A fake Costas account made the rounds Tuesday night under the handle @Real_Bobcostas. Costas’ son initially took to social media to assure people that the account wasn’t his father’s despite it quickly amassing thousands of followers.

But bad weather has forced the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) to abandon hopes of pulling the plane to shore.

According to a study published in the journal Annals of Neurology, so-called “stem cell tourism” sees clinics target patients with unproven procedures, falsely promising to cure diseases....

Even so, Wall has his fair amount of detractors including ESPN host Colin Cowherd, who remarked in 2010 of Wall’s decision to dance following a victory: MORE: Wall moved to tears | Bryant not focused on Jordan record | Magic praises LeBron Those comments have long burned as uncalled-for criticism, and in the face of Wall’s connection with 6-year-old Miyah Telemaque-Nelson, Jones felt the need to point out the ridiculous nature of Cowherd’s prior statements once again....

Why the sudden distaste? It’s not just rising interest rates. New York financial adviser Ron Roge, who buys Treasury securities for his clients, says he won’t go near a bond fund because “when you put bonds inside a bond fund, you’re giving up the maturity date and the fixed income stream. Why else buy bonds?” The safety-in-diversification benefit that funds tout doesn’t really matter when the underlying securities are all Treasuries backed by the government, fund critics note....

She knew that shortly the others would notice, not that Vanessa had left her father’s party, but that the light in the room had suddenly faded, and though it was still late afternoon and not yet dusk, they would see that the sun, because of the looming proximity of the Great Range, was about to slip behind the mountains. The Second Tamarack Lake was deep and long and narrow, like a Norwegian fiord, scraped by glaciers out of the north- and south-running Great Range of steep, granitic mountains, and the view from the eastern shore of the Second Lake at this hour in high summer was famous....

Then the midwife, turning back to the small scrap of humanity, looked closely at him and exclaimed, ‘Dead! Stop a minute, he’s alive enough, sure!‘¹ And so he was: tiny, weak, hardly expected to survive for long, but not dead yet.² He was so feeble that his future remained doubtful. For five weeks he was kept at home, and then he was taken to be christened in church. And, although, as Hardy himself put it later, ‘he showed not the physique of his father’, he was named Thomas Hardy after his father and his grandfather....

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar tweeted Booker’s comment just minutes after he said it. “I have a lot of respect for the vice president,” Booker said. “He swore me into my office. He’s a hero.

The former WCW Champion stated that Cody Rhodes, appearing at Royal Rumble, that too under the Stardust gimmick, wouldn’t happen in a “million years....

Reading a Sebald book is like nothing else. Confronted with his strange, intoxicating brew of fact and fiction and digressions on everything from European train stations to the lives and times of certain moths, you wind up not knowing what to believe, or who. Everything–history, one’s personal mental health–is called into question. It’s even hard knowing what to call the books themselves. Each is composed with a kind of droll melancholy....
