This doesn’t seem to be much of a problem for Khamzat Chimaev, who has now run through three UFC opponents between July and September. Despite his unranked status, he will be headlining the December 19th card against the number three ranked Welterweight Leon Edwards. A win over Leon Edwards would be historic for Khamzat Chimaev, who would likely enter the top five without a single win against a ranked fighter....
The Lakers have not made the postseason since 2012-13 but were hopeful that would change after signing James to a four-year contract last year. However, Los Angeles’ hopes were ended early and they are sitting 11th in the Western Conference - with a 35-43 record - heading into Thursday’s game against defending champions the Golden State Warriors. This season marks only the third time in James’ 16-season career that the four-time MVP has missed the playoffs and Warriors coach Kerr believes it would have been better for the league had the Lakers and their star man made it....

Keselowski led 75 laps to pick up his third successive victory, the first play-off race of 2018. Kyle Larson placed second, while Martin Truex Jr. finished third. “To start off the playoffs with the win, that’s really strong,” Keselowski told NBCSN after the race. “We nailed the pit stops and the restarts when it counted and that put us in position. Really, really proud of the team today.” Twelve play-off drivers were involved in collisions, including Kevin Harvick and Erik Jones – two top contenders, who were both knocked out on the 147th lap....
Kessel's hat trick was the result of Team USA's best line in the Sochi Games, built of Kessel, Toronto Maple Leafs linemate James van Riemsdyk and Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks. The combination is all the better for reuniting Kessel and Pavelski, linemates in the Vancouver Games. On Saturday, the Americans defeated Russia 3-2 in a shootout, with four goals by T.J. Oshie . Like Kessel, Pavelski was hot in the final weeks of the NHL season, and on Sunday contributed to another solid U....
Background The ketogenic diet for epilepsy was developed in the 1920s by a Michigan healthcare provider named Hugh Conklin. However, once effective medications were developed, the diet was used less and less frequently. It has regained recognition and has become a standard backup plan for children whose epilepsy symptoms are difficult to control with medication. With more than 470,000 children living with seizure disorders in the United States (according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics), it’s an important addition to the arsenal of treatments for epilepsy....

I want to spend as much time as I can with them before heading off to training....
Chris Paul clearly doesn’t care about the score. During the Clippers-Thunder game, Paul hit a jumper and stared at Kevin Durant on the sideline. It’s not the most blatant form of boasting, but on the court it is something. Something that Durant wasn’t having. The Clippers were down big at the time, and the Thunder star fired back with a response of his own. “You’re down 20 right now, homie,” Durant mouthed....
The All-Star game, which has a draft for the first time in 2018 in lieu of the traditional East-vs.-West format, now pits the Warriors’ Kevin Durant against teammate and team captain Stephen Curry, one of two selectors for this year’s teams.

Granholm chartered a military jet to attend Monday’s inaugural Crimea Platform Summit in Kyiv, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The White House defended Granholm’s use of a military plane. “It is standard protocol for Cabinet Members serving as dignitaries representing POTUS to use Military Air on international travel—not just Granholm, but any Cabinet Secretary,” a spokesperson told Newsweek. However, the flight’s timing raised questions as it came amid the frantic bid to airlift thousand of people from Kabul airport ahead of the August 31 deadline to pull troops from Afghanistan after the Taliban’s takeover of the country....
