The Flyers captain joins a plethora of NHL players this season who have joined the 1K list. Giroux was able to accomplish the historic feat at the age of 34. It very well could be Giroux’s last game ever in a Flyers uniform. The forward is expected to be moved at the deadline to a contender in an effort for the Flyers to gain assets back for the pending free agent and give Giroux a shot at a Stanley Cup....

"This thing is going to take some time," Mattingly said before the Dodgers played the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers said that after consultation with Dr. Neal ElAttrache and a review of an MRI scan, Kershaw will be placed on a rehab that includes a submaximal throwing program for the next two to three weeks. He will then be re-evaluated by ElAttrache to determine when he can start throwing at increased velocity....

Uiagalelei, a star at powerhouse St. John Bosco in the Los Angeles suburb of Bellflower, chose the Tigers over Oregon. The 6-4, 240-pound quarterback completed 69.6 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards as a junior, with 48 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Uiagalelei told fan site Tigernet.com he chose Clemson because of the culture, and that he committed to coach Dabo Swinney during a visit in April. “The coaches’ openness about Jesus Christ, and then ultimately being able to play on the biggest stage,” Uiagalelei said when asked about his decision....

James Skalski, a fifth-year linebacker and defensive team captain, was ejected in the second quarter after lowering the crown of his helmet and delivering a shot to the back of Buckeyes quarterback Justin Fields. The play caused Fields to stay down on the Superdome turf for several moments while trainers tended to him; during that time, officials reviewed the play and ejected Skalski for targeting. Here’s the play: MORE: Clemson-Ohio State score, updates, highlights...

In an extensive Q&A with Bleacher Report, Watson touched on range of topics including the Baylor scandal and his $10 million insurance policy. But arguably the most impactful answer he gave revolved around the notion he’s stereotyped as a dual-threat, run-first quarterback because he’s black. “People think, ‘Oh, he’s a black quarterback, he must be dual-threat.’ People throw around that word all the time. It’s lazy,” Watson said. “The one thing I learned early on as a football player is people have their opinions, and I can’t change them....

The Tigers (12-0) are trying to cap a fifth straight ACC title run that would continue with a fifth straight College Football Playoff appearance. Clemson has won 27 straight games, leads the nation in scoring defense (10.1) and ranks fourth in scoring offense (45.2), and Dabo Swinney is still playing the disrespect card. The Cavaliers (9-3) became the seventh different ACC Coastal team to win the division with a clutch victory against Virginia Tech in Week 14....

The Tigers held Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals in check two weeks ago, but struggled offensively for the first three quarters versus Boston College on Saturday. MORE: Hokies can bring big-game rep to Blacksburg After its win over No. 22 West Virginia, the Hokies have been on an offensive high, averaging 43 points per game since.

What It Does Beta agonists copy the effect of hormones called catecholamines—specifically epinephrine but also norepinephrine and dopamine. They act on the smooth muscle of the bronchi and bronchioles (the airways in the lungs), uterus, and the intestines as well as some blood vessels in the body by targeting beta adrenergic receptors in these locations. Beta agonists prevent smooth muscles from contracting. They sometimes are used as tocolytics, medications that can delay labor by relaxing the smooth muscle of the uterus....

He was planning to attend former President Donald Trump’s rally the day before, but was delayed by a car breakdown and arrived after the riot ended. Meredith’s uncle grew concerned about his comments in the Jan. 7 text, which also described Pelosi using a misogynistic term, and contacted his mother. His mother, troubled by his extremist posts on social media and mental health difficulties, notified the FBI. When agents found Meredith in the hotel, they also discovered thousands of ammunition rounds, a handgun and an assault rifle in his trailer, CNN reported....

Restricting guns is the last thing Emanuel wants to talk about now. An Illinois congressman, he helped Democrats take back the Capitol last year in part by recruiting pro-gun candidates. The effort was part of a larger push to reach out to gun owners who’d shunned the party. That may help explain the noticeable hush from Democrats in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shootings. Some Democrats have begun to sound a lot like Republicans on the issue....

Footage captured by another passenger on the Aer Lingus flight on Thursday morning showed the protester repeatedly apologizing to disgruntled passengers as he lectured them on climate change. They are heard urging the protester, a middle-aged man in a coat, to sit down as he repeatedly refused to follow an air stewardess’s request to take his seat. In a short clip, shared on Twitter by Warren Swalbe, a passenger is heard asking the protester: “How long are you gonna be, mate?...

It’s been a long, hard journey. When actor Vumile Nomanyama walked onstage during the show’s first performance in Cape Town two years ago, white audience members marched out in protest of a black man’s playing Jesus. But “The Mysteries” was designed to bridge racial and economic divides by drawing on common cultural heritage. And slowly, it seems to be succeeding. “Our task is not only building a new company but building a new audience,” says director Mark Dornford-May....

Once this season ends, Bowyer will move to Stewart-Haas Racing and replace Tony Stewart. His season, and all its frustration, will be over. MORE: Kansas starting lineup; green flag 2:31 p.m. ET Left without a ride after Michael Waltrip Racing folded, Bowyer hitched up with HScott Racing, a low-budget operation. Let’s just say the experience opened Bowyer’s eyes. Numbers don’t lie. This season, Bowyer has the worst points position (27), average start (30....

When George W. Bush “attacked” Obama in the Knesset yesterday, Clinton rushed to his defense. “President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of his failures in foreign policy,” she told reporters in Rapid City, S.D. “There is a very clear difference between Democrats and Republicans on foreign policy and that difference will be evident once we take back the White House....

Every intricate policy decision, major and minor, stops at the president’s desk. One key decision will be how to finance health-care reform, and last week various administration officials confirmed, denied, confirmed and then denied that they were considering a value-added tax, a form of national sales tax (page 46). The unfortunate tax-time discussion of new taxes began when Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala said that VAT was still on the table, a statement that annoyed staffers at the White House, who saw it as another example of Shalala’s political ham-handedness....

The roadblock was a 1972 “Dear Comrades” letter a Harvard researcher said he stumbled upon in the Soviet Communist Party archives in Moscow. In the letter, a top North Vietnamese commander, Gen. Tran Van Quang, purportedly revealed to his Politburo that Vietnam was secretly holding 1,205 Americans-not just the 591 freed the next year under terms of the Paris peace accords. The Pentagon now lists only 135 “discrepancy cases”-Americans classified as “last known alive” who never came home....

“If Mr. Sterling continues as owner, he does not want to continue as coach,” Richard Parsons said in court Tuesday, recounting recent conversations with Rivers. His testimony was a rare foray into the basketball side of the Clippers at a probate court trial that has focused on the narrow question of whether Sterling’s wife, Shelly, can sell the team for $2 billion to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer as the NBA looks to force Donald Sterling from the league over racist statements....

But... Just a few days after it looked like he was going to start the season in the minors, Webb was named to Chicago's opening day roster yesterday. Even before that move was official, White Sox mlb.com beat writer Scott Merkin Tweeted this: Well, I think we all know what happened next: I promptly put in a waiver claim for Webb, whom I had dropped just two days earlier.

While a face mask can help protect you from this smoke, the cloth masks many people have been wearing as a precaution against COVID-19 probably won’t get the job done, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Cloth masks that are used to slow the spread of COVID-19 by blocking respiratory droplets offer little protection against wildfire smoke,” the CDC states on a new section of its website dedicated to wildfires and COVID-19....

Russell was basketball’s ultimate winner, capturing 11 NBA championships over the course of his 13-season career as a player with the Celtics and two titles as Boston’s head coach. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a player and coach and named a member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. But his impact went well beyond the court. He was a leading civil rights activist during his playing days and continued to support the fight against racial injustice throughout his life....
