The Dolphins flunked their test. Miraculously, after Robert Mueller’s investigation into its handling of the Ray Rice situation, the NFL gave itself a passing grade, then congratulated itself on its excellent work. MORE: Peterson court date Feb. 6 | Hardy still collecting paychecks | Rice: ‘I made horrible mistake’ Stripped to its basics, the 65-page report (not including appendix) concludes: There was no smoking video delivery. Mistakes were made. We … cough, cough … they must do better....

The veteran coach was brought back for a third spell at the club after Carlo Ancelotti was sacked in September. Ancelotti’s exit was preceded by widespread reports of unrest inside the Bavarians’ ranks, and Muller affirms that his successor has brought the players closer together. “A jolt went through the team. I don’t know if Jupp Heynckes performed magic, but with the change of the coach responsibility was pushed onto the team,” the Germany international told Goal ....

Bayern were upstaged by rivals Dortmund in last season’s semi-final but the Bundesliga champions exacted revenge on Wednesday with a 2-1 victory at the Allianz Arena. Centre-back Jerome Boateng and Muller scored in the first half as Bayern moved into the fourth round. Bayern have won 15 of their past 16 matches – and six in succession – since head coach Jupp Heynckes replaced Carlo Ancelotti in September Speaking afterwards, Bayern forward Muller told reporters: “A little turbulence at Bayern Munich is exactly what the media wants....

The “Pre-Crime” unit in this future D.C. boasts that it has reduced the murder rate to zero. Its system depends on three psychic “Pre-Cogs” who can project images of crimes just before they happen. Chief Tom Anderton (Tom Cruise) is the first to see these images. It’s his job to decode the information as quickly as possible, locate the site of the crime and rush with his armed team to prevent the murder....

On Tuesday night, Saltz tweeted that he’d gone to the museum but wasn’t allowed in. “Museums are strict about enforcing their Covid rules. I visited the @newmuseum today and the would not let me in because I had not pre-booked. My bad,” he wrote. Sharing a photo of himself posing with his mask around his arm outside the museum, Saltz joked about leveraging his success in the art world. “There wasn’t a soul in the lobby....

Vanunu, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, is due to exit Ashkelon prison on April 21 and wants to emigrate immediately to the United States. But in the waning months of his 18-year sentence, Israeli officials are quietly considering meting out more punishment for the whistle-blower. According to a report confirmed by security sources, some people in the defense establishment want to invoke an arcane regulation to prevent Vanunu from ever leaving the country....

DeMarco Murray, RB, Cowboys. Murray’s six consecutive 100-yard rushing games to open a season just matched a feat accomplished by Jim Brown, the best player in NFL history. When Brown pulled it off in 1958, he ensured he would repeat as the league’s first-ever most valuable player. That’s not the only great on-field company Murray is keeping. His 785 yards have him on pace for 2,093 rushing yards, just short of what fellow former Oklahoma Sooner Adrian Peterson put up in 2012 during his MVP campaign....

But I found myself in a store a few weeks later, buying a knit cap for Fluffy, my daughter’s stuffed Webkinz golden retriever—whose only real value is its online avatar, hence the laptop. And I started thinking about why it’s so hard to resist buying too many presents for your kid. I really would like to cut back on the gifts. I aspire to send a dozen fuzzy chicks to an impoverished family in Africa, to make a personal sacrifice for soldiers off fighting a war, the way the March family did in “Little Women....

A start-up, as everyone in the New Economy knows, is chaotic, relentless and exhilarating–often in the sheer impossibility of trying to keep up. There are few rules for coping, but among those I’ve learned: (1) The job you were hired to do is not the one you end up with, or at least not the only one. I was hired to be an editor; right now I’m also a fact checker, copy reader and data-entry specialist....

Then, in 2001, I was traveling through Switzerland. A few of us decided to investigate the water temperature of Lake Lugano, on the Italian border. My friend fell into the lake and couldn’t get out. The hero in me ran to assist her, but I slipped on some mossy cobblestones and soon found myself in the emergency room in Lugano. When I saw my X-ray and the look on my friends’ faces, I knew the situation was bad....

When I was born, the specialists said I was an exceptionally lucky boy because my case was mild. Many babies with arthrogryposis are born with no limbs, severely deformed limbs or are permanently wheelchair-bound. Luckily, I am able to walk. I only have abnormal knee growth, dislocated hips and tightness in my joints and muscles from my hips all the way down to my feet. The tension is much like arthritis—I can be in pain at any time for no apparent cause....

She had a rudimentary colostomy with some complications, but Mary Sikora Hurd lived long enough to meet my sister and me. I remember her clearly and fondly. She got to live her full life. It was 40 years before another tumor metastasized to her liver. Colonoscopies were still not routine when she died in 1979 at the age of 72. (Your math is correct; she was first diagnosed when she was just 33....

I came closer to that “somewhere else” when my father gave me my first record, a 78 of “Canto Karabalí,” by the great Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona. I had no idea what “Song of Calabar” meant, but the melody got to me. It was an acoustical Tarot card that said, “This is your future.” Growing up in a Latino/Anglo city, I heard on the local radio station soul numbers like “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” and from a station broadcasting from Juárez, Mexican hits like “Amor Chiquito....

The symptoms, causes, and treatments depend on the type and severity of the disorder. Diagnosis of each condition involves a similar process, and usually includes a blood test, and possibly a bone marrow biopsy. This article will help you understand your risks and what to expect if you have a myeloproliferative disorder. Types of Myeloproliferative Disorders Sometimes myeloproliferative disorders are described as myeloproliferative neoplasms. These conditions are rare, and they typically occur during adulthood, although they can occur during childhood as well....

“It is going to be the most safest, securest and able to handle a hundred, two hundred, a billion people,” Lindell said about the website last Friday during the War Room Pandemic podcast, helmed by former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon. Lindell is a businessman, donor and staunch supporter of former President Trump, who was permanently suspended from Twitter in January for repeatedly violating its misinformation policies and spreading election abuse conspiracies....

“After three days of working with our team, I found that it wasn’t sustainable for me, for a long period of time, to go forward with my knee,” Krzyzewski said in a video posted to Twitter. “I could kind of muck it out for the Dominican trip, but for the whole season it wouldn’t be appropriate to do this.” MORE: Marvin Bagley could have major impact on 2018 NCAA championship...

Leach first tried to take analysts to task for rating Washington’s classes so highly every year and then acting surprised when the Huskies keep winning. John Blanchette, working for the (Spokane, Wash.) Spokesman-Review, came back with, “So, you’re not supposed to beat teams that have a higher-ranked recruiting class?” That got to Leach, who grew more annoyed as he went from dismissive to claiming the writer held a grudge against the program to straight name-calling....

Lindell, a staunch Trump loyalist, continues to baselessly claim that the last presidential election was “rigged” or “stolen” by the Chinese Communist Party to favor Biden instead of Trump. The extraordinary allegations about so-called “widespread fraud” in the election have already been thoroughly litigated in state and federal courts and wholly discredited. But Lindell and Trump continue to promote the groundless conspiracy theory. “So you have two things here, two pathways to pull this election down and it’s getting pulled down,” Lindell claimed as he sat at a booth for his Lindell TV at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas on Sunday....
