Albanians trapped inside Kosovo now face an insidious new enemy: hunger. “We figure now there are some 820,000 internally displaced people inside Kosovo, many, if not most, corralled into pockets by Serb security forces, largely cut off from any sources of food or supplies,” said the NATO military chief, Wesley Clark. Refugees who crossed into Albania last week gave now familiar, but still terrifying, accounts of growing hardship–rape and mass executions....
“I think our core understood how painful the loss was last year; we didn’t want that feeling anymore,” Wilson said of that postseason exit (via WNBA.com). Nearly a full year later, she has found redemption. Wilson and the Aces captured the first title in franchise history on Sunday night, defeating the Sun to close out the 2022 WNBA Finals. But that ring didn’t just fill in the only gap on Wilson’s incredible basketball resume....
Dimon, 64, released the 23-page letter to shareholders on Monday, which Bloomberg News reported was his shortest since 2008. The CEO has led JP Morgan Chase, the largest and most profitable U.S. bank, for 15 years. “At a minimum, we assume that it will include a bad recession combined with some kind of financial stress similar to the global financial crisis of 2008,” Dimon wrote. “Our bank cannot be immune to the effects of this kind of stress,” he cautioned....
Nothing undermines W more than reminders of Florida, and he’ll hear plenty more when Congress returns after Labor Day. America, it seems, can capture space dust from the beginning of time and pop a plastic heart into a dying man, but we haven’t mastered the science behind counting paper ballots. According to researchers at Caltech and MIT, some 4 million to 6 million votes were lost in the last presidential election....
Overnight Tuesday, the temperature dropped to around -10C (14F) in parts of the country and forecasters said the cold will feel even more severe when combined with the wind chill. A significantly colder air mass is bringing the lowest temperatures in several weeks to the region, with CNN reporting that at night, wind chill factors will be in “teens below zero.” While the brutally cold spell is an unneeded obstacle for the thousands of Ukrainian citizens desperate to escape the hostilities, it could also wreak havoc on Russian troops....
Monday in Queens began with rain, and there were snowflakes mixed in along with them. The morning was gray and dreary and brought the feeling that nothing would ever change, that this seemingly never-ending winter in the Northeast would, indeed, never end. Then the sun poked out, and before you knew it, there was not a cloud in the sky when the national anthem was sung before the Mets played the Nationals....
The movie concerns a crass American researcher (Aaron Eckhart) and an uppity British academic (Gwyneth Paltrow) who plod through the love-hate mating dance while attempting to prove that a legendary Victorian poet and famously devout husband (Jeremy Northam) actually did some bodice ripping on the sly with a minor poet (Jennifer Ehle). LaBute hurries between love stories. Paltrow and Eckhart do some Nancy Drew sleuthing and some wooden emoting. The dead poets come to life, but get so little screen time that their strand of the movie plays like a trailer for a Merchant-Ivory picture....
By passing through smaller general-aviation terminals and controlling who is on the aircraft, executives can also reduce their potential exposure to COVID-19. This added benefit, which may mean an earlier return to business travel, is making the use of private aircraft much more attractive. For those who are new to business aviation or looking to expand their use of private aircraft, it pays to consider all the options. Chartering a different aircraft for each trip is a great way to try out business aviation because it gives you the ability to select a different size and type of aircraft, and there is no long-term commitment....
The states that have reported a higher number of deaths vary in size, geography and political leaning. Many relatively small, highly vaccinated states have reported a low number of deaths in both 2020 and 2021. Maine has seen the highest percent increase at 33 percent, according to the CDC data. In 2021, it reported 697 deaths, up from 465 in 2020. Deaths peaked in the state in January, when 245 were reported....
That seems to be Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon’s thought process given his boastful statement last week: “I think we’re the best receiving corps in the league, in my opinion, already. Just based off of talent alone.” Jarvis Landry, a veteran WR who should know not to stoke the flames, then piled on: “He ain’t lyin’. I think the capability of what we all can do is endless.” That’s the problem — Gordon and Landry are talking about capability and potential....
The tweet criticized Michael Bloomberg’s spending on his now-suspended presidential campaign, saying that the $500 million in campaign-ad spending could’ve instead been given to the 327 million people living in the United States, guaranteeing each person $1 million. Williams featured the tweet on his show, The 11th Hour, and he and his guest, New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay, took it at face value. Of course, the math in Rivas’ tweet makes no sense....
