Former Jeopardy! champ Schneider took the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Pride Day at San Francisco’s Oracle Park, ahead of the San Francisco Giants facing off against rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, her big moment was not aired by the broadcaster, which instead showed NASCAR driver Kurt Busch making a ceremonial toss—which he did at the same venue on Thursday, ahead of the hosts’ game against the Colorado Rockies....

Schumer returned to SNL to host for the third time at the weekend, and made a couple of eyebrow-raising jokes, including a reference to the upcoming “midterm abortions.” A reference to Ye’s recent alleged antisemitic comments got a laugh from the studio audience on Saturday, but others have expressed fury online. Schumer was talking about Autism Spectrum Disorder, which was previously known as Aspergers. “But then they found out, and this is true that Dr....

My semester abroad would be more than simply exporting Wesleyan University to another dot on the globe. It would be a chance to quit philosophizing and see the world in action, a chance to run from the experienced and instead experience myself. “Send me an e-mail, stay in touch,” my friends said as I hugged them goodbye. “It’ll only be a few months, what can happen?” I left for Cape Town on Sept....

RELATED: What is Control? Meanwhile, developer Remedy Entertainment previously revealed that it doesn’t take too long to beat Control. The game is estimated to take around 10-15 hours for an average playthrough, which is considered short for today’s gaming standards. Control will also feature some Stanley-Kubrick style horror elements, combined with a good balance of action. In our review of Control, we were impressed with the overall experience it provided, despite some minor technical problems....

Much like this month, there will be six PC games up for grabs, with Batman: The Telltale Series - The Enemy Within and RAD headlining the fresh batch of titles. They’ll be joined by The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature, Tales of the Neon Sea, Automachef, and Portal Dogs, as well as a range of free in-game bonuses for titles like Grand Theft Auto Online, Sea of Thieves, Warframe, League of Legends, and Epic Seven....

The trailer itself shows off a better glimpse of the title’s world, with the game seeming like a mix of a number of different genres and styles. The footage highlights classes that utilize guns, swords, hammers, spears, and even magic, making the title appear like a fairly broad MMO mixing pot that allows users to play however they choose. They’ll need these weapons badly, however, as the title appears to be flooded with a number of different ghouls, monsters, and giant beasts....

But the league also shows a modern flair. America’s opponent this week, Club Tijuana, was founded in 2007 and already has a league title to its name. Meanwhile, the soccer being played is some of the most advanced in the region, while young players take advantage of opportunities and put their own flavor into the stew that is the long history of Mexican professional soccer. These contrasts on the field and off it are what makes Mexico such an intriguing location, as a soccer league and as a nation....

Since the new coronavirus was first identified in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, in late 2019, a total of 351,731 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University and indicated in the Statista map below. Of those, 81,000 were reported in mainland China, out of a population of 1.4 billion people, over a period of three months. More than 3,200 people have died....

This year it’s Club America and Pumas meeting in the first round of the playoffs after the Apertura’s meeting between America and Cruz Azul. That contest resulted in a pair of scoreless matches with America moving on thanks to being the better team during the regular season. Las Aguilas summarily defeated Tigres 4-0 on aggregate in the next leg and went into the offseason seeking reinforcements. Those players arrived with Jeremy Menez, Andres Ibarguen and Henry Martin boosting the attack - at least initially....

The 26-year-old American had a two-round total of 7-under 137 Friday on the Sentosa Golf Club’s Tanjong course. There was a five-way tie for second —Inbee Park (69), Azahrara Munoz (68), Jodi Ewart Shadoff (70), No. 1-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn (71) and No. 3 Minjee Lee (71). After an eagle on the par-5 eighth on Thursday, Olson did the same on the par-5 fifth in the second round. “I’ve made some pretty good shots on both those par fives to set them up,” Olson said....

So why is my father so excited about Air America? Because whatever his faults as a political thinker, Dad (not his real name) is a great man when it comes to faith in his son’s abilities. “Why do they need Al Franken when they could have you?” my father was saying the other day. “You’re the only liberal voice I can listen to. You’d be great on that station.”...

The drug, of course, is caffeine. And, according to a new book that I read one night last week when I couldn’t sleep because I had been drinking too much coffee, caffeine is making me smarter, wittier, thinner, more productive, more fun at parties and (appearances to the contrary notwithstanding) sexier. “Caffeine is a safe, almost magical tool for releasing our hidden potential,” according to “The Caffeine Advantage,” a new book/rationalization by noted coffeeholics Bennett Alan Weinberg and Bonnie Bealer....

When the dust settled, it turned out that Councilman James E. Davis had been killed by a political rival who had gotten his gun into City Hall because he had accompanied the councilman, who waved him past the metal detectors–a common courtesy in a profession filled with glad-handling and back-slapping. Because this is America, where attention spans are probably not even long enough to finish this sentence, the next day’s coverage of the Davis killing focused only on Davis’s act of courtesy and not on the actual accessory to the crime: The legally purchased gun in Othniel Askew’s pocket....

More than anything, this is due to the show’s theme, which has been summed up by many with the phrase: “All monsters are human.” In other words, the driving point of all the storylines in AHS is the point that — though we tend to focus our fears on the monsters we see in our minds — the real monsters in life are people that do bad things.

Baquer Namazi, 84, is in urgent need of surgery to clear up a severe blockage in the main artery that supplies blood to his brain, according to his son, Babak, and the family’s lawyer, Jared Genser. The potentially life-saving surgery is required within seven to 10 days, prompting pleas from the family and supporters for Iran to release Baquer Namazi from custody, the Associated Press reported. “My father has already lost so much precious time....

The Kentucky Derby winner will face a bevy of stiff competition this week at Pimlico, as several horses from the Run for the Roses – hailed as having one of its best-ever fields – will take another shot at beating the Bob Baffert trainee. Firing Line, who finished second in the Derby, Dortmund (3rd), Danzig Moon (5th), Materiality (6th) and Carpe Diem (10th) are all expected to run in the Preakness....

In a CNN interview that aired on Wednesday evening Eastern Time, Tsai Ing-wen said the troops—previously reported as special forces instructors—were part of Taiwan’s various military exchanges with the U.S. “We have a wide range of cooperation with the U.S. aiming at increasing our defense capability,” the president said. Asked for a precise number, Tsai added: “Not as many as people thought.” Department of Defense figures show just over 30 U....
