It turned into his worst nightmare. Busch, who entered the race third in the Chase standings, was involved in two wrecks Sunday at Kansas. The second one was potentially catastrophic, possibly ruining his championship hopes. Busch spun after contact with Juan Pablo Montoya on Lap 187, but suffered no significant damage to his car and returned to the track. But 13 laps later, Busch made contact with Carl Edwards and Brian Vickers, sending him crashing into the wall and knocking him out of the race....
But the hush-hush briefing, so far from public scrutiny, seemed a bit strange. This, after all, was a policy that had been launched in a blaze of publicity on May 1, when Bush declared that “we need a new framework” for strategic thinking in a speech at the National War College. So why the secrecy now? The outcome of the tour may offer a clue: the briefers had almost nothing positive to report....
The White House press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater, denounced the scanner story as “media-manufactured.” Bush was simply impressed by a new type of scanner, he said. Other reporters said privately they thought Rosenthal’s story was a cheap shot. In fact, Rosenthal wasn’t in the press pool that saw Bush try the scanner. He wrote his story from a TV tape of the event and the pool report of a reporter who watched Bush at a distance....
Each year since 1996, overall populations of the 81 butterfly species looked at in the study published in the journal PLOS ONE dropped by an average of 2 percent, or 33 percent in total. Three times as many species are seeing populations fall compared with those experiencing positive trends. In the biggest ever insect monitoring program carried out in North America, the team looked at data collected weekly by volunteers in 24,405 butterfly surveys....
What Qualifies as a Refurbished Item When most of us think of a refurbished item, such as a cellphone or iPad, we think of something that has been opened up, torn apart, and rebuilt, like an auto transmission rebuild. However, in the electronics world, it’s not obvious what the term “refurbished” means for the consumer. An audio or video component can be classified as refurbished if it meets ANY of the following criteria:...
The 23-year-old Sameer also reached the semi-finals of the Orleans Masters this year, besides winning the Swiss Open for the first time in his career. Sourabh has not been in action since bowing out in the second round of the Swiss Open. Other than them, there has not been much change for India’s top shuttlers. Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy remain India’s only top-10 men’s singles exponents at 5th and 10th respectively....

The All-Star guard didn’t come out of the locker room following halftime after aggravating a reoccuring shoulder strain. MORE: Augustin thriving as Pistons starter | Jordan misspells Obama’s name “[He’ll] probably have an MRI [Wednesday],” Thibodeau said per ESPN.com. “He’s got soreness, so hopefully he’ll be better tomorrow.” Butler was not available to reporters after the game, but admitted as he walked through the locker room that his shoulder was hurting....
In his appearance on this past week’s RAW, Edge challenged the WWE locker room to prove themselves in a match against him at WrestleMania 38. The Hall of Famer’s last match was at Royal Rumble when he and Beth Phoenix faced The Miz & Maryse. On the latest Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray argued for Edge to face Austin Theory rather than AJ Styles at WrestleMania 38. The Hall of Famer thinks Theory could benefit hugely from facing a legend like Edge at The Show of Shows, while WWE will also need to develop young stars like Theory:...
Bumrah returned with figures of 6-33 to help India bundle out Australia for 151 in their first innings in the third Test. “He must be a great guy to play with and to captain. He doesn’t mind the pressure or the expectations. He wants to learn and is a workhorse not too long before he will become the best bowler in the world,” Clarke said on Sony Network. “In the next few months, Bumrah will be the number one bowler in all three formats....
Norway international Haaland steered home Thorgan Hazard’s cross in the 29th minute to score the first goal since Germany’s top flight was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic in March. It was his 13th goal in 12 appearances in all competitions since joining Dortmund in January, making him only the second Bundesliga player to achieve that feat after Klaus Matischak for Schalke in 1963-64. Haaland’s Bundesliga record now stands at 10 goals in nine outings....
Trisha Ryan said she confronted the worker after he allegedly used his phone to photograph her card at a drive-thru in Hamilton while she was trying to pay for her lunch. She said she initially became suspicious when the man behind the counter appeared to hesitate when she gave him her card. “I saw him grab his phone line it up, hover it over something on the counter, took a picture, then he did some more handwork and then he took another picture and gave me my receipt,” she told WKRC....
Headlining the fall slate of shows are a return to form for a couple of old favorites. First is Bleach creator Tite Kubo’s return to anime in Burn the Witch and the Inuyasha spinoff series Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon. Crunchyroll got its first crack at audiences when the entire Burn the Witch three-episode series released on October 1. Yashahime premieres on Funimation October 3. RELATED: Taiso Samurai Leads a Loaded Field of New Anime Coming This Fall Both shows earned that spot because of their attachment to a couple of beloved anime, but there are are other shows worth a true first look....
The 26-year-old Argentine brushed off suggestions that United’s extravagant outlay places the new acquisition under increased pressure. Yet, the fee eclipses the total Saturday’s opponent Burnley has spent in the 132-year history of the club. One of England’s oldest at that. Such is the polarisation of income in the Premier League. The Reds’ vast revenue and newly unrestricted wallet should push Van Gaal’s side back towards domestic ascendancy in the years to come....
Busch charged to front after a green-white-checkered restart, taking the lead from his brother Kurt and Tony Stewart. Larson followed him, but could not catch Busch on the final lap. Larson, a Sprint Cup rookied, finished second, followed by Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Stewart, Jamie McMurray, Brian Vickers and AJ Allmendinger. The race was plagued by a rash of tires problems as more than a dozen drivers had flat tires, many of them causing spins and crashes....
This is the impunity issue: did Nixon get away with it? For lack of criminal court proceedings was he allowed to think that public officials were above the law and could do anything they wished? I didn’t see how anyone could think so (though clearly plenty did) after the complex of Watergate issues had been played out and he had been forced from office. Likewise the Iran-contra pardonees. I feel rather differently about their case and this outcome, but on the matter of impunity and being above the law and so forth, I would argue that none of these fellows, whatever public gloating and chortling a few may be indulging in now, can conceivably look back on the past few years and say to himself: Gosh, turns out you can get away with anything-is this a wonderful country or what?...
Bushwhacker Luke is one-half of one of the most polarizing tag teams in the 80s and the 90s, The Bushwhackers. Hailing from New Zealand, The Bushwhackers were known for their “whacky” in-ring personas. The duo would “lick” each other, fans, and even their opponents. They worked with WWE (then WWF) from 1988 to 1996 and were inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 2015. In an interview with Michael Morales Torres from Lucha Libre Online, Bushwhacker Luke gave his thoughts on Vince McMahon and WWE’s character development, as well as the characters present in the company today....
