What was in the defense team’s “mystery envelope”? Judge Lance Ito revealed that in a closed session last March. As NEWSWEEK reported earlier, O. J. Simpson’s 15-inch stiletto was inside. Prosecutors had suggested the knife was missing and hinted it was the murder weapon. When it turned up at the estate, the defense wanted to use it as evidence that the police search was sloppy – but it didn’t get the chance....

The suit alleges that DeVos illegally amended the rule governing the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, effectively diverting $13.2 billion from economically disadvantaged public schools to K-12 private schools. The NAACP said the changed rule “will drastically diminish the resources available to support public school children and historically underserved student populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.” A statement from the U.S. Department of Education said that DeVos’ rule “would help to ensure all students whose learning was impacted by COVID-19 are served equitably by emergency funding....
Fast forward 12 months and it is hard to envisage the two tennis greats going head-to-head again in a showdown for the ages at Melbourne Park on January 28 – and it is all because of the 31-year-old Spaniard and world number one. Federer and Nadal’s preparations for the Australian Open could not be more contrasting as the latter deals with an ongoing knee problem which continues to threaten his bid for a second Melbourne title and first since 2009, when he left the Swiss maestro weeping like a schoolboy on RLA....
The match included several remarkable moments, with Nadal returning seemingly impossible serves on more than one occasion in both the first and second sets, much to the delight of the extremely enthusiastic crowd at the National Tennis center’s Diamond Court. After the match, Nadal said that save for one game in the first set, he is pleased with his performance, reports Xinhua. “Today I think I played a very solid match, playing very aggressive with my forehand....
The Hoffenheim coach prompted speculation that he could succeed Carlo Ancelotti at the Allianz Arena by telling Eurosport that his family were moving to Munich and that the city is important to him. However, speaking ahead of Hoffenheim’s Europa League clash with Braga, he made it clear that he was not seeking to undermine Ancelotti. “The topic had bigger impact than I wanted,” Nagelsmann said. “Unfortunately the interview has made waves, also regarding my colleague Carlo Ancelotti for whom I have great respect....
Nagelsmann, 30, has long received acclaim for his accomplishments with Hoffenheim despite being particularly young compared to most head coaches. He led Hoffenheim to a fourth-place finish in last season’s Bundesliga and only failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage because they came up against a strong Liverpool side. Nagelsmann has been strongly linked to take over from Carlo Ancelotti at the Allianz Arena when the Italian leaves, and his revelation that he sees the area as “home” will surely only increase the speculation....
Fast forward. Janine Turner, formerly of the television show “Northern Exposure,” has just come out with a DVD called “Christoga: Yoga Filled Body … Christ Filled Soul.” The DVD promises that a regular Christian yoga practice will “improve your ability to perform activities of daily living.” In Alabama, a woman named Susan Bordenkircher teaches thrice-weekly yoga classes at her Methodist church—classes that are sometimes filled with as many as 60 or 70 people—and last year published a book called “Yoga for Christians” with a major Christian publishing house....
Woodward’s new book, entitled Rage, references audio recordings from interviews in which Trump admitted to the journalist that he knew the novel coronavirus was significantly more deadly than the flu but intentionally downplayed the risk to the public. “I wanted to always play it down,” the president told Woodward. The book features a series of other controversial revelations, citing current and former administration officials. “You would think that the family, or Republicans, would have some kinds of intervention,” Pelosi, a California Democrat, said, responding to the president’s remarks in an interview with MSNBC....
Thomas D’Alesandro III, a former Baltimore mayor and brother of Nancy Pelosi, died of stroke complications at his North Baltimore home on Sunday. He was 90 years old. “My husband Paul and our entire family are devastated by the loss of our patriarch, my beloved brother, Thomas D’Alesandro III,” Pelsoi said in a statement released by her office. “Tommy was the finest public servant I have ever known.” Despite the Pelosi family’s loss, Trump took to Twitter to rebuke the House Speaker for leading a surprise congressional visit to Jordan over the weekend....
Now that Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are the 2 set openers for the India’s One-Day Internationals, Murali Vijay is looking forward to grab a spot in the middle order. The 31-year-old Tamil Nadu player doesn’t want to close the option of playing down at number four or five. Of late, Suresh Raina’s form has been a problem for the team in the middle order. He managed to score only 68 runs in 5 ODIs against the South Africans recently....
Trouble? More than 30 years since the watershed clashes that left hundreds of Malaysian-Chinese dead, Malaysia is once again grappling with the specter of racial violence. This time it’s between the country’s Malay majority and Indian minority. And while this month’s events–which claimed the life of Ganesan, among others–did not reach the ferocious levels of 1969, the outbreak has placed fresh pressure on the Malaysian government to find a new approach to an old problem....
Spector’s influence on pop music is incalculable. He either co-wrote, produced or performed (or, in many cases, all of the above) on the most enduring songs of the 20th century. This is no hyperbole: “Spanish Harlem,” “On Broadway,” “Da Doo Ron Ron,” “Be My Baby,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” “Unchained Melody,” “River Deep, Mountain High,” the Beatles’ farewell album “Let It Be” (which infuriated Paul McCartney), both George Harrison and John Lennon’s first solo albums as well as Lennon’s “Imagine” all bear his stamp....
As per Bangladesh Cricket Board’s media committee director Jalal Yunus, Mustafizur’s surgery will be conducted at London’s Fortius Clinic. The lanky fast bowler, who is currently in England, suffered the shoulder injury after only two matches. A longstanding problem, Mustafizur first felt the niggle at the start of the year in the Zimbabwe tri-series. As a result, he was ruled out of the rest of their one-day and T20 campaign with a SLAP (Superior Labrum from Anterior to Posterior) tear....
However, most of those items are handmade by fans and not by an official clothing manufacturer. And while they may look appealing, some might be wary of spending $100+ on an arts and crafts site. Enter Musterbrand, whose new line of Assassin’s Creed items is high quality and seemingly perfect for AC fan. Some may remember Musterbrand for their Watch Dogs clothing line, which featured a few jackets and balaclavas meant to mimic those of Aiden Pearce....
(Eds: Sunil Gavaskar has written this column as part of a special arrangement with PTI) ‘Sunil, sorry, he is no more’. Those devastating words conveyed to me that ‘my captain’ Ajit Wadekar had passed away. Just a little while earlier, I was trying to help put him in the car to rush him to the hospital since the ambulance was going to take another 15 minutes to arrive and even then it looked like it was a hopeless battle....
“Personally it was very frustrating. Both were difficult situations but equally disturbing. You know after winning the I-League with Churchill Brothers last summer, I had plenty of offers from other clubs including Bengaluru FC (current league leaders). But seeing an opportunity of returning to my home city I joined the Mumbai Tigers and initially everything was good there. However suddenly out of the blue it was decided we won’t take part in the I-League,” Dias said during an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda....
In 2014, Clayton Lockett wasn’t fully sedated before his lethal ejection, which led to him to regaining consciousness during the procedure and experiencing sharp pain before his death. In 2015, Charles Warner cried out, “My body is on fire!” as he was executed by lethal injection. Officials later revealed one of the drugs used in the execution was not authorized by the state’s protocol. Following these botched executions, state officials instituted a moratorium on the death penalty....
