So when Matt Topic came across exactly that as he was driving in Wheaton, Illinois, on Sunday, he captured the moment on camera for posterity. “A thing I saw yesterday in Wheaton,” Topic, a media attorney, wrote on Twitter alongside the clip, which showed officers clearing the road of donuts that had been blocking the road. The officers are seen shoveling the donuts into two metal buckets before stamping down on them to make room for more....

“Looking forward to adding banners and accomplishing my academic goals,” Coleman-Lands tweeted, later thanking coach John Groce and assistant Jamall Walker, who were the key figures in his recruitment. MORE: Lack of Chicago-area talent on Illini roster not a death sentence Coleman-Lands is a 6-4, 185-pound senior at La Lumiere School in La Porte, Ind.

After West took the stage and gave a speech covering a number of topics, he revealed the latest visual from “The Life of Pablo” for the song “Fade.” Taylor, a recording artist who works under the G.O.O.D Music label with West, danced up a storm in what appeared to be an under-utilized workout facility. MORE: Athletes turned musicians Taylor’s attire and moves come straight from the “Flashdance” playbook, and she pretty much nailed it....

However, it wasn’t necessarily the snake reproducing asexually that stunned zookeepers—while uncommon, it isn’t impossible for female ball pythons to lay eggs all on their own—it was the fact that the reptile is nearly 62 years old and has managed to reproduce! According to Mark Wanner, zoological manager of herpetology at the St. Louis Zoo, ball pythons—the smallest of the species—usually only live for 30 to 40 years. So housing a snake that’s lived roughly three decades longer is “kind of crazy....

One of the many things to do in Immortals: Fenyx Rising is to fly around the large game map with all the different pairs of wings. These can all be obtained through the story, completing challenges, or defeating different Lieutenants across the game world. RELATED: What Makes Immortals Fenyx Rising - Myths of the Eastern Realm’s Ku Different from Fenyx In total, there are 20 different wing sets and 18 Lieutenants that are scattered in different places across the map....

Immortals Fenyx Rising has hosted other collaborations even before it released last December, with Ubisoft releasing an Adventure Time crossover trailer in November 2020 to push the game’s fantasy-adventure setting, the Golden Isle. However, Blood of Zeus, which was created by Charles and Vlas Parlapanides and debuted its first season on the streaming service in October 2020, makes much more sense as a thematic partner for Immortals given they both star demigods tasked with stopping malevolent forces....

Immune system disorders can be characterized by a weakened immune system or autoimmune diseases, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy cells. There are over 100 types of autoimmune diseases and approximately 80% of all people diagnosed with these conditions are female. There are different ways that immune system disorders can develop.

You remember Lisicki: She lost the 2013 Wimbledon title match. You also know the previous record for fastest serve, according to the Women’s Tennis Associates: gal named Venus Williams. That’s Ana Ivanovic trying to return Lisicki’s bullet. Considering she got her racquet on it, that’s an accomplishment. Lisicki, 24, is from Germany and stands 5-10. She’s not the tallest player; remember, she is four inches shorter that Maria Sharapova. But she can wind up and fire....

Imus’s show that day was supposed to be the usual mix of the high-minded and the profane. Among the guests: Sen. Chris Dodd, an Imus favorite who had announced he was running for president on the show earlier this year. In a sports segment, talk turned to the NCAA women’s basketball game between Rutgers University and Tennessee. “That’s some rough girls from Rutgers,” Imus cracked. “Man, they’ve got tattoos and … " At that point Bernie McGuirk, Imus’s longtime friend and producer, jumped in....

An estimated 8 million to 10 million people are infected with the AIDS virus, says Dr. James Chin, head of the World Health Organization’s AIDS surveillance unit; more than half live in sub-Sahara Africa. By 1995, Chin says, newly diagnosed cases will likely plateau in the industrialized world, but transmission will explode in developing nations. During the next couple of decades in the Third World, Chin predicts, “AIDS will become the leading cause of death for adults in their most productive years....

A NFT is a cryptocurrency-adjacent “token” that represents some tangible object, physical or digital. As large companies such as SEGA break into the NFT market, the concept has come under fire for not inherently being linked to the object in question, and the Charlie Bit My Finger NFT is no exception. YouTube downloaders are available that could circumvent the entire point of the auction. RELATED: 10 Video Game NFTs (& How Much They Sold For)...

This article discusses closed comedones and why you have them on your skin. It also discusses how you can get rid of them. Symptoms Closed comedones look like little bumps across the skin’s surface. They’re not red and inflamed like your typical pimple, and they don’t hurt. A closed comedo develops when a plug of skin cells and oil becomes trapped within the hair follicle, the tunnel-like structure that hair grows from....

In such a leaky environment, technology ought to take a more active role in safeguarding our personal data. That’s the object of work being done at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Latanya Sweeney, a software engineer at the university, has developed a computer program called Identity Angel that goes on the Internet and looks for the “holy trinity”–the three key data points needed to steal a person’s identity. Two of the three data points–name and address, and date of birth–are often public record....

The first online forums trace back to the early 1980s, before the World Wide Web was even invented. Even today, they often have a simple format and sparse design (they may look outdated, but their members don’t seem to mind). Forum sites are typically centered on discussion boards where participants can initiate and comment on various questions or topics. The threaded replies on some forum topics include thousands of comments added over time....

This was years before the NBA would institute its age limit rule, the so-called “one-and-done” rule, and yet senior players contributed only 29.8 percent of the points in that game and consumed 26.8 percent of the minutes. DeCOURCY: The argument againt the ‘one-and-done’ draft rule is an avalance of lies Regardless, there were no complaints that college basketball fans hadn’t time to “get to know the players.” That is one of the chief criticisms leveled against the college game in 2018, even as the sport is producing one of its most vibrant, dynamic and competitive seasons....

Speaking in an interview with MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber, “The Squad” member suggested that there were many things President Donald Trump could be impeached for, but that the Ukraine issue should be the focus. “I have said for a really long time that it wasn’t going to be… if the president was getting impeached it was going to be when,” Omar told Melber. “I believed there were multiple reasons for us to move impeachment on this president and right now I think it is really important for us to have it be narrowed because this is a really concise case, regardless of the shenanigans the Republicans are engaged in at the moment the public can clearly understand where the violations are and can follow this case,” she added....

By leaving behind entirely the requirement for vacuuming, the W400 is able to perform significantly better in cleaning hard floors. It not only builds in a larger 0.85-litre tank and can therefore clean for longer, but has a secondary tank for dirty water and a scraper that ensures all that dirt is removed. This also makes it an improvement over those hybrid models, which simply wipe the floor and leave behind the dirty water....

The five-member delegation—Reps. John Shimkus, Darin LaHood, Mike Bost, Rodney Davis and Adam Kinzinger—shared a statement today saying that the commutation of Blagojevich’s prison sentence had “disappointed” them. “We are disappointed by the President’s commutation of Rod Blagojevich’s federal sentence. We believe he received an appropriate and fair sentence, which was the low-end of the federal sentencing guidelines for the gravity of his public corruption convictions. Blagojevich is the face of public corruption in Illinois, and not once has he shown any remorse for his clear and documented record of egregious crimes that undermined the trust placed in him by voters,” the representatives wrote....
