The rest of the awards certainly proved that. Early buzz suggested that awards might go to such mainstream movies as the Coen brothers’ wry, violent “No Country for Old Men,” which stars Javier Bardem, or Natalie Portman for her blazing performance as a scatter-shot Las Vegas gambler in “My Blueberry Nights” or David Fincher as best director for “Zodiac,” but all went home empty handed. The jury instead went small and esoteric in its choices, causing some festivalgoers to scratch their heads....

But here we are, and the fair-haired Swede is just a few short months away from being crowned as the top rookie talent with the Calder Memorial Trophy at the annual NHL Awards ceremony. Pettersson, or “Petey” as he is known amongst teammates, has quickly become a league-wide sensation; not bad for a kid some felt needed to bulk up from the 161 pounds he was listed at prior to the draft....

When Carter announced in 1975 that he was running for president, voters in the North found his speech patterns jarring. When North Carolina Sen. John Edwards announced his candidacy Thursday morning on the “Today” show, his strong Southern accent was music to the ears of Democrats. Since the rise of the Republican Party in the South, the only way a Democrat can crack the GOP lock on the region is by being a favorite son....

The key contenders are California Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer. While Pelosi’s supporters are pressing for an early vote, Hoyer backers seem in no hurry to bring the contest to a close. An election that pits one member of Congress against another traditionally combines the intrigue of the Kremlin with the popularity antics of a race for student council president. Pelosi has gotten 90 of her colleagues to sign a letter supporting her; Hoyer has 71 signatures....

Voters have no tolerance for politicians who ally themselves with the Muslim community. McKinney was easily defeated despite a 10-year record of delivering for her constituents. Perhaps she could have ridden out a remark she made suggesting that President Bush knew more about the potential for a terrorist act before 9-11 than he let on, but when word spread in her suburban Atlanta district that Nation of Islam leader Louis Farakhan would be coming in to campaign for her, McKinney had handed her opponents the weapon they needed to end her political career....

According to a release from the DOJ, 33-year-old Edward Kelley was detained in Knoxville, along with 26-year-old Austin Carter, in relation to several charges including conspiracy and retaliating against a federal official. Kelley was also arrested in May by federal law enforcement, accused of assaulting a Capitol Police officer and damaging the Capitol while supporters of former President Donald Trump breached the building on January 6, 2021. After facing charges, the DOJ said, Kelley “obtained a list of law enforcement personnel” involved in the investigation....

Abual-Ragheb warned “Civil War” is coming after the Capitol riot and was sentenced to 36 months probation, the first two being served in home detention. Abual-Ragheb sought to delay her sentence until January 1 so she could move to a new home and “handle her holiday obligations as a mother to her children.” The government opposed delaying her sentence and Judge Carl Nichols denied her request. Nichols noted that the conditions of Abual-Ragheb’s probation doesn’t bar her from seeking a new residence during her period of home detention....

The plant-based meat alternatives are made with the protein by the company behind Burger King’s Impossible Whopper and White Castle’s Impossible Slider. Carl’s Jr., Denny’s and Dunkin’ are also among the fast-food chains producing meat alternatives, though these chains use Beyond Meat’s protein in their products. While many plant-based alternatives at fast-food chains are not vegan-friendly, these latest creations are at least vegetarian and aren’t the first vegetarian-friendly sandwiches at Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop....

The attacks began at around 11 a.m. Sunday and continued for several hours until Tobias Gutierrez, 42, was arrested, according to TV station KOB. He reportedly surrendered to approaching police officers without incident. The victims included someone who was eating inside a restaurant and a person who had just been involved in a car crash, KOB reported. All 11 people who were stabbed were hospitalized. The Albuquerque attacks follow incidents of violent crime reported in other cities across the country in 2022, and they have created a political issue for officials in places like New York as well as for the Biden administration....

The footage shows a black vehicle driving through a crowd with one man hanging onto the hood. The man then falls off the car as it continues down the road but manages to briefly stay on his feet. The car then swerves towards the male protester and knocks him to the ground. The vehicle then drives away down the street, prompting a large crowd of protesters to attempt to chase after it....

But Watt’s question featured higher stakes in that, one, the snake was in his bathroom and, two, it was a baby rattlesnake. There is some debate as to whether a baby is more dangerous than an adult, but the fact remains: It was a scary situation for Watt, who hails from Wisconsin and has little experience in dealing with snakes.

After all, Murray had played a key role in the comeback. The talented quarterback led the Cardinals to 16 fourth-quarter points that included a game-tying touchdown and 2-point conversion as time expired in regulation. Naturally, Murray wanted to celebrate after cornerback Byron Murphy returned a fumble recovery 59 yards for the winning touchdown, breaking an NFL overtime record for the longest scoop and score. He opted to do so by running over to a Cardinals fan he saw sitting in the stands at Las Vegas’ stadium....

Cardinals starter Lance Lynn is one of those five. “That’s pretty cool, to be able to play in one when you’re 12 and then be able to make it to the major leagues and play in one there,” he told Sporting News this weekend. “It’s definitely a cool feeling to know I played in both of those.” Lynn was part of the 1999 Little League World Series, on the U....

Matheny had some thoughts, of course. MORE: Rodon called up by White Sox | Ned Yost ejected | Mets lose Blevins, d’Arnaud “Yeah, and I think they probably have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder, too, because I don’t think they’re getting the credit maybe some of these other rotations are getting,” Matheny said. “That’s always good.” Let’s be honest. Athletes and managers are always on the lookout for a bit of extra motivation....

“People of color have the right to do everyday activities and should not be subject to being harassed due to someone’s racial bias,” said Shamann Walton, one of supervisors who signed for the new legislation, to CBS channel KPIX 5. “911 calls and emergency reports are not customer service lines for racist behavior,” said Walton. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will vote today on a law to allow racially motivated targets of 911 calls to sue the person who reported them....

With the laps winding down, Edwards nursed his fuel mileage and watched surrounding top-10 drivers pit for gas. He thought he might be the one closest to the front who could push through to the end, but he was wrong and finished second.

New general manager Ron Francis, who took over for former Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford last week, also relieved assistants Dave Lewis and John MacLean of their duties. Goaltending coach Greg Stefan will be reassigned. The only survivor is long-time Hurricanes player Rod Brind’Amour, who suited up for the Canes from 2000-'10. Francis was quoted on Hurricanes.com saying: “We thank Kirk, John and Dave for their time and effort during the past three seasons,” said Francis....
