For at that very moment-not even midway through the 12-minute Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest that takes place every July 4-Takeru Kobayashi, a 131-pound kid from Nagano, Japan, had downed his 26th hot dog and bun, surpassing the record set last year by his countryman Kazutoyo “The Rabbit” Arai. The man the Japanese call “The Prince” used a combination of speed and endurance that has eluded American competitors for years....
But my wife is pregnant with our first child (oh, thank you) and has informed me that the only way to transport a baby from Point A to Point B is to purchase a one-ton machine, preferably one with four doors and air conditioning. But with gas prices already topping $2 a gallon, I figured the least we could do was check out one of those new gas-electric cars that get 70 miles per gallon on the highway....
Wait a minute, you might be thinking: He can’t run for president?! Why the hell not?! Jesse Ventura could run for president, and Arnold is a much bigger star than the former Minnesota governor. Sorry, “Predator” fans, but don’t blame Hollywood this time. Schwarzenegger’s bid for higher office is barred by the U.S. Constitution. Article II, Section I of that moldy document clearly states that “No person except a natural born citizen…shall be eligible to the office of President....
These statistics are a horrifying reflection of poor policy decisions made throughout the pandemic, and their long-lasting ramifications. But while Americans may be familiar with the statistics, they don’t often get to hear from teenagers themselves about why they are so engulfed with despair. I spoke to my friend Ella, a senior and fellow student at the selective New York City public high school I attend. Like most of our peers at school, Ella was always a disciplined student, well aware of the value of the education she was getting....
The supply of available players for the next step in Copa America Centenario, a semifinal match Tuesday in Houston, dwindled significantly during the course of the USMNT’s 2-1 victory over Ecuador at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. MORE: Images of USA in Copa America Centenario This is the Americans’ first appearance in the Copa America semis since 1995. Their opponent next time out might be Argentina, but if the Albiceleste win their quarterfinal over Venezuela they will face only a fraction of the U....
Injuries limited him severely last season, and he has spent most of this campaign out of the first team. There had been some signs of progress lately, as he had made benches in January, and grabbed a couple of cameo appearances. While not much, it was a step in the right direction from not being in the 18. And a bigger opportunity finally knocked for Johannsson on Saturday as he was called upon as a substitute in the 54th minute against Schalke for what looked set to be his longest outing in the Bundesliga this season — not difficult to top given he had not gone more than seven minutes in any league outing....
Weah entered in the 79th minute with PSG up 2-0 over Troyes, nearly 23 years after his father George Weah last suited up for the French giants, and was given the central forward role for the side. He used his pace to create a great opportunity for himself in stoppage time as he was able to simply outrun defenders to a ball just over the halfway line, getting into a one-on-one against the Troyes goalkeeper....
The Cheese Farmers kicked off the 2014 half of the Eredivisie season in style, rolling to a 3-0 victory over NEC Breda that saw Johannson score his 12th league goal of the season, and 19th in all competitions. The U.S. national team striker tallied just before halftime in a win that helped AZ climb into seventh place in the league. The performance of the weekend was not turned in by Johannsson, but rather by goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who delivered several key saves in Aston Villa’s 2-2 tie against Liverpool on Sunday....
Speaking with local news station Fox 34 News, Eilsel Garcia, owner of Pawn Texas in Lubbock, claimed that locals have increasingly turned to pawning off their personal possessions in order to afford gas. This has involved items like firearms, tools, computers, phones, video game consoles, and even items with sentimental value, like jewelry and inherited heirlooms. “They’re coming in and they’re pawning their personal items to help them out and we’re here to help them out,” Garcia explained....
The warning comes hours after President Joe Biden pledged that all Americans would be rescued from the country as well as U.S. Afghan allies who are now at risk following the Taliban’s swift takeover of the country. The embassy in Kabul said in a statement that U.S. citizens should only come to the airport if they receive specific instructions to do so from U.S. officials and urged them to complete necessary paperwork if they haven’t done so already....
“These are decisions that are life and death decisions,” he told Newsweek in an interview over the weekend. “We want people to understand the virus is still very much out there. It’s not going away. It’s not going to go away probably until we get a vaccine.” The costs at play for the first-term governor are multi-pronged, as the well-being of individuals and the health of the economy remain a constant juggling act....
Seriously, has their even been a pair of pugilists who have shared the ring space that these two have without actually throwing fists? Last weekend’s offering focused heavily on Khan’s next step and although his North England rival was only yards away, the 2004 Olympic silver medalist made everyone aware that the focus of his immediate desires is modern legend, Manny Pacquiao. Where this leaves a potential confrontation between the long-lasting rivals is anyone’s guess....
The pacebowler has only featured in 10 ODIs since the ICC Champions Trophy final in June 2017, taking just three wickets at an average of 100.66. But Pakistan’s chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq explained that Amir’s strong performance in the first two Tests against South Africa, which the Proteas won to secure a series win ahead of third and final match starting on Friday, saw him earn the nod for the 50-over contests....
What Game of Thrones did right in the beginning and middle of the story should not be overlooked. The show did an excellent job of developing all of its characters so that every fan had someone to root for. Unfortunately, that very thing is why so many fans disliked the ending. It seemed, to some, to disrespect the characters that fans had spent years rooting for. The ending of Game of Thrones was awful for everyone, except the remaining members of the Stark family....
Some of these stories sound like they are from the 19th century. They bring back bad memories of a time when there was no accountability and crony businessmen could get away with horrendous treatment of workers. If Jeff Bezos can afford to take a private rocket into space, he should be able to treat his employees like human beings. It’s time the American people were reminded that everyone is accountable to the law in this country, no matter how wealthy they are....
Until this week, the basic Kindle, which is the lowest—and therefore, default—option in its e-reader lineup, had a pitifully low 167 PPI screen resolution and an old micro USB charging/syncing port. MicroUSB, for those who can’t be bothered to keep track of the names, is the most annoying of all USBs, usually taking at least three tries to insert the right way around. The new model fixes these problems but is neither cheap enough nor good enough to beat the competition....
Starbucks, Milani Cosmetics, Etsy and more have been named in a viral thread that called out brands and companies for making light of Heard in the blockbuster defamation trial that saw her detail severe allegations of abuse against her ex-husband. Depp also leveled allegations of abuse against Heard in turn, and a jury largely sided with the Pirates of the Caribbean star in May, and awarded the actor $10 million in compensatory damages, as well as $5 million in punitive damages....
Today, we’ll compare these two cards, check their pros and cons, and see which one is more suitable for your specific application. Spec Sheet Comparison Before anything else, we should look at the core differences between the two cards. We won’t expect much difference since both are under the 6800 lineup. But even these minor differences can make a significant difference in your system. As you can see, the 6800 XT offers superior hardware over the 6800....
Sin embargo, a diferencia de otras CPU de la serie Ryzen 5000, este chip en particular brilla en escenarios específicos y se atenúa un poco en otros más concretos.

The tally also marks the 41st year that the F-Series has been America’s best-selling vehicle, surpassing sales of vans, cars, wagons and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). “The Ford truck team’s ability to anticipate customer needs, continuously innovate, and provide best-in-class levels of capability and performance has helped make F-Series the sales leader time and time again,” said Kumar Galhotra, president, Ford Blue. “We’re honored and humbled that our customers have helped us achieve this milestone for more than four decades....
