The rest, as they might say, is charity. Their company is now a huge business, selling dressing, pasta sauce, popcorn and more in eight countries–and they give away all its profits to thousands of organizations, including the Hole in the Wall Gang camps they created for children with serious illnesses. Newman and Hotchner maintain they don’t know beans about business, but they have just written the story of their remarkable enterprise: “Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good....

TO AN EAST COAST corporate tower builder, Jim Cutler might sound like some kind of New Age nut. A soft-spoken, bearded guy who pads in his socks around a snug office overlooking a Puget Sound marina, Cutler is a bit ambivalent about his profession. He’s uneasy about its destructiveness (“whenever you build something, you insult the land”); he terms the unnecessary bulldozing of a tree “wanton murder.” So when he starts a new project, be takes the lay of the land: he personally surveys the site, nestles his design into the existing trees as much as possible and marks out a staging area so construction crews contain their mess....

Harris began serving in the Senate in 2017 and was one of Biden’s opponents for the 2020 presidential nomination before suspending her campaign last December. Part of her candidacy included vows to reform the country’s criminal justice system, which her campaign website said is “deeply flawed” and “infected with bias.” Harris started her career in criminal justice after completing her law degree at University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco....

A sixth loss this season, with five already through eight games, could cost the coach his job. MORE: Week 9 NFL power rankings | IYER: How to fix Andrew Luck Colts general manager Ryan Grigson was visibly upset during and after Monday night’s 29-26 overtime loss to the Panthers. Grigson, who has had his differences with Pagano, was in the Bank of America Stadium press box and his body language was interesting to say the least....

That was not an outlandish assessment of the young Henry Cisneros. The tall, handsome son of an army colonel, Cisneros, a graduate of Texas A&M and Harvard, exuded a winning presence, a mixture of ambition and dignity. Though he didn’t make it onto the ticket that summer of 1984 (Geraldine Ferraro did), insiders regarded Cisneros as a future governor or senator, possibly the first Hispanic president. Right now, however, Cisneros is worrying about staying out of prison....

Maybe this old problem is garnering fresh attention because Republicans have made inroads elsewhere. In 2012, single men also voted Democrat, but now a majority of them vote Republican. Perhaps this old problem feels more urgent because single women will make up a growing part of the electorate. The marriage rate is at its lowest level in recorded history, and as women continue to earn more degrees and make more money than single men, marriage will only become less common....

Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther thinks Manziel should take a page out of Drew Brees’ book and learn how to play in the pocket. MORE: Must-see photos of NFL rookies at camp | Dez Bryant’s agents talk long-term deal “Drew Brees did it,” Guenther told ESPN. “I know Drew is a little bit thicker than Johnny but about the same height. … I don’t see any reason why he can’t do it up there....

That’s Russian for thank you very much. And Anna Beloded, a 19-year-old college student from Belarus, is–like her sister Ekaterina–genuinely glad to be waiting tables here. But really, the thanks should be going the other way: from millions of vacationing Americans to 40,000-plus foreign student workers, mostly Europeans, without whom the summer of ‘99 would be going a lot less smoothly. Coming from places like Ireland, France, Spain and, increasingly, Eastern Europe, they are especially evident in the Eastern United States....

The girl sent him a tiny stone scarab–for luck, for protection. She was barely sixteen, a budding poet; it was in her nature to believe in amulets and the mystical powers of things like scarabs. She drew a peace symbol at the end of one of her letters, but when he responded, he said her hasty artwork had bothered him, stung him, because it reminded him of all the protests back home....

On the other side of the Atlantic, they refer to this as a “nil-nil” draw. For reasons I’ve never quite been able to understand, those who follow the sport here seem compelled to do the same. Over here, though, such a result often is often called “boring”, as well, and that contention is even more of a mystery. After the group stage game between England and the USMNT in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, U....

A Timeline of the Drama Around ‘Kim’s Convenience’ Ending 1. Show’s cancellation In March 2021, the news broke Kim’s Convenience would not be returning for a sixth series. Originally, the series was renewed for both seasons five and six in Spring 2020 but Canadian broadcaster CBC reversed their decision in March 2021. Confirming season five would be the last, the producers in a statement to Deadline said: “Authenticity of storytelling is at the center of the success of Kim’s Convenience....

A is for Alvito D’Cunha : The former India international won eleven titles in 14 seasons in the Red and Gold ranks as a player. His 19th-minute wonder goal several seasons ago stood out to be one of the best goals in the history of the derby.

In the world of professional basketball, the preponderance of off-ball deliberate fouls, better known as the “Hack-A-Shaq” strategy, is something that commissioner Adam Silver and his counterparts troublesome. MORE: Shaq’s SN covers | Silver says this is not the end of Kobe in NBA “Very few people like the idea of (off-ball deliberate fouls). It’s a non-basketball play,” he said. “It sort of goes against the spirit of the rulebook....

Hawk’s agent Mike McCartney tweeted Tuesday afternoon that Hawk would be going to Cincinnati.

Hawk either led the Packers or finished second in tackles six times....

Or, rather, just a hair too far. The 3-seed Wildcats forced a shot clock violation on 1-seed Stanford’s final possession of the national championship game, giving the upstart Wildcats — who had lost to the Cardinal twice previously this season — a chance to win on the final possession of the game. And there was no player whom Arizona coach Adia Barnes wanted to have the ball more than McDonald, who had a game-high 22 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals....

At the moment, after back-to-back weekend losses to an out-of-contention Cleveland squad by a combined score of 22-4, it’s much more the latter than the former. With less than two weeks left in the regular season and the club currently on the outside looking in at the AL playoff picture, it’s fair to wonder whether Cashman will decide to make a change, either in the waning days of the season or after they’re done playing....

While Rodgers is still looking to repair certain personal relationships in his life through the use of ayahuasca, the next reconciliation that could take place is with his wide receiver room. Rodgers is notorious for demanding perfection out of his wideouts, something that’s been especially apparent this offseason. With No. 1 target Davante Adams traded to Las Vegas and a bevy of new pass catchers in the room, the learning process has not been up to standard....

Probably not unlike Tony Gonzalez, the elementary dean of students at Milwaukee College Prep, a free, K-8 public charter school. PREVIOUSLY: Rodgers surprises entire neighborhood for cancer research Before all of the touchdowns, the wins and the MVP-caliber performance, Rodgers took some of his free time to surprise a few deserving people doing good in the Milwaukee area with his ItsAaron.com project, a collaboration with attorney David Gruber. Earlier this year, Rodgers surprised Gonzalez, who took the Packers QB to the 36th Street campus....

Rodgers has a small fracture in the collarbone of his non-throwing shoulder and could miss three weeks, according to an ESPN report. The Packers’ Super Bowl odds were moved to 15-to-1 at the LVH SuperBook, up from 10-to-1 a week ago, and their odds to win the NFC went from 9-to-2 to 7-to-1. “We pretty much adjusted it based on the loss last night,” Ed Salmons, assistant manager at the SuperBook, told The Linemakers on Sporting News Tuesday morning....
