His possession numbers aren’t great compared to those of his teammates despite getting sheltered minutes, and he’s spent much of the past year, including the Kings’ Stanley Cup run, on the fourth line. But Richards, despite his decline, is almost certainly an NHL-caliber player. His possession numbers may stink relative to the rest of the Kings, but he’s been above 50 percent Corsi For during all but one of his seasons in Los Angeles....

Veterinary medicine’s loss is genetics’ gain. The not-for-profit TIGR is one of the world’s pre-eminent decoders of microbial and plant genomes. It started back in 1992 with an argument. Fraser’s husband, Craig Venter, believed he had a faster method of sequencing the human genome. The National Institutes of Health, where he worked, disagreed. So Venter left. Fraser, working at the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, was having her own job angst and went with him....

The rain didn’t stop Clemson fans from showing up with some of the best game day signs of the season.

Well, as fate would have it, Stoudt did exactly that. He threw for 319 yards, finished with three touchdowns and no interceptions. It seemed like a safe bet at the time. Stoudt had thrown eight interceptions in his last five games and only surpassed 300 yards once this season. Now, it’s easy for someone to say something like that on the Internet and then not back it up. But this user wasn’t going to back out of his bet....

The Tigers, favored by 9.5 points over the Seminoles, led by four, 24-20, as Florida State began its final possession. As the Seminoles were throwing multiple laterals on the game’s final snap trying to score a winning touchdown, quarterback Jordan Travis threw his lateral back into the middle of the field, but running back Lawrance Toafili couldn’t make the grab. Instead, Clemson linebacker Barrett Carter scooped up the loose ball near the goal line and then fell into the end zone....

Game time is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN. This is an interesting spot for Clemson (2-1), the six-time defending ACC champions under coach Dabo Swinney. The Tigers needed a goal-line stand to preserve a 14-8 victory against Georgia Tech in Week 3. The offense has sputtered with new quarterback D.J.

While creations based on The Legend of Zelda, Crash Bandicoot, and The Witcher are a ton of fun, designs of that kind will not fit well on any island.

Bush’s original sin was to politicize U.S. intervention in Iraq. He used the war to transform an aimless presidency into one of Churchillian dimensions, and now that it’s all turned sour, he has nothing to fall back on. Bush is as beleaguered now as Lyndon Johnson was during Vietnam—with one key difference. The worse the news is from Iraq, the more positive Bush is that he’s right. As Vietnam raged on, Johnson became less certain he was doing the right thing....
