Burns hit only his second Test century as England fought back at Hamilton, while captain Root ended a long wait with his first ton in the five-day game since February. Root’s 17th Test hundred will ease the pressure on the under-pressure skipper, who has consistently faced questions over whether the burden of the captaincy was affecting his form. He stood unbeaten on 114 but Burns was run out on 101, with England going on to lose the wickets of Ben Stokes and Zak Crawley before the close, leaving them on 269-5 in reply to New Zealand’s 375....

A street in South Salt Lake resembled something from a winter wonderland after the water formed magical structures blanketing a tree. The branches were dripping in icicles which wouldn’t look out of place in Disney’s Frozen, as passers-by snapped off crystals with a satisfying crunch. A clip of the captivating “ice tree” was shared to Reddit on Tuesday, by Zeek1016, who identified themselves as a local seventh grader. “A water pipe exploded next to my school,” they captioned the clip, which amassed more than 50,000 views after it was posted to the site’s Damn That’s Interesting forum, and can be seen here....

They bury the babies first thing every morning in the Kurdish refugee camp above the Turkish village of Isik Veren. The name means, “that which gives light.” The babies–about 20 last Wednesday, but the numbers vary with the weather–die each night of cold and starvation and disease. The tiny bodies are carefully dressed in their best clothes, and often swathed in traditional head scarves of black and white checks. Then they are laid to rest in shallow mass graves....

And it’s not who you think. Denny Hamlin believes he corrupted the communication with Darian Grubb by typically seeking out longtime engineer Mike Wheeler to talk about problems with the car. Kyle Busch, meanwhile, believes there was no issue in the communication between him and crew chief David Rogers, despite some heated exchanges on the radio. Rogers will be the crew chief for Hamlin in 2015, while Grubb will work with JGR newcomer Carl Edwards....

Busch battled for the lead with boss and teammate Tony Stewart after the green-white-checkered restart but neither could hold on for the win as Busch’s younger brother, Kyle, got by both of them for the win at Auto Club Speedway.

“What we’re actually seeing, if you take a step back, this is the end of 70 years of the American era in the world,” Richard Haass, who previously served as the U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland, said during a segment of MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “We are voluntarily abdicating our role, and it’s the Russians, Iranians and others who are benefitting or countries will simply take matters into their own hands,” the former diplomat, who is now the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, argued....

Sure, President Bush avoided the words Democrat and Republican. And there were no exhortations for legislation. But if that’s the definition of political, then there’s little that qualifies outside a 30-second TV ad and a State of the Union speech. Instead, the 9-11 anniversary speech carried all the hallmarks of politics as honed and polished by President Bush in the 12 years he has held public office. The most important hallmark is a passive-aggressive strategy—to land a punch without looking like you’re in a fight....

This time, this President Bush is determined to play both roles to the hilt. The evidence is in his State of the Union address (watched by 63 million people) and in the political flowcharts of Karl Rove’s jokingly named but deadly serious “Office of Strategery.” Simply put, the Bush-Rove strategy is this: leverage popularity from what they hope will be a successful strike against Saddam Hussein to propel a series of sweeping proposals through a Republican-controlled Congress by year-end....

Heavily armed agents arrested Yahweh early last Wednesday at a New Orleans hotel. Simultaneously, law-enforcement officers fanned out in four other Southern cities, pulling in 12 cult members. Another surrendered on Thursday, two days after a federal grand jury handed up an indictment charging the cult members with racketeering, what the FBI calls “a pattern of terrorism.” Sixteen of the 17 indicted were charged with ordering or committing a total of 14 murders....

“I depend on and count on my spouse every day, and our marriage deserves to be treated equally. And I don’t know why this would be hard for a senator or a congressman,” Buttigieg, the first openly gay U.S. Cabinet secretary, said during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. On Tuesday, the House passed the Respect for Marriage Act to codify protections for same-sex marriages into federal law....

Seguramente estarás dispuesto a esperar dos o tres minutos, pero más de diez no resulta nada práctico....

Thibodeau is so basketball-first that he can’t stand being too far away from the practice facility, which moved from Deerfield, Ill. , to Chicago this year. Thibodeau hasn’t found his ideal home yet in Chicago and preferred a hotel to an apartment lease because he makes enough money to afford it.

They’re currently holding on to the Eastern Conference’s eighth and final playoff spot at 22-23, heading into a matchup on the road against the Magic Tuesday night. However, that doesn’t mean the team, whose United Center flies six championship banners accumulated during the Michael Jordan era, can’t provide fans with one of the most interactive and engaging social media experiences in the league. That’s just what it did when it produced its very own murder mystery, starrting the Bulls’ mascot and cheerleaders known as the ‘Luvabulls’, on Snapchat....
