McIlroy snubs Reed, in no mood for reconciliation in Dubai

3 days ago MySA

McIlroy said he was busy practicing and didn’t feel the need to acknowledge Reed. “Patrick came up to say hello and I didn’t really want him to,” McIlroy said Wednesday. He didn’t provide specifics about the subpoena, but Reed last month refiled a defamation lawsuit. It’s clear McIlroy is in no mood for reconciliation in Dubai.

47 dead, dozens feared missing as storm lashes Philippines

Five other people died elsewhere from the onslaught of Tropical Storm Nalgae, which slammed into the eastern province of Camarines Sur early Saturday, the government’s disaster-response agency said.

The coast guard issued pictures of its rescuers, wading in chest-high floodwaters to rescue the elderly and children in Maguindanao.

Man United flying high after City win and Liverpool loss

Beating City 2-1 strengthened the rising belief that Ten Hag is turning the fortunes around for the 20-time English champion. United is up to third on the table — a point behind City and six off leader Arsenal, which plays Tottenham on Sunday. United was 10 points clear of its fiercest rival Liverpool, which suffered a sixth league loss at Brighton, and first there since 1961. "What we’ve found this year is that we can’t finish the chances when we get them,” West Ham manager David Moyes said. The striker converted a first half-penalty, which continued his perfect record from the spot for the Bees, with 21 scored from 21 attempts.

Elon Musk Could End Twitter Bans on These Seven Accounts

(Bloomberg) -- Now that Elon Musk has taken over Twitter Inc., users are waiting to see if the billionaire’s distaste for lifetime bans means that high-profile personalities who were blocked from the site will be allowed back on. Twitter says it will take down posts that are abusive, violent or obscene or that infringe on trademarks, impersonate someone or are spam. Musk, who describes himself as a free-speech advocate, is likely to get rid of permanent bans, a person familiar with the matter has said. Twitter said posts from the @realDonaldTrump account and the reaction people had to them risked inciting violence. Seth Dillon, the chief executive officer, said in April that Musk had reached out to the company to confirm it had been suspended from Twitter prior to his poll on free speech.

10 reasons to watch the Texas Longhorns in the Alamo Bowl

Another year, another bowl game for the Longhorns stranded in the dead zone between Christmas and New Year's Day. In fact, since the College Football Playoff came to fruition in 2014, the Longhorns haven't even sniffed the annual tournament.

Buc-ee's stores are the new malls for locals, visitors alike

My hypothesis, after speaking with folks, particularly youngsters, was that the larger Buc-ee’s stores — New Braunfels, Melissa, Katy, and more — were utilized less as travel stops on the way in or out of town and more like malls. Jerry Lara /San Antonio Express-NewsOf course, Buc-ee’s doesn’t serve nearly all the functions that an actual mall does. Customers can, particularly at the larger stores, enjoy a facsimile of many of the stores in a mall, though. Chris O'Connell/MySAJust VibesThe trend of bigger and better will continue for Buc-ee's, which doesn't appear to create small stores anymore. But I also wanted to know how non-locals spent their time in the larger Buc-ee’s stores.
