Logano’s happy mood quickly turned to panic, however, when he noticed he’d somehow lost his wedding ring after the race. MORE: Harvick’s been here before To make matters worse, Logano, who married the former Brittany Baca in December 2014, had already lost his original wedding ring. To lose a second wedding ring in less than two years would not have been good, especially given that Brittany was at the race....
There is no magic formula for achieving such a memory, although neuroscientist James McGaugh at the University of California, Irvine, is studying Williams for clues. Most of us would be happy just to keep our mental recall from slowing with age—a process that seems to start alarmingly early. “If you’re over 25, you’re one of us—your memory is slipping,” says neurologist Scott Small of Columbia University, who is 46. But scientists now know that much of that deterioration represents a slowing of cognitive function rather than actual memory loss, and they’re busy working on interventions....
It didn’t matter that Calipari’s teams then were playing a jam-the-lane man-to-man defense while Rick Pitino’s were aggressively pressing all over the court. They both were of Italian descent, and both had been affiliated with the basketball program at UMass, and that was enough.

“First of all, this is no disrespect — the coaches you mentioned, I respect them all — they know nothing about social media. Nothing. They don’t do it,” Calipari said on an appearance on ESPN’s Mike and Mike radio show. “They feel it’s another job. “We train them. We bring in professional people. We talk about it. We oversee them. We watch what they put out. If they put out something dumb, we talk to them and tell them why (it’s foolish)....

[HTML1] Mortal Kombat X, the highly anticipated fighting game from NetherRealm Studios, has been in the news a lot recently – although perhaps not always for the reasons the publisher would like. With excitement riding high as the game nears its release, the major concern left with players seems to be over which characters made the final roster. As rumors, leaks, and blatant teasing of potential characters occur more frequently heading towards launch, NetherRealm decided to put some of the speculation to rest by releasing a new trailer that has confirmed a handful of rumored fighters....
“The bottom line is: if we want lower gas prices, we need to have more oil supply right now,” Biden said on March 31 as he announced the withdrawal of 180 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Biden’s acknowledgment of basic economics departs sharply from everything he’s done since day one of his administration, when he set about fulfilling his campaign pledge to end oil and gas activity on public lands while weaving a basket of red tape around the entire industry....
During his ABC News town hall in Philadelphia on Thursday night, Biden said there should be “zero discrimination” against children who are transgender. His remarks came after Mieke Haeck—a mother of an eight-year-old child who identifies as transgender—asked the former vice president whether he would overturn President Donald Trump’s “dangerous and discriminatory agenda” against transgender rights. “I will flat-out just change the law. Eliminate those executive orders,” the Democrat responded....
Taking to Twitter on Sunday evening, Biden wrote: “In one year, we will give Trump a nickname of his own: Former President Donald Trump.” Trump is well known for branding his opponents and detractors with unflattering nicknames, from his most recent description of “do-nothing Democrats,” “Shifty Adam Schiff” and “nervous Nancy Pelosi” to his historical “crooked Hillary Clinton” and “Lyin’ Ted Cruz.” The president has repeatedly dubbed Biden, who at 76 is the second oldest of the Democratic candidates, “sleepy Joe Biden” and made digs about Biden’s age—despite being just four years younger than the former VP....
The age and mental acuity of both septuagenarian presidential candidates became a campaign talking point almost immediately after Biden, who would be the oldest president to ever take office, joined the 2020 race against Trump, who is currently the oldest U.S. president to enter office. A new study published in September’s Journal on Active Aging draws on publicly available medical records, family disease history and confirmed personal information to determine how ageism and longevity have factored into the election....
Reza Pahlavi, who lives in exile in the U.S., told Newsweek that Biden should build on one of President Donald Trump’s landmark foreign policy achievements, framing the accords as the best chance for Middle East peace and prosperity. The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco all signed normalization deals with Israel in the final months of Trump’s term. The U.S. sweetened the deals with financial and diplomatic incentives, helping overcome the generations of enmity between Israel and its long-time adversaries....

That’s the headline on a full-page advertisement taken out in Thursday’s Washington Post highlighting the case of Jonathan Wall, a 26-year-old who has been languishing in a federal supermax detention facility in Baltimore, Maryland, for more than a year as he awaits trial on federal marijuana conspiracy charges. Wall’s family and supporters took out the ad to call on the Biden administration to make good on campaign pledges to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level—and save people like Wall from serving lengthy sentences while others make a fortune working in the legal cannabis industry....
The University of North Florida released the polling data on Monday morning.
