By most measures, “Dawson’s Creek” is not a popular show. It’s the 96th-rated program in prime time this season, with only about 3 million viewers a week. But it has something that higher-rated shows like CBS’s “Hack,” for example, may never have: fans as insanely devoted as Twkltoes1213. Which is why “Dawson’s” will be such a loss for the WB. The eyeballs will be easy to replace. But a beloved series that defines an entire network?...
Bulimic, alcoholic, irresponsible (she had filed for bankruptcy in 1991, claiming debts of more than $800,000 and some $6,000 in assets) – Margaux was all of those, and afflicted with epilepsy to boot. She was supposedly last seen on June 29 by a neighbor, who described her as looking ““haggard’’ and ““sad.’’ A friend found her already-decomposed body on the bed of her Santa Monica apartment two days later. Police said there was no evidence of foul play or drugs; toxicological tests could take several weeks....
For example, you might’ve organized a ton of your friends’ weddings, so you want to become a wedding planner. You already have a website, a portfolio, a fancy IG, and glowing testimonials. However, the “devil in the details” is that you need your small business license. The New York Times cited Ludwig Mies’ iconic expression in his obituary, which might’ve caused a surge in its usage. In 1969, “the devil is in the details” was also listed in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations....
The NFL has moved on, but Eagles-obsessed Sen. Arlen Specter wants to keep investigating the Patriots spying scandal. Don’t senators have anything better to do? Score: 14 Clinton booster Terry McAuliffe tells Tim Russert that Russert’s father “up in heaven” would support Hill’s staying in the race. The problem? “Big Russ” is alive and well. Score: 38 President George Bush claims that he quit golf in August ‘03 out of solidarity with the troops....
For now, the end game is mostly about grinding, trying to get more gear either through the Daily Story Missions or traversing the Dark Zone, but eventually The Division will offer meaningful end game content in the form of Incursions. But if players want to be ready for those Incursions they will now have to grind much harder than ever. During a brief server maintenance down time on March 12th, Ubisoft stealth patched The Division to make a few changes....

RELATED: The Elder Scrolls: Inconsistencies In The Series’ Lore For players booting Arena for the first time, they might be surprised to find that the game’s dated graphics don’t hold back the title’s sheer openness and the number of options available. And to those who want to maximize the experience, just how can they fully enjoy their first playthrough of the classic RPG? 8 Mind The Saves Unlike other Elder Scrolls games, Arena is unfortunately plagued with potential bugs while still being fit to run on most low-end computers....
Morrowind, Skyrim, and Daggerfall are all just a handful of areas in The Elder Scrolls that have each become instantly recognizable fantasy locations. With each new entry in the franchise, the world becomes even bigger, and more cities and civilizations are fleshed out. According to the latest rumors, The Elder Scrolls 6 is set to introduce players to High Rock, a Northwest region of Tamriel that’s home to the Breton civilization....
Competitors have tried to make WWE run for their money quite a few times but no one came close except for Ted Turner owned WCW. WCW gave WWE a tough fight in the 90s (aka Monday Night Wars) but lost the overall battle after being acquired by the rivals themselves in 2001. Since then, a few major wrestling promotions did emerge in and around the world but not even a single one of them came close to dethrone the undisputed king....
More anything, it’s fair to say Adam Sandler keeps winning. Although critically panned most of the time, his films (produced under his company, Happy Maddison) never fail to turn a massive profit, with stand-out examples like Grown Ups, Just Go With It, and Pixels each bringing in hundreds of millions on their own. Even weirder, despite how crass and thoughtless his films often are, fans cannot get enough – where does this enduring, baffling appeal come from?...
It’s hard to believe anyone could have failed to notice what the accountants, reverting to understatement, called a “foreseeable event.” A decade ago the European Union decided to launch the euro as its most practical and powerful symbol of unity. Many nations opted out, determined to protect their beloved banknotes, but most threw in. On the first of January 1999, continental Europe started setting many prices in both local money and the euro, which remains a “virtual currency,” good for stocks, banks or most any transaction that does not require cash....
I ran the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)—the statistical arm of the U.S. Department of Justice—from late 2017 to early 2021. BJS statistics make clear that Soros’s claim of injustice is wildly off the mark. For starters, Soros is wrong to say that black people are five times as likely as white people to be in jail. The actual ratio is 3.5 to 1, and it hasn’t been 5 to 1 in 20 years....
A government-imposed vaccine mandate for all citizens remains off the table, at least for now. Requirements that government employees get a shot seem to have a stronger legal basis, but resistance is bubbling among the ranks of municipal police and fire departments. Even the military has heard some grumbles. President Joe Biden has demanded that companies with more than 100 employees require vaccines—threatening federal punishment for those that don’t comply—but the enforcement structures for that plan are still under construction....
Keys’s work has long been regarded as classic, but even his devotees have hesitated to recommend that Americans start eating like Cretan peasants. Until now. Last month Walter Willett, chairman of the Nutrition Department at the Harvard School of Public Health, and Frank M. Sacks, a cardiovascular-disease researcher at Harvard Medical School, published an editorial in The New England Journal of Medicine in favor of “the traditional Mediterranean diet”–Complete with 35 to 40 percent of its calories from fat, chiefly olive oil....
The story begins from 1896 when Sir Ranjit Jadeja made his test debut vs Australia playing from the England side. He was the first Indian to play cricket and that too from England team as there was no Indian team in 1896. In his first-class career he played around 307 matches and with an average of 56.37 he scored 24,692 runs including 72 (100s) and 109 (50s). He revolutionized the game of cricket with his unorthodox techniques and invented the Leg Glance and Late Cut shots....
FOR FUTURE WHITE HOUSE AIDES, REQUIRED READING (Dan Balz, Washington Post) The people who should sit down and read Scott McClellan’s blockbuster new book are the people least likely to take the time to do so right now. They are the aides to Barack Obama, John McCain and Hillary Clinton – and perhaps the candidates themselves… The simple reason is that many of the people now staffing the candidates’ campaigns share the qualities and traits of a younger Scott McClellan – caught up in the excitement of a great cause (to elect their candidate president) and now fully knowing what will await if they end up in the next White House as aides to the 44th president of the United States....
The Culling will hit Steam Early Access on March 8th, with its full release date and other possible platforms yet to be announced. Billed as a multiplayer survival game, The Culling clearly takes inspiration from the aforementioned Battle Royale and The Hunger Games, pitting players against one another in a harsh environment as they try to be the last competitor standing. Battles in The Culling will consist of 16 players, who will all have 20 minutes to compete....
Most Europeans have probably never read Schar’s report (not least because it was published in the scientific journal Nature in the dead of winter) but they seem to be bracing themselves for the worst. As part of its new national “heat-wave plan,” France issued a level-three alert when temperatures in Provence reached 34 degrees Celsius three days in a row; hospital and rescue workers were asked to prepare for an influx of patients....
At a panel on sports blogging, author Buzz Bissinger goes berserk on Deadspin blogger Will Leitch, bullying and cursing away what could’ve been some valid points about journalism. Score: 43 Here’s how bad it’s gotten for Roger Clemens: all those alleged affairs come to light, including one with a country-music star that began when she was 15—and no one is shocked. Score: 55
As fans have come to discover, The Division is chock full of shout-outs and nods to pop culture, with everything from Batman to even Ubisoft itself getting referenced in the wildly popular online shooter. As The Division is set in a near-picture perfect recreation of New York City, it seems as though the development team at Ubisoft was keen to fill the Big Apple with references to its storied history, including the city’s most famous sewer-dwelling denizens, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....
