Jeff Nelson was at work at Wanapum Dam on the Columbia River in Washington State when he and his co-worker Cory Keller caught the incredible sight on their security cameras. In pictures since shared across Facebook and re-posted on Reddit, where they have received more than 63,000 upvotes, a huge bald eagle is seen in flight with a Canada goose in its talons. “We were watching our security cameras at work,” Nelson told Newsweek....

Residents in Plymouth spotted two eagles battling on the ground in the middle of an intersection in the city and called the police. One officer, Mitch Martinson, eventually responded to the scene in an attempt to break up the raptors as a small crowd gathered. The Plymouth Police Department wrote in a Facebook post: “For Plymouth police officers, there’s no telling what call could come in next. Yesterday, police responded to a report of two bald eagles stuck together on a Plymouth roadway....

A former kit man at the Premier League club has lifted the lid on the antics of an enigmatic striker who spent two-and-a-half years at the Etihad Stadium. Man City -2 21/20 v Southampton Balotelli’s misdemeanours throughout his colourful career are legendary, with the 27-year-old never far from the headlines. That was certainly the case during his time in England, with Chapman – who made the famous ‘Why Always Me’ t-shirt displayed against Manchester United in October 2011 – left bemused by most of the Italian’s behaviour....

"106 homers, 276 RBIs," Davis told The Baltimore Sun. OK, he wasn't serious. Indeed, Davis said he isn't much interested in his personal numbers: "You can't expect to go out and duplicate it. Once you have shown the ability to do it, obviously, there is the ability to do it again. But my goal is not to go out and hit 50 home runs again. My goal is to do whatever I have to do to get us to the postseason and be productive....

Five Johnson & Johnson aerosol sunscreens were also recalled in July 2021 after traces of benzene were discovered....

This article will discuss how to use compression bandages correctly so that they don’t cut off circulation, and other mistakes to avoid....

Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the 109-95 defeat to the Nuggets as he is sidelined with a minor knee sprain, his status to be evaluated again ahead of this week’s home game with the Celtics. Eric Bledsoe is also dealing with an injury, but Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer did not play Khris Middleton, Donte DiVincenzo, Marvin Williams or Brook Lopez at all against the Nuggets. With a playoff spot already secured and a healthy lead over the Raptors at the top of the Eastern Conference, Korver — who scored 23 points — understood why the decision was made to manage minutes for key players....

To get top dollar for their 30-year-old split-level house the Fletchers decided to make a few upgrades. Since cash was tight, Fletcher used a credit card for $10,000 for new carpeting, fresh paint and a professional cleaning. She and her husband figured they’d recoup their costs once they sold their home. Unfortunately, the house sat on the market for nearly four months without an offer and ended up selling for $50,000 less than expected....

Prime Minister Boris Johnson was clear in January that he wanted the Chinese company to provide around a third of the infrastructure, directly opposing the view of U.S. President Donald Trump. Reports then emerged that Johnson planned to reduce Chinese company Huawei’s involvement in the U.K.’s 5G networks to zero by 2023, following pressure from backbenchers. In a further twist, this could actually be “impossible,” one official told The Times of London, given the extra cost and the extent to which Huawei is embedded within existing British infrastructure....

Pasco County Schools reversed that decision as of Wednesday evening and said they would allow Rachel Long to do her presentation about the Jewish Festival of Lights once she’s met with teachers and relevant faculty. Nonetheless, there has been anger about the initial refusal online and some Twitter users took aim specifically at Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. A Longleaf Elementary School teacher cited Florida’s Parents’ Bill of Rights, which was signed into law by DeSantis on June 30, 2021, when speaking to Long....

On Tuesday, the president attended an exhibition between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban National Team at Estadio Lationoamericano in Havana. In a visit to the ESPN broadcast during the top of the third inning, Obama spoke about the state of affairs between the United States and Cuba.

So who was the poor NBA player who was subjected to disses by the leader of the free world? Why, none other than Knicks center Joakim Noah. MORE: Obama’s greatest sports moments In a GQ article detailing the history of Obama’s pickup basketball game, it was revealed the president made fun of Noah’s, um, peculiar shooting technique when Noah was a member of the Bulls. The alleged exchange happened in 2010 after Obama invited several NBA players to play in a game of pickup in honor of his 49th birthday....

The filing, made 11 days after Blackstone Group became the first private-equity firm to float an IPO, signals a low-key return to the public limelight for Kravis, the 63-year-old Oklahoma-born multibillionaire who cofounded Kohlberg Kravis Roberts in 1976. Kravis was the enfant terrible of Wall Street during the 1980s, and his so-called leveraged buyouts of companies like Safeway and Duracell presaged today’s private-equity craze. Kravis and his second wife, fashion designer Carolyn Roehm, dominated financial and gossip columns, and their names became synonymous with splashy Wall Street wealth—and, ultimately, hubris....

Barca expect imminent Messi renewal As per a report in Sport, Benfica president, Luis Filipe Vieira, visited the Catalan capital regarding the transfer of 23-year-old right-back Semedo. Reports in Portugal have suggested he spoke with Manchester City during his visit, but Goal understands he also met Barca officials as they look to resolve one of their problem positions.

A first-half strike from John Guidetti put Barca’s record in jeopardy at the Camp Nou on Sunday, but Luis Suarez pulled his side level in the 72nd minute before a Lionel Messi free-kick gave the Catalans a 2-1 victory. Barca now have 18 wins and three draws in La Liga, while they managed 17 victories and four draws to open the 2009-10 campaign. That record has made them the runaway league leaders, with Ernesto Valverde’s side sitting 11 points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid and 19 points clear of arch-rivals Real Madrid....

The France star has been heavily linked with a move to Barca from Atletico Madrid at the end of the season, with Luis Suarez hinting last week that a deal could already have been agreed.

While in recent years La Masia has taken all the headlines, the tiny Basque village of Lezama still remains synonymous with the cantera concept. The term, which literally translates as ‘quarry’ and refers to the digging up of youth talent, is paid lip service at Barcelona but, at Athletic, it is a simple matter of survival. Every weekend scores of young Basque hopefuls teem the fields of the club’s academy hoping to win their place in a club that has few other options when it comes to bolstering their squad....
