Granted, if you already believed what some in the media have fed you about CPAC, a conspiracy theory about a stage shape would simply confirm your preexisting bias about the conference being a breeding ground for neo-Nazis. But if you know the CPAC that I know—and I have attended the last 10 conferences, including the last two as conference staff—these accusations represent jaw-dropping chutzpah and disingenuousness. They are a case study in the kind of petty and dishonest political mud-slinging that violates every sense of decency....

It’s crystal clear that Alex Rodriguez’s last days in a Yankees uniform won’t be warm and fuzzy. So when manager Joe Girardi used A-Rod as a pinch-hitter Wednesday night, giving chanting Fenway fans what they wanted, Rodriguez was booed heartily, gave a mighty swing … and flied out to right field.

England international Kane has been in imperious form again this season, leading the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 goals. His consistency over the past four seasons has made him one of world football’s hottest properties, and Ferdinand - who played for Spurs between 1997 and 2003 - is concerned his former club might not be able to resist a huge offer for the 24-year-old. Speaking ahead of the London Football Awards (LFA), Ferdinand told Omnisport: “When you have a talent like that, teams will come calling, and will Tottenham be able to resist those teams?...

Ferrer, twice a quarter-finalist at the grasscourt slam, was leading 3-0 when Belgium’s Darcis cried off with a back injury. Darcis, who once beat Rafa Nadal at Wimbledon, is the eighth player to retire in the men’s singles at this year’s championships. Two players - Martin Klizan and Alexandr Dolgopolov - failed to complete their matches on Centre Court against Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer respectively on Tuesday. Unseeded Ferrer will play either Czech Tomas Berdych or American Ryan Harrison in the third round....

Sundance Veterans came to the 2002 festival with modest expectations. Last year’s dramatic competition had been the strongest in years, unveiling such gems as “In the Bedroom,” “Memento,” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” “L.I.E.,” “The Deep End” and “The Believer.” The law of film-festival averages says lightning can’t strike two years in a row. At midpoint in the festival, it’s safe to say the law is right. But if nothing has generated over-the-top excitement, there’s plenty of good work on display....

That doesn’t mean the diagnosis shouldn’t be considered in men, though. After all, according to National Fibromyalgia Association estimates, 10 percent could mean one million men are living with illness. Often Overlooked Because of gender disparity, we know a lot more about how fibromyalgia affects women. Many studies are done with exclusively female participants and most healthcare providers have a lot more practical experience with female fibromyalgia patients. A lot of people, and even some healthcare providers, erroneously think that men don’t get fibromyalgia....

MORE: Week 14 NFL Power Rankings As of Thursday morning, NFL Network’s Courtney Fallon said “everything is still frozen” despite heaters being installed. The turf heaters are turned on, but it appears there’s still trouble getting the field in peak condition in the frigid temperatures. Even if they do get the field fixed, players won’t enjoy the weather, as the Kansas City Star notes: “Kick-off temperatures are expected to be about 20 degrees, but the wind will make it feel like its in the single digits....

When you drink to excess, your liver goes into overdrive to process the alcohol from those delicious beers you consumed, filtering the alcohol, which acts as a toxin. Because of this, the liver becomes less efficient, and is less able to process fat into energy, meaning more of it will stick around your midsection. Combine this with a drop in metabolism as you age and you get a beer belly. [2] X Research source...

The exemption—which includes those who are “voting, assisting a voter, serving as a poll watcher, or actively administering an election”—was challenged in order to create “practical and constitutionally-required measures that both protect the public health and guarantee the right to vote” to all Texas citizens, specifically Black and Latino citizens who have been disproportionately affected by the virus. U.S. District Judge Jason Pulliam ruled that the exemption “creates a discriminatory burden on Black and Latino voters” and imposes a “voting practice or procedure which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of Black and Latino citizens to vote on account of race or color”—a violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965....

Wolf’s potentially invalid ascension was revealed in an August report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which said Wolf and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli were promoted because of an “invalid order of succession.” Under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, individuals within the DHS had been improperly promoted since the 2019 departure of former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Neilsen. After the GAO report, an amicus brief was filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James and other attorneys in a Maryland lawsuit....

Federer, peerless this year after returning from a six-month injury absence, broke once in each set for his fourth consecutive victory over Nadal, though the Spaniard still leads their career head-to-head record at 23-14, due entirely to his superiority on clay. Federer, now a three-time Miami winner, leads 10-9 on hardcourt. The 35-year-old Swiss, showing no sign of losing his edge, improved to 19-1 this year, winning the Australian Open in five sets over Nadal, and BNP Paribas Open in straight sets over fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka....

The Swiss recovered from losing the second set to cruise through the decider and set up a last-16 meeting with Fernando Verdasco. Federer, in his first outing since a surprising fourth-round loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Australian Open in January, is chasing an eighth title at this event - a crown which would deliver his 100th on the ATP Tour. Kohlschreiber briefly threatened a first career triumph against the 20-time grand slam champion at the 14th attempt but the second seed proved too strong for the world number 31 in the final set as he advanced to the last 16....
