Market analyst Steven Leuthold, of the Leuthold Group in Minneapolis, estimates that fund managers sold about $36 billion worth of stocks in July just to meet redemptions. And where is the flight money going? Record numbers of investors are discovering bonds. I’ve always been a fan of holding some investment money in bonds....

Yet even before that, he had already directed Western sci-fi productions like Snowpiercer and Okja. This time around the famed director will look to adapt the 2022 sci-fi novel Mickey7, written by Edward Ashton, into his biggest English language movie yet.

“How difficult it sometimes is to know where the black begins and the white ends.” -Booker T. Washington, “Up From Slavery” (1901) Soon after declaring his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, Senator Barack Obama was asked on the television program “60 Minutes” when he had “decided” that he was black. One of the reasons the interviewer posed this question is that Obama’s mother was a white American and his father a black Kenyan....
Booker went off against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, posting 50 points for the second successive game in Phoenix’s 124-121 loss. The 22-year-old guard made history after scoring 59 in the Suns’ 125-92 defeat against the Utah Jazz on Monday. Booker also set a personal and franchise record in the process midweek. However, Phoenix have gone 0-3 in each of Booker’s career 50-point games, making him the first player in NBA history to lose the first three games in which he scored 50 points....

Just as history books and historical fiction loom large on adult best-seller lists, children’s publishing is also getting a blast from the past. Nobody specifically tracks sales of kids’ history books, but publishers and booksellers agree it’s a hot niche, and not the old sanitized version of events. Many of the new books aimed at kids 4 and older take a surprisingly sophisticated look at our world and our heroes, warts and all....
So, for many, it came as a huge shock when Blizzard announced a new survival game for PC and consoles a few days ago. Nothing much was said about the title, just its genre, that Blizzard was hiring, and some highly conceptual art alongside it. However, according to one insider, this isn’t the extent of Blizzard’s games in development. RELATED: Ex-Blizzard Devs Are Making An Unreal Engine 5 RTS Game...

While the games’ director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, is understandably credited for much of Bloodborne’s massive critical success, the games’ producer, Masaaki Yamagiwa, certainly deserves some of that recognition as well. Originally starting in the industry as a planner on the Game Boy Advance Sonic Advance series, Yamagiwa’s career eventually took him to From Software, where he worked as the Producer on Bloodborne and the VR title Deracine. Now, Yamagiwa has moved studios once again, this time to another action-focused, Japan-based developer: Team Ninja....
The 27-year-old was forced off in the 24th minute after going down with the injury, with Denis Cheryshev taking his place. Russia were 1-0 up at the time of Dzagoev’s injury after Yuri Gazinsky headed the hosts in front after 12 minutes. And Dzagoev’s replacement, Cheryshev, was able to make his presence felt as he scored twice to help Russia down Saudi Arabia 5-0. Villarreal man Cheryshev blasted home Russia’s second on the 43rd-minute mark before scoring a beautiful goal with the outside of his left foot to make it 4-0 in the second half....
We’re “retiring” (read firing) people at the age of 55, and look at the consequences. Married couples having lunch–with each other. Mall-walking gridlock. White-collar college graduates who liked Ike, hugging each other in support groups in church basements-the only embraces these days safe from sexual-harassment charges. And then there are frivolous matters like widening permanent unemployment, decreasing living standards and an increasing sense of worthlessness. Now they want us to endure 85 years of retirement?...
But “peace,” in whatever language, has become an almost mythical word in the Middle East today. It seems to hark back to a time as distant as King Solomon’s or Saladin’s reign–depending on your point of view–rather than a mere 20 months ago, at Camp David, when it seemed so close. Not long ago U.S. officials were calling the Oslo peace process that culminated in Camp David “irreversible.” Now Oslo is a fast-fading memory, and all that looks irreversible is the savage cycle of Old Testament justice, death for death, day in and day out....
John Davidson, the club’s director of hockey operations, and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen laid out what they say have been their proposals to Johansen’s agent, Kurt Overhardt. “Contracts have been extended on our behalf that are close to $50 million. I think that our group has been very fair. In fact, more than fair. And it’s nowhere near what they want,” Davidson told The Associated Press. “We’re trying to do the right thing for our organization....

The Blues on Sunday announced they have signed the center to a four-year contract extension worth $11 million that carries an average annual value of $2.75 million. Sundqvist’s contract for last season paid him $700,000, and he avoided arbitration by agreeing to a new deal.

The field of golfers vying for the FedEx Cup championship was drastically cut after The Northern Trust on Sunday: from 125 to 70. That number, which no longer includes such distinguished talents as Brooks Koepka, Justin Rose or Jordan Spieth, will be further reduced in the second leg of the playoffs: the 2020 BMW Championship, which tees off this week at the Olympia Fields Country Club (Ill.) Dustin Johnson used a spectacular outing at The Northern Trust — a 30-under-par performance — to vault himself from the No....
