Announced via a statement on John Krasinski’s Twitter, it appears the highly-anticipated horror sequel will be delayed to an as of yet unspecified date. Krasinski claims that this is to allow for fans to all see the movie at the same time, with the director worrying that many won’t be able to view the movie due to the Coronavirus’ viral spread across many of the biggest countries in the world....

Toxicology reports and multiple investigations are still pending, and Dr. Dean Norman, chief of staff of the hospital, says that details of the five overdose deaths vary by case. But veterans treated at the hospital say that lax supervision of prescription drugs was a serious problem, particularly in the domiciliary, the dorm-like residential halls the VA uses to help veterans make the transition to life outside the hospital. “They were handing the meds out like candy,” said Joe Romo, a member of the local AMVETS post....

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Hanley Ramirez grounded into a fielder’s choice, sealing Manaea’s no-hit bid and a 3-0 Oakland win. It’s the first time Boston has been no-hit since April 22, 1993, and the first no-no thrown by an A’s pitcher since Dallas Braden’s perfect game in 2010. Manaea, 26, completed the feat in a tidy 136 minutes. He struck out 10 batters, walking two, on 108 pitches (75 strikes)....

The chief question Kingsolver poses in “Pigs in Heaven” is who wins in “a conflict between individual and community values.” But she also explores what it’s like to be poor in America. “Fiction creates empathy, and empathy is the antidote to meanness of spirit,” she says. “Nonfiction can tell you about the plight of working people, of single mothers, but in a novel you become the character; touch what she touches, struggle with her self-doubt....

The organizer, Irineo Mujica, said that the caravans expect to meet in Veracruz on November 18. From there, they will head toward the Arizona-Mexico border. This deviates from the original plan to end this journey—which started near the border of Guatemala—in Mexico City. “We are not going to Mexico City, we are now going the northern border, we are going to Sonora,” Mujica said this week in a video posted to social media that was reported on by Border Report....

Cricket has been a game given by Britain to most of the established teams. However one of the most conspicuous absence from International cricket has been a Wales Cricket Team. It is surprising because we see other members of United Kingdom like Ireland (N Ireland plays as part of Ireland) and Scotland also playing and having decent standards. It becomes even more surprising when we get to know that channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey have their own separate teams!...

“We are still grappling with the clandestine network we dis-covered a few years back,” IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei said last week, referring to the web created by AQ Khan of Pakistan. “When we know now that on a CD-ROM you have designs for centrifuges [capable of enriching uranium to weapons-grade] and possibly even weapons designs, that makes you very worried.” So does the record of even the most successful investigations so far....

The troubling evidence further divided Los Angeles, already split over the case - and the future of Police Chief Daryl Gates. A Los Angeles Times poll showed that 31 percent want the police chief to resign immediately; another 31 percent say he should go if the indicted officers are convicted. The black community, bolstered by an ACLU advertising campaign, continued to organize anti-Gates protests. Some of the city’s labor leaders called for “the formation of something similar to the Knapp Commission,” the independent citizens’ group that investigated police corruption in New York City in the 1970s....

For decades after the publication of the books, the film rights to The Lord of the Rings passed through several hands. Hands as illustrious as John Boorman, Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas attempted to take a swing at producing the epic for the big screen. Throughout all that only meager animations and a few Tolkien inspired fantasy films, such as Excalibur or Willow, came of it. The turn of the century proved to be the right time, New Zealand the right place, and Peter Jackson the right person to firmly establish The Lord of the Rings as the quintessential cinematic masterpiece....
