Herring (21-2) and Oquendo (31-6) were to meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Tuesday, after the fight was originally scheduled for July 2. The bout was initially postponed after Herring contracted COVID-19. Promoter Top Rank announced Monday that the American tested positive a second time. Top Rank did not announce whether the fight would be rescheduled. “I feel great, I had the best [weight] cut ever. I was actually on weight days ago,” Herring told ESPN....

Marco Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were on target as Dortmund leapfrogged Hoffenheim into third place - finishing in the top three would guarantee they avoid the qualification rounds. However, despite a two-point advantage over Hoffenheim with just two games remaining, Tuchel is adamant that his side must continue to work hard in their remaining fixtures against Augsburg and Werder Bremen. Ancelotti: ‘We need to play better’ “We showed an outstanding defensive performance right from the start - that was key,” he told a post-match news conference....

What I and other religious leaders involved in political work know is that Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy, especially at the state level. Christian nationalism melds Christian and American identities, distorting both in the process. Christian nationalism expects that Christianity will be given a place of privilege by the State. It tells people that to be a good American, one must be a Christian. Far too often, it is deeply intertwined with white supremacy and patriarchy....

Adelaide, Dec 9 (PTI) Australia have drawn inspiration from a miraculous draw against Pakistan two months ago and will be going for a win on day five of the first Test against India here on Monday. Lyon has said that the day five wicket at the Adelaide Oval will still be good enough to bat on, and that the hosts can press on to chase the 323-run target set by India....

It turns out that America’s MPPs have hearts as golden as the parachutes they’ve received from various distinguished institutions. Carville paints “a daddy, a momma, two children, a paycheck and a future”; Ireland envisions “a general spiral of progress on the issues I care about”; Schwarzkopf pictures “a kind of universal well-being.” Trione writes that when she sprung the paints on former senator Alan Simpson, he said, “This is appalling to me....

Why Barca want to sign Ajax’s Davinson Sanchez The 29-year-old striker was linked to a move to the Chinese Super League just a few months ago, with Tianjin said to be ready to match his €50 million release clause. Owner Shu Yuhui recently revealed the club have secured pre-contract agreements with three big names ahead of next season, sparking reports Kalinic could be one of them. The Croatia international passed up on the chance initially, but now it is the Chinese side who say there is no chance of the deal happening....

Recently, over 50 Republican Senators and Representatives joined with all Democrats in Congress to deliver a historic win for civil rights by passing the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA). The good faith commitments and willingness to compromise ensured this legislation, which secures same-sex and interracial marriage in the U.S., then made its way to the President for signature. Once again, a determined group of problem solvers, including centrist and conservative Republicans, worked across the aisle to prove that practical, commonsense policymaking can still win the day in a divided country....

Of the 16 games played on Thursday, five were decided by a single point. And of those five razor-thin victories, two moments in particular stood out from the crowd: R.J. Hunter’s 3-pointer from the parking lot that lifted Georgia State over Baylor and N.C. State’s last-second shot to cap off an unlikely comeback against LSU. MORE: Must-see tournament photos | N.C.

In the 55-second clip, Pigeon the pitbull—whose back legs don’t work—excitedly scoots to her wheelchair when she first sees it. Her owner then lifts her up to strap her into the wheelchair, which will better support the back half of her body. Once she’s set and ready to go, Pigeon jumps and scurries across the floor in her special wheelchair. The dog’s happiness is contagious, and just like the good girl, we can’t stop smiling....

LONDON (Reuters) - Heather Watson hammered out a statement of intent at Wimbledon on Wednesday, swiping aside 18th seed Anastasija Sevastova 6-0 6-4 to reach the third round. On a roasting Court Two, the Briton was in the hottest of form in the first set, bashing big forehand winners past her Latvian opponent to clinch it in less than 20 minutes. Although Sevastova stabilised in the second set, twice going a break ahead, she was unable to arrest the Briton’s momentum as Watson became the first player – man or woman – to reach the last 32....

Mensah shot and killed Black teenager Alvin Cole in February during a disturbance at a Wisconsin shopping mall. Cole was in possession of an allegedly stolen handgun. Mensah fired at Cole five times after allegedly hearing a gunshot. In his criminal review released Wednesday, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm called Cole’s shooting justified and declined to file criminal charges against Mensah. Public outcry over that decision led to demonstrations in Wauwatosa, with many calling for Mensah to be relieved of duty....

Earpods have been a staple feature that have been included with iPhones since the iPhone 5 first launched with them bundled in back in 2012. Now it looks like the iconic earbuds will be dropped in favor of pushing the completely wireless AirPods. However it’s unlikely that we’ll see AirPods coming free with the iPhone 12 given the price disparity between the EarPods, which currently retail for $30 separately, and the AirPods which start at $159 (opens in new tab)....

If WB Games San Francisco sounds familiar, it recently launched the superhero collector DC Legends and the location-based wizarding AR-title Harry Potter: Wizards Unite (alongside Niantic). Both titles were a new step for Warner Bros. into the mobile market, where previously it had released some apps, but nothing of similar scale and popularity.

As a military man, Gen. Colin Powell, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, should have insisted to President Bush that halfway measures don’t work in war. Gen. George Marshall told President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the outbreak of World War II that the goal had to be unconditional surrender and the destruction of enemy military capability. It’s impossible to imagine him agreeing to stop the fight when the Nazis left France....

Though Watch Dogs Legion was only released in 2020, the action-adventure title followed up the launch with a lot of end-game content for its current player base. The team recently revealed a Watch Dogs Legion development roadmap that outlined the coming updates for the game which includes character customization, new online content, a collaboration with fellow Ubisoft title Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and even a new playable character named Darcy.
