Ed and Becky Fotheringham’s 1926 farmhouse in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge isn’t big–about 1,750 square feet. And they’re not rich. He’s a freelance illustrator from Australia. She cooks, gardens and cares for their two kids, Anna, who’s 5 years, 9 months old, and Joe, who turns 3 next month. She also lets Ed know when he’s talking too much. In other words, they’re normal. Yet their home is a design miracle: it’s kid-friendly and effortlessly cool....
Belarus holds elections on Sept. 9. Will they be rigged? Well, duh. Lukashenko’s not about to be ushered out the door like Slobodan Milosevic. As he recently put it: “There will be no Kostunica in Belarus!”

The video shows security guards grabbing and forcibly removing local parent, Dave Calus, from the Webster School Board meeting on Tuesday. Posted on Facebook by the ROC for Educational Freedom Public Page, the video has been shared over a thousand times, sparking renewed outrage over COVID-19 school measures as New York Governor Kathy Hochul said Wednesday that she’ll re-evaluate the masking requirement in early March. The Webster Police Department posted a statement to Twitter Wednesday, saying its officers weren’t directly involved in the altercation, but that school resource officers helped de-escalate it....
While the American public and political leaders have long lamented the exodus of American manufacturing overseas, rarely has it put us in mortal danger. But the COVID-19 pandemic shows how the departure of one specific sector—pharmaceuticals—has left the U.S. dangerously exposed, at a fearsome cost. It has literally cost us lives. The U.S. Government and private industry need to immediately recognize this problem and join together to create a new plan to build and protect manufacturing of life-saving medication domestically....
During a press conference on Wednesday, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) confirmed that it had recovered at least 157 runaway and missing juveniles as part of a search called “Operation Carolina Homecoming.” The department said that its Missing Persons Unit had recovered more than 130 children in the first four months of the year, according to the Charlotte Observer, before finding an additional 27 between April 26 and May 7....
Officers have quit in protest of calls to “defund” the police, which includes cutting salaries and cutting jobs for as many as 100 police officers. Interim police Chief Adrian Diaz said the department’s reduced numbers have led to a “staffing crisis.” During last year’s large protests, City Council members and others criticized the department’s responses, including being too aggressive and quick to use tear gas on protesters. One candidate for Seattle’s primary mayoral race is City Council President M....
“Unsafe Spaces: Ending Sexual Abuse in Universities” also highlights the role of “lad culture” in sports societies and the reluctance of universities to take action against academics for fear of losing their “star performers” as further compounding the problem. In one of the incidents highlighted in the book, a student was repeatedly raped by an eminent professor but felt unable to report it for four years. The actual number of incidents of sexual abuse and harassment could be far higher than the number reported to universities due to underreporting from students, the book concludes....
Living conditions initially designed to be temporary stop-gap solutions are turning into a permanent reality for many former inhabitants of cities such as Kharkiv, Severodonetsk, Lysychansk and Sloviansk. Newsweek spoke with elderly aid recipients who have been resettled into temporary housing in Lviv. One was Hanna Ivanovna, who left her apartment in Kharkiv after Russian airplanes bombed her neighborhood in late February. “All we could do was crawl towards the wall and lay down....
Nearly 20,000 pharmacies, clinics and pediatricians across the country are administering the shots after the official federal clearance on November 2. Around 700,000 first-shot appointments have also been scheduled for the coming days. Children who receive their first shot of the vaccine by next week will be fully vaccinated against the virus by Christmas. This initial surge was expected due to the long waiting period that parents had to endure before protecting their young children....
On this side of paradise, doing evil seems to come more naturally–and certainly more easily–than doing good. There are no innocents: we are all children of darkness struggling toward the light. This is why every religion aims at a radical transformation of the self and provides moral guidelines for becoming holy in God’s sight. Jews rely on the laws of Moses and the wisdom of the Talmud; Christians look to the teachings of Jesus, the guidance of the Holy Spirit and especially the power of transforming grace; Muslims seek transformation through total submission to Allah, guided by the recitation of the Quran and the example of Muhammad....
Jamshedpur were chasing the game, down 1-0, in the second half when the controversy unfolded. In the 76th minute, Hyderabad custodian Laxmikant Kattimani fisted away a free-kick from Aitor Monroy, only for his punch to hit his own player and bounce back into the goal. What should have been a legitimate equaliser for Jamshedpur was cancelled out by the officials. The linesman had his flag up, unclear whether it was for a handball or an offside on Jamshedpur’s Peter Hartley who was also challenging for the ball....
Don’t write off Wenger yet The German snapped a selfie in the Gunners’ changing room, with team-mate Danny Welbeck smiling prominently in the photo. Welbeck, a former United player, scored the second goal of the match to help secure the win for the Londoners, with Granit Xhaka having grabbed the opener. The result snapped a 25-match unbeaten run for United in the Premier League, and gives Arsenal renewed hope of a top-four finish....
Rowan County District Judge Kevin Eddinger accepted the plea Tuesday for driving 75 mph in a 65 mph zone from attorney T. Gregory Jones. Hairston, who didn't attend the hearing, was required to pay a $40 fine and court costs. Hairston was cited for driving 93 mph on Interstate 85 on July 28. The school indefinitely suspended the basketball star hours later. It was the third off-court misstep this offseason for the junior, who was twice cited in a month while driving a rental vehicle linked to a felon....
“Most major league executives we’ve talked to believe Sandoval will wind up with a five-year deal worth about $100 million,” Cafardo reports. “That could be with the Red Sox, Yankees or Dodgers.” The switch-hitting Sandoval, 28, has been a decent offensive player throughout his career – this year he posted a .279/.324/.415 slash line with 16 home runs and 26 doubles. But his numbers have been going down and then there’s the other issue: his weight....
Sandoval, the San Francisco Giants' third baseman, enters the final year of his contract. His arrival in Scottsdale, Ariz., created ripples because of his new fitness. Henry Schulman, beat writer for the San Francisco Chronicle is among the impressed. "Sandoval looks as good as I’ve ever seen him. The reports of his good new shape are not exaggerated," Schulman wrote. Nicknamed Panda because of his girth, Sandoval let his weight creep into the upper 200s in 2013....
Forecasters have said the system currently developing off the coast will in some ways rival the intensity of strong hurricanes from the Atlantic this season and rain will smash parts of California, Oregon and Washington. The term “bomb” cyclone is a relatively new one. It was used for decades among meteorologists to describe a rapidly strengthening storm, but only came into common parlance in 2018, the network KXLY reported....
Back on the field Monday, Quarless told reporters he was dealing with the death of his infant daughter, who did not survive birth last week. MORE: Notable sports deaths of 2015 “Andrew obviously has been gone because of what him and his family have been dealing with,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said last week, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “From a professional standpoint, you’ve got to make sure that he’s OK, and that’s the priority....
But that wasn’t the case in Thursday’s 34-27 loss to the Eagles. First, it was four plays from the 1, all incomplete passes, beginning and ending with short right misses to tight end Jimmy Graham, and a turnover on downs. Finally, it was two plays from the 7 — one 4-yard run and a rare Rodgers goal-line interception off a tipped pass. There has been a lot of finger-pointing to the play-calling by coach Matt LaFleur on the former series for letting Rodgers continue to throw the ball and not handing off once to running back Aaron Jones, who scored from three yards out early in the game....
There’s good reason for their fortunes to change in early 2023. Slapping triskaidekaphobia in the face, Sporting News is picking Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay to win Super Bowl 57. The Packers won the first two Super Bowls and another much later with Brett Favre. It’s now been 12 long seasons since they last took home the trophy named for their great, late leader Vince Lombardi. It’s only fitting that with No....
