What went wrong? To be sure, India’s only Muslim-majority state is also its most volatile. In a decade of separatist fighting, police say more than 25,000 people have been killed in Kashmir. India accuses Pakistan of arming and funding the separatist rebels; Pakistan says it provides only encouragement, not materiel. But the ceasefire’s quick collapse may indicate widening differences within Pakistan’s ruling junta. It also comes as a setback to recent U....
But unlike many global problems, the solution to child wasting is staring us in the face. A daily dose of low-cost, ready-to-use therapeutic food – RUTF – will save the vast majority of children suffering from wasting, if we reach them in time. But at least two out of three children suffering from wasting don’t have access to this cost-effective, lifesaving treatment. We need to remove the obstacles that are standing in their way....
The extraordinary moment – perhaps destined to become the pivotal moment in the trial – came as prosecutor Christopher Darden was questioning a witness about the gloves allegedly worn by Simpson during the murders. The left-hand one had been found near the savagely attacked bodies of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, and the right outside Simpson’s house. Nicole, in a tragic irony, had bought the $55 leather gloves, or similar ones, during a trip to the New York store in 1990, according to the earlier testimony of a Bloomingdale’s buyer named Brenda Vemich....
Internet viral-video star Amber Lee Ettinger sat out her home state’s primary. In other words, Obama Girl did not vote for Barack Obama. Score: 59 Super Bowl loser Bill Belichick stomps off the field before the clock expires, completing his evolution from sports hero to cartoon villain. Score: 91
German law gives judges wide leeway in sentencing. Judge Elke Bosse concluded that Parche posed no further threat and “may not have been fully responsible for his actions.” Parche, who sunk a knife a half inch into Seles’s back, said he only wanted to “hurt her slightly” so that Graf could regain the No. I ranking. The fact that the stalker succeeded in this coldly reasoned plan did not dissuade the judge from letting him go....
Making a movie in Mexico is still rather different from making one in Hollywood. But here’s a plot twist: after years of decline and an early-1990s avalanche of Hollywood films, the once-proud Mexican film industry is in the midst of a revival. Last year “Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas” (“Sex, Shame and Tears”), a story of yuppie love in Mexico City, earned $12 million, a Mexican record. Another local film is No....
According to the COVID Tracking Project, testing peaked in July, with July 17 marking the highest number of tests administered in one day so far: 837,392 tests. In Miami, Florida, the current epicenter of the outbreak, lab lines are hundreds of people long. Miami resident Taylor Mazloum, 25, tells Verywell that she tried to get tested at a walk-up testing center on June 22, but was so overwhelmed by the volume of people that she left and went to a private lab instead....
There are several avenues of research that may hold some promise. One is the Holy Grail of cancer research: a chemical or biological marker in the blood that reliably indicates whether even a few cancer cells are present. We already have something like that for prostate cancer, the PSA test; and while I know that there are some feminists who would say this is no coincidence, I’m a scientist as well as a feminist, and I know that it really is a coincidence....
This is the newest chapter in the search for private-sector solutions to public-school failure. Unlike the Minneapolis-based Education Alternatives Inc. or the controversial Edison Project devised by Chris Whittle, Sylvan has no interest in taking over entire schools or districts. Instead, the Maryland-based company has found a way to tap into the $7 billion federal Chapter One till – money targeted for poverty-level students with low achievement records. It works like this: school systems give Sylvan the Chapter One dollars they receive anyway for remedial educa-tion (about $1,100 to $1,500 per child)....
But Morley, now 70, has found a little peace and quiet–not to mention a spacious, light-filled studio–in his formerly ecclesiastical abode. And his current retrospective exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London (“Malcolm Morley: In Full Colour” runs through Aug. 27) finally gives him the homecoming that an artist who was in on the ground floor of both pop art in the 1960s and neo-expressionism in the ’70s–and who won the very first Turner Prize in 1984–deserves....
In less than eight weeks, six cargo vessels have been damaged by mines attached to their hulls. A U.S. surveillance drone was shot out of the sky. An Iranian drone was downed in mid-air by the USS Boxer. An Iranian cargo ship laden with over 2 million barrels of crude was seized by British authorities off Gibraltar. And in the latest case, a U.K. vessel was taken into Iranian custody....
The Nets announced that they have reached an agreement to hire Hollins. The deal will pay him about $4 million to $5 million per year, ESPN.com’s Marc Stein reported prior to the announcement. Hollins last coached the Grizzlies, leading them to 56 wins and a spot in the Western Conference finals in 2013. But he was let go that spring, replaced by one of his assistants, Dave Joerger. According to a source, the plan at the time was that Joerger would get the Memphis job and Hollins would land in Brooklyn or with the Clippers....
Pop star turned rapper Carter, 34, was found dead in a bathtub on the morning of November 5 at his home in Lancaster, California, CNN reported. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to local authorities. While the circumstances surrounding the musician’s death have yet to be publicly revealed, much was made of the fact that his final tweet was directed at beleaguered rapper West, who has legally changed his name to Ye....
Casey White, who is representing Donald after he was accused of assaulting De Vincent Spriggs on Sunday between the hours of 3 and 4 a.m. ET, told 93.7 The Fan that Spriggs initiated the alleged incident. White said an intoxicated Spriggs aggressively approached Donald at a party earlier in the evening and had to be taken outside. Spriggs later attempted to hit Donald with a bottle before others stepped in, White said....

The 2022 NFL MVP arrived to the first day of Packers’ training camp in…style? Despite signing one of the biggest extensions in league history earlier this offseason, Rodgers pulled up to Green Bay’s training facility dressed like a farmer who just finished a long day on the field. Dressed to the nines in a tank top, bootcut jeans and sleek black leather boots, Rodgers looked every bit like a cowboy returning home after a rodeo....
The Packers quarterback and back-to-back NFL MVP put his heart into an Instagram post Monday that maybe hinted at him retiring . . . or him being traded . . . or him just feeling blue about having no football for the next few months . . . or him just wanting to yank people’s chains again. Using the hashtag #MondayNightGratitude, Rodgers thanked teammates, coaches and his former (and maybe future?...
