The Renegades, on the other hand, have yet again performed badly and are at the bottom of the points table with only three wins and nine defeats in 13 matches. The Thunder won the match by a huge margin of 129 runs when the two sides played each other earlier this season....

Last week on RAW, Lashley retained the WWE Championship against Randy Orton in what was supposed to be the last match of the night. Moments later, Big E successfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Lashley to win the WWE Championship for the first time.

That was a wish too far. But many items on that board–and other lists scribbled by other energy lobbyists in other offices around town–found their way into the recommendations that the president will unveil to the nation next week. The API list, in fact, was forwarded to George Bush’s transition team, which sent it to the Interior Department. On March 20, Interior sent many of the same ideas to the Energy Task Force that Vice President Dick Cheney had convened on Jan....

Jey Uso was a part of the opening segment of SmackDown where he had an emotional confrontation with Roman Reigns. The Universal Champion Roman Reigns provoked him from the get-go and Jey Uso had an outpouring of emotions, declaring that he hated his cousin. With that said, the main event had gotten underway at the end of the night and it was a solid bout from start to finish. While Daniel Bryan came close to securing a submission victory, Jey Uso managed to escape and defeated Daniel Bryan clean....

That’s where the Big Ten East Division comes into play. Ohio State, Michigan State and Penn State are in the Top 15 in team rankings....

S. geographicus was first discovered in the 1970s and is believed to be the largest land turtle ever to have walked Earth. However, the species is not well understood, with key details about it are lacking. Edwin Cadena, a Geologist and Vertebrate Paleontologist from Colombia’s Universidad del Rosario, and colleagues were searching for specimens to see if they could find out more about their lifestyles and biology....

We were going to do an update of 20 minutes, a half hour, a little bit of the trial, that’s it. After the verdict, I asked the field producer to talk to the jurors and see what it was that convinced them. She went there and called and said, “I got the most bizarre conversation.” She said, “You’ve got to come, you’ve got to listen.” I was in the middle of another show, but I went there, and there he was Marvin [Shackelford] saying, ‘The man didn’t get justice, the man didn’t get justice....

Bruce Sartwell, 48, also known as “Monster,” is the president of the East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, chapter of the biker gang. Federal agents searched his home in October and found that he had machining tools set up in his garage—including milling plates, a drill press and a Dremel polisher—as well as buffer springs and buffer tubes. All of these devices can be used in the construction of a DIY firearm. Agents separately discovered an instructional booklet containing information on “how to mill out an AR-15 weapon” at home....

The Hammers issued a statement on their website almost immediately after the final whistle announcing that Allardyce would not be continuing as manager, after a 12th-placed finish in the Premier League. West Ham 10/11 to beat Huddersfield “Our target is to recruit a manager that will build a team capable of saying a fitting farewell to the Boleyn Ground next year and do justice to the outstanding surrounds we will call home from August 2016,” joint chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan said at the time....

The other five federal lawmakers—Maine’s Susan Collins, Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Utah’s Mitt Romney, Nebraska’s Ben Sasse, and Pennsylvania’s Pat Toomey—were the only Republicans within their congressional chamber who voted against the trial’s dismissal last month. In justifying his decision to affirm the impeachment trial’s constitutionality on Tuesday, despite voting against it just weeks ago, Cassidy cited the strength of arguments presented by House impeachment managers. He explicitly noted their effectiveness over those of Trump’s defense team....

Speaking before the union crowd, de Blasio’s unexpectedly high-pitched voice set off laughter within the dining hall. An apparent snafu with the connection made it seem like the mayor had inhaled helium before delivering his remarks. The mayor was trying to extol the virtues of organized labor, though the defective connection overshadowed his appearance. Sixteen other Democratic candidates were scheduled to speak to union members in person at Wednesday’s gathering, which was sponsored by the state’s AFL-CIO chapter, the Iowa Federation of Labor....

Hader said that just because the HBO show was labeled under the comedy genre does not mean it couldn’t venture into darker territory. That’s why he is proud of what they put out there for Barry season 3. RELATED: Henry Winkler Shares Photo From First Day Of Barry Season 4 Filming In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, when asked if the tonal shift Barry took was something he had in mind from when the show started, Hader replied, “It was always that way from the beginning, especially after the way season two ended....

Nunn, 89, who died from complications of a recent stroke, was the chief scout for the Steelers in the 1970s when they drafted the core of the teams that won four Super Bowls between 1974 and '79.

The numbers are startling even after years of huge financial scandals. Eleven years. Thirty thousand unauthorized trades. $1.1 billion vanished. How could one trader lose an average of $400,000 every business day since 1984 and not draw attention? Iguchi’s deals weren’t even complicated, like the stock-index arbitrage with which Nicholas Leeson lost $1.4 billion for Barings, the British merchant bank, or the derivatives that helped drill a $1.7 billion hole in the investment fund of Orange County, Calif....

The injuries, dropped passes, and constant reminders of how Coleman failed to play to the Browns’ first-round draft-pick expectations can all be set aside. The Bills are offering him a clean slate. “We all go through things in life that don’t go our way,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Monday, a day after acquiring Coleman in a trade. “I don’t know all what went right or wrong for Corey in Cleveland....
