Blues 2/1 to lose or draw v Watford Azpilicueta, as quoted by Standard Sport after the 3-3 draw, said: “The mood at the moment is not the best....
Some of the guys playing slow-pitch softball for Edna’s Bar & Grill may be heading for tryout camps. Hold ’em and they will come. The Blue Jays reportedly held three camps, saw more than 600 players, signed one – a pitcher whose Northern League ERA last year was a comical 7.71. Imagine watching has-beens and never-will-bes without even the consolation of cold beer. Will unionized truckdrivers deliver the beer to games played by strikebreakers?...

“Today, we were made aware of the weather-related situation at Abbott’s Sturgis, Michigan facility. I personally spoke to the CEO tonight and we discussed our shared desire to get the facility up and running again as quickly as possible,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf wrote on Twitter. “While this is an unfortunate setback and a reminder that natural weather events can also cause unforeseen supply chain disruptions, I want to reassure consumers the all-of-government work to increase supply means we’ll have more than enough product to meet current demand....
With the text “Hippo baby broke out of his [enclosure] to mess with the giraffes,” the baby hippo can be seen roaming around, swimming in the giraffes’ pool, chewing on wires, having a little rest, and just generally being a nuisance. In an update in the next video, the naughty little omnivore can be seen running away from its mother and squeezing through the fence to visit the zebras, having a nibble on their hay, before leaving to go and bother the giraffes again, with 2....
For 10 years, the mother has lived in a tank with one other female at the Acquario di Cala Gonone in Sardinia, Italy, reported Italian outlet AGI. According to the outlet, scientists believe the baby—a female named “Ispera,” meaning “hope”—is a clone of its mother born via parthenogenesis.

The timing of the blast pointed investigators in the direction of Colombia’s notorious narcotraficantes. The attack occurred less than 48 hours after the nation’s Supreme Court unanimously approved the first extradition of a Colombian drug trafficker to the United States in nine years. In the late 1980s Pablo Escobar and other narcotics kingpins unleashed a brutal campaign of bombings, kidnappings and assassinations that cowed the Colombian government into halting all extraditions of suspects wanted by U....
Top B-schools routinely attract people with diverse backgrounds: Harvard’s current crop of M.B.A.s includes a Roman Catholic priest and several M.D.s. But even in this pool of talent, Krizelman stands out. In 1994 he and his Cornell roommate founded theglobe.com, a community Web site, and took it public in 1998. For a short time, each of them held stock worth $75 million (they each managed to bank several million before the dot-com collapse)....

Democratic officials with access to exit polls say Sen. Obama looks like he’s headed for a huge win in today’s Wisconsin primary… The party officials said that if the trends reflect in the interviews with hundreds of Badger State voters, the news out of the primary will be: Obama encroached deeply into three of Clinton’s core groups of voters — women, those with no college degree and those with lower incomes — while giving up none of his own....
Pre-professional youth ballet, Ballet Excel Ohio, shared a behind-the-scenes look at its show of Peter Pan just four days ago, gaining over 10 million views already. Like with many shows, the Peter Pan performance features a scene in which Wendy Darling and her siblings follow Peter Pan in flying from their London window to Neverland. Of course, the ballet dancers are unable to do that, but they are able to reciprocate the look for the audience, using a surprising technique....
Golden Valley Police Department (GVPD) officers confronted visitors Friday at Twin Lake’s beach, located inside Minneapolis’s Theodore Wirth Park, preparing to issue citations for violating indecent exposure laws.

Robinson had sentenced Troy Gregory, of Lawrence, Kansas to 60 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release and more than $4.7 million in restitution for carrying out the scheme.

The ad, paid for by the Committee to Protect the President, pairs an excerpt from the audiobook version of Obama’s memoir Dreams From My Father with images of Biden. The spot opens with a woman’s narration introducing Obama. “Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie—here’s Barack Obama.” The clip that follows is an excerpt from Obama’s book, where the former president is speaking about “machine politics” in Chicago—a corrupt practice common in Chicago during the late 19th and early 20th century, where an elected leader would give supporters benefits based on their ability to get people to vote for them....
Obama issued a statement denouncing the violence hours after a mob of Trump supporters assaulted police and stormed into the Capitol building. Trump’s predecessor accused the president of “inciting” the violence by spreading false claims that President-elect Joe Biden benefited from massive voter fraud, while also condemning Republicans and pro-Trump media for promoting a false narrative that may have encouraged the violence. “History will rightly remember today’s violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation,” Obama said....

In 2005, then-Illinois senator Obama argued against ending the filibuster, saying the American people do not expect political parties to “change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet. “If the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to Democratic debate, then the fighting and the bitterness and the gridlock will only get worse,” Obama said....
