West qualified to appear on Virginia’s ballot as an independent candidate for the November 3 election after his campaign managed to meet the state’s minimum requirement of 5,000 petition signatures, with at least 200 from each congressional district. He also apparently got the necessary backing of 13 electors—those who would cast their votes for him in the Electoral College—should he win in Virginia. However, two of those electors have signed affidavits saying they were deceived into confirming their support and a further nine could be invalidated because of other irregularities....

The Hokies haven’t been the same since beating Ohio State on the road back in September. Since then, they have gone 2-3 with wins over North Carolina and Western Michigan. On Thursday night, the Hokies could not stop Hurricanes running back Duke Johnson, nor could they hold on to the football. It was an ugly night for fans. Unless of course, you were this lady. She seemed to have bigger things on her mind than watching a blowout....

Zelensky has been able to avoid these attacks thanks to the cooperation of anti-war intelligence officers in Russia’s Federal Security Services (FSB) who tipped off the Ukrainian forces, according to reports. The head of Ukraine’s National Security Council, Oleksiy Danilov, told local media that Zelensky had survived three assassination attempts, according to a Mail Online article.

Located in the center of the nasal cavity, the vomer is a thin, unpaired bone of the face and skull (cranium). This small, trapezoidal bone serves as part of the nasal septum, which is the middle wall of the nasal respiratory cavity. It attaches to important bones of the skull, as well as the band of cartilage that help shape the nose and face. Since it is located in the nose, the vomer can be damaged due to nasal fracture or injury....

MORE: Each NFL team’s most overrated player since 2000 When you look at the overall numbers it seems clear that receiving the highest value was a must have for Miller. While he failed to reach the salary cap inflated value of Suh’s contract, Suh had significantly more leverage as an unrestricted free agent than Miller, who got a franchise tag. Miller’s contract significantly outpaced Justin Houston’s, who was in a comparable situation in 2015....

Vin Scully works alone, which means that when he is in the booth, it is an entirely different experience than watching any other baseball game. There is no analyst in the booth with his own agenda and points to push, but don’t mistake the lack of another person with Scully for a lack of conversation. The conversation is between broadcaster and viewer, and while it might be one-sided, the dynamic has been finely honed over decades....

In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Riju Dasgupta, he recalled how WWE writers watched the moment between Hogan and The Wall with McMahon:...

The Desert Vipers started their campaign in some style, beating the Sharjah Warriors with relative ease. While their bowling unit fired in unison, the Vipers made light work of a tricky target courtesy of an Alex Hales special. They will look to sustain their unbeaten start against the Knight Riders, who are still on the lookout for their first win of the season. Despite a star-studded side to fall back on, the Knight Riders haven’t clicked as a unit and will rely on the superstar duo of Sunil Narine and Andre Russell to bail them out of a rut....

Warne’s side may raise a few eyebrows not only because of the omissions of some key players and some surprising inclusions but also because of the fact that it contains just three front-line bowlers while having as many all-rounders in it. West Indies are the most represented side with four players, while there are two from Australia and one each from New Zealand, India, South Africa, England and Bangladesh....

Just as everyone is preparing for the mega event, though, a massive tremor is felt across the board. Not just in India but throughout the cricketing community. Kohli, whose white ball captaincy, despite the lack of an ICC trophy, seemed sacrilegious, announces that he will be stepping down as T20I skipper. In a heartfelt social media post, he also hints that he remains focussed on captaining India in ODIs and Test cricket....

Kohli wrote in a statement. He went on to add: The 33-year-old, who led India to the maiden World Test Championship final, added: BCCI congratulates Virat Kohli for taking India to unprecedented heights The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) congratulated Kohli on his stint as skipper. The BCCI tweeted: Virat Kohli went on to thank the board, former head coach Ravi Shastri, who largely oversaw Kohli’s tenure as skipper, and his predecessor, MS Dhoni....

Aakash Chopra, however, has no regrets about his brief dalliance with the Indian team. The former opener knew that with the likes of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman in the Indian middle-order, the only slot open in the Indian playing XI was alongside Virender Sehwag.

As part of a “key strategy to achieve educational equity,” Brabrand said he is gathering “input” to “support more inclusive and equitable curriculum policies.” The survey asked parents loaded questions, such as whether they agree “anti-racist” and “anti-biased” curricula would best “support” students. It asked if they agree that the school district should “teach students how to challenge power and privilege in society.” And its many questions baited parents to spell out how important it is for staff to “discuss topics of race, racism, identity, bias” with students....
