Compared with provocative proposals like these, Dole’s more temperate stands can seem merely workmanlike–a fact the competition happily points out. And yet there is something conspicuously absent from Buchanan and Alexander’s bold plans: details. Ask Dole about welfare reform or cutting the deficit, and he will glaze your eyes with legislative specifics. Boring, sure. But unlike Democrats Paul Tsongas and Bill Clinton, who won points in their ‘92 primary race for issuing policy tomes, Buchanan and Alexander often can’t offer the skimpiest notion of how their ideas will work....

The Serbian world number one shrugged off a slow start to the match before hitting his stride, and sealed the win with a powerful first serve that forced a wayward Goffin return to end an encounter that lasted just over two hours. Australian Open champion Djokovic improved his stellar record for the year to 27-1 and will next face either Japan’s Kei Nishikori or Australian Nick Kyrgios, who were scheduled to play their semi-final later on Friday....

Djokovic highlighted a problem with the surface to the chair umpire late in his three-set win. “During the match I mentioned that there is a hole in the middle of the court, middle of the service line and he asked me to show him and I did. He was not very pleased to see that,” Djokovic told the BBC. The Serb is not the first player at this year’s tournament to comment negatively about the quality of the courts but said he understood the difficult job facing the groundstaff....

The 26-year-old Serb, the winner of the China Open in 2009, 2010 and 2012, recently became the ninth player to hold the world No.1 ranking for at least 100 weeks, reports Xinhua. “It means a lot because it’s a result that comes from hard work that we put in all these years. I owe a lot to my team, my family, all the friends and people who are close to me in my life,” Djokovic told a press conference here Saturday....

Pancreatic Enzymes The first study assessed the effectiveness of prescribing the pancreatic enzyme lipase to patients who suffer from the symptoms of diarrhea predominant IBS (IBS-D) following meals (postprandial). Lipase is an enzyme that assists with the digestion of fat. The study used a pancrelipase formulation known as PEZ. The study design required participants to identify their own trigger foods and to take either PEZ or a placebo prior to eating meals that contain those triggers....

It may sound like an innocuous jingle. But listen again: this commercial for St. Ides malt liquor has all the subtlety of a drive-by shooting. Broadcast on urban contemporary radio stations, the spot compares a bottle of the potent brew to a Smith & Wesson handgun. A few lines later, it alludes to pouring liquor “out on the curb for the homies,” a reference, in urban parlance, to the tradition of dumping beer into the street in honor of an absent–often deceased–gang member....

Physical therapists work in a variety of settings. You can find them in hospitals, nursing homes, and sports clinics. There are even physical therapists who can come to your home after an injury.

Physical therapist Dana Davis describes physical therapy as a conservative treatment method addressing the management, healing, and prevention of injuries and disabilities....

After a difficult start to the season, which included a home loss to Brighton & Hove Albion and that hugely embarrassing 4-0 loss at Brentford, Erik ten Hag has taken a firm grip on the tiller of a ship that has been listing in troubled waters for far too long. Fourth in the Premier League and alive in three knockout competitions, this could end up being a highly successful first term in charge for the former Ajax boss....

The verdict on whether pets can help you live longer is a bit astonishing, even to the researchers who discovered it. University of California, Riverside health researchers Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin analyzed data collected from an 80-year study of 1,500 people. The study, initiated in 1921 by psychologist Lewis Terman, is one of the only long-term studies that follow people from their childhood onward. About the Findings Subjects in their 60s were asked detailed questions about how often they played with pets....

Despite his outsize presence as one of two independent U.S. senators, Sanders is tied for second place, at 19 percent, with the similarly progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren, according to a CNN poll of New Hampshire Democrats released on Tuesday. Former Vice President Joe Biden is leading Democrats in the Granite State at 24 percent. Sanders is well-liked in the Northeast, and, given the proximity of his home state of Vermont, was expected to break through among New Hampshire residents....

“I missed him,” Puig’s half brother, Yoan Hernandez, told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday after seeing Puig at Estadio Latinoamericano, where Puig was taking part in a baseball clinic. Puig, who hasn’t been to Cuba in five years, and three other defectors were allowed to return to Cuba on a goodwill tour organized by MLB and the Cuban Baseball Federation.

The team still owes Wilson $9.5 million for the 2015 season. As expected, Wilson exercised his player option in the deal given to him by former Dodgers GM Ned Colletti. Wilson’s success with the Dodgers during 2013 (0.66 ERA in 18 games) was rewarded with a one-year, $10 million contract with the player option for 2015. He struggled this past season, though, with a 4.66 ERA and 54/29 K/BB ratio in 48 innings....

But the trio have made it to the final four of this year’s French Open, ending a run of 27 majors that has seen at least one of the sport’s greatest stars absent from the penultimate round. It is only the 12th time that Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have simultaneously made runs to the semi-finals at a grand slam. We look back at the previous occasions and see who has the best record....

Former world number one Djokovic has played just three tournaments since Wimbledon last year due to a long-standing elbow problem but has looked a long way from his intimidating best. The 12-time grand slam winner reached the round of 16 at the season-opening major in Australia but slumped to opening-match losses in both legs of the Sunshine Double in Indian Wells and Miami. Rumours he had split from Agassi began circling earlier this week and Djokovic has now confirmed the American, as well as Stepanek - who only joined his coaching team in December 2017, have gone their separate ways....
