Saturday’s fixture against third-tier opponents could give them some respite, but Ranieri feels the Foxes should not be expected to come out on top. “They have beaten two Premier League teams,” under-pressure Ranieri said at his pre-match media conference. Morgan wants Leicester out of mess “We know this. We are the underdogs if they beat Bournemouth and Watford, who are above us in the league....

Replays appeared to suggest that Vardy had been put off balance by a tussle with Glen Johnson moments before the collision, however, which the Foxes felt ought to have been a mitigating factor when the case was reviewed by the FA....
Zodiac signs form different aspects with each other on the zodiac wheel chart, which can predict their compatibility. Leo and Aries form a trine aspect, so they’re 4 signs apart on the zodiac—and a naturally strong match. [1] X Research source Aquarius and Leo are opposites on the zodiac wheel, or 6 signs apart. That means there’s a powerful attraction between them, although they may also have some tension. Leo tends to love roleplay, and Aquarius is a great partner for Leo to experiment with....
Forget about those proposals for pitch clocks, a new strike zone, eliminating the four-pitch intentional walk or even shortening games to seven innings. None of them is necessary to improve the game, and they all miss a key point that’s a big part of baseball’s beauty and popularity as a spectator sport: Baseball games are great for multitasking. Yes, I’m serious. FAGAN: Cubs poised for World Series return Don’t like the down time during games?...
Don’t make the usual Social Security fixes. The last time we “fixed” Social Security was 1983, when we followed the Greenspan Commission’s recommendations and raised Social Security taxes and cut back benefit growth. Social Security’s number crunchers declared the system solvent, but the problem wasn’t fixed. That’s because although the plan created temporary Social Security surpluses, they’ve gone to subsidize about $2 trillion of other government spending rather than being saved to pay future benefits....

A: Not likely. When you write to Prudential with a question, they normally lob it to a local insurance agent, who in your case tried to make a meal of you. Had he been smart enough to answer your question and offer some options, he might have won an invitation to talk further-and maybe even made a sale. Instead, he gave you yet more reason to do your retirement planning with USAA....
Defense attorney Joseph Bondy tweeted that Bolton believed in the existence of the “same Presidential quid pro quo” described by his client, responding to a post by the president refuting the reported claims of his former adviser. Parnas’ attorney also used two hashtags pushing for Senate lawmakers to call on witness testimony from Bolton during the ongoing impeachment trial. His comments last night came shortly after The New York Times reported that Bolton had claimed Trump told him nearly $400 million in assistance to Ukraine was being delayed until the country began investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden....

We do–and she did. After all, Lewinsky got her own show; Bill Clinton got a dull date with Bob Dole on “60 Minutes.” Still, you can sense how difficult this has been, how ambivalent Lewinsky is about stepping into the limelight. Ask her what kind of makeover she’s had for the show, and she jumps to all the wrong conclusions. “Oh, come on now. I’ve never had a makeover. I feel like you’re asking me how vain I am,” she says....
The Associated Press interviewed activists in the North African country, including Tunisian Association for Justice and Equality President Badr Baabou. He was subjected to an attack in October by a police officer and an accomplice, in which he was thrown to the ground and beaten.

Levy: Using chess terms, describe your current political situation. Kasparov: Chess probably is not the best comparison, because in chess we are all playing by the rules. This regime refused to play by the rules for many years. The only good sign lately was that they had to make one legal move, which is to decide Putin’s future, and this is the move that you cannot take back. [By law, Putin could not continue in his post and chose bureaucrat Dmitry Medvedev as his successor....
