On Monday, the zoo said the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ board of directors denied its “strong appeal” looking to get back its accreditation or to postpone the issue until next year. Therefore, the zoo is not allowed to apply for accreditation before September. The accrediting group said it has concerns about the zoo’s animal programs department and the unethical business practices of its former management. The Ohio attorney general’s office is also in the midst of a review of the zoo....

Posting to TikTok last week, Ron Ervin told Webber: “Surprise, b**ch—a challenger has appeared.” So far, the post has received more than 2 million views and over 314,000 likes. “This guy has a queen-sized mattress in his apartment,” said Ervin in reference to Webber. “If I brought a queen-sized mattress into my New York apartment, it would crush me to death.” To prove his point, Ervin gives viewers a “grand tour” of his apartment, which essentially looks like a hallway with a door....

Other skilled impressionists say Hillary’s lack of a distinctive accent (her husband’s), facial tic (Dubya’s squint) or memorable phrase (“Wouldn’t be prudent”) has made her tricky to capture. “There aren’t a lot of sharp angles to Hillary,” says former “SNL” star Ana Gasteyer, who played her prior to Poehler. Teresa Barnwell, a professional Hillary look-alike since 1993, doesn’t even try to imitate her voice, focusing instead on a perfect haircut, a black pantsuit and an eerie physical similarity....

Don’t get it twisted, I wouldn’t want to be anyone other than Nick Birdsong (OK, maybe I’d like to be LeBron James or Michael B. Jordan or the Prince of Zamunda), but my point is that my life, like anyone else’s, is awesome when I’m doing what I want to do. MORE: 2015 Fantasy RB Rankings | MLB Prospect Rankings So often, though, we find ourselves doing what others want us to do because it’s part of not being a horrible human being....

Born in London, Mehmet was eligible through his maternal grandmother, who had moved from Ireland to England before his mother was born. Fourteen years after that game against Poland, he made his international debut for Northern Cyprus in the CONIFA World Football Cup. It was the latest step in a long footballing journey for Mehmet, who was unlucky not to add a senior Ireland cap to his six Under 21 appearances....

Online features in past Pokémon games only allowed players to trade and battle one another, but the latest Nintendo Switch titles now allow trainers to team up for a common goal. And with the current coronavirus pandemic keeping everyone at home, a new initiative called “Community Raid Hour” is leveraging these Max Raid Battles to bring players together during these uncertain times. “We all tried to think of ways to bring the community together and distract us, and this was one of the ideas,” Joe Merrick, webmaster of Serebii....

A three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals denied to lift a lower court order that stayed Reeves’ execution in a 29-page opinion. The defendants in the appeal were the commissioner of the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) and a warden at Holman Correctional Facility, Cynthia Stewart, the opinion said. “Given the record in this case, the district court did not abuse its discretion in granting Mr. Reeves’ motion for a preliminary injunction,” Appellate Judge Adalberto Jordan wrote....

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, under a new policy passed by the Chicago Public Schools Board of Education, schools in the city that teach fifth grade or higher must make condoms available for students in schools. The Sun-Times reported that the condom availability policy will apply to all but a dozen of the city’s 600 public schools. While speaking with the Sun-Times, Maria Serrano, whose daughter is a sophomore in high school in Chicago, criticized the decision by Chicago Public Schools and said that schools in the city should be more focused on providing students with sexual education....

At William Hill U.S., Kansas, Michigan State and Kentucky are all getting more than 80 percent of bets, both in tickets and money count. Two underdogs getting some love are LSU and Seton Hall. More picks: UNC-UVA | Kentucky-UGA | LSU-A&M | WVU-KU | SH-Nova | MSU-Maryland The only games in which the ticket count favors one side but the money bet favors the other — sometimes an indication of sharp money — are San Diego State giving 4....

Never mind the fact that all their predictions proved wrong in New Hampshire. The problem with Nevada is an entirely new set of circumstances: the state’s first early presidential contest, which all three top-tier campaigns are contesting vigorously. The wide-open nature of the competition has left strategists second-guessing the most basic decisions–from the tone they take against their rivals, to the best way to spur voter turnout. The most recent polls suggest either a 2-point lead for Obama or a 3-point lead for Clinton, with Edwards trailing in third but within the margin of error....

The lawyer is back, like one of her bad hairdos from the 1990s. Clinton was bruised in last week’s Democratic debate in Philadelphia because she seemed trapped in a series of fuzzy nonresponses that might have worked in opaque corporate legal filings at the Rose Law Firm but sounded evasive and mealy-mouthed in politics. Her rivals pounded her for what John Edwards called “double talk.” It reminded me of when President George H....

Meijer, who was recently sworn in to represent Michigan’s 3rd congressional district, made the claims while writing about the “heinous assault” which occurred on Wednesday, January 6, as Trump supporters, extremists, and followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory stormed the Capitol in what lawmakers say was an attempted coup. In an opinion piece for the The Detroit News, Meijer recalled how he had “assured my colleague we would be fine” even after they were unpacking gas masks and taking cover under bulletproof chairs as the violent mob tried to gain entry in to the chamber....

The 42-year-old Indiana congressman had responded to the U.S. surgeon general congratulating Dr. Rachel Levine on her promotion in the U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps by writing: “The title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man.” Levine is the first openly transgender four-star officer in the U.S. uniformed services. She is also the nation’s assistant secretary of health. The post was removed and Twitter suspended his account on October 23....

After months of bubble hockey, the Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning will vie for Lord Stanley’s Cup. While a team-first mentality is always the key component to a successful postseason run, there are a few players who have risen to the top for the coveted Conn Smythe Trophy, given to the best player in the postseason. Entering 2020, only five Conn Smythe winners have claimed the award without being on the winning team, and this could be the year we see that happen again....
