Bush’s spokesman, Ari Fleischer, revealed that “the president’s first reaction [to the events in Russia] is sorrow that other nations around the world are being victimized by terrorists.” The notion of Moscow as victim in this conflict is strange. To review the history briefly: The Chechens were forced into the Russian Empire in 1862, after 45 years of bloody resistance. They were granted independence in 1918, but in 1920 the Soviet Union invaded the country again and brutally suppressed periodic revolts....

These aren’t your typical blackheads and pustules (although you may have those, too). Nodulocystic breakouts are larger and deeper than average pimples. Nodulocystic acne breakouts are painful, and they often leave scarring. You can get nodulocystic acne on the face and neck, back, chest, and shoulders. You may have just a few nodulocystic breakouts or many. Either way, this type of acne should always be treated by a dermatologist....

Kim Jong Un’s regime has not issued an official statement since Wednesday, the Yonhap news agency reported, when his sister and senior aide Kim Yo Jong branded South Korean President Moon Jae-in “disgusting” and “impudent” for failing to stop propaganda balloons being floated into the North by defectors from the South. Pyongyang-watchers are waiting to see if the silence portends a fresh escalation following the destruction of the inter-Korean liaison office in the Northern city of Kaesong on Tuesday....

Lars Lagerback’s Norway, in contrast, is in danger of missing out altogether if they fall against Spain on Saturday and against Romania next week. They are 4th in the group, 2 points off second place. They have lost only once, but a series of draws has put them in the unflattering position they currently find themselves. The last time these sides met, it was an intense affair, but the Spaniards edged their opponents 2-1, thanks to a Sergio Ramos goal from the penalty spot....

President Richard Nixon’s fall was the culmination of the appointment of a special prosecutor, congressional impeachment investigations, Supreme Court rulings and aggressive reporting—tools in our country’s checks and balances toolbox—that catalyzed the public to demand accountability for unprecedented abuses of power from a sitting president. But it was insider evidence that fueled this engine of democracy. Watergate burglar James McCord disclosed in a letter to Judge John Sirica, written after his conviction, that the White House applied political pressure on the defendants to stay silent and commit perjury to cover up high-level knowledge of and involvement in the burglary....

The answer will be a resounding “yes” according to anybody not associated with the Golden Dome. Not so much because of the violations, which likely won’t bring the NCAA to town....

The Notre Dame senior guard said he was no longer enrolled in the university because of "an academic matter that I did not handle properly." "I take full responsibility for my lack of good judgment and the poor decision that I made. I have no one to blame but myself for the situation. I know and understand the expectations that go with being a student at Notre Dame and I did not live up to those standards," Grant said in a statement issued by the university....

“When you go off on your own by yourself, or even if you have some guys that you hang with, it’s not the guys that you’ve been with for three or four years,” Grant said Thursday in his first comments to the media since being suspended in December. “Just being able to be around those guys that have been like brothers to you is something that was really important to me....

Well, one can say it is the combination of all these factors which sum up to the end result but if there was one significant factor that dominates the end outcome, it has to be the mental toughness of any athlete playing the sport. Generally, many players have great skills, they can be a workhorse, going through their routine day in and day out but what separates the best from the rest and further the very best from the best is the mental strength and composure....
