Not that anyone here on the set was talking about money. His first dino movie may be the highest grossing of all time, but Spielberg will tell you gate receipts weren’t the reason for a sequel. ““I just decided to do it,’’ he said, explaining his f irst directing stint since ““Schindler’s List.’’ ““I had a great time doing the first “Jurassic,’ and if I thought about it too much, I’d talk my way out of anything....
He was on the cusp of losing his fourth straight hole Wednesday when Woods poured in a 10-foot par putt, and Aaron Wise three-putted from 30 feet. Just like that, momentum swung in his favor. Woods won three of the next six holes and won his opening match. The round-robin format is new to Woods, who last played this event in 2013. He had never been to Austin Country Club....
She faced it all with her crisp and often sardonic British humor. After her first surgery and chemotherapy in 1993 caused her to shed 30 pounds from her size 14 frame, she joked that it was the first time in her life she looked remotely like the models featured on the pages of her magazine. After a 1995 bone-marrow transplant, when the chemotherapy turned a mole on her breast coal black, she quipped that it was “very Cindy Crawford,” but she also knew that it was an indication that she was “being fried from the inside out....
What Is an AAF File? A file with the AAF file extension is an Advanced Authoring Format file. It contains complex multimedia information like video and audio clips, as well as metadata information for that content and project. Most video editing programs utilize proprietary formats for their project files. When multiple programs support the importing and exporting of AAF files, it’s easy to move the working contents of a project from one application to another....
First-year Yankees manager Aaron Boone is letting his imagination run, and that’s exactly what he sees: Judge as a table-setter. “I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s likely, but something like that I would consider,” Boone told reporters Tuesday, per MLB.com. “I’ve thought about it.” FANTASY OF RANKINGS: Judge, Stanton listed back to back Boone doubtless is thinking “instant offense.” Judge had a 1.182 OPS (.439 OBP, .742 SLG) and 11 home runs in 114 plate appearances leading off an inning last season....
Rodgers tested positive this week for COVID-19 and that test will force Rodgers out of Sunday’s crucial interconference showdown between the Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox). Jordan Love, a first-round pick from the 2020 draft of the Packers, is set to make his first professional start in Rodgers’ place. In the wake of this uncanny week, Wisconsin-based health provider Prevea has severed ties with Rodgers....
SEASON PREVIEW: AFC picks | NFC picks | Super Bowl pick The Packers quarterback, who is estranged from Jordan, said Monday he hasn’t watched the show and won’t delve into family matters. “As far as those kinds of things go, I’ve always found that it’s a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters, so I’m just — I’m not going to speak on those things, but I wish him well in the competition,” Aaron told reporters, via WISN....
This conversation reached monumental levels late Monday night when he posted a long Instagram post featuring pictures of loved ones and teammates. He was clearly expressing gratitude, but the timing was odd and was obviously going to generate a ton of conversation. He also had an interview scheduled for Tuesday afternoon on the Pat McAfee Show. The timing for everything was too perfect and over 100,000 people tuned in to see what he would say....
How could that happen to a Super Bowl contender with a Hall of Fame quarterback who’s coming off an MVP season? Well, that quarterback offered a surprisingly frank explanation in his postgame comments: overconfidence. IYER: Worst overreactions from Week 1 “We probably felt like we were going to go up and down the field on whoever they had out there and that obviously wasn’t the case today,” Aaron Rodgers said, per ESPN....
After the group won the Eurovision Song Contest with their hit “Waterloo” in 1974, they catapulted into the spotlight and achieved international fame. The group had 20 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 over their short time together, which came to an end after the group’s relationships fell apart. At the center of the band were two marriages between Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog, and Benny Andersson and Anni-Fri (Frida) Lyngstad, both of which broke down by 1982....
“That is a dream of a lot of people at ABC. I’m hearing that there’s a remote possibility of something. It’s at the very beginning [stages],” Burke told The Hollywood Reporter at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour. “Happy Endings was certainly one of my favorite ABC shows.” The Chicago-set sitcom, created by David Caspe, followed six young adults trying to figure out—yet often failing at—adulthood. Never a rating success, the show had a fiercely loyal fan base....
The brazen act threatened the internal deliberative process on which the Court relies for its day-to-day functioning and spurred illegal protests outside the homes of justices. Those protests attempted to cow the justices into deciding Dobbs the way the pro-abortion mob wanted, culminating in an assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The damage done to the Court as an institution was incalculable, and perhaps irrevocable. At the time, Chief Justice John Roberts called the leak a “singular and egregious breach” and a “betrayal of the confidences of the Court,” and ordered an investigation into its provenance....
“Discovered” last year by a modeling agency talent scout, Junqueira spends most of her time these days negotiating with agents, posing for magazine covers, granting interviews–and learning Japanese. She recently returned from two months in Japan, where she modeled for department stores, Web sites and mail-order catalogs. With her flowing chestnut hair, sparkling brown eyes and impish smile, she quickly won over her clients. “Emi-chan”–charming little Emi–they called her. Last week she boarded a Japan Airlines flight again, and if all goes according to plan she will spend the rest of her teens flying between Brasilia, Tokyo and Osaka....
Nadar’s great pictures started back in photography’s toddlerhood - about 15 years after its invention in 1839 - when you still had to work like hell to get an image at all. Difficulty begets a certain visual integrity. But the perfection of the collodion emulsion process in 1852 also made it possible to take a portrait in two seconds. Using arrestingly minimal backdrops, Nadar posed his subjects with an uncommon individuality and got them to relax (he sometimes snapped the shutter while they were unaware)....
Whitney is billed as the only plantation museum in Louisiana “with an exclusive focus on the lives of enslaved people.” But some visitors, apparently, prefer their trip to a Southern plantation to avoid unpleasantness. That seemed to be the perspective in a two-star review on Google that was screenshot and tweeted on August 7 by Saira Rao, a first generation Indian American and former congressional candidate from Colorado. “My husband and I were extremely disappointed in this tour,” the review starts....
Sorry, Brock, but you’d better get used to it. After months of hype, last week Microsoft launched its new online service, The Microsoft Network. Among its features: a news division run by a dozen or so Microsoft scribes. And Bill Gates isn’t the only one vying to become an Internet News Mogul and gain control of millions of dollars in subscription fees and ad revenue that could come with the title....
The APC column rumbled down the hill, bounced over a dirt road a few hundred meters, then entered the refugee camp. Crammed inside his armored shell, Binyamin (a pseudonym) couldn’t see a thing, but the ping and crackle of bullets from Kalashnikovs and M-16s was incessant and terrifying. The APCs screeched to a stop in an alley somewhere near the center; as Binyamin leapt outside, snipers perched on rooftops fired at the vehicle, narrowly missing him....
As a matter of fact, there are. The movie couldn’t be more timely: while Congress cowers, taxpayers are beginning to rethink a policy that costs them $20 billion a year. Voters in five states approved drug-reform ballot initiatives in November. In California, the little-noticed but landmark Proposition 36 requires that nonviolent offenders be treated instead of jailed. As many as 37,000 fewer Californians will be incarcerated annually, saving hundreds of millions of dollars....
