The Jaguars rookie pass rusher and first-round pick is dealing with a knee contusion and didn’t participate in practice Thursday, the team announced. Allen suffered the injury in the team’s first OTA session on Tuesday and also is expected to sit out Friday, though Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said it’s just a precautionary measure and he isn’t worried about him being sidelined for an extended period. “We’re just keeping him on the side, working,” Marrone said....

Fillet steaks, prosciutto ham and chocolates were among some of the items which cost 9,000 Euros ($10,585) at the prison in Ireland.

The remarks stem from Saturday’s game at Citi Field, when Frazier was tossed from the game for screaming at Arrieta and the home plate umpire after he was hit by a pitch. The reaction prompted Arrieta to lose his cool and say he would “put a dent in his skull....

Paul started his boxing career with knockouts of a fellow YouTuber and a former NBA slam dunk champion. The critics said he had yet to face a real fighter; on Saturday, he was paired with Askren.

It is a portrait of reticence that would strike most Arkansans back home as unrecognizable. There, Janet Huckabee, 52, has long been known as a straight-talking, independent-minded good ole gal with a daredevil streak and a passion for the outdoors. Dubbed the “First Tomboy” when her husband was governor, she tracked bears, hunted rattlesnakes, fired a grenade launcher and jumped out of an airplane.

Space junk is a well-documented and growing problem. Now more than ever, modern life is underpinned by the thousands of satellites that orbit our planet, providing location data for our GPS systems, military intelligence, and telecommunications. But satellites don’t last forever, and when they inevitably break they remain speeding round the Earth until trace amounts of resistance eventually slows them down enough to re-enter the atmosphere and burn up. This whole process can take years....
