Williams ran for a staggering 6,279 career yards and 72 touchdowns in four seasons. He added another 85 receptions for 927 yards receiving. He won the Heisman in 1998 when he ran for 2,124 yards — a season after he totaled 1,893. Peterson kicked off his career with a monster freshman season not seen since Herschel Walker led Georgia to the national title in 1980. Peterson ran 339 times for 1,925 yards and 15 touchdowns....
Completing the changes is defender Kenneth Omeruo who replaces right-back Abdullahi Shehu, joining the duo of Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong in a three-man defence as the German tactician reverts to a 3-5-2 formation. Musa and Iheanacho will spearhead what promises to be a pacy, dynamic attack, with Victor Moses hoping to replicate his performance as a right wing-back at Chelsea in Nigeria’s eye-catching kits. Brian Idowu provides the needed width on the opposite wing....
The 20-year-old forward has started to slip down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium, with competition for places fierce in Pep Guardiola’s squad. Toure feels Sterling should’ve dived He did start the season in fine form, netting three times in his opening six appearances. There have been just three more goals since then, though, as his game time has dwindled. The arrival of Gabriel Jesus at City is threatening to block his path further, with Iheanacho failing to make the matchday squad for Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham....
Illinois’ thrilling 65-64 victory over No. 23 Missouri on Saturday provided more than adequate entertainment, though Illinois fans left with a bit more of the holiday spirit. There’s an intense history between these two teams. The triple-overtime game exactly 20 years ago — Missouri won, 108-107 — is still discussed in this town with hushed, reverent tones. Before that, Illini stars Kenny Battle and Andy Kaufmann — no, not that one — fueled Illinois' eight-game winning streak in the series (1983-90)....
The billboards feature a photo of Cuomo and the word “IMPEACH” in large red letters. They also note that they were paid for by Brian Oleson. He owns an Albany gun shop, American Shooter Supply. Cuomo has faced widespread criticism after revelations that New York had underreported COVID-19 deaths in the state’s nursing homes. Separately, a former aide has accused him of sexual harassment. Local media reported that Oleson explained his reasons for putting up the billboards in a Facebook post....
Biden is, quite simply, a man unsuited to meet the challenges of the present moment. He is out of his league and, one hopes sooner rather than later, will find himself out of political time. Indeed, there is a compelling case that that time is right now. The way that Biden has handled America’s (admittedly long-overdue) withdrawal from the backwater of Afghanistan has been so inexplicably botched, so patently dripping with gross malfeasance, and so clearly subversive of his solemn constitutional oath and his foremost commander-in-chief prerogative that the proper short-term remedy is obvious: impeachment....
For the British military, one more ruined Christmas should pose no hardship. From the Balkans and East Timor to Congo and Sierra Leone, the apostle of intervention, Prime Minister Tony Blair, offers their services and the international community eagerly accepts. Result: a peacetime Army operating at full stretch around the world. Some would say overstretch. It’s all an echo of bygone days of empire, when Britain bestrode the world, exporting Eurocentric civilization and dashing hither and thither to put out colonial brush fires....
Overview The latency period for cancer is defined as the amount of time that elapses between the initial exposure to a carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) and the diagnosis of cancer. For example, you are probably familiar with cigarette smoking as a risk factor for lung cancer. The latency period, in this case, would be defined as the length of time between the onset of smoking, and the later development and diagnosis of lung cancer....
For a great new era, the Football Federation of Australia and those involved with the game in the 21st century do seem to enjoy regressing to the old Soccer Australia world of personal interest and political games. Of course this month’s football of choice is the Wellington Phoenix, a club (it should be reminded) that is one of only two A-League sides never to require a bailout from the FFA....
The Jameis Winston-less Seminoles lost a little steam this weekend in a too-close-for-comfort 23-17 overtime win over Clemson. It was their first real test against a formidable opponent this season, and the schedule strength (or lack thereof) so far was reflected in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll, released today.

While Toronto hockey fans have been waiting on Shanahan and this new Leaf regime to deliver on its stated ultimate goal — ending Toronto’s Stanley Cup drought before it reaches a sixth decade — the team has taken many leaps toward mounting that summit. And on Sunday, it took its biggest yet by luring uber free agent John Tavares away from the Islanders, and are now in a legitimate position to contend for hockey’s grandest prize....
The Hill/HarrisX poll released Friday found that 6 percent of voters aged 18 to 34 said they would not vote, compared to 4 percent in the same poll from one week earlier. The number of women who said they did not plan on voting was 5 percent, moving from 3 percent the previous week. Although a large majority of younger voters taking part in the poll said they would vote in the election, they were still the least likely of all age groups to indicate they would participate on both weeks of polling....
The company launched its first iPhone at the Macworld convention of 2007 held in San Francisco, and claimed it would revolutionize the cell phone industry. Ben Wood, Chief Analyst at CCS Insight says the iPhone has come a long way since its inception. He told Newsweek: “When Steve Jobs walked onto the stage in January 2007 and pulled the iPhone from his pocket, little did we know the impact the device would have....
On Tuesday, the Saints said they wouldn’t refund fans who won’t comply with this year’s COVID-19 regulations. Those who want to attend games will either have to be vaccinated or provide proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test. Saints officials suggested that fans that didn’t plan on complying with the rules sell their tickets on a third-party website. But in a statement on Thursday, the team said it would offer refunds this season....
But fast forward to 2022 and the pendulum has swung hard in the opposite direction. Today, in the name of “equity,” there is a major push to incorporate elements of the thinking that was pervasive in the Jim Crow era into today’s K-12 schools, but this time from people who cast themselves as social justice warriors, who are bringing race-conscious schooling back in the name of fighting racism. Many school districts now promote racial affinity groups, which the Great Schools Partnership defines as “a group of people sharing a common race who gather with the intention of finding connection, support, and inspiration....
Recognizing the needs of families with service member’s deployed, the Department of Defense is setting up a new set of advisers tasked with evaluating the issue. As part of the 2008 Defense Authorization Act, money has been designated for a group of senior enlisted advisers, and spouses of senior enlisted service members. Each year the group is required to submit a report outlining its assessments of the family readiness program....
Is the procedure right for you? There are some big advantages: with the virtual colonoscopy, there is no risk of perforating the colon, no need for intravenous sedation and you won’t have to take a day off work or recruit someone to drive you home. But there are downsides, too. You still need the colon cleansing the night before, which many people consider the worst part. The cost, which averages about $1,000, is not covered by insurance....
Aspirations to climate leadership are faring little better in Europe. Germany’s new traffic-light political coalition—the red SPD, the yellow Free Democrats, and the Greens—is making the Paris climate agreement its top priority. In April, Germany’s constitutional court ruled that its 2050 net-zero target was so distant that it violated the freedoms of young people. So, along with Sweden, Germany became the first country to legislate a 2045 net-zero target. Yet the new German government’s net-zero plan, as outlined in the coalition agreement, may as well have been designed to worsen Europe’s current energy crisis and sink its largest and most successful economy....
Such are the ways of round-robin competition. Muguruza remained undefeated, while Petra Kvitova took advantage of Angelique Kerber’s loss to reach the tournament’s semifinals. MORE: Ronda Rousey circus | Serena Williams on Black Lives Matter In what is being seen as a breakout event for the 22-year-old Spanish player, Muguruza moved to 3-0 by defeating Kvitova 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. It was her toughest match yet, setting up a match against Agnieszka Radwanska....
Researchers concluded that air pollution, and especially pollution from ozone, accelerates the incidence of emphysema, a condition where the fine air sacs embedded in the lungs start to deteriorate, preventing oxygen from properly entering the bloodstream. Over a 10-year time span, if ozone levels in a city are just three parts per billion higher than a comparable city with no ozone increase, that increases a person’s risk of emphysema as much as if they had smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, every day, for 29 years, according to the study....
