The striker scored twice as Juve recorded a 2-0 away win in the first leg on Wednesday, putting them in pole position for a place in next month’s Cardiff final. Higuain delivers for Juventus Higuain had been criticised for a record of only two goals in 24 Champions League knockout games coming into the contest, having endured a dry spell that reached all the way back to 2013, but insists he did not let that drought bother him as he hailed an impressive result....

Clinton made the remarks on Friday during an onstage interview at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas. Trump’s former 2016 presidential election rival recalled wondering as a student how followers of Hitler became “drawn in” by the Nazi leader before pointing out what she suggested was similar behavior by the former president and his followers during a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, last weekend. “I remember as a young student trying to figure out, how did people get basically drawn in by Hitler?...

In a damming 46-page ruling on Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks condemned Trump and his lawyer Alina Habba for attempting to “misuse” the courts by filing dozens of “frivolous” lawsuits against his perceived enemies. Trump’s suits, which had 31 defenders, including Clinton, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and leading FBI figures, alleged there was an “unthinkable plot” by Democrats and federal figures to accuse him of working with Russia to rig the 2016 election in his favor....

This article will explore how a hip pointer injury occurs, as well as how these injuries are diagnosed and treated. Types of Hip Pointer Injuries There is only one kind of hip pointer injury, however, the term “hip pointer” was used to describe all types of hip injuries in athletes until one medical doctor suggested a more narrow definition. Martin Blazina, MD, stated in a 1967 report that the term was being used to describe all sorts of injuries in the hip region, but a true “hip pointer” injury didn’t really affect the hip at all....

The president’s opponents say the war on terror is nothing at all like the last century’s biggest conflicts. With a crucial midterm election approaching, Democrats in particular are eager to portray what Bush calls the war on terror’s “central front”—Iraq—not as another glorious fight against totalitarianism but as another Vietnam, a quagmire unrelated to the fight against Al Qaeda. Vietnam, of course, was not a clarifying war, at least for Americans....

We can’t move, of course, because there’s always the chance something might happen. So it was with Wye River and Camp David, the last times the Israelis and Palestinians came together fruitlessly under U.S. auspices. Back then the press was bivouacked at a campus dining hall (Wye) and in an elementary school with tot-size toilets (Camp David). Now, at least, we have stadium seats—but no more information. Press spokesmen for some of the 50 delegations stroll listlessly amid the filing tables, but they seem to know as little as we do....

According to a Pew Research Center poll, released Tuesday, more than half—55 percent—of the overall public are either very or somewhat concerned they will catch the virus and require hospitalization. When broken down by race, larger portions of Hispanics and black adults said they are very concerned about catching COVID-19, 43 percent and 31 percent respectively, compared to just 18 percent of white adults. A larger share of Hispanic and black adults are also more concerned about unknowingly spreading the coronavirus to others compared to white adults, with 49 percent of Hispanic adults and 38 percent of black adults indicating they are very concerned about unwittingly passing on the virus, compared to 28 percent of white adults....

And there’s no shortage of finger-pointing going on in Washington over who to blame. For Democrats, it’s Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) who refuses to negotiate in a bipartisan fashion. For Republicans, Democrats are hellbent on having an election-year talking point rather than even allowing debate—much less a vote—on a meaningful solution. Democrats plan to defeat a vote on Wednesday to prevent the start of debate on a police reform package by Senator Tim Scott (R-S....

Home videos and snapshots aren’t all that are at risk. Librarians and archivists warn we’re losing vast amounts of important scientific and historical material because of disintegration or obsolescence. Already gone is up to 20 percent of the data collected on Jet Propulsion Laboratory computers during NASA’s 1976 Viking mission to Mars. Also at risk are 4,000 reels of census data stored in a format so obscure that archivists doubt they’ll be able to recover it....

The game marks the first meeting between Sarah Thomas, the league’s first full-time female official, and Jen Welter, who has helped coach the Cardinals’ inside linebackers through training camp. MORE: Betting lines for final preseason slate | Best and worst Madden ‘16 rankings | Ranking all 31 NFL stadiums Welter joined the Arizona coaching staff in July, while Thomas was hiredto be the first full-time female official in April. Their being on the field together represents what many people hope is a sign of more career opportunities for women in the NFL....

Like you don’t already know who it is. MORE: Michigan-Ohio State 2018 could be biggest game of Harbaugh, Meyer eras It’s No. 10 Ohio State, which stayed in the same spot and was leapfrogged by the American Athletic Conference’s UCF, which took West Virginia’s spot at No. 9. One might look at that with the Buckeyes’ 52-51 escape at Maryland fresh and think there’s no chance for a last-minute run....

Having watched with wariness how the Feds’ laudable investigation of a cabal of fitness quacks had morphed into a seemingly obsessive crusade to take down superstar athletes—including Barry Bonds—I wondered whether the San Francisco investigation had degenerated into a drive-by character assassination of innocent players. I knew that Pettitte, in particular, had a straight-arrow reputation, so I set out to determine whether he (or others) had been unfairly smeared in a media frenzy....

This is the situation today. Food prices have surged as higher demand has been turbocharged by other factors. Caught by surprise, policymakers at both the national and international levels are scrambling to understand and fix the situation. At its root, the increase in food prices is part of the bigger phenomenon of the economic development of key emerging economies like China and India. As they become richer, populations in these economies consume more cereals and meat—a testament to their success in sustaining high growth and, more important, reducing poverty in a sustained fashion....

Transmission Risk in Women HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid (“pre-cum”), or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. It can also be found in rectal fluid and breast milk. It can be transmitted through small tears in the mouth, throat, rectum, or lining of the vagina, allowing HIV to enter the body. HIV can also be absorbed through the mucous membranes that line the vagina and cervix....

According to reports, Oxford professor Dirk Obbink was named in an investigation as having stolen at least 11 fragments from The Egypt Exploration Society (EES), a London-based nonprofit organization. Between 2010 and 2013, Obbink supposedly sold the fragments in multiple installments to Green—who purchased them for the Museum of the Bible (MOTB) in Washington, D.C. “The MOTB has informed the EES that 11 of these pieces came into its care after being sold to Hobby Lobby stores by Prof....

Atrial Fibrillation and Holiday Heart Atrial fibrillation is a fairly common heart rhythm disturbance that often produces significant symptoms, especially easy fatiguability and palpitations. The real reason that atrial fibrillation is of concern, however, is that it can lead to stroke. Atrial fibrillation is a rapid and irregular cardiac arrhythmia caused by chaotic electrical impulses in the atrial chambers of the heart (the two upper chambers). In most cases, the atrial fibrillation that occurs with holiday heart is “paroxysmal,” meaning that the arrhythmia begins very suddenly and, after some period of time, stops equally as suddenly....

Over the past week, Cuba has witnessed its largest public protests in decades as Cubans take to the streets demonstrating against food shortages, high prices and the country’s coronavirus response. Jumping to support the protests, U.S. President Joe Biden called the public dissent a “clarion call for freedom” before citing what he referred to as, “decades of repression and economic suffering to which [Cubans] have been subjected by Cuba’s authoritarian regime,” neglecting the significant impact of U....

The Garden of Remembrance, which commemorates the millions of Jews killed during World War II, was targeted ahead of the solemn day of atonement for members of the Jewish faith. Westchester County Police said they were investigating the incident. “We are enraged by this act and heartbroken that individuals would target members of our community on the most solemn day in their tradition,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said in a written statement....

Phillips says the Grail was sent to Britain for safekeeping in the fifth century, when the barbarians sacked Rome. Taken to the Roman-built city of Viroconium, sometimes identified as the site of King Arthur’s Camelot, the relic passed into the hands of Welsh rulers whose descendants kept it as an heirloom long after they had forgotten its story. One member of the family stashed it inside a statue in the 1850s: a descendant found it there in 1920 after decoding a snippet of verse....
