Alvarez (55-1-2, 37 KOs) will put his WBA, WBC and The Ring belts against Saunders’ (30-0, 14 KOs) WBO belt in their super middleweight bout. But both fighters stand to come away considerably richer after their bout — understandable, considering it’s an early candidate for fight of the year. Here’s a look at how much Canelo and Saunders could earn, as well as each fighter’s net worth ahead of the fight:...

Late last year, the e-commerce platform Weedmaps approached NBC about running a spot during the big game and was rejected out of hand. “The answer was a hard no,” Weedmaps’ Chief Operating Officer Juanjo Feijoo told Adweek. “They wouldn’t even entertain the conversation.” This was despite the fact that Weedmaps isn’t really a cannabis company at all; it’s essentially a software and media company. It never goes near the plant itself....

The photo reveals the galaxy, known as NGC 4651, in all its glory, with its vast spiral arms clearly visible, and its galactic center shining bright. The galaxy, which can be seen the constellation Coma Berenices, measures around 50,000 light-years across and forms part of the Virgo Cluster—a large collection of more than a thousand galaxies. NGC 4651 is sometimes referred to as the “Umbrella Galaxy” due to a faint umbrella-shaped structure that appears to extend another 50,000 light-years from the main galactic disc....

title: “Caped Crusader” ShowToc: true date: “2023-01-19” author: “Opal Maust” For the last seven years, you heard of McFarlane only if you were an adolescent male somewhere between 13 and 30. Remember how teeny-boppers responded to ““Ladies and gentlemen . . . the Beatles!’’ That’s about the reaction at conventions McFarlane attends. But despite sales of 110 million comic books in 21 languages in 118 countries, along with 10 million toys, the Spawn niche is pretty much coextensive with acne....

• Buy stuff. Business owners can take a tax deduction of up to $125,000 for equipment they buy in 2007 without having to depreciate it, says Mildred Carter, a senior tax analyst with research firm CCH. That includes computers, cars and even the iPhone that you use exclusively in your business. You can buy it all on Dec. 31 and still have it count against your 2007 taxes, but why wait that long?...

People’s capitalism (so the story goes) is triumphant. More Americans have a stake in the nation’s businesses–and not just as wage earners. Class conflict and consciousness, always muted in the United States, will continue to subside. On a more practical level, owning stocks will (the story continues) enrich average Americans, because stocks do better over time than other investments. People can save more for retirement or college tuition by being in the market as opposed to buying bonds or holding cash....

Officers James Blassingame, a 17-year veteran of the Capitol Police, and Sidney Hemby, an 11-year veteran, allege that Trump “inflamed, encouraged, incited, directed, and aided and abetted” the mob that violently breached the Capitol building on January 6. The officers both say that they continue to suffer physical pain and emotional trauma from the attack nearly three months after it happened. The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, is seeking compensatory damages in excess of $75,000 for each officer and unspecified punitive damages....

Bush’s fate is tied to the outcome in Iraq, which continues to worsen. Two top Iraqi officials were assassinated in the last week; a bomb blast brought oil production to a standstill and dozens of Iraqis were killed and 100 more wounded by a bomb as they stood waiting at an Army recruiting station. Bush blamed the escalating violence on the approaching June 30 date to hand over sovereignty, as though the situation will improve once the interim government is in place....

Republicans also lost on smallpox as Democrats beat back efforts to limit the government’s liability in the stalled vaccination campaign. The Republican leadership couldn’t hold its members in the face of growing discomfort with President Bush’s domestic agenda. Cutting education and health care to make room for Bush’s tax cuts is tough enough. With veterans benefits, the GOP was cutting into its own core. “They’re scared to death we’re going to run the Reagan ad: ‘Are you better off today than you were four years ago?...

The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) honors women journalists around the world for the work they perform under the most daunting conditions. Among this year’s winners are Tatyana Goryachova from Ukraine, who had acid thrown in her face because of articles she had written about government corruption, and Manelos Monzon of Guatemala, whose house was broken into and car destroyed by machine-gun fire in an effort to keep her from writing about human-rights violations....

In South Carolina, where Thurmond is revered, politicians recoil from talk about a possible successor. Gov. Jim Hodges, a Democrat, says it’s “ghoulish” to speculate on who he might name to fill the seat should Thurmond leave the Senate. When Hodges was elected in 1998, and Strom was a month shy of 96, Hodges promised he wouldn’t appoint anybody who would then run for the seat-in other words, anybody with a political future....

Bush also flatlines funding for AIDS even though there are 40,000 new infections a year in the United States and medical inflation is pushing up costs for treatment. He’s also proposed a $7.5 million cutback in the Center for Disease Control’s program for breast and cervical-care screening, even though at the current spending level there’s only money to serve 15 percent of the women eligible for the service. How can this be?...

But before the final tally, Senate Republicans are expected to offer an amendment that would weld the various provisions of McCain-Feingold into an inseparable whole. It means that if the bill became law, and the U.S. Supreme Court were to find any one part of it unconstitutional, the entire measure would be thrown out. Right now, the bill includes a “severability” clause-as does most legislation-that would keep it on the books even if certain parts didn’t clear the constitutional bar....

He did it again this week when he left the campaign trail on the eve of Super Tuesday to return to Washington and vote on a controversial piece of gun legislation. The Democrats’ 2000 nominee, Al Gore, avoided gun issues for fear of alienating rural Southern voters. But Kerry was forthright. He came to the Senate floor and spoke forthrightly in support of amendments to extend the assault-weapons ban and close the gun-show loophole eliminating the waiting period to purchase a weapon....

It’s nearing the end of the second quarter filing period, and Democrats will measure who’s up and who’s not by how much money they raised in the last three months. The buzz is that Howard Dean will post over $4 million. Two rival camps privately predict that Dean will come close to $6 million. There is panic in the air. Democrats on Capitol Hill see Dean and his anti-war populist campaign as “McGovern Redux....

In a statement Thursday, the police chief noted the officer’s policing powers have been suspended. “The USCP had a robust plan established to address anticipated First Amendment activities. But make no mistake–these mass riots were not First Amendment activities; they were criminal riotous behavior,” said Sund. “The actions of the USCP officers were heroic given the situation they faced, and I continue to have tremendous respect in the professionalism and dedication of the women and men of the United States Capitol Police,” he added....

Morgan-Lloyd was arrested after she was recognized while trying to obtain a firearms permit and was accused of entering the Capitol, calling it the “best day ever” on Facebook. She agreed to plead guilty and took responsibility for her actions, telling the judge she felt “ashamed” that actions intended to support former President Donald Trump turned violent. “If every person like me, who wasn’t violent, was removed from that crowd, the ones who were violent may have lost the nerve to do what they did,” Morgan-Lloyd wrote to Judge Royce Lamberth....

Dramatic photos taken from the scene show a white Ford Escape almost completely inside the popular coffee shop, surrounded by shattered glass and window frames. Fire and rescue crews responded to the address around 3:15 p.m. on Coliseum Drive in Hampton. They discovered the car inside the store and worked to secure the scene and ensure the safety of those in the area. Members of the technical rescue team were seen surveying the damage and prying open the hood of the car....

Risk factors for carbuncles vary widely, from health factors such as being overweight or having diabetes to lifestyle practices such as using injectable drugs. Common Causes A carbuncle is a type of skin abscess. Carbuncles generally begin as furuncles—infections of single hair follicles and their surrounding tissues. As the infection spreads, it affects other follicles and extends into the deeper layers of the skin (i.e., subcutaneous fat). The infected mass develops several heads of pus....

A carcinoma is a cancerous tumor and the suffix “-oid” is used to indicate that something resembles something else. So, the term Oberndorfer came up with, “carcinoid tumor,” described a tumor that was “cancerous tumor-like.” In reality, carcinoid tumors are cancers, but the name “carcinoid” has stuck to this day. Carcinoid tumors develop from a certain type of neuroendocrine cell, which makes hormones that help regulate digestion. Although carcinoid tumors are the most common type of neuroendocrine tumor, they account for less than one percent of all colorectal cancers....
