That it was, and rare. Colin Powell had beggared the blather. In departing the electoral scene, he made clear what the fuss had been all about: his half-hour press conference seemed as fresh as the talking heads were stale. He demonstrated–effortlessly, it seemed–what has been missing from the national discourse. He spoke plainly, crisply and with self-deprecating humor. He took personal responsibility for his decision. He did not blame his wife, or the process, or the lunatic fringe....

James carried the Heat nearly the entire way until Bosh hit the shot that put Miami ahead for good. Ray Allen followed with four free throws and James finished it off with one more, putting the Heat in position to wrap it up at home Wednesday in Game 5. James was 16 of 24 from the field and 14 of 19 from the free throw line in matching the 49 points he scored for Cleveland against Orlando in the 2009 Eastern Conference finals....

Originally called the New York Downtown Athletic Club Trophy at its inception in 1935, the Heisman Trophy has seen some remarkable feats, including Army teammates Felix Blanchard and Glenn Davis becoming the only players from the same school to finish first and second in the voting (1945), Notre Dame QB Paul Horning being the only player to win the Heisman on a team with a sub-.500 record (1956), and Charlie Ward being the only Heisman winner to later play in the NBA (1993)....

Fans immediately arrived at the conclusion that this move was made so that the surprises that happen at Hell in a Cell do not get overshadowed. After all, Roman Reigns steals the show with whatever he does, and as a consequence, WWE’s twists on the same show would have felt underwhelming.

OK, so “Frequency’s” premise sounds hokey, and you do wince a little when you realize what sort of trip the movie intends to take you on. But director Gregory Hoblit (“Primal Fear”) has made a touching thriller, a movie that’s particularly hard to resist if there are things you never said to your own dad because you didn’t have the chance, the inclination or the right ham radio. Once they’ve made contact, John sets about saving his dad’s life, telling him precisely how to rescue a girl from a factory fire the next day....

Men & Hepatitis C There’s some debate in the medical community as to why there are gender differences when it comes to hepatitis C. What is known is that cases in women are more likely to be cleared without treatment. In addition, men are more likely to develop liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) due to infection and see significantly faster disease progression overall. What’s happening?

On March 18, President Donal Trump signed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act into law. It aims to provide paid sick leave to employees who weren’t previously covered and workers who only had a few days paid sick leave. The law will only apply to employees who cannot work due to the coronavirus and will not extend afterwards. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees will not be required to pay their employees sick leave and those with more than 500 employees are not mentioned in the bill, so employees are subject to their employer’s policies....
