The deal makes all four global sports of the Red Bull World Series-Air Race, Crashed Ice, X-Fighters Freestyle Motocross and Cliff Diving-available on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2. It provides Fox Sports with 180 hours of live and high-def television, starting in 2014 and going through 2016, and is the first time all four sports will be available to the US.
"There's nothing out there that looks like or has the production value of a Red Bull Media House presentation," said Michael Bloom, senior VP of Fox Sports original programming. "They continue to break new ground in how sports are covered - we love that at FOX Sports; we share that as a common goal."
Each series is produced and delivered by Red Bull Media House, which started two years ago. In the past, several of the events have aired on NBC and NBC Sports Network.
Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 recently launched in August. Both are 24-hour sports networks, and have already acquired rights to entities including NASCAR Nationwide Series and USA Rugby.
The deal was handled by Bloom and Melissa Forman for Fox Sports, and by Greg Jacobs and Ben Mauceri for Red Bull Media House.
Turkish Airlines has reversed a ban on flight attendants wearing brightly-colored lipstick following accusations it was trying to Islamize the company under government influence.
Temel Kotil, the airline’s chief executive officer, announced the move in the Turkish media accusing overzealous lower-level airline executives of having imposed the ban.
“Staff can use the color [of lipstick] they want. This measure was not approved by the hierarchy,” Kotil said, according to Hurriyet and Milliyet newspapers.
To protest the measure, numerous women had posted pictures of themselves wearing bright red lipstick on social media websites.
In recent months the booming airline, which is 49 percent state-owned, has also stopped serving alcohol on internal flights.
The liberal media had accused the airline of seeking to Islamize the company under the influence of the conservative government.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyin Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party, in power for over a decade, is often accused of creeping efforts to pressure the country to be more conservative and religious.
Turkey is a fiercely secular state, despite being a Muslim-majority country. Under Erdogan’s rule, headscarves – banned in public institutions – have become more visible in public places and alcohol bans are more widespread.

Danny Trevathan was too everything to play in the NFL.
Too short, standing 6-foot-1. Too slow. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.82 seconds at the NFL combine, making his eye-opening career at Kentucky useless when the draft arrived. Too little. His 237-pound frame is not suited for the rigors of the wood chipper that is the 16-game schedule.
Post your comments on the Denver Post article, Danny Trevathan, once too small, a big deal on Denver Broncos defense (click that link to go back and read the article).
Great draft pick, made possible by trading Tebow to the Jets for two extra picks, great move and a big "THANK YOU" to the Jets for helping out.
~ Trevathan's 6'1" #237 Frame is fine as a (OLB/Nickel LB).
which is more important than overall 40 times for a (LB).
because the sideline boundary eliminates 180 degrees of where a player can evade.

1 (MIK) and 1 more (OLB/Nickel LB).
~ Who plays the other (LB) in Nickel?
~ Who backs up Trevathan in case of injury?
and I believe #68 ATL, #70 JAX :is looking hard.
I've been following him as a player here in Denver. These are the players that help lead teams to championships. One of the group that become the best they can be and have 2-3 good years in them. He appears to be peaking at the right time. With Nate Irving, do the Broncos need to draft at LB ?

If Irving could/would actually take on blocks instead of running around them...maybe, but since thats his m.o., yeah, they probably need to draft an MLB. Competition never hurt anybody.

The situation with Nate Irving, is that last season, he was competing for MLB but had to play and start at Strong Side Linebacker because of Von Miller's suspension. He will be facing the same problem this season because Miller is recovering from a torn ACL and may not be ready for the start of the season. Irving was a MLB in college. He's got a lot of talent. but when he can't fully focus on one position, it will be hard for him to solidify himself as our starting MLB.
There’s more to J. R. R. Tolkien than wizards and hobbits. The author of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” was also an Oxford University professor specializing in languages like Old Norse and Old English.
“Beowulf” was an early love, and a kind of Rosetta Stone to his creative work. His study of the poem, which he called “this greatest of the surviving works of ancient English poetic art,” informed his thinking about myth and language.
But he did it anyway. Tolkien completed a prose translation in 1926, while declaring it was “hardly to my liking.” Given his reputation as a perfectionist and his ideas about “Beowulf” and translation, his dissatisfaction is not surprising. Tolkien, then 34, filed his “Beowulf” away, and barely revisited it for the rest of his career.
Now, 88 years after its making, this abandoned translation is being published on Thursday as “Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary.” From its first word — “Lo!” — to the death of the dragon and Beowulf and the lighting of the funeral pyre, described as “a roaring flame ringed with weeping,” Tolkien’s translation of the poem comprises some 90 pages of the book. Selections from his notes about “Beowulf,” and a “Beowulf”-inspired story and poem, take up 320 pages more.
Not all Tolkien scholars know “Beowulf,” but all “Beowulf” scholars know of Tolkien, whose influential 1936 paper “Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics” has been credited with restoring the poem’s value as a work of art. Tolkien was himself a poet and sometimes wrote imitations of the Anglo-Saxon meter in which “Beowulf” was composed.
For this edition of “Beowulf,” Christopher Tolkien combined and edited three manuscripts of his father’s translation. Selections from Tolkien’s 1930s classroom lectures on “Beowulf” become the poem’s commentary. Notes by Christopher show the discrepancies between the versions. He recalls in the notes that his father sang “The Lay of Beowulf,” the poem included in the new book, to him when he was young.
But, Ms. Flieger said, whether Tolkien’s rendering will prove a significant work of translation “in the world of ‘Beowulf’ scholarship” remains to be seen.
Rather than considering Tolkien’s interpretation a work of art to take its place aside other respected translations — like the 1966 E. Talbot Donaldson version that was replaced by the Heaney in the “Norton Anthology of English Literature” — many scholars will mine it for Tolkien’s comments on “Beowulf” and glimpses into his decision-making as he waded into gray areas of translation.
Still, some say that Tolkien would have protested his translation being published at all. “If Tolkien knew that was going to happen, he would have invented the shredder,” said the “Beowulf” authority Kevin Kiernan, an emeritus professor of English at the University of Kentucky. Most scholars of Anglo-Saxon try their hand at “Beowulf” translations to better understand the poem, he said, but that does not mean theirs, or Tolkien’s, deserves a wider audience.
“Publishing the translation is a disservice to him, to his memory and his achievement as an artist,” Mr. Kiernan added.
By publishing this “Beowulf,” his heirs and publisher may be seeking to further secure his literary and scholarly reputation. Or they may simply be accommodating what Ms. Flieger referred to as an audience “eager to read” any and all fragments from their beloved author. Or possibly both. As for Tolkien, displeased with his “Beowulf,” he would have surely wanted more time to edit, more time to revise. But he had other things to do.
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski discusses former FBI Director James Comey’s interview on ABC.
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on Monday said some of the issues former FBI Director James Comey raised were a series of fiction.
Comey’s comments were made on a promotional book tour that kicked off with an interview with ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos.
Lewandowski said he expects Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to face prosecution for lying under oath.
By admitting he allowed public opinion polls to determine whether or not to open an investigation into Hillary Clinton, Comey did not speak truth to power, Lewandowski said.
“This is a man with no integrity. A man who decided that he will take the law into his own hands and a man who needs to be held accounted for,” he said.
*A homeless man was charged with burglary after taking money, jewelry and other items from his mother's home, according to an Aliquippa police report.
Michael Adolph Hunter, 21, was also charged with theft, receiving stolen property and criminal trespassing after the incident, which occurred between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Feb. 16, according to police.

For the first time ever, a comprehensive genetic analysis of the H7N9 bird flu virus has been carried out by scientists in China. The findings encompass the origin and evolutionary history of the virus.
The first case of the novel avian influenza A H7N9 virus was identified on March 30, 2013. By April 18 the virus had spread and was detected in six different provinces and cities in China (Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Beijing, and Henan).
According to a recent study published in the The Lancet, researchers have confirmed that the A H7N9 bird flu virus, which began in February 2013, was transmitted from chickens at a wet poultry market to humans.
A H7N9 has already infected 87 people across China, of whom 17 have died.
The researchers set out to identify potential origins of the virus as well as "possible routes of reassortment events" by correlating the genomic sequences from avian influenza viruses with ecological information.
The team used the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) database to gather as much information as possible about the H7N9 virus genome sequences.
They conducted phylogenetic and coalescent analyses on 100 extracted sequences, and identified three different potential points of origin of the virus, of American, Oceanian, and Eurasian lineages.
The authors wrote that the A H7N9 was genetically close to sequences found among isolated ducks in the Zhejiang Province.
They wrote: "The H7 phylogenetic tree also showed that varied H7 viruses were circulating in wild ducks along the east Asian flyway, which covers eastern China, South Korea, and Japan."
The diversity among the isolates suggests that the H7N9 virus might have evolved into two different lineages.
In conclusion, they believe that the influenza A H7N9 virus might have originated from duck avian influenza viruses as well as chicken avian influenza viruses.
"The HA and NA genes might originate from duck avian influenza viruses, which might have obtained the viral genes from migratory birds a year previously, whereas the internal genes might come from chicken avian influenza viruses.
We believe that the estimated times to most recent common ancestor for the eight genomic fragments and the frequent poultry transportation in China account for the increased number of confirmed sporadic cases of human infection. In particular, this novel H7N9 virus has diversified into different lineages since its emergence several months ago."
It is imperative that extensive global surveillance is carried out to ensure that domestic-poultry-to-person transmission is carefully watched.
Currently a company called Replikins Ltd, from Boston, USA, is working on two completely synthetic vaccine candidates, one of which targets H7N9 alone.

Kansas quarterback Miles Kendrick (8) throws behind his offensive line during the third quarter on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018 at Memorial Stadium.
In the final season before head coach Les Miles took over the Kansas football program, 27 different players on the 2018 roster finished the season eligible to use the year as a redshirt season.
According to KU, as the Jayhawks head into 2019, every one of those 27 ended up taking a redshirt. More than half of them (14) were freshmen.
Any member of the team who played in four or fewer games and hadn’t redshirted in a previous season was eligible to do so.
Now Miles and his staff will have an extra year to work with a large group of Jayhawks who either weren’t ready to contribute this past season, or were held out of competition in the latter stages of the schedule in order to preserve the possibility of an extra year of eligibility.
