In 1990, U.S. agreements to sell arms to Third World countries jumped to $18.5 billion, compared with about $8 billion in 1989.

Fortunately for Microsoft, the evolutionary landscape for pen-based computers is much friendlier than in years previous. The Tablet PC cleverly exploits today’s mightier chips, smarter digitizers, sharper screens, cannier software and newly pervasive wireless connectivity. Microsoft made a lot of wise decisions, notably an emphasis on manipulating actual writing instead of slavishly (and clumsily) translating your scribbles into text. The ability to send handwritten e-mail and instant messages also provides a personal touch....

Schroeder said Herman promised Houston he would not leave the Cougars as long as they matched any offer he received.

Here’s the screenshot of the Facebook post in which Schroeder called Herman “a Judas.” CFB PLAYOFF SCENARIOS: 9 ways this could unfold Note reason No....

The young man who falls for her is pathologically shy, emotionally crippled Lars Lindstrom (Ryan Gosling). He lives in a converted garage outside the home of his brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and Gus’s pregnant wife Karin (Emily Mortimer), who adores and worries about her reclusive brother-in-law, a fellow so withdrawn she counts it a triumph if he’ll venture inside their home for dinner. In fact, everyone in their small, snow-banked Midwestern town is fond of this very odd duck, for reasons that are never quite explained....

While there’s still a lot of details EA and BioWare are holding back from revealing about Anthem, the gameplay demo did show off a few classes known as Javelins which are intended to fit certain roles within a group.

“It takes a load off me,” Davis said Wednesday after the Lakers’ 126-93 preseason win against the Warriors (per ESPN). “It feels good knowing that you don’t have to do much. Everybody has a role, and when you have guys all over the board who can score the basketball, you don’t need to do everything every possession.” Lakers coach Frank Vogel agreed with Davis, saying the workflow between James and the 26-year-old center will allow both players to stay fresh throughout the entire season....

Things went from bad to worse when All-Star forward LeBron James — who was doing everything for his team with averages of 24.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game — suffered an adductor strain that would force him to miss up to two weeks of game action. And while losing James was seen to be another nail in the Lakers’ coffin early in the season, Los Angeles was able to find a silver lining in the absence of its best player....

WBA Super, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s next fight won’t be against WBC champion Deontay Wilder after negotiations reached an impasse. Instead, Joshua will defend his titles next against Alexander Povetkin on Sept. 22 in front of what is expected to be a full house at Wembley Stadium in London. The fight will be live-streamed exclusively on DAZN in the U.S. For the past few months, Wilder and Joshua were seemingly engaged in talks to unify the titles....

Anthony Rizzo hit 32 home runs for the Yankees this year. He was a major reason for New York hitting 294 home runs, the most by any team in the MLB. He will now have two more seasons at the hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. A former World Series champion with the 2016 Chicago Cubs, Rizzo has been a member of the Yankees since mid-2021. Last year was big for him as he was expected to set the bar for how much the franchise should value him....

Amash, who has represented Michigan’s 3rd district in the U.S. House since 2011, is a critic of President Donald Trump and backed his impeachment. Amash quit the Republican Party in July 2019 after clashing with Trump.

Antifa Seven Hills issued a lengthy statement after Vice News reported the group would be attending a rally to protest pending gun control legislation in front of the Virginia Capital in Richmond on January 20. Vice reported that while conservative gun-rights activists and antifa appear to be “unlikely bedfellows,” Antifa Seven Hills “believe they’ve got more in common with working-class white Virginians, regardless of their political bent” than many moderate Democrats....

America’s relations with China began to erode during former President Donald Trump’s final year in office, and the presidential transition has done little to ease tensions. China has grown closer to Russia and more obstinate toward the United States, taking nearly daily jabs at America, including over what it deems a hypocritical stance toward Beijing. Blinken acknowledged that America bears responsibility for making sure democracy is “strong, resilient and meeting the needs of its people....

He also said that Srinivasan should share the list with his own family members “whose involvement in betting has been proved”. Thakur attacked Srinivasan a day after the ICC issued an advisory to Thakur to avoid meeting suspected bookies. ICC, in a letter to BCCI chief Jagmohan Dalmiya, said Thakur was socialising with alleged bookie Karan Gilhotra a couple of days after being elected as BCCI secretary. Media reports suggested on Sunday that the letter was sent by the ICC after the BCCI intimated the cricket’s world governing body about Thakur socialising with Gilhotra in Chandigarh....

The answer is osteocalcin, a hormone produced in the bones. Gerard Karsenty, a geneticist at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, is one of the scientists behind this decades-long exploration of fight-or-flight. According to reporting by Scientific American, Karsenty began his work with a study of calcification, hypothesizing that osteocalcin—a skeletal element discovered in the 1970s—was the key component of the bone hardening process. However, Karsenty’s experiments yielded a different result....

The Chamber of Commerce, a business lobbying group that generally is more supportive of Republican candidates, blamed the extra $300 in weekly federal unemployment insurance (UI) that was approved as part of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan in early March for the worse than expected job gains the country saw in April. Some Republican lawmakers also quickly blamed the slower than expected job growth on the extra unemployment benefits millions of Americans are currently receiving....

He lost his aura, his growing sense of invincibility. So Joshua has had to reinvent himself, strip everything back and, in a sense, start all over. That began by going back to his roots in Nigeria. “Because of boxing, I’ve never had time to go there,” Joshua told The Associated Press of his first return in 17 years to the homeland of his parents and where he briefly went to boarding school at the age of 11....
