Cincinnati named Kiel, a former five-star quarterback who transferred from Notre Dame in 2013. Kiel had been a commit to LSU in the recruiting process. “The first few days were a little shaky,” Kiel said in an interview with the Associated Press. “I think I came out anxious and excited. I think that got me to play a little uncomfortable. So at times I have to calm down and relax and play the game I love, not do too much....
Marshall is a regular guest of Carmen DeFalco on Chicago’s ESPN Radio 1000, but took issue with DeFalco’s assertion that the Bears are scared of the wide receiver. When asked to clarify, DeFalco cited Marshall’s now-infamous “unacceptable” locker room rant in October.

The catch? Each of Elliot’s wishes comes with a cruel twist. His dreams of money and power turn him into a death-marked Colombian drug lord, while his desire to be the most sensitive guy in the world finds him weeping uncontrollably at the sight of sunsets. Fraser, suffering from the flu and a broken rib incurred while filming “The Mummy Returns” in Morocco, caught up with NEWSWEEK’s Lorraine Ali in New York to discuss the old adage “Be careful what you wish for....
After the Giants’ 38-35 loss to undefeated Carolina, a game in which Beckham caught the tying touchdown pass with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter, even though he should have been ejected an hour earlier, there was a lot for Beckham to talk about, as his game also included dropping an easy catch that would have been a 52-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He was faced with a simple question about whether things between him and Norman went too far....

A half-century ago, coal supplied almost half the country’s electricity, but it provided only 27.5 percent last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The agency projected earlier this month that the proportion of U.S. electricity fueled by coal will continue declining in the coming years, providing 25 percent of energy in 2019 and 22 percent in 2020. On average, more coal capacity has been retired during each year of Trump’s presidency than during each year of Barack Obama’s tenure....
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. 2022 World Cup kicks off In the inaugural match of the 2022 World Cup, Ecuador shut out Qatar, as the hosts were well-backed as +233 underdogs. While Ecuador’s win went the way of Sports Interaction, the book faces its largest-ever liability on the Canadian Men’s National Team to win the World Cup (125/1 opener, 2000/1 in pre-qualifying)....
The agreement had reached its final stages and both parties were already reviewing their respective press releases when BioNTech pulled the plug in December, Chen Shih-chung told radio host Clara Chou during an interview for Hit FM. BioNTech’s global vaccine distribution is done through American pharmaceutical company Pfizer. It has an exclusive agreement with Shanghai’s Fosun Pharma to sell to the Greater China region, which includes China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, said Chen....
Call him the anti-Rudy. As mayor, New York’s Rudolph Giuliani won great notoriety by cracking down on panhandlers, porn shops and squeegee men as part of a “broken windows” policing strategy. That theory—which soon inspired copycats from Arlington, Virginia, to Florence, Italy—posits that cleaning up disorder, decay and other symptoms of the low life can boost civic pride and revive a limping metropolis. Beijing has the opposite problem. It’s a city on the rise, now frantically preparing for the 2008 Summer Olympics....

World No.2 Belgium are running out time to win silverware with a star-studded squad and will view Qatar as a golden chance to win the tournament for the first time. Canada, on the other hand, are happy just to be here after qualifying for just their second World Cup and first since 1986. Belgium can’t take Canada lightly, however, with their North American opponents riding high after a strong 12 months and chasing history in Qatar....
At the center of this controversy is the humanist chaplain of Harvard University, a 30-year-old “secular rabbi” named Greg Epstein. In March, in remarks to the Associated Press, Epstein called the popular writers Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins “atheist fundamentalists.” He accused the best-selling authors—he now includes Christopher Hitchens among them—of being more interested in polemics, in tearing down and waging war on religion than in doing anything positive; his own responsibility, he says, is to speak out for the positive aspects of disbelief....
In a smaller version of the outrage and skepticism that preceded the opening of “The Passion of the Christ”–is it historically accurate? is it anti-Semitic?–scholars who study the ancient Maya are concerned that Gibson’s film will distort the great civilization and demean its descendents, six million of whom still live in Central America. Yes, the Maya sacrificed humans to the gods, but these rituals were part of a complex worldview: the Maya believed that their bodies, their blood, were created by the gods and that they occasionally needed to repay this debt with human life....

The Gunners legend offered his take on events at Emirates Stadium following a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace. Sanchez netted twice in a Premier League win at Selhurst Park, but was said to have been snubbed during the celebration which accompanied his first effort. Henry claimed that the rejection was a sure sign that Arsenal’s players are growing tired of the incessant speculation regarding the Chilean’s futur e, but Bellerin clearly does not buy into that....
This is not because I support Israel’s occupation. As an IDF soldier half a lifetime ago, I patrolled the Casbah of Nablus and the roads of the villages of Gaza. It was enough to convince me how bad occupying the territories was for Israel. It is impossible to have a good occupation, and the occupation itself is a curse on Israeli society. When Prime Minister Ehud Barak tried to reach a final agreement, I held my breath—only to watch in horror as it literally blew up in our faces....
