In January 2005, Hewlett-Packard’s board of directors held an off-site meeting to discuss a proposed reorganization. Days after those talks, Fiorina learned that The Wall Street Journal was working on a story about the board’s internal deliberations. In “Tough Choices,” her new memoir, Fiorina talks about her attempts to discover who’d leaked the infor­mation (an inquiry predating the probes that lead to the indictment Wednesday of former HP chairman Patricia Dunn on felony charges of illegally gathering phone numbers)....

The Defense Department guidelines indicate that military members can use lethal force when there is a “reasonable belief” that the vehicle is an imminent threat that will cause death or bodily harm to civilians in the immediate area. However, it is unclear what the Pentagon considers to be reasonable belief, raising concerns among legal experts and former government officials. The documents, which offer legal guidance, were issued in July, just three days after President Donald Trump’s new Defense Secretary, Mark T....

The continued spread of coronavirus throughout the military, both in the United States and at overseas bases, has halted all non-essential movement, interrupted recruiting and basic training, and led to a virtual standstill in large scale activity. It has also led to draconian secrecy, justified as necessary to preserve operational security. But that policy of secrecy is now getting strong pushback, both from the communities around military bases as well as from lawmakers....

The economy is the main concern for 40% of respondents in those counties, while 28% said healthcare is the key issue and 4% said law and order is their top concern, according to the Redfield survey conducted for Newsweek. Among those who voted in the 2016 presidential election, 79% said they would not change how they voted, while 12% would, and 9% didn’t know. Asked if they’re better off now than four years ago, 32% of those surveyed said they’re better off, while 31% said they’re about the same, for a combined total of 63% saying they were the same or better....

The source, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the intelligence shared with Newsweek, recalled how Israeli airstrikes in Syria began in late 2017 as Iranian forces began to entrench themselves in the allied country. Such strikes have targeted “Iranian military assets and interests in the Syrian territory that threaten Israel,” according to the source. While Israel routinely neither confirms nor denies responsibility for the air campaign informally referred to in the country as “the war between wars,” Syria has regularly blamed Israel for them and a multitude of international media reports, including from Newsweek, have cited Israel’s involvement in this effort....

Newsweek first reported in early February 2020 that Mark Frerichs, a contractor and former U.S. Navy diver, had been abducted in Afghanistan by individuals believed to be members of the Haqqani network, a powerful Taliban-aligned group designated a terrorist organization by the State Department nearly a decade ago. Weeks later, former President Donald Trump’s administration reached a landmark peace accord with the Taliban, paving the way for a U.S. military withdrawal ultimately completed earlier this week by President Joe Biden....

One half of the couple, TikToker @Lydia_bird3, first announced the trip over the weekend in a video that has now been viewed over 7 million times. In fact, according to a 2015 poll, 13 percent of people say that they’ve gone on vacation or spent a holiday with their ex. “pov you and your ex bought a non refundable, international spring break trip,” she wrote in text over the footage of her and the man traversing an airport....

The distant world, known as Kepler-88 d, is the most massive in the star system, which contains two other planets, according to a study published in The Astronomical Journal. It orbits its star every four years in an elliptical, or egg-shaped, path. A team of scientists led by the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy discovered the planet after six years of observations with the W. M. Keck Observatory, located on the dormant volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii....

The expectation around the league is that players will stand, perhaps with arms locked, but there won’t be kneeling. The league sent out a memo a little more than two weeks ago reminding players that their contracts require them to stand for the anthem, and that they’ll be held to that standard. “I don’t know exactly what you’ll see,” one general manager said. “You might have one guy who kind of goes rogue and kneels, you might have a few....

Is it a tribute to Ronaldinho? Nope. A twist on Thierry Henry’s ‘wazzup’ celebration? Wrong again. In fact, Griezmann is actually paying tribute to the dance move in Drake’s Hotline Bling track. “I’ve been doing it when I score for Atletico and I should have done it when I scored against Albania, but the emotion was too much and I forgot about it,” the forward said before his two goals fired France past Germany and into the Euro 2016 final....

The Golden State Warriors star has a long-running feud with the sports drink company, which is an NBA sponsor, and always removes it from the table during his postgame interviews.

As best I can tell, the Chandlers are willing to pay taxes on their $1.7 billion of sale proceeds just to be out of the newspaper business and to end their battles with Tribune’s Chicago-based managers. The Chandler family paying taxes is like the sun rising in the west—an unnatural event. The family pioneered in tax avoidance when it controlled the old Times Mirror Co., which Tribune bought in 2000....

After Marius Sumudica’s men secured their fifth win of the campaign at the Kadir Has Stadium, the Black Stars skipper took time-out to enjoy a game of ten-pin bowling. The former Sunderland and Al Ain forward was an unused substitute in Sunday’s Turkish League encounter as the Anatolian Star moved to the fourth spot on the log. Gyan showed his dexterity in the game by scoring a strike - knocking down all ten pins in his first throw....

The 2008 Olympic silver medallist disclosed that he is working on a musical project. The burly striker must have gotten some production lessons from former girlfriend and celebrity disc jockey, DJ Cuppy - who is also a music producer - so transitioning should perhaps be easy. Anichebe scored 26 goals in 204 Premier League appearances before moving to Chinese League One outfit, Beijing Enterprises in June.

The former Maccabi Tel Aviv shot-stopper who suffered a knee injury in a French Ligue 1 game against Rennes in April, returned to action for Lille reserve team as they cruised to a 3-1 victory over Croix Football IC on Saturday.

Until that happens, the current American Athletic Conference school will have to make do with sparkly new video boards at Bright House Networks Stadium and CFE Arena, its basketball facility.

Most cases of eyelid twitching are no more than a nuisance. The condition usually resolves itself over time. Treatment involves lifestyle changes to reduce stress and fatigue, as well as avoiding substances like caffeine and alcohol, that can worsen the condition. Eyelid twitching can occur as the result of eye infections or other eye conditions, like pink eye (conjunctivitis). Occasionally, eyelid twitching is a sign of a more serious nervous system condition that demands medical care....

That’s what we’re here for. Just as we’ve done with tight ends and wide receivers, this is an attempt to break down all the possibilities at the top of the running back chart (because, in all likelihood, an RB will go No. 1). Yes, that includes the frustration that is Ezekiel Elliott, along with Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara. Hopefully you keep feeling lucky with the No. 1 pick after you read this article....
