Some Americans may take quiet satisfaction from the euro’s slide. After all, this is a case of private Europeans (corporations, institutional and personal investors) voting with their money in favor of the United States. In 1999 Europeans bought about $200 billion worth of U.S. stocks and bonds. Corporate takeovers of U.S. firms added to the total. Many Europeans see America as an economic and technological wonderland. They want in on the action....
If George Tenet’s departure was carefully choreographed by the White House, it looks like somebody may have forgotten to tell Bush. The purpose of forcing the resignation of a high-level official is to make the boss look good, and the president looked shell-shocked. He said he was sorry the intelligence chief was leaving, and he praised Tenet’s tenure in government. Bush’s remarks had the feel of a negotiated settlement, as in “I won’t rat on you if you don’t rat on me....
One Democratic Senate staffer said that when a tragedy like this strikes, there are all the usual tributes–but in Wellstone’s case, they happen to be true. Wellstone was a genuinely nice guy, admired for his solid middle-American values, his lack of pretense and his willingness to stand up for what he believed whatever the political consequences. Nothing incensed him more than the suggestion that he needed “political cover” for anything....
Long forgotten now after romping to the Premier League with a record 100 points last season, City suffered some serious growing pains in Guardiola’s debut campaign. Despite preparing for the Catalan’s arrival for years with the hire of his former Barcelona colleagues Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain, City scraped into the top four in 2016/17 by just three points thanks to winning their final four league games. Sarri acknowledged on Friday a return to Champions League football next season is Chelsea’s target with a 12-point gap to City and Liverpool too big to bridge for the title....
Is there a chance that Shiny Slugma might be coming with this event though? Unfortunately, no. Can Slugma be shiny in Pokemon GO? The answer is, sadly, no. Niantic hasn’t released shiny Pokemon for any of their Spotlight Hour events in a long time. There will be a large amount of Slugmas to be caught during the hour, but none of them will be shiny. This is a bit disappointing seeing as though most of the other Generation II Pokemon already have shiny forms....

Decades ago, healthcare providers used to think that celiac disease only occurred in children—specifically, only in children who appeared malnourished and who had frequent watery diarrhea. But years of further research has shown that many celiacs, both children and adults, suffer from constipation or from alternating constipation and diarrhea. What Exactly Is Constipation? You have constipation if you have fewer than three bowel movements a week. Occasional constipation happens to many people, but your constipation is considered chronic if you’re constipated for several weeks or longer....
That said, don’t throw your bottle of pain relievers in the trash. But make sure you never take more than a total of 4 grams of acetaminophen in a 24-hour period. You should also be aware of any other medication you take that may also contain acetaminophen. Causes and Statistics Since the pain reliever is included as an active ingredient in many different over-the-counter (OTC) products, including those for headache relief, cold and flu, and cough, you can take more than you realize pretty easily....
He next faces Scotland’s World No. 69 Kieran Merrilees for a place in the pre-quarter-finals. Prannoy can breathe easy after the eighth seed Kazumasa Sakai crashed out in the first round. The Japanese was the one who halted the Indian’s giant-killing run at the Indonesia Open last month. The two were scheduled for a quarter-final clash. But there is still a big threat lurking in the World No. 23’s quarter as Kento Momota won his first round on Tuesday....
The Canada men’s national team coach has been on the job for just more than 100 days and has been excited by what he’s seen. But, as he prepares his team for Friday’s Gold Cup opener against French Guiana, he knows that nearly any step forward would be progress. Not only have the Reds failed to make the knockout stage of the tournament for the past three editions, they didn’t even manage to score in the previous two....

"Sup." — Sidney Crosby. Also, someone needs to nail down which Canadian player is laughing here; Twitter consensus seemed to be Drew Doughty. Here are some photos from The Associated Press, for good measure.
The Canadiens goaltender, discussing his delayed return to Montreal’s lineup Thursday, said he is eager to return to action after suffering a lower-body injury in November. There is no definitive timeline for when that return may be, however, as he continues to rehabilitate.

The combustible but talented 22-year-old, who had another meltdown in losing the China Open final to Rafael Nadal on Sunday, has long struggled with his demons, repeatedly losing focus mid-match and arguing with umpires and fans. He has made no bones about not taking tennis seriously enough, and on Monday said it was down to feeling like he had no real purpose in life. Now he has one. “You’ve no doubt noticed that I’m not all that good at hiding the fact I’d rather be somewhere else a lot of the time....
“Ukraine wasn’t a thing until 1989. Ukraine was created by the Russians…They speak Russian,” Owens said on her talk show Tuesday. Putin has repeatedly claimed that Ukraine was created by Russia when defending his decision to launch a full-scale invasion of the neighboring country late last month. “Modern Ukraine was entirely and fully created by Russia, more specifically the Bolshevik, communist Russia,” Putin said in a speech addressing the nation just days before the invasion began....
During the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearings, Senator Josh Hawley grilled Jackson, alleging that she had a “pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker.” Conservative commentator Owens reiterated the Republican lawmaker’s claims on Twitter on Tuesday, reacting to his questions about a case involving an 18-year-old defendant. “This is wild,” Owens tweeted. “This woman CANNOT be elected to the highest court in the land....
Owens defended the use of the chant during an appearance on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday and also questioned President Joe Biden’s mental competence after the president’s interaction with a caller who used the phrase during the Christmas Eve Santa tracker phone-in. The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” is widely understood to mean “F*** Joe Biden” and originated following an incident at a NASCAR race. It has since gained popularity among critics of the president....

The authors of the research published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry argued that while the policies have provided “important social benefits, particularly around issues of equity in criminal justice,” the climb in conditions like cannabis use disorder are “a potential public health concern.” To uncover the effects of the changes, researchers looked at surveys completed by 505,796 people between 2008 to 2016. Of the total participants who filled in The National Survey on Drug Use and Health in those years, just over half were female, 77 percent were aged 26 or above, 65 percent were white, 11....
