The Warriors and Raptors don’t go as far back as some of the other teams that will face off on Rivals Week, but they are only a few years removed from meeting in the NBA Finals. Led by Kawhi Leonard, who was named Finals MVP for the second time in his career, the Raptors beat the Warriors in six games to record the first championship in franchise history. The Cavaliers are the only other team to defeat Stephen Curry’s Warriors in the Finals....

I’m not talking about the MSM “turning” on Obama, which did happen, to some extent, in the run-up to March 4. was the subject of 69 percent of all campaign articles last week, generating more coverage–most of it negative–than any other candidate in any other week this year. But that squall has passed (despite the candidate’s carping). The big problem for Obama going forward doesn’t have anything to do with reporters ragging on Tony Rezko, flogging the Austan Goolsbee flap or sharpening their stories in shame after...

First recognised as a national holiday in 1894, every year many employees are given the day off work. Traditionally observed on the first Monday in September, it was first signed into law by President Grover Cleveland. It’s also seen as a marker of the end of summer and beginning of fall and back-to-school season. But what does that mean for the Post Office? Is the Post Office Open on Labor Day?...

A minority of McCarthy’s own party colleagues have refused to vote for him and some have been highly critical of the California Republican, while some who back McCarthy have taken aim at his detractors. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who supports McCarthy, said on Wednesday that she was “furious” with her colleagues in the House Freedom Caucus who have refused to back McCarthy. Representative Scott Perry, chair of the Freedom Caucus, invoked the late President Ronald Reagan on Twitter on Thursday, suggesting it was necessary to “trust but verify” any potential deal on the speakership, utilising a phrase Reagan often used about the Soviet Union....

The Houston Texans released Reed on Tuesday, two days after losing their seventh straight game and, after the loss, he told reporters the team was “outplayed and outcoached’’ in Arizona, a shot seemingly aimed at defensive coordinator and interim head coach Wade Phillips. Unfortunately for Reed, it was also more than six months after undergoing offseason hip surgery — and nine months after the team with whom he had spent the previous 11 years of his career, won the Super Bowl in New Orleans....

Because of this, and the potential of serious consequences of infection in babies—which, in rare cases, includes death—women with genital herpes are often advised to consider a Cesarean (C-section) delivery instead of a vaginal one. That said, this may not be necessary in all cases. Risk of Transmission Only a small percentage of neonatal herpes transmissions occur during the pregnancy itself.

Pelosi is expected to visit Taiwan on Tuesday as part of a congressional delegation trip to Asia, Reuters reported. Speculation about the potential visit to Taiwan has drawn a strong response from China, which has long disputed Taiwanese independence. China, in recent days, has made several threats over Pelosi’s visit. Video posted to social media appearing to show the text “China, Russia is with you” displayed on Moscow’s Ostankino TV tower had received more than 350,000 views Monday afternoon....

In their brief public comments today, Gonzales and President Bush put the best face on the abrupt resignation of a mild-mannered lawyer who had improbably become one of the most divisive figures in the administration. Gonzales talked about how he had “lived the American dream.” Bush praised the service of his old friend from Texas and lamented that “his good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons.”...

When Illinois utility Commonwealth Edison wanted state lawmakers to back a hefty rate hike two years ago, it took a creative lobbying approach, concocting a new outfit that seemed devoted to the public interest: Consumers Organized for Reliable Electricity, or CORE. CORE ran TV ads warning of a “California-style energy crisis” if the rate increase wasn’t approved—but without disclosing the commercials were funded by Commonwealth Edison. The ad campaign provoked a brief uproar when its ties to the utility, which is owned by Exelon Corp....

Chennaiyin FC coach John Gregory was disappointed to leak in a late equaliser and believes that this should be a lesson for his side. “We normally run down the clock pretty well. I think there was mix-up over the throw in. We thought it was ours but was given to the opposition. They took it well and made the best of a chance. It was disappointing for us to concede late in the game....

The Spaniard was happy with the support showed by the home fans but was less than satisfied with the performances of his men. “I think the atmosphere was really good. The Delhi fans I think were of a high level, but the team, for me, wasn’t at a high level today. When we tried to play from the back, we found it very difficult,” he said at the post-match press conference....

His comments come amid growing tensions following a deadly drone strike on an Israeli-operated tanker off the coast of Oman. Israel, along with the U.S. and the U.K., has blamed Tehran for the attack on the Mercer Street last week that killed two people—the Romanian captain and a British crew member. Iran has denied involvement in the incident. “Israel is ready to attack Iran, yes,” Gantz told Ynet on Thursday....

The IDF warned the occupants of Gaza’s Al-Jalaa Tower on Saturday that an airstrike was imminent, resulting in a futile plea by the building’s owner to delay the attack and frantic scenes as inhabitants, including personnel from major news outlets such as The Associated Press and Al Jazeera scrambled to grab what equipment they could before evacuating. Less than an hour later, the 12-story structure was reduced to rubble....
