While Harris has already made history as the first woman, first Black person and first Asian-American to ever win the position of vice president, she is also Time’s first vice president-elect to earn the Person of the Year honor. Biden, on the other hand, joins a long list of presidents-elect named Person of the Year. In fact, his appearance continues a nearly nine-decade long tradition of the presidents-elect being dubbed Person of the Year or Man of the Year, as the title was referred to in the years before 1999....

After appearing on Hannity earlier this week in which he said that Harris was “not qualified” to run on the Democrat ticket, Terrell, a former Democrat supporter who has switched his allegiance to President Donald Trump, continued his attack on the California senator in another segment on Fox.

But after the event, the International Testing Agency reported that Valieva had trimetazidine, a banned heart medication, in her system during an event in December....

The 50 best Under-19 talents in the world After being contacted by Lord Alan Sugar, Kane has pledged to donate money to Comic Relief - who will stage a massive fundraising drive on Friday - if Morgan wears a Spurs strip on live television, but says that he will double his contribution if the Good Morning Britain host kisses the crest. Morgan, a vocal critic of Arsene Wenger on Twitter, has long been involved in a feud with Alan Sugar, with each taking jabs at their respective rival football clubs each weekend....

Spurs endured an underwhelming campaign in the competition last season, finishing third in their group after managing just two wins from six matches.

But Kane is relishing the prospect of tackling some of the biggest clubs on the continent. “It’s 50-50 really. If you’re in the Champions League you want to be playing the best teams....

“Kansas appealed the NCAA staff decision of a two-season withholding to the Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee, which determined additional relief was appropriate,” the NCAA said in a statement released via Twitter. The NCAA originally ruled in February that De Sousa would have to sit out the rest of the 2018-19 season and all of the 2018-19 season “because his guardian received payment from a university booster and agent and agreed to receive additional funds from the same person” (via the Kansas City Star)....

As the Jayhawks basketball squad prepared to battle Maryland in Thursday night’s Sweet 16 matchup, the football team played a friendly game of Knockout to the tune of NWA’s “Straight Outta Compton.” The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Lawrence, Kan. is the dulcet tones of Ice Cube and MC Ren.

In a series of posts shared on her Instagram Stories, the reality star said she felt it was time to speak up to help destigmatize the misconceptions surrounding her husband’s mental well being. “As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health....

CLINTON’S ADVISERS, AS WELL AS HOSOKAWA’S, are at pains to paint the trade disagreement as a dramatic departure from the past. Clinton wants to be seen fulfilling his campaign pledge to take a tougher line with Japan, while the politically fragile Hosokawa government can only benefit from seeming more independent of Uncle Sam. But the reality is far less epic. Neither Washington nor Tokyo has any interest in curtailing a bilateral trade that reached $155 billion last year....

It’s a great honor for the former Tar Heel, who already claims that moniker in the NBA and who beat out Indiana State’s Larry Bird to claim the college version of that title.
