Both fighters were throwing bombs through three rounds. In the fourth, Fortuna controversially had not one, but two points deducted for holding. Then, Granados, the bigger man, pushed Fortuna out of the ring, where Fortuna seemingly hit his head on the camera box structure just outside the ring apron. MORE: Results from Errol Spence Jr.’s latest title defense Multiple replays showed Fortuna’s head just missing the camera box, so there’s some question as to how the fight-stopping injury occurred....
We’ll spare you the details of the case (you can read updates here if you’d like), but the bottom line for fantasy owners is they shouldn’t expect Peterson on the field this week – and possibly several more (Update: Peterson has been officially deactivated for Week 2). This is a serious situation, and in the wake of everything else that’s gone on with the NFL lately, you can bet the league will be proactive in disciplining Peterson, whether that’s through the league office or by putting pressure on the Vikings....
News that Peterson was coming back sooner than expected from a torn meniscus sparked optimism for Minnesota’s anemic running game, which ranks last in the NFL by a large margin, and a home game against the Colts seemed like a fine opportunity for AP to get loose in his first game since Week 2. Instead, the Colts’ usually porous defense bottled Peterson up, holding him to 22 yards rushing on six carries and one catch for 1 yard....

In September 2014, Peterson was indicted on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child, with prosecutors saying he used a tree branch to beat his 4-year-old son. Peterson defended his use of physical discipline by saying he was punishing his son the way he had when he was younger. Peterson was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday after a reported “verbal argument” with his wife aboard a plane....
Actually, adult acne is a fairly common condition and has the same underlying cause as teenage acne—an overabundance of sebum, skin cells becoming trapped within the pores and causing blockages (comedones), and a proliferation of the Propioni bacterium. Your skin changes during adulthood, and you could have acne triggers as an adult that you might not have had when you were younger—medications for a medical condition, oral contraceptives, cosmetics, exposure to skin irritants, stress, and more....
Education is essential to all of us. Education lays the groundwork for achieving knowledge and gaining values, skills, beliefs and moral habits. We must know and understand that creating pathways to a straightforward course for all to learn is pivotal to remaining economically viable and sustainable. As the country debates and saddles the weight of more than $1.6 trillion in student loan debt, families wrangle over how they will send their young learners to college or return themselves — we know California has 5....
