The conference, which took place on November 1-2 was arranged by Neighborly Faith, an organization that bills itself as “a nationwide movement bringing Christians and Muslims together.” The conference resulted from a partnership between Neighborly Faith and various groups evangelical college, according to a press release from the organization. If past polling results are any indicator, the folks at Neighborly Faith are right to think that there is room for improvement in evangelical-Muslim relations, especially on the part of the Christians....

Surveying the crowded GOP field, many evangelicals are feeling unloved, and unsettled. Conservative Christians were crucial in sending George W. Bush to the White House—and were even more important to his narrow re-election in 2004—but many evangelical leaders complain that he hasn’t shown much thanks, and their devotion to the born-again president is waning. They are disappointed that he has abandoned his election-year promise to push for an anti-gay-marriage amendment, even as Dick Cheney is posing for pictures with the newborn son of his lesbian daughter and her partner....

Although the game may be most notorious for its massive spaceship battles, there are many reasons for EVE Online’s popularity and longevity.

Don’t be fooled, though. He was there. In fact, Kaepernick is everywhere throughout the league — except on a football team. His specter still looms just as large as it did when Kaepernick first took a knee during the national anthem to protest racial inequality and police brutality because, as he told NFL Network in August 2016, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color....

You have to wonder after an unexpected change left a lot of the media in the lurch on deadline and gave Cutler a pass following a dismal 31-15 loss to the Saints. MORE: Must-see photos from Week 15 | Game highlights | Fake punt fail The title of the video above says differently, but the media wouldn’t ignore Cutler after a night like this. We don’t know what the Bears’ PR folks were thinking, but the change — Cutler spoke before coach Marc Trestman, who usually goes first — which led to a three-question “interview” reinforced the perception that Chicago’s NFL franchise is dysfunctional....

On “First Take” on Thursday, Stephen A. Smith took issue with the way the Celtics handled Udoka’s, saying either Udoka either should have been fired or not missed any games. “I’m appalled by this decision,” he began. “If you’re not gonna fire him, he shouldn’t be suspended. You can dock him pay. You can fine him. You can keep the stuff in-house. I’m appalled this is publicized … I know of plenty of situations spanning the entire world of professional sports … where folks are messing around with each other....

The American Opportunity Accounts Act was reintroduced by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) on Thursday. It would establish savings accounts for each baby born, with an initial federal deposit of $1,000. Booker first proposed the program in 2018.

El evento tendrá lugar el próximo miércoles 5 de agosto en una retransmisión virtual en directo. Para ser sinceros, no esperábamos que la compañía hiciera público prácticamente todo lo que va anunciar días antes de su lanzamiento. Bueno, es cierto que el tráiler de 30 segundos de a continuación solo muestra los productos en fila en unos tonos oscuros que prácticamente revelan nada. Hemos hecho unos pequeños cambios en los ajustes de la imagen y podemos hacernos una mejor idea de qué son....

Or has he mistaken himself for God? After investigating the clinic for more than a year, UC Irvine officials shut it down this month and fried a lawsuit accusing Asch and two partners–Dr. Jose Balmaceda and Dr. Sergio Stone –of stunning ethics lapses. According to the university’s legal complaint, the doctors prescribed an unapproved fertility drug, performed research on patients without their consent and, in effect, stole eggs or embryos from some of their patients to create pregnancies in others....

“It’s an abuse of power,” Richard Painter, the chief ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, told Newsweek. “It is really awful that he just doesn’t get it that this is not acceptable.” The president shared a Trump Organization promotion of the Florida golf resort on his Twitter account on Wednesday. Trump added the caption: “I will be there in two weeks, The Southern White House!” Trump has long been criticized for potentially profiting from events and guests at his chain of resorts and hotels....

The commission aims to make USB-C the sole type of connection used for the charging cables found with smartphones, video game consoles, etc. The explanation is that it will be more convenient for consumers and reduce the amount of e-waste created by redundant accessories.

Switzerland got off to a winning start to their Euro 2016 campaign as defender Fabian Schar’s early header guided them to a 1-0 victory over 10-man Albania at Lens. Schar capitalised on poor goalkeeping by Etrit Berisha to nod in from Xherdan Shaqiri’s corner. Following forward Armando Sadiku’s unbelievable miss from 5 yards out, the game looked to be all but over after Albanian captain Lorik Sana received his marching orders for a second bookable offence....

Qualification to the next round is highly likely for Northern Ireland, a defeat against Joachim Loew’s men notwithstanding. Germany is yet to concede at the Euro 2016 and it would require a performance of extraordinary quality of football to break the deadlock. Northern Ireland will have to come out all guns blazing and carry their form from their exhilarating 2-0 win against Ukraine. A defeat for Ireland would set them up for a clash with the runners-up from group A in the next round....

Austria, on the other hand, shockingly lost to their neighbouring rivals Hungary (0-2) and have set themselves an uphill task of beating Portugal and Iceland to progress to the last-16 stage. Austria looked in command when David Alaba almost scored the quickest ever goal at the Euros but ended up hitting the post. After Aleksandar Dragovic was sent off for committing two offences, Zoltan Stieber sealed Hungary’s win in the 87th minute leaving Austria helpless with 10 men....
