What would Buddha do? Drinking liquor, eating meat and, in general, spending huge sums on sensual indulgence would seem to conflict with the core Buddhist tenets of simplicity, vegetarianism and moderation. The Buddha wasn’t all that into cruising, either. “Men and women meeting each other without pure intentions violates mindfulness trainings,” says True Virtue, a fully ordained nun in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Vietnamese Zen tradition, at the Green Mountain Dharma Center in Vermont....

Donnarumma can surpass Buffon The Juventus goalkeeper surpasses fellow ‘keeper Iker Casillas and Latvia midfielder Vitalijs Astafjevs, who both have 167 caps to their name. He is also now joint-fifth on the overall list alongside former Ecuador defender Ivan Hurtado, though he still has some way to go to surpass world-record holder Ahmed Hassan of Egypt on 184 caps. Buffon has now also played 1000 matches as a professional when his international outings are added onto his club appearances for Parma and Juventus....

The absence of this grand tradition no doubt will represent a sacrifice for those who love German soccer, the Bundesliga or the sport in general. We have learned over the past two months, though, that the absence of sport itself is a far more obvious detriment. Young American talents Weston McKennie and Gio Reyna will be part of the most prominent game as the Bundesliga resumes its suspended season with a round of nine games May 16-18....

In the 22 playoff games this year before the World Series started, there were 27 sacrifice bunts, with seven apiece by the Giants and Royals. That figure is up sharply, from 18 sacrifices in 38 postseason games in 2013, and 24 in 37 games in 2012. The total number of sacrifices only includes successful attempts, and not such incidents as San Francisco’s Juan Perez failing to get a bunt down in Game 3 of the NLCS, then hitting a two-strike single as a key moment in the winning rally....

Burger King announced on Monday that it will trial the three new burgers before potentially launching them nationwide, as reported by Thrillist.

It is going to be a 14th meeting between the two teams in all competitions since 2000. The Walya Antelopes have dominated the proceedings, winning two of those matches, drawing once and losing once. The sides faced each other in the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in 2000 and 2001; Walya Antelopes won the first meeting 1-0 before prevailing in the second one through penalties after a 2-2 draw in regular time....

At the White House on that beautiful, clear morning, the occupants were running for their lives. Vice President Dick Cheney had already been hustled into a bunker designed to withstand the shock of a nuclear blast when, at about 9:30 a.m., Secret Service men told staffers leaving the West Wing to run, not walk, as far away as possible. “There’s a plane overhead, don’t look back!” shouted a policeman. Agents were yelling at women to shed their high-heeled shoes so they could run faster....

Are we about to witness a father-son version of “Groundhog Day”? This Bush ended 2001 as a popular commander in chief with sky-high approval ratings, a new sense of mission and a Republican Party flush with money. And yet Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was bullish. “We’re going to have a great 2002!” he declared. McAuliffe once rassled an alligator and later raised millions for President Bill Clinton....

Painter, a frequent critic of Trump and his administration, posted a series of tweets Sunday criticizing the policies being pushed forward and implemented under DeVos’ leadership. He warned that her Education Department is working to benefit for-profit colleges at the expense of students, while also taking steps to ease accreditation requirements, which could lead to a reduction in the quality of degree programs. “For-profit colleges (Corinthian Colleges, Trump University and more) are often a scam…And Betsy DeVos blames the student victims?...

The former quiz champion turned presenter is on screens this week as the show airs reruns of Cohen’s guest-hosting stint from the 2021 Tournament of Champions. The 36-year-old won the 2017 Tournament of Champions, but initially played as a contestant back in 2016. Cohen’s two-week appearance, which originally aired in May, is being repeated ahead of the new season premiere on September 13. After gaining recognition for his deft hosting capabilities initially earlier this year, the past two weeks’ reruns have propelled Cohen firmly back into viewers’ minds, distinguishing him as a worthy replacement for Alex Trebek....

That was one of the sentiments made by the talk show host of Real Time with Bill Maher to conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro on a coming episode of Shapiro’s The Ben Shapiro Show: Sunday Special. “Look I haven’t changed … at all. My politics haven’t changed. They’ve changed,” said Maher, referring to those on the left of the political aisle. Newsweek got an exclusive first look at portions of the show featuring the pair in a sit-down hourlong interview discussing topics from Russia’s war on Ukraine and how woke politics are alienating Hispanic voters to the coronavirus pandemic, free speech, climate change and the potential plans of former President Donald Trump in 2024....

“[Trump] is going to say Sunday that he’s the presumptive nominee for 2024. No one is going to oppose him – there are nine panels at the CPAC convention all about how the election was stolen, and none about why it was lost. That’s where they are,” Maher said Friday. “If you think that 2024 is not going to be a nail-biter or that he isn’t going to be the nominee, I think you’re being naive,” he added....

Snyder, who turned 78 in October, will finish his 26th season coaching Kansas State after his Wildcats’ Cactus Bowl matchup against 6-6 UCLA. His team is 7-5 this season, and 5-4 in Big 12 play. MORE: Sporting News 2017 All-Americans The 2017 season hasn’t been the easiest for Snyder or the Wildcats, which had loftier expectations after coming off a 9-4 season in 2016. That started, of course, when Snyder announced he had throat cancer in February, placing into question whether he’d even be able to coach this season....

The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act was introduced by Republican Congressman Vern Buchanan and Democrat Ted Deutch after it was passed by the House of Representatives on October 22. The bill aims to close a loophole which existed following the introduction of the 2010 Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act, which banned so-called “crush videos.” Crush videos are extreme acts of animal cruelty and torture—including stepping on, mutilating or skinning animals alive— which are posted online....

Their tactics may have had at least a partial payoff. An intense U.S. bombing campaign as well as commando operations by Afghans and American special forces troops left more than 200 Arab, Chechen, and Pakistani Al Qaeda fighters dead and at least 25 captured at the weekend, says Hazrat Ali, security chief of Nangrahar Province. But bin Laden’s whereabouts are still unknown–and hundreds more Al Qaeda fighters may have escaped too....
