On Monday, Teigen issued a lengthy apology in a Medium blog post, in which she stated that she was “truly ashamed” of her “awful” tweets, which targeted a then-teenage Courtney Stodden a decade ago. However, conservative commentator Owens took to Twitter late Monday to hit out at Teigen, accusing the star’s “team” of deleting “negative comments” from her Instagram account, “to create the illusion that the world is forgiving her....

USA Today Sports asked Alvarez what he would say if Mayweather called him up to inquire about his availability, and he responded by saying “anytime he’s ready.” Join DAZN and watch Canelo plus more than 100 fight nights a year “I’ve always had that little itch for (a rematch) since way back, and now I’m more experienced and more mature," Alvarez said. “It’s a fight that maybe will happen and will be a great experience....

With such a big fight with so much on the line, there are bets to be made — so let’s take a closer look at Canelo vs. Jacobs. Canelo Alvarez vs. Daniel Jacobs betting odds FanDuel’s online sportsbook has Alvarez as a sizable favorite (as of May 2). The logical theory is oddsmakers regard Alvarez as one of boxing’s best, as he continuously comes out on top in high-profile bouts....

Canelo (WBA, WBC and The Ring) and Saunders (WBO) will put their super middleweight titles on the line in an attempt to unify the title. Whoever wins Saturday’s match will likely turn to Caleb Plant, owner of the IBF belt, in September. But first, the matter at hand. Canelo (55-1-2, 37 KOs) will look for his seventh consecutive victory after his split-decision draw with Gennadiy Golovkin in September 2017. Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) will risk his undefeated record in an attempt to claim Canelo’s belts....

How It Works Seizures are caused by erratic electrical activity in the brain that can spread and cause uncontrolled physical movements and/or alterations of consciousness. Most anti-seizure drugs work by slowing down excitatory nerve activity in the brain. However, LGS and Dravet syndrome may be treated with medications that aren’t commonly used for most types of epilepsy. Additionally, they often require two or more anti-seizure drugs for seizures to be under control....

The study involved 24,089 people aged 15 and above, who filled out the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey on Mental Health. 420 of the participants had been previously diagnosed with PTSD, a form of anxiety disorder triggered by traumatic experiences such as violent assaults, serious health problems and accidents. People with the condition may have debilitating symptoms where they relive the traumatic experience in flashbacks or nightmares, struggle to sleep or concentrate, and have physical reactions such as sweating, pain, and nausea....

Attendance at Safeco Field fell to 1.7 million last season after topping 3.5 million fans twice at the beginning of the century. So the Mariners needed to restore baseball buzz to a market where the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and MLS Seattle Sounders, playing across the street, became more popular. A team that has not made the playoffs since the 116-win season of 2001 ended with an ALCS defeat to the New York Yankees needed to become relevant again....

The aftermath of the attacks of September 11 highlights the need for more U.S. aid to conflict-ridden, poor countries. President George W. Bush, who once derided nation-building as idealism gone awry, now supports continued U.S. involvement in Afghanistan–if only to prevent a next generation of Osama bin Ladens from emerging. Still, foreign aid is a hard sell. “People hate it,” says Albright. She suggests a name change that would take into account America’s new needs and erase the stigma of foreign aid....

Polling done for the Democratic leadership shows that voters are disbelieving when told about aspects of the GOP plan to revive the economy. Sixty-five percent oppose abolishing the corporate minimum tax, and are flabbergasted when they learn the plan passed by House Republicans would provide corporate tax rebates going back to 1986. “They think it’s a joke,” says Miller. Thirteen blue-chip companies would get more than $100 million each; IBM’s check alone would top $1....

Karl Rove showed misplaced indignation when asked about his meeting with Intel Corp. executives seeking help with a merger. Rove, who owned $100,000 of the company’s stock at the time and stood to gain financially if the merger went through, surely must appreciate the delicacy of his situation. Yet he chose instead to attack the messenger, accusing California Rep. Henry Waxman, ranking Democrat on the Government Reform Committee, of stopping at nothing in pursuing his political opponents....

Rebegila was arrested on Monday, two months after the FBI interviewed someone who said they saw a video he took inside the Capitol. He later deleted the video in an effort to evade trouble but denies that he stole a bottle of liquor from an office, as someone alleged, or that he destroyed property or hurt a police officer to get into the building. “Rebegila stated in sum and substance that he arrived at the U....

The 57-year-old former Marine was arrested on February 3 after a grand jury indicted him on January 29. Prosecutors accused him of grabbing a police officer by the head, repeatedly hitting him in the face and then hitting him with an uppercut punch. Prosecutors also accused Lopatic of stealing and disposing of another police officer’s body camera in an attempt to hide evidence of himself and the other rioters....

Partially skewing those numbers is the fact that four of the cases that came before Obama-appointed judges were felony cases, so it was unlikely for defendants to avoid jail. Trump-appointed judges have not sentenced anyone who pleaded guilty to a felony charge, yet. However, even without those cases, Obama-appointed judges handed down jail sentences more frequently than Trump-appointed judges. Judges appointed by Trump or Obama sentenced 53 Capitol rioters over the past year, 49 of which pleaded guilty to misdemeanors....

In many ways, Deutsch is like the ads he creates. Irrev-erent. Straight-talking. And, sometimes, just a little over the top. One of the creators of Bill Clinton’s ““For people. For change’’ commercials, he recently became the first mainstream agency head to use a gay couple in a television spot. His offbeat ““Mr. Jenkins’’ ads for Tanqueray Gin have become conversation pieces. This year, Advertising Age magazine named his firm ““Agency of the Year....

Rashford is slowly growing into a valued first-team player at Old Trafford and is currently enjoying his holidays ahead of the 2017-18 season. Ronaldo & Messi: Changing the face of football However, team-mate Anthony Martial could not let an opportunity to tease the 19-year-old slide when he posted a picture of himself appearing to steer a boat. The France international branded the striker “Captain Marcus” to which Rashford responded “Captain Martial” suggesting an inside joke between the two young pretenders....

According to the Wall Street Journal, the tab for the weeklong extravaganza came to $2.1 million. Investigators are still trying to establish whether Tyco paid half of it. Then there was the gold-and-burgundy floral-patterned shower curtain costing $6,000 that the couple installed in their New York apartment at company expense. A $6,000 shower curtain is so over-the-top that it makes the $600 toilet seat that symbolized Pentagon excess in the 1980’s seem almost reasonable, even after adjusting for inflation....

There is no conclusive proof as Yet that the World Trade Center explosion was caused by such a device. But it suggests the random terror that can fill even peaceful moments in Lebanon, or in Medellin or Belfast, with terrible fears. That Americans have had so little experience with these horrors on their home turf is largely a matter Of luck. As leftist radicals proved in 1970 when they blew up an army research center at the University of Wisconsin, the expertise required to make an effective bomb is minimal....

The new highly anticipated video was directed by Tanu Muino and is the follow-up to the hugely successful and controversial “WAP.” The song dropped on streaming platforms on Friday morning but the video—which is steeped in 90s-style music video visuals—had already reached more than 2.1 million views on YouTube at the time of publishing, just five hours after it dropped. The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, has said the track is inspired by the Chicago drill scene....

The two sides were about a milllion dollars apart during negotiations. Jay wanted $5 million this season while the Cardinals were offering $4.1 million. They settled on $10.975 million overall, with Jay getting a $1.25 million signing bonus and $3.5 million salary this season and a $6.225 million salary next year, according to ESPN.com. Jay, who will be 30 in March, has hit .295/.359/.396 in five seasons with the Cardinals....

Mathieu ended up deleting the tweet shortly after he hit send, but not before people saw it and took a screenshot. MORE: Cutler injury update | Carson Wentz joining elite company The Cardinals defender wasn’t the only one to mock Cutler on Monday night. After the Bears quarterback had his 86th career fumble, and then threw an interception, social media had fun teasing him. Cutler’s “don’t care” look has made him the butt of many jokes, and it will only continue as long as he plays as poorly as he did Monday night....
