OK, a year ago the San Diego Padres’ most significant offseason roster addition was journeyman righthanded starter Jason Marquis. The hope was that a decision to adjust the outfield fences at Petco Park would make the ballpark a bit more accommodating to the offense. So much for that idea. San Diego’s 618 runs scored in 2013 were the second fewest in the 10 years since Petco opened. The rotation, meanwhile, had a 4....

For the Goedkens, suffering had been a private matter. Six of the seven sons inherited hemophilia, almost exclusively a male disease; one died at the age of 11. Their childhood was a cycle of cuts and bruises, then profuse bleeding, then transfusions. The pain in their joints was so intense that at night they howled into their pillows. Their sisters used their own pillows to shut out the moans. Their mother tried to accept the affliction as God’s will....

As you well know, the fallout from the recent rugby Autumn internationals had a variety of repercussions for the teams involved.

Honorable Captain of Team India, I know you are troubled by the difficult situation your team is in and the growing criticisms in the media, but I would be obliged if you find some time to read this letter from a die-hard cricket fan and a huge supporter of Team India.

But in between those boundaries, how often they rotate strike and the amount of dot balls they face would truly give us an insight as to why they have been this prolific, which is what this article would focus on....

The discovery was made after local resident Félix Alarcón spotted some shards of pottery on the seabed in Palma in July, the Balearic Institute of Maritime Archaeology Studies (IBEAM) said. The Spanish government then enlisted the help of the IBEAN for an emergency excavation, to ensure the rare artefacts weren’t plundered before they could be recovered. A team including underwater archaeologists and naval architecture specialists, with the help of the Spanish Navy and the Civil Guard, found the sunken vessel a few meters off the coast of S’Arenal beach, one of the most tourist-heavy areas of the Balearic Islands....

The human genome project has been a veritable treasure trove for scientists trying to tell the story of humankind’s migrations out of Africa. A couple of terrific books have chronicled this, and the use of genetics to reconstruct human history was a focus of a cover story we did last year. The fun part is when genetics throws a wrench into supposedly settled accounts, and that’s what a paper posted today in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics does....

Trying his hand at golf after the team’s 31-run victory in the opening Test against India, Anderson’s swing went horribly wrong and the ball rebounded off a tree before hitting him straight in the face.

It’s the latter of these that hasn’t been explored much at all since the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. That film saw the defeat of the First Order, and although The Mandalorian has Empire soldiers and promises to show that future regime’s origins, it’s more about the Mandalorians as a group, along with the lead character’s relationship with Grogu, more than anything else....

Smollett, who was convicted Thursday of lying to Chicago police, testified that he had put the noose back on after the attack in Chicago in January of 2019 so responding police would see it. “As an African American person, I’m not putting that noose back on at all,” Hope, 63, said in an interview with WLS-TV. Hope also said the evidence was overwhelmingly against Smollett. Two brothers testified that Smollett recruited them to stage the attack....
