Abbott was sued Wednesday by Republican Party of Texas and its chairman Allen West, Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, multiple Texas legislators and several other prominent Republicans in the state for deciding to allow voters to begin casting ballots on October 13 instead of October 19, the date dictated by Texas Election Code. “Governor Abbott seems to have forgotten that the Texas Constitution is not a document that he consults at his convenience,” Jared Woodfill, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in a statement to The Texas Tribune....

Muniz has been fighting for his life while suffering from coronavirus at the Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, and was due to get married last week.

Grace Leimann, Muniz’s fiancee, said the past few weeks have been hugely stressful, she didn’t know if her husband-to-be would pull through, let alone whether they would get married this month....

Immigration Police chief Maj. Gen. Surachate Hakparn said Hakeem al-Araibi, who was detained upon entry at Bangkok’s airport on Nov. 27, is being held legally following a request from Bahrain’s government. He had traveled to Thailand on a holiday with his wife. “The Australian consul got to visit him already,” Surachate said. “We have provided nice halal meals for him three times a day.

Yet every decade or so, these forgettable bores do the world a service, and so it was last Friday, when they voted to acquit William Jefferson Clinton, president of the United States, of the two charges that had been preferred against him in December by the House of Representatives. Across the nation, you could almost hear a sigh of relief that a year’s tiresome embarrassment had been brought to an end....

The game is still competitive, but last week astronomers took a big step toward shaking hands. Researchers led by Wendy Freedman of the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, Calif., announced that they had pointed the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope at 770 stars in 18 galaxies out to 65 million light years, and deduced a Hubble constant of 70. Now for those units: “70” means that, for every 3.26 million light years away from Earth, galaxies are speeding away at an extra 70 kilometers (42 miles) per second....

The wearable comes with all sorts of features you’d expect to see from a far more expensive device, but at a fraction of the cost. What Does the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Offer? There are a few big changes the Mi Band 6 brings to the table. The screen is quite a bit larger, coming in at 1.56-inches.

In fact, I wouldn’t mind seeing a sentence like this appear in my favorite art magazine: “After the installation of ‘North, East, South, West,’ his crowd-pleasing series of steel-clad giant geometric holes in the floor at the newly opened DIA:Beacon museum an hour upriver from Manhattan, sculptor and earthworker Michael Heizer jumped to No. 13 in the ATPA (Association of Touring Professional Artists) rankings.” I’d order another beer at Fanelli’s in SoHo and growl to the guy on the stool next to me, “Yeah, well Bruce Nauman will kill ’em next summer on the European circuit....

However, that’s part of the point when it comes to a beta: to give players early hands-on time with a game and to offer feedback to the developer. Be it to praise one aspect of it, or to criticize another and see that it’s adjusted. Demos that show one specific section of a game are few and far between these days, with alphas and betas taking their places, and being more valuable than ever....

There are many themes in The Lord Of The Rings, but perhaps the biggest one is good vs. evil. Everyone has felt some form of good vs. bad in their lives, so this is a very accessible theme that’s easily relatable. Although the details of Tolkien’s world can be very in-depth and a little overbearing at times, when it is stripped down, this is a very simple story. And as movie history has shown, simple stories are the ones that speak to the biggest audiences because of their inclusivity....

In a region that has taken numerous steps toward democracy in recent years, the autogolpe in Peru set off political shock waves. It follows last year’s military coup in Haiti and a nearly successful power grab by Venezuela’s soldiers in February. No other Latin country can quite match Peru’s combustible mix of drugs, terrorism and poverty. But Venezuela is still unsettled. Bolivia, next door to Peru, is beset by coup rumors and strikes....

The question of who lost China is, of course, specious. China was never America’s to lose. And by the end, Chiang Kaishek’s government didn’t have enough popular backing to make it worth U.S. support. If Boris Yeltsin is ousted by an expansionist military regime–an alarming but not imminent prospect–the question of who lost Russia will be hollow, too. No amount of Western money can prop him up if he isn’t strong enough to survive on his own....
