“He jumps off his left foot, which is how most right-handed people jump," Redick said, via The Orange County Register. “Their left foot is their dominant foot. He shoots every single jump hook, and (Monday), running hook, with his right hand. He finishes around the basket with his right hand. He’s really good at it.” MORE: NBA trade deadline winners and losers But Jordan shoots his free throws (badly) left-handed....
"Everybody's going to have to pick it up if he can't go," Hoiberg told The Des Moines Register. Kane is a game-time decision for the Cyclones because of a sprained left ankle. He left Saturday's game against Oklahoma — Iowa State's first loss — with 22 seconds to play. X-rays were negative and there was no structural damage, the Register reported. Hoiberg said he wouldn't rush Kane back into action....
Williams dyed some of his dreadlocks pink last September after his mother’s succumbed to the disease, but the change wasn’t reflected in the video game.

Along the way, Emily in Paris treads the fine line between being set in the real world and taking place in complete fantasy land. Emily in Paris is more than aesthetically pleasing. It has high fashion, a talented (and attractive) cast, and in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, audiences can switch off and escape to Paris for 30 minutes at a time, whenever you want. What’s not to like?...

Puller’s life and death touched millions, in part because he bore the name of his late father, a Marine general who retired in 1955 as the most decorated soldier in the history of the corps. Puller, with a different kind of military distinction thrust on him, did not shy from its burdens. “He was monstrously disfigured,” says Sen. Bob Kerrey, who met him in the Philadelphia naval hospital where they were both recuperating....
While New York is home to between 6,000 and 8,000 black bears, the majority reside in two of the state’s three major mountain ranges, the Catskills and the Adirondacks, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Staten Island has no known bear population, so the cub’s sudden appearance has thrown both local authorities and residents for a loop. Some, including wildlife expert Kelly Simonetti, believe that the cub is native to New Jersey or Pennsylvania....
But amidst the global threat that is Xi Jinping’s modern, hegemonic Chinese Communist Party, perhaps now is the time to revisit those 1970s-era decisions. Should the U.S. now formally establish relations with Taiwan—or would doing so risk an unprecedented, disastrous conflict with a rising People’s Republic of China? For the latest Newsweek “Debate of the Week,” author, commentator and Newsweek columnist Gordon G. Chang debates Council on Foreign Relations adjunct senior fellow and NYU School of Law professor Jerome A....
Democratic Senators Ron Wyden (Ore.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Bob Menendez (N.J.) and Chris Van Hollen (Md.) introduced the bill on Wednesday. While many Americans have already received the $1,400 payments or are expected to soon, lawmakers and advocates have expressed concerns that those with debts could be vulnerable to garnishment from debt collection companies while they desperately need the relief that the checks are intended to provide amid the COVID-19 pandemic....
“At the time we thought ‘Wow, we can consolidate our accounts and pay off our debt’,” says Davis, now 29 and a customer-service representative for a major movie studio in California. But a few months after the couple signed up with the Germantown, Md.-based nonprofit debt consolidator Ameridebt, Davis says her creditors still had not received any of the more than $2,700 she had sent to Ameridebt. “We’d been had,” says Davis, who refused to make any more payments and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau alleging her creditors not only had not been paid, but most had not even been contacted by Ameridebt....
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) said in a press release on Wednesday that they are appealing for information about the killing, which happened on the night of December 9 in Springfield, Lane County. An image posted by the ODFW showed the deceased buck as it was found with its head decapitated for a trophy. The state wildlife authority said that the poacher shot the deer and severed its head before leaving the scene in a white pick-up truck....
I’ve used several robot vacuums over the years, but I’ve never been impressed by any of them. It’s probably because most of them have been value-priced and very simple, so they required a lot of intervention and moving of objects before they could bounce around the room. Still, I’ve held out hope that these types of devices would improve dramatically. Maybe you’ve felt the same? After getting a new dog, I decided to jump back into this category of products for the singular reason of being unable to keep up with constant cleaning of pet hair on the floor....
Texarkana, with a population of 54,287, is literally a city divided against itself. State Line Avenue runs down the middle, with Texas on one side (dry and full of churches) and Arkansas (Wet and full of liquor stores) on the other. Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., just 30 miles away-a coincidence that has local heads shaking in bemusement. The Perots lived on the Texas side, at 2901 Olive Street....

But will the gulf war prove a bonanza for defense contractors? Not likely, experts agree. A few companies may pick up new contracts, but overall spending will drop sharply. This war is being fought almost entirely out of inventory, with little apparent need to replenish weapons. The budget deficit and the end of the cold war translated into a firm agreement last year to cut real defense spending by 25 percent over five years....

Yi and 30 of his classmates moved to Little Zhang Village after graduating this summer. Now they spend their days hanging out in Internet bars, waking each other up to go to job fairs, swapping job leads–and helping each other out with grocery money. “It’s just too competitive this year,” Yi said of his job hunt. “I feel guilty because I’ve graduated and still have to spend my parents’ money....
Answers by Delanie Walker, NFC champion with the 49ers (2012) What do coaches and players do with the extra time during a Super Bowl’s halftime? In a normal halftime, guys come in and the first thing they do is get their headphones on to start listening to a little bit of their music before we have our coaches come in from upstairs in the press box, and offense goes to one side, defense goes to one side, and the coaches give us our adjustments....
The news comes as Hartsfield-Jackson, the busiest airport in America by passenger traffic, gears up for a potentially massive holiday travel season. The airport was previously the busiest in the world until COVID-19 brought things to a rapid halt. Delta has set a target date for the program’s launch in early November and plans to have the facial scanners in place until at least June 2022. The technology, which is the result of a partnership between Delta and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), will also aim to create a cleaner and more sanitary airport environment in the era of COVID....
In an internal memo obtained by Newsweek, Delta CEO Ed Bastian told all employees Thursday morning that customers who choose not to comply with the airline’s mask mandate “risk losing their future flight privileges with Delta.” The airline has already had a few situations in which a passenger refused to follow safety requirements, Bastian wrote. “We have already banned some passengers from future travel on Delta for refusing to wear masks on board,” the memo stated....
