Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Baseball’s reigning World Champions are finding the road to repeating filled with potholes.

No Freddie Freeman – After spending his entire 12-year career in Atlanta, the Face of the Franchise found himself without a job when the Braves traded four top prospects to the Oakland Athletics for fellow first baseman Matt Olson, an Atlanta native who’s younger and cheaper, in March.

- A + A NEW YORK (May 18): In public, Elon Musk’s erratic tweets have sent Twitter Inc’s shares flailing, as traders bet that the billionaire is preparing to walk away from or re-negotiate his US$44 billion takeover of the social-media company. Behind the scenes, it’s more like business as usual, as advisers on both sides plug away at the day-to-day work of closing a megadeal. One potential sign that the deal is still on track: the 139-page filing that hit early Tuesday, detailing how the offer came together and Twitter’s rationale for accepting it. That document was the result of weeks of coordinated work by both Musk and Twitter’s teams, according to people familiar with the matter. Musk himself signed off on the final version — complete with a deal price of US$54.20 a share — before it was filed, the people said. The situation is similar at the banks that promised to finance the transaction, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the details are … [Read more...] about As Musk tweets, advisers plug away to keep Twitter deal on track

According to the bishop, the amount distributed to each voter reached almost P12,000 in Tandag City alone. “Amidst our hardships, this could be the biggest amount of vote-buying in the country,” Dael said in his pastoral letter on Sunday morning (May 15), a copy of which was posted on the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tandag Facebook page. Photos that circulated in private messages in Facebook chat groups showed different money denominations stapled separately for each name of a candidate in Tandag City, implying the price paid for each candidate.

During National Police Week, we take a moment to pause and honor the men and women of our law enforcement community who have given so much to keep us all safe. To don the badge is one of our nation’s highest honors, but one that comes with unique dangers that so few of us experience firsthand. For those who risk their lives to protect our safety and the values we hold dear, thank you for all you do. (RELATED: RICHARDS: The New Leftist Scheme To Destroy American Policing) This year’s National Police Week events are particularly poignant, as the law enforcement career faces challenges unlike any we’ve seen in our history before.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Cricket in the U.S. is once again mired in the familiar position of uncertainty, amid continual tumult, infighting and law suits, as dark clouds hover over the sport’s pet project. USA Cricket, the national governing body, has been rocked by the resignation of chairman Paraag Marathe who had brought considerable gravitas to the role ever since he was inserted to be the front man of the maligned cricket nation by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2018.

The dispute stemmed over delayed board elections and that those board directors were alleged to have voted in favour of approving a membership referendum to change election voting procedures.
