a corner....
