“I know how you feel about marriage…” she offered during the video chat, after showing me her ring. It was a reasonable assumption, that I was not the sort of mom who would excitedly jump up and down at news her daughter was asked, by surprise, to make a lifetime commitment. That’s because, more than a decade back, I had announced to the world, via Newsweek, that I saw no reason for my beloved Jeff and I to tie the knot....
PAULA JONES SCREAMED WHEN SHE heard the news. ““Are you kidding me?’’ she asked one of her lawyers, Joe Cammarata. ““Come on. Really?’’ She had been drifting off to sleep in her modest Long Beach, Calif., apartment after putting her 9-month-old boy into his playpen when her phone rang last Tuesday morning at 7:15. The U.S. Supreme Court had just ruled that Jones’s sexual-harassment suit against President Bill Clinton could go forward....
The 19-year-old’s big-money pre-season switch to the Allianz Arena from Benfica came amid much fanfare for a player who shone in Portugal’s triumphant Euro 2016 campaign, but Sanches has struggled to make an impact in the Bundesliga. Losing Willian to Man Utd would be a disaster Carlo Ancelotti has afforded him just six league starts and reports have linked Sanches with a possible loan move for next season. Speaking to the Chilean press, Sanches could not hide his disappointment, but retained hope of brighter times ahead....
A tragedy that changed it all When I was five years old, my parents told my siblings and me that they were getting divorced. Because I was very young, I did not know what the consequences of that would be. The idea of divorce also didn’t make sense to me, because it seemed that my parents had a normal marriage. I had never seen or heard of any violence between them....
‘Arsenal pressure too much for Mkhitaryan’ Ibrahimovic’s long list of titles in various leagues across Europe meant fans were sent into a frenzy after hearing the news that he would be moving to Old Trafford in the summer, but Dunphy feels the Swede’s best years are far behind him. “I’d say Ibrahimovic has no more football in him,” Dunphy told RTE 2fm. “Against the weaker teams they had to play at the beginning, I think he got six goals in seven games and they were important goals as well....
Kompany shows City what they’ve been missing The Germany international spent his first six years in professional football plying his trade in the German top flight before switching to Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid in 2010.

The Barcelona star scored the only goal of the game in a World Cup qualifying win against Chile, but his second-half clash with an assistant led to a ban in the hours before a second crucial clash with Bolivia. Pique is right on Messi ban Argentina lost 2-0 in La Paz without their star player and Messi is adamant that the ban is unfair as he did not direct his frustrations towards the officials....

Silva has Milan medical The Arsenal forward is currently enjoying his most prolific spell in his international career but is seen as second best to Karim Benzema to many Les Bleus supporters, and has persistently been forced to prove himself.

There was even an odd symmetry to the behavior of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasir arafat. Last week Arafat made a fiery speech vowing, among other things, that he would never give up Jerusalem. Barak, for his part, repeated the Israeli mantra that Jerusalem would remain the “undivided, eternal capital of Israel.” Arafat’s Palestinian Central Committee promised to declare a state by Septmber 13. Barak immediately threatened to annex parts of the West Bank and the Jordan River Valley to Israel....
The discussion was part of the April 19 Northern York County School Board of Education agenda. Samantha Groome, a parent of a Northern York Elementary School student in Dillsburg, was the individual who pushed for the club to be enacted on a probationary basis.

Major League Baseball teams are just getting started, and just like their brethren in the other sports, their dreams only involve the regular season insofar as the months ahead are necessary to qualify for the chance to win the World Series. MORE: Pagan, Norris exchange words | Blyleven calls Detroit ugly | A-Rod goes deep “It’s about winning a World Series,” Yankees third baseman Chase Headley said. “It’s not necessarily the best team over the course of seven months that wins it, it’s the team that plays well enough to give themselves a chance to get hot at the right time....
The Red Devils took the decision to move in a different direction last summer as they showed Louis van Gaal to the door and passed their managerial baton to a proven performer. Man Utd 4/6 to score first v Basel Mourinho’s first campaign at the helm delivered Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League success, while 2017-18 sees United back in contention for the Premier League title. They have, however, faced accusations of being too conservative, particularly in big games, with their manager shouldering much of the blame for that approach....

The stunt that got Knoxville the MTV gig featured him strapping on a Kevlar vest and shooting himself in the torso with a pistol. (Ironically, it never aired on the network. Even Knoxville thought it unwise.) During my interview, I asked him about the experience. So did it hurt? “Not really. The vest actually displaced the impact really well,” he said. “It was like someone hitting you in the chest with a shovel as hard they can....
Sam Buttrey, an associate professor of operations research at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, was seen becoming the first contestant to qualify for the Professors Tournament final after a highly competitive game. And while his intellectual prowess was worthy of dominating conversation, viewers took to Twitter in droves after the show to remark on how much Buttrey resembles Cheaper By the Dozen star Martin. Sporting spectacles, platinum hair and showing an affable personality throughout his time on the screen, it was easy to mistake Buttrey for the Hollywood screen star....
With both the Joker sequel confirmation and its denunciation relying on unnamed sources, Joker 2 now exists in a state of limbo, rather than a near done deal. While its billion dollar box office performance leads many outlets to claim a Joker sequel is an inevitability—Deadline included, who called it a “likely eventuality”—the latest information suggests planning for a Joker sequel is either in very preliminary stages or hasn’t happened at all....
