“I’ve seen triple plays, but none quite like that,” Dodgers left fielder Matt Kemp said Tuesday night. “I guess there’s a first time for everything.” The Indians turned an unorthodox triple play that required a pair of video reviews at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers opened the bottom of the fourth with a double by Josh Beckett, followed by a bunt hit by Dee Gordon and an RBI single by Yasiel Puig that chased starter Justin Masterson....
“This is part of a deal between the authorities and Abu Bakar,” his lawyer said breezily after one interrogation last week. That cavalier attitude is only one reason that Indonesia is shaping up as the weakest link in the war on terror in Southeast Asia. The borders of the sprawling archipelago are difficult to police. Corruption is endemic. Officials are leery of offending the country’s 200 million Muslims with a public crackdown....

Why Induce Labor? Typically, contractions occur naturally and start the process of labor. Healthcare providers may induce labor if: Labor hasn’t started on its own. There are concerns for the pregnant person’s health. There are concerns about the baby’s health. There’s also research that suggests that inducing labor in people who are at 39 weeks into their first pregnancy may reduce their risk of needing a cesarean. It can also reduce the complications that come with that type of birth....
This article explains how you can spot and treat an infected hangnail at home, when to see a doctor, and how to prevent these infections. What Is a Hangnail?

Andrew Parlin, founder and chief investment officer at Washington Peak Investment Advisors in Princeton, New Jersey, said Fed Chairman Jerome Powell underestimates the inflation threat. Powell is betting that a 6.5% annual growth rate, a 4.5% unemployment rate and inflation at about 2% will allow the nation’s central bank to keep interest rates low through 2024. “If this policy stance seems incongruous, that’s because it is,” Parlin said in an opinion column published in Britain’s Financial Times....
The Sunset Grill in Goochland brought in the fee, writing on their menus: “With the skyrocketing costs of goods, materials & labor, we have found it necessary to add a 3.5% inflation fee in lieu of consistently raising menu prices. We hope you understand,” CBS 6 in Richmond reported. The restaurant’s balance sheet has been hit by supply chain issues, the rising cost of goods and a drop in demand from the pandemic that has not fully recovered....
The Republican senator—a member of the negotiating team—told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday she believes the bill will find enough support to avoid further partisan conflict over President Joe Biden’s $1.2 trillion proposal. “We’ve been finishing up the spending provisions, the appropriations provisions and marrying them to the bill, and we really are just about finished. But large parts of text have already been shared with Senate offices,” Collins said....
The sale of Neymar in August, couple with the failure to bring in top targets like Marco Verratti and Philippe Coutinho, left fans frustrated. Double defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa was another ominous sign, while Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu was hit with the possibility of a censure motion led by former election hopeful Agusti Benedito. Messi 7/2 to be CL top scorer Amid all of that, a terrorist attack in the city centre rocked the club and the violence by Spanish police against Catalan citizens in an attempt to halt Sunday’s independence vote brought Barca back into the eye of another whirlwind, as the board decided to play their Liga fixture against Las Palmas behind closed doors....
Iniesta, 32, came through Barca’s famed La Masia academy, and has enjoyed a trophy-laden career at the La Liga giants. The Spain international, who is contracted until mid-2018 but is yet to renew, said his desire was to be a one-club player. “Anyone can guess but I have been clear about this [my renewal]. Now the only thing I am worried about is our title aims,” Iniesta said on Thursday....
Ozil sat out Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Burnley on Sunday, with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger revealing that the former Real Madrid man would miss the remainder of the Premier League campaign with the problem. That has led some in Germany to speculate that he could miss the World Cup in Russia, but the player himself took to Twitter to calm any concerns as well as joining the tributes for Wenger following his final home match in charge....
The French centre-back looked visibly uncomfortable towards the end of the first 45 minutes, and was seen grimacing after a challenge on Pere Pons. And after going down the tunnel at the break with Madrid 1-0 up, Varane did not make an appearance for the restart. Nacho was drafted in to replace Varane, who was making his 200th appearance for the club, with reports of an adductor injury in his right leg, although the severity of the problem is yet to be disclosed....
The “Yonaguni” hitmaker has surprised fans with the chance to spend a night in his big rig trailer truck via Airbnb. The singer’s 53-foot matte black semi-truck will be open to guests during the last stop on his El Último Tour Del Mundo 2022 tour in Miami—and it costs just $91 for the night. The reasonable price is a “nod to his record-breaking 9.1 billion Spotify streams in 2021.”...
Philly finished with 88 points a year ago, seven behind the Maple Leafs, who snagged the second and final wild card spot in the competitive Eastern Conference. Not even a ten-game winning streak earlier in the season, though, could propel the Flyers past their minus-17 goal differential, subpar goaltending, and mediocre play of the team’s biggest star, Claude Giroux, and into the post-season.

No players were on the field, but close to 23,000 fans poured in to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium anyway. There was more than a problem. This looked like a potential PR disaster for the NFL. Sure enough, the Green Bay-Indianapolis preseason opener was canceled because of “conditions of the playing surface in Canton.” How bad was it, really? What’s the face value of faux outrage about a preseason game?...
What I Want to See … Last week I called out the Bucs to show me something after their epic beat down against the Falcons. They beat the Steelers outright. This week, the big question marks sit in the NFC South. The Saints, Falcons and Panthers all lost badly last week. Now, the Saints host those Bucs as huge 10-point favorites, the Panthers host another team off a bad loss (Bears) as a shorter home favorite, and the Falcons are underdogs to the Giants, who are coming off their huge win over the Redskins....
Let the politicians duel over new laws that would require everything from trigger locks to licenses–laws that have almost no chance of clearing Congress this year. The fact is that change is already coming to the gun world. With Bill Clinton promising more prosecutors, Project Exile is likely to expand to other cities before the year is out. Meanwhile gunmakers are joining forces with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to keep high-tech records of most guns manufactured in the United States....
What type of weapons do you think Iraq now has? I think there’s a very, very high probability–close to a certainty–that they have regenerated chemical weapons, both mustard and nerve agents, and biological weapons, both toxics and bacteriological weapons. The issue of uncertainty is whether they’ve gone into viral weapons and made substantial progress in nuclear weapons. Do you think it’s possible to make inspections work? I think our objective has to be clear and agreed upon....
When purchasing your new vinyl replacement windows, always use the smallest height and width measurements you recorded. Otherwise, your window will be too large. For a correct fit, the replacement window should be approximately 1⁄4 inch (0. 64 cm) narrower than the opening width and height. If your window measurements are in between sizes, round the measurement down. If your windows are an unusual size and a corresponding size of replacement window is not in stock at the home-improvement store, ask about custom ordering the vinyl windows....
