Captain America, which first appeared in 1941, tells the story of a superhero who fights for his country, often against World World II axis forces—Germany, Italy and Japan. Although the story was discontinued in 1950, it was later revived by Marvel Comics and made into several films. The violence at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. unfolded on January 6 after President Donald Trump held a rally nearby, once again claiming without evidence that the election results were invalid....

Auto enthusiasts who actually work on their own cars. Engine. “So what kind of lump ya got under the hood?” Mint-condition car (never “cherry”). A hundred pointer so perfect it’s worthy of exhibition at Pebble Beach. Air conditioning (rare in antique cars). “All show and no go”–a car that is never driven on the street after it’s restored. Looks restored–from 10 yards away. A hefty or slow-looking car with a real rocket of a lump....

The car likely slid off the road due to the snowy and icy conditions, Portland Fire & Rescue said. Authorities said the vehicle was heading south on the span of Interstate 205 that connects Oregon and Washington before it careened into the river around 6 p.m. Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Sergeant Brandon Pedro said the marine unit was dispatched to the bridge’s midspan, according to Oregon Live. Divers with the county and the U....

Does any part of him regret that he did not enter the draft a year ago and participate in the NFL Scouting Combine back then? MORE: NFL Mock Draft 2016 | STEELE: Somebody will panic, reach for QB “Of course not,” he said. He saw no need to elaborate, although eventually he did. It seemed ludicrous at the time, the notion that Jones would enter the draft having started just three games in his college football career....

After notifying the team of shoulder discomfort, Garcia was scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday. MORE: Cardinals bold predictions | SN manager rankings | CarGo leaves Rockies game with knee discomfort Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said the latest development with Garcia will cause the team to slow things down as the pitcher works his way back to the St. Louis rotation. “Now it’s a ‘hit the brakes,’” Matheny said Saturday, per Derrick Goold of the St....

As they prepare for Sunday’s game against the division rival 49ers, Arians began Wednesday’s team meeting by saying, “You ain’t s—.” MORE: Best photos from Week 2 | David Steele’s Week 3 picks | Vinnie Iyer’s Week 3 ATS picks It was a loud-and-clear message to his team to not get complacent after just two weeks. “I think Coach put it best to start the meeting off to put everybody in their place,” quarterback Carson Palmer told reporters....

Arians, 63, was taken by ambulance from the Cardinals and Chargers’ joint practice Tuesday after experiencing stomach pain.

Team lawyer James G. Martin told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Correa had been fired after an “imposed leave of absence” but did not specify the reasons for the dismissal. MORE: Are the Cardinals really THIS good? A source told the Post-Dispatch Correa has acknowledged playing a part in the ongoing hacking scandal, but said he accessed the Astros’ records only to confirm they had stolen proprietary data. The source also said Correa is not responsible for other intrusions into the Astros’ system being investigated by the FBI and did not leak any data....

“Just to chase an outfielder now because we were looking at Heyward is not something we’ll probably do," Mozeliak said. “There’s going to be speculation over the next two or three weeks but my focus now is going to look more on what we could do to continue to ramp up pitching.” MORE: What’s next for the Cardinals this offseason? The Cardinals were spurned as Heyward took less guaranteed money to sign with the rival Cubs, but with three star outfielders remaining on the free-agent market in Justin Upton, Alex Gordon and Yoenis Cespedes, the Red Birds do have plenty of options even though they appear happy to have Randal Grichuk and Stephen Piscotty join Matt Holliday in the outfield for 2016....

A pass into the end zone from Kyler Murray whizzed past the Cardinals wide receiver’s helmet and into the hands of Packers defensive back Rasul Douglas. Green, clearly, did not think he was the primary target on the play, because he had his back to the ball. The mixup ended Arizona’s bid for a game-winning 99-yard touchdown drive in the closing seconds and, by extension, a perfect season. The Cards (7-1) walked off 24-21 losers to the Pack (7-1) in a “Thursday Night Football” thriller to open Week 8....

St. Louis’ defense, a unit that was expected to do big things this season, has finally started to live up to the preseason hype. They’ve collected a league-leading 18 sacks over the last four weeks while opponents have only scored 31 points during that span, including back-to-back shutouts and holding Peyton Manning and the Broncos to 7 points. We expect their success to continue at home against a Cardinals team struggling offensively with injuries (RB Andre Ellington and QB Carson Palmer are on IR; WR Larry Fitzgerald is hampered by a knee sprain) and ineffectiveness....

The numbers are staggering. At the end of 2006, the United Nations was assisting nearly 10 million refugees and 13 million “internally displaced persons,” people who had fled from conflicts to another part of their country. The common thread is a sense of uncertainty and dependence, particularly when people are forced to live in camps. Camps are never intended to be permanent. Yet, all too often, people remain trapped in limbo as conflicts drag on and once-thriving communities disintegrate....

“How to Be Useful” draws on a century’s worth of career advice–from Andrew Carnegie and Dale Carnegie (not related) to Helen Gurley Brown and Stephen Covey. But Hustad’s book is more than an I-read-this-so-you-won’t-have-to exercise. She believes there is plenty of career gold in these mines, and she intersperses her readings with anecdotes from the contemporary workplace. Hustad spoke with NEWSWEEK’s Daniel Gross about the clichés of the career canon, what it takes to get ahead in the “creative industries” and the delicate art of managing your first boss....

The moment came during the annual “Stand Up To Cancer” MLB All-Star Game presentation. Fans around Cleveland’s Progressive Field held up signs showing their connection to the disease, which afflicts almost 2 million new people in the U.S. each year. Players held up signs on the diamond. Carrasco held a sign that read “I Stand,” while Francisco Lindor, Carlos Santana, Brad Hand, Shane Bieber and manager Terry Francona held signs that read “I Stand Up For Cookie” — a reference to the right-hander’s nickname....

Just hours after the decisive defeat, Queiroz posted a goodbye message to the players and staff of the Egypt federation. The loss, which came after a 1-0 defeat on the day and a 1-1 draw on aggregate, came just over three weeks after Queiroz’s Egypt were defeated by Senegal on penalties in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. The two defeats were eerily similar, both coming on penalties and both finished off by a spot-kick from Sadio Mane....
