But, as Hill told Sporting News this week, he has gotten a number of calls from teams this season hoping to coax him back into uniform. His response: No, thanks. “Oh, yeah, I have gotten a few calls here and there about coming back,” Hill said. “I won’t say who. But I, without a doubt, have no desire to come back and play. I remember someone telling me, play until the wheels have fallen off....
Hill played on national championship teams in 1991 and 1992 at Duke and graduated after four years with a degree in history. His donation will take care of both sectors, with $1 million going to the athletic department and $250,000 to the Duke Annual Fund for the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. “Tamia and I are in a fortunate position to be able give back to the university that did so much for me," Hill said, mentioning his wife....
The travails of New York Gov. David Paterson have opened up a new potential career path for Clinton, according to well-informed Democratic Party insiders who refused to allow their names to be used when discussing contingencies. They want her to consider the option if she concludes after the April 22 Pennsylvania primary that she cannot overtake Barack Obama for the party’s presidential nomination. Hillary Clinton, while fully committed to continuing her presidential campaign, was said to be open to discussing the idea, while Bill Clinton rejected it out of hand....

More than 90 million people have visited Bristol Zoo Gardens at its site in Clifton, in the U.K., since it opened in 1836. Staff had geared up to welcome its final visitors as the impact of COVID-19 and lockdowns have taken too much of a toll.

His team is playing the Pirates on Thursday in Pittsburgh in the one-game NL wild-card game, but he also is supposed to take a midterm the same day.

In the 1940s, at the start of Zhang Yimou’s wrenching Chinese epic To Live, the dissolute hero, Fugui (Ge You), loses everything – his home, his family, his wife, Jiazhen (Gong Li) – at the gambling tables. It’s one of the film’s bitter ironies that this cataclysm may be Fugui’s luckiest moment, for after the civil war brings Mao to power, the penniless Fugui can pass as a proletarian and stave off the axe of political retribution....
The Williams show is the college’s contribution to something Ludlumesquely titled “The Vienna Project,” a collaboration among 11 cultural institutions scattered throughout the Berkshires–a hilly patch of the Northeastern United States that looks so picturesquely like parts of Austria that you fear for the Trapp family among all those SUVs roaring down scenic roads. The prestigious Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute (also in Williamstown) is showing some Gustave Klimt landscapes, MassMoCA (the gigantic contemporary-art showplace housed in an old mill complex in nearby North Adams) is hosting avant-garde Viennese art and other Berkshire venues are offering Austrian dance, music and theater....
Sorbo, who spoke on the show on Monday to promote her new book, said liberal feminists were showing their “hypocrisy” by not praising Italy as it is set to have its first ever female prime minister. Giorgia Meloni, 45, is the leader of the far-right party Brothers of Italy, and declared on Sunday that history was made following news from exit polls. These polls suggested the right-wing coalition that Meloni heads received between 43 to 45 percent of the vote, leaving the center-left and left-wing parties trailing....
This isn’t a moment Malmsten anticipated back in April 1998, when he was one of three young Swedes with a little bit of money and a lot of ambition on a scouting trip to Manhattan. With his business partners, Kajsa Leander and Patrik Hedelin, Malmsten had an audacious idea: to build an ultrahip, technically awesome, global Internet retailer, with a Web site that would offer, in multiple languages and currencies, up-to-the-instant streetwear for the affluent young, wherever they lived....
Emerging research suggests that this is probably not the case, or at least not the disease pathway we had long presumed. In fact, since as far back as the late-1990s, scientists had begun to observe that HIV can also spread directly from cell to cell without creating any free-circulating virus. This secondary mode of transmission, according to research from the San Francisco-based Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology, is between 100 and 1,000 times more efficient in depleting CD4 cells than a free-circulating virus and may help explain, in part, why current vaccine models are unable to adequately prevent or neutralize HIV....
The answer is no. Each type of sexual contact carries its own risk of HIV transmission. Receptive anal sex, for instance, carries a higher risk of infection than receptive vaginal sex. Oral sex has the lowest risk of transmission. But what if the insertive partner pulls out before ejaculation? Is the risk of HIV less? The answer to that question is not straightforward or simple. This article aims to explore the factors that contribute to HIV transmission and whether “pulling out” is an effective strategy to prevent HIV....
Palace were in front thanks to James McArthur’s first-minute goal when Niasse went down theatrically under pressure from Palace defender Scott Dann, with referee Anthony Taylor pointing to the spot. Richarlison 9/2 FGS with dabblebet Leighton Baines converted from 12 yards, then Niasse came up with a second Everton equaliser after Wilfried Zaha had put Palace back in front, leaving Hodgson despondent as rock-bottom Palace’s winless run was extended to five games in all competitions....
England crashed out of Euro 2016 with the 2-1 loss against one of the lowest-ranked teams in the competition, while in the immediate aftermath of the result, Hodgson announced his decision to quit in a pre-prepared statement to the media. Sitting alongside the Football Association’s chief executive Martin Glenn, Hodgson was clearly irked with the task of addressing the media in his final day as England manager. “I don’t really know what I’m doing here....
Hogan, a centrist Republican who leads a deeply Democratic state, has long been a rare Trump critic. His remarks come after a week of internal turmoil within the GOP, as the Republican National Committee censured two Republican Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for joining the committee investigating the January 6 riot, declaring it “legitimate political discourse.” On Sunday, CNN host Jake Tapper pressed the governor about whether the more moderate wing is losing “the battle of the soul of the Republican Party....
