Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp seemed unsure of his No.1 for much of the season, but the German confirmed his compatriot had won the battle in January. Mignolet subsequently indicated he could seek to leave Anfield at the end of the season, with Karius glad to have secured the gloves for the Premier League side. “It wasn’t easy,” Karius told Sky Sports. “I knew after the first season where I had an injury, then went back in and played a few games, went back out and then Simon did well and the team qualified for the Champions League, I knew there was a possibility that in the beginning [of the next season], he would start again in the league....

The state’s abortion law that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed last year banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, with no exceptions for rape or incest. However, the policy also contained a “trigger law” designed to ban the medical procedure outright in the event that Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision, was overturned. The Court moved to overturn Roe in June. During the Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday, Evan Smith, the CEO of The Texas Tribune, asked Rove about how voters in Kansas last month moved to uphold a 2019 ruling that decided the state’s constitution grants a fundamental right to an abortion, rejecting a push from Republicans to restrict access....

The banquet was also the first of its kind to take place during the reign of King Charles III, who acceded to the throne upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 in September. For the landmark event, the jewelry vaults of the British royals were opened and the likes of Kate, Queen Camilla and Sophie, Countess of Wessex (the wife of the late-monarch’s youngest son, Prince Edward) dusted off heirloom tiaras, glittering accessories and an assortment of official ceremonial regalia....

Britain’s Tatler dedicated its front page to celebrating “Catherine the Great” while the story inside makes claims of an argument with Meghan Markle over whether bridesmaids would wear tights at the 2018 royal wedding. Kate is said by friends to be “working as hard as a top CEO” since Prince Harry and Meghan stepped back as senior royals to pursue a new life in California. And the article claims the duchess is “furious” that her extra workload has had an impact on family time....

Last April, Taylor and Serrano main evented a fight inside Madison Square Garden. They made seven figures for the bout. Both were unheard of in women’s boxing at the time. The result was a historic fight that changed the game for women’s boxing. It was the start of something that will hopefully continue down the line. However, the discourse over the topic carries on into 2023 as we head to Serrano’s fight against Erika Cruz for the status of undisputed featherweight champion on February 4....

Two other female students living in the house slept through the attack and were unharmed. More than a month later police have yet to identify a suspect or recover a murder weapon. Brian Entin, a senior national correspondent for the network NewsNation, spoke to the manager of a Moscow vape store, who said Goncalves and Mogen used to come in as part of a group and discussed Goncalves having a stalker....

A bad chip led to double bogey. A bad decision cost him a chance at birdie. With his lead suddenly down to one shot, he watched his ball soar against the gray sky toward the scariest island in golf and figured it would be fine. What followed was a bounce sideways instead of forward, mystifying spin that nearly sent his ball over the edge and into the drink, a chip with his feet pressed near the wooden frame of the island and a 30-foot par putt that Kaymer chalked up to instinct and luck....

Each thing is new and unique and trying to compare it is a fool’s errand, and they’re probably a little exasperated at you for asking the question. The atmosphere in any given ballpark is not like any other atmosphere. That rookie you’re asking about is not like any player who’s ever played before, because that’s not fair to the rookie or the established guy. MORE: Fagan: MLB picks | Spector: MLB picks | Top free agents | Royals-Astros Game 1...

Our day opens with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Everyone has homework completed and there are no arguments about the assignments given.

That was 14 years ago–the last time I thought about him until the Roman Catholic Church scandal broke in 2001 and I found myself wondering why the victims had waited so long to tell anyone. I never stopped to ask myself the same question. I didn’t yet realize that they were just like me: they had been used by someone they looked up to and were too ashamed to admit it, even to themselves....
