Predicting U.S. Supreme Court decisions by listening to oral arguments is notoriously hazardous. But perhaps the most telling sign in today’s historic arguments in the cases of Jose Padilla and Yaser Hamdi, two U.S. citizens whom the White House has labeled “enemy combatants,” came unexpectedly when even Justice Antonin Scalia, the court’s most forceful conservative, seemed to challenge the Bush administration’s claim of seemingly unlimited powers during wartime. “Where does he get that power?...

The Steelers legend kind-of, sort-of walked back his controversial comments about the Super Bowl-winning Tomlin on Thursday’s episode of “The Herd with Colin Cowherd.” Appearing with “Fox NFL Sunday” colleague Howie Long, Bradshaw admitted: “I probably shouldn’t have said cheerleader.” Bradshaw also called Tomlin a “stand-up guy.” MORE: What Steelers need from Big Ben against Chiefs At the same time, Bradshaw thought Tomlin made a mistake responding to his comments....

Wenger gives up on signing Mbappe The former Chelsea and England skipper takes over the armband from James Chester as Steve Bruce plots a return to the Premier League. “Aston Villa are pleased to announce John Terry as captain,” the club said in a brief statement. “Terry will be skipper for the 2017-18 campaign.” The 36-year-old, who said he signed for Villa to avoid having to play against Chelsea, captains his new side for the first time on Saturday in a pre-season friendly against Shrewsbury Town....

Inter confirm Utd interest in Perisic The centre-back is due to leave Chelsea at the end of his contract in June, but has yet to make a decision on whether he will hang up his boots or continue playing elsewhere. Regardless of what the immediate future holds, the 36-year-old is desperate to pass on his knowledge and experience by moving into coaching. “Hopefully one day I will be back at Wembley as a manager, that is kind of the ambition,” Terry was quoted by Sky Sports....

A report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the FSD software’s “rolling stop” functionality lets the car go through an all-way stop as long as it meets a series of conditions, which “may increase the risk of collision.” The conditions that have to be in place for the “rolling stop” to activate include the feature being enabled within the Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, the car going no faster than 5....

Admiral Brett Giroir, who leads virus-testing efforts in the U.S. and is a member of the task force, was discussing testing and containment efforts during an interview on the Today show. He was asked about allegations directed at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and health care workers that President Donald Trump recently retweeted to his estimated 83.4 million followers. The original tweet was posted by Chuck Woolery, a former game show and talk show personality who was the first host of both Wheel of Fortune and Love Connection....

There are a variety of reasons why testosterone replacement therapy might be implemented on a patient. However, this hormone therapy isn’t for everyone. What Is Testosterone? Testosterone is considered a male sex hormone, and it is primarily produced in the testicles (although a very small amount comes from the adrenal glands). Women also have testosterone in their bodies but at much lower levels than men. Testosterone is responsible for the development of primary sexual characteristics: male genitalia....

Since its release way back in the 80s, Tetris has seen a number of variants, innovating the game in many different aspects while keeping true to the game’s main puzzle tactics of lining differently shaped pieces as efficiently as possible.

An unprecedented storm swept the southern U.S. states last week, leading to icy roads, traffic deaths, frozen pipes and circumstances most southerners have never seen in their lifetime. Millions of people were also left without power and reliable water as cold temperatures increased demand but hit supply. Now Texans are facing food shortages after stores had to throw out refrigerated items due to days of power outages and some began panic shopping....

After the trade, Houston enters the first full year of the Davis Mills era. Mills started 11 games — and appeared in 13 — last season as a rookie and completed 66.8 percent of his passes for 2,664 yards, with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. But the start of his tenure as the full-time starter might not be so great. The Texans went 4-13 a season ago, and the record could be worse in 2022 after the Jaguars made a number of upgrades while the Texans largely turned to the draft for their offseason improvements....

Chancellor John Sharp issued a press release that addressed the perils of smoking e-cigarettes, and cited statistics from a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report. “I do not want to take any unnecessary chances with the health of our students, faculty and staff,” Sharp stated. “To that end, I am directing the presidents of each of the 11 universities and the directors of the eight state agencies within The Texas A&M University System to ban the use of e-cigarettes and vaping as soon as possible....

The Houston Chronicle spiced up this week’s conference media days with a report that Texas and Oklahoma have reached out to the Southeastern Conference about joining it. The Longhorns and Sooners issued brief responses but no denials. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey did not comment on the speculation. Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork went on the defensive, and the idea still seems like a long shot given the ramifications for entities ranging from The Longhorn Network to the College Football Playoff....

Decorated Air Force veteran M.J. Hegar and longtime state senator Royce West will compete in the runoff, which is the result of neither candidate eclipsing the 50 percent mark in the March primary. Hegar finished first in that race with 22 percent of the vote, while West came in second with 15 percent. Hegar is once again viewed as the front-runner heading into the July 14 contest. She is polling better—the latest survey found her 12 points ahead—and has raised more money than West....

The question is a very interesting one, especially with what has transpired on WWE television over the past couple of weeks, and it will surely help tip the company’s hand on what exactly it plans to do going forward. In fact, with the Road to WrestleMania only months away, TLC will serve as a launching point for its booking decisions in the future. As if all that wasn’t interesting and intense enough, WWE still has to deal with several of their top superstars being out, a corroding tag team division and some of the weakest storytelling they have had in months, which is only going to make TLC that much important....
