So St. Louis’ ranking takes into account the Cards’ recent string of success but also St. Louis’ good, ol’ Midwest affordability and, yes, a nice, relatively new Busch Stadium at the intersection of a couple of highways, as well as light rail and the barge-navigable Mississippi....

Writing songs, apparently, which she spent two years doing to present to the trust that runs the estate of “Gone With the Wind” author Margaret Mitchell. They liked Martin’s stuff enough to have her contact their agents at William Morris, who concluded that her efforts were sincere but unlikely to succeed. Was Scarlett O’Hara deterred after Rhett Butler didn’t give a damn? Of course not, and neither was Martin. She spent two more years writing the show and wooing the trust, which finally relented....

As it stands the announcement trailer for STALKER 2 has more views on YouTube compared to the videos for Halo Infinite and Fable, despite not really showing anything aside from some creepy environments. While the confirmation that the trailer contained no in-game footage and was a target render was a tad disappointing, it doesn’t seem to have killed fans’ excitement for it.

Nicholas Wallace, who was scheduled to graduate this month, sent an email on January 25 containing a mock-up of a flier for a fake event featuring Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton discussing “violent insurrection.” The email was sent to a student listserv reserved for debate and political commentary.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A global sporting tribunal opened the door wider to Russian participation at the Rio Olympic Games on Thursday, ruling that an Olympic ban on two Russian rowers and a swimmer with histories of doping was unenforceable. The decision, on the eve of the opening ceremony, could invite a dozen more appeals against the ban from Russian competitors, according to the tribunal’s chief, and underlines Russian arguments that the ban lacks legal justification....

Anchor just launched a new feature that lets users pull popular music (licensed by Spotify) directly into their podcast, making it even easier for podcasters to add audio without having to worry about licensing rights. Despite the promises that come with the new feature, some experts believe that it could ultimately limit budding podcasters looking to expand their podcasts’ reach. “Spotify’s new system for adding music to podcasts, while it initially sounds great, comes with some major handcuffs,” said true crime and comedy podcaster Joel Lounds via email....

In addition, the Sox major league roster is weak in a number of areas and lacks overall depth, which could very well accelerate the promotion timetable for some of the Sox better prospects.
