Tori Bowie won the women’s 200-meter final in 22.25 during the United States Olympic track and field team trials on Sunday, adding that honor to the 100-meter title she won earlier in the week. Felix just missed out on making the Olympics in the 200, finishing fourth. Deejah Stevens took second at 22.30 and Jenna Prandini edged Felix out for third as she tumbled towards the finish line, beating her by ....
In another time and place, outsiders would have ignored a few dozen souls protesting wildcat real-estate development. But this is Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and the Rublyov Highway is the jugular vein of the country’s political and financial elite. The five-month-old protest is striking a nerve among Moscow’s ruling class and giving ordinary Russians intimations of an unholy alliance of power and money in the country today. “Nothing like this [roadblock] has ever happened before,” says Kalchuga village elder Sergei Grachev....

“You see these kids who go through the worst experiences and they seem to come out stronger, whereas other kids come out bruised,” says Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health. “The way they’re responding to loss or traumatic events is partly encoded in their genomes.” The new paper is one in a series published over the last four years that have “resolved a long-term debate,” says Insel....

Next wave? Cutting edge? This simpleton’s celebration of ear-plug music and hack choreography? For some reason there are no strobes in “Billboards”; in every other way, it’s the next wave of 20 years ago. Three of the four choreographers–Charles Moulton, Margo Sappington and Peter Pucci–have turned out works indistinguishable from one another, each a pounding onslaught of dancers jabbing their feet, their pelvises and their buttocks everywhere they decently or indecently can....
Bypassing official channels, the CIA’s Tel Aviv station chief, Jeff O’Connell, secretly shuttled between Israel’s domestic security agency, the Shin Bet, and Yasir Arafat’s Kurdish-born chief financial adviser, Mohammed Rashid. Within three days, O’Connell helped find a way to extricate both sides from the –bloody standoff by arranging for 38 militants to be given safe passage from the church to Gaza and Europe. When they refused to hand over their weapons to the Israelis, O’Connell stepped in again to save the deal....
This question originally appeared on Quora: The best answer to any question. Ask a question, get a great answer. Learn from experts and access insider knowledge. You can follow Quora on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. Answer by Ben Chang, two-time money league winner: Sample sizes are too small. Player stats (and consequently their value) can be heavily impacted by one or two fluke plays. There are only 16 games (compared to 162 for baseball and 82 for basketball), so there isn’t as much time for things to even out....

The fear of lingering mindlessly tethered to machines is an unfortunate byproduct of modern medical technology. It also helps explain the grim fascination with Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who was acquitted last week of violating Michigan’s ban on assisted suicide. Also last week, a federal judge in Seattle overturned Washington state’s ban on assisted suicide, ruling that a dying person has just as much right to overtly end his life as he does to refuse medical care....

All along I have said that the United States is not going to intervene militarily in Iraqs internal affairs and risk being drawn into a Vietnam-style quagmire. This remains the case. Watch what he does, not what he says. George Bush repeated his pledge of noninvolvement last week even as he announced what amounted to a new military intervention in Iraq–one that ran a distinct risk of drawing the United States into another quagmire....
Also known as critical infrastructure workers, these employees or contractors are involved in public health and safety as well as community wellbeing, according to a statement by Christopher C. Krebs, director at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). While many of us are being told to stay at home, these workers have a responsibility during the outbreak to continue operations, potentially putting their lives in danger through contracting COVID-19....
Last weekend, the Clinton administration fired the first shot in what could become a trade war over “intellectual property,” as recorded or printed information products are known. Washington slapped 100 percent tariffs on $1.08 billion worth of Chinese imports (chart). “We cannot stand by while the interests of our fastest-growing, most competitive industries are sacrificed in China,” said Mickey Kantor, the U.S. trade representative. The sanctions won’t take effect until Feb....
Jimmy Butler gave out his phone number Thursday, asking his critics to contact him directly if they have something they want to say. “Everybody is entitled to their opinion,” Butler said. “But with that being said, my phone’s in my back pocket right now, if whoever has anything to say to me, feel free — 773-899-6071. If you want an interview, there you have it. Please do.” MORE: Jimmy Butler invites critics to reach him directly...
If this latest e-tailing IPO is any indication, toy shopping online makes sense to a lot of folks. The company sees a market opportunity in what it delicately calls the “challenges of shopping with children” in traditional bricks-and-mortar stores. eToys itself slyly describes the experience in its prospectus, with references to changing diapers and returning chocolate bars to candy racks. The eToys pitch: now you can shop when the kids are asleep....
Everybody seemed to sense that except Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who refused to give an inch. Secretary of State James Baker went to Shamir with a pledge from Bush that the White House wouldn’t try to delay the loan guarantees further once Bush’s proposed 120-day hiatus was up. But Shamir demanded that the aid not be conditional on a freeze on settlements. Baker refused. “Israel and her supporters in the United States risk the peace process,” a “senior official,” later acknowledged to be Baker, said, adding that the administration might well seek tough restrictions on settlements....
No one suggests that McCain’s motives are venal. Yet, like other lawmakers, he has written letters to regulatory agencies on behalf of companies that are significant contributors to his campaign. Among the 500 letters from McCain released last week by his aides on the Commerce Committee, several are sure to be scrutinized. In the fall of 1998, McCain urged the FCC to give “serious consideration” to the request by local phone giant BellSouth to be allowed into the lucrative long-distance phone business....
Over the last month the Kostunica-led government has carried on an enormous diplomatic effort to prevent other states from recognizing Kosovo’s independence, and they are leaning on other nations to revoke their recognition. Kostunica has also told Kosovo Serbs to cease cooperation with the new government and the EU mission. Worse still: he is trying to cement Serbian control over the northern portion of Kosovo—in effect partitioning Kosovo, without recognizing the independence of the remainder....
