The band’s instrument, of course, is information. They aim to use it against Saddam Hussein, respond to his disinformation and control the message within the administration so no one–not even Vice President Dick Cheney–freelances on Iraq. That’s no easy task. The members talk every day by phone at 9:30 a.m. The key players are a handful of rising stars in their early 40s and under: For starters there’s Deputy Communications Director Jim Wilkinson, 32, a fast-talking Texan who has become an unlikely but keen student of Islam....

Westworld Season 4 has finally come to an end in a chaotic finale that saw the deaths of many major characters, including Clementine. Titled Que Sera, Sera, the eighth episode of Season 4 pretty much ties everything up, but with Dolores mentioning ‘‘one last game,’’ there’s still scope for another installment. The show, however, is yet to be officially renewed for a fifth season. With a number of pivotal events unfolding in the episode, the series answered quite a lot of burning questions whilst also leaving some space to explore the story further....

Woods has won 18 career WGC tournaments, 13 more than Dustin Johnson, who has the second-most victories. Woods’ last win at the WGC-Mexico Championship was in 2013, and he won every year from 2005-07. However, Woods has yet to win since the tournament moved to Club de Golf Chapultepec in Naucalpan, Mexico in 2017.

Production company, Telepictures Television were forced to respond to the rumors, which originated in The Sun, amid falling ratings and negative public opinion of the 62-year-old. Representatives for the host’s production company told The New York Post: “Telepictures can confirm it’s untrue.” The Sun alleges the show is set to be axed due to ratings falling 14 percent to a new season 17 low rating of 1.2, per to TVNewsCheck....

Wilshere will be assessed ahead of Arsenal’s weekend trip to Bournemouth after the midfielder sustained the knock in the Carabao Cup semi-final at Stamford Bridge. Wenger’s side held out for a 0-0 draw in Wednesday’s first leg but lacked the early control Wilshere gave to their performance when he limped off before the hour. This setback does not appear to be as serious for the 26-year-old but Wenger told reporters he had suffered a sprain....

Wenger’s side faced Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the second match in England to have access to the VAR technology. It was in effect on Monday for the first time in an English club match, when Brighton beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup third round, but it wasn’t called on then. On Wednesday, referee Martin Atkinson consulted with video ref Neil Swarbrick, who sat in the Premier League’s control room in west London, on two penalty appeals – one for each team – but no decisions were overturned....

The biggest name associated with these accusations is Patton Oswalt, who once claimed that Snipes attempted to strangle director David Goyer, and refused to communicate to the production staff in any way other than using post-it notes. To put it mildly, Snipes was not impressed by these claims. He headed off the strangling claim quickly: “Let me tell you one thing. If I had tried to strangle David Goyer, you probably wouldn’t be talking to me now....

Only one point separated the two sides before Saturday’s clash at the Hawthorns, but Kieran Dowell’s 14th-minute goal ensured that gap has now widened to four. Dowell headed home from Martin Cranie’s cross to give the Blades an early lead before Marvin Johnson missed a chance to double their advantage. West Brom laid siege on the United goal for much of the second half but they were unable to find a way through, with Jay Rodriguez seeing a late effort disallowed for deliberate handball....

A wrongly given penalty was enough for Jay Rodriguez and West Brom to gain a valuable point in the final game of the year. Once the war of words between Arsène Wenger and the FA are said & done, Arsenal are 5th in the league while West Brom stay joint-bottom. Amidst all that controversy, there were some stand-out performers in West Brom’s crucial 1-1 draw with Arsenal. Here’s how the players rated....

Several West Brom supporters are alleged to have ignored club warnings and illegally sold their home-end tickets to visiting Chelsea fans with clashes erupting after Michy Batsuhayi scored the title-clinching goal in the 82nd minute. “We made it plain with our warnings before the game that any of our supporters who could be traced selling on tickets to visiting supporters faced sanctions from the club,” chief executive Martin Goodman said in a statement on Sunday....

If there is one EPL team that can be described as the big bad boys of the Premier League this season, then it’s certainly West Ham. Sam Allardyce has brought together a strong group of players not the least of whom would be their main signing of the season – Andy Carroll. Manchester United had to bear the brunt of West Ham’s ‘rough-house’ tactics as they could only manage a close 2-2 draw at West Ham’s Boleyn Ground....

Noble, who has missed only six of the club’s 37 fixtures this season, sustained a leg injury against Chelsea that was aggravated during the following game against Bournemouth. The injury kept him out of this month’s 3-2 loss to Leicester City. “Noble has been out but he’s been training and he’s back to be in the squad for the Hull City game,” Bilic told reporters. Antonio, the club’s top scorer with nine goals, has been ruled out of the Hull game after suffering a hamstring injury against Leicester while fellow striker Diafra Sakho has returned to training after four months out with a back injury....

The Hammers boss spent 11 years at Everton, but in all his time managing he has never been able to record a victory at Anfield. Liverpool are currently third in the Premier League, while the Irons are 12th and still in danger of dropping into the relegation zone, as they sit just four points clear of 18th-placed Southampton. WEST HAM INJURIES The Irons have a number of injury problems to deal with, with key defender Winston Reid still struggling with a throat infection....

West Ham United vs Everton Preview West Ham United host Everton at the London Stadium as they look to consolidate their position in the league standings under David Moyes. On the other hand, the Toffees have steadied the ship since Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment but even the Hammers have shown resurgence under David Moyes, as he welcomes a team that he worked with so closely for so many years, and that really put him on the world football map....

The Windies are now set to host the English Lions for the third ODI at National Cricket Stadium, St George’s, Grenada. The upcoming contest is nicely poised for both the teams as they would be eyeing to take the lead in the 5-match ODI series. The home side have been on a roll since the beginning of this tour. Having won the Test series 2-1, the Windies would be hoping to seal the ODI series as well in the upcoming matches....

Only people aged 65 and older, younger people who work at high-risk jobs and those who have underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable to the virus are recommended to get booster shots in federal guidelines, the AP reported. Gov. Jim Justice has been a strong supporter of getting booster shots into all arms, regardless of age and risk. Though the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources’ website contains federal guidelines for the booster doses, Justice said at a news conference Monday that “I absolutely believe that if you’re 18 years of age, you can get your booster shot....

During a COVID media briefing Friday, Justice said that while he doesn’t believe in enforcing mask mandates in schools, local school districts should make those decisions, according to West Virginia MetroNews. “I go back to if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” Justice said during a COVID-19 briefing, the Associated Press reported. “Or don’t try to fix it.” However, he says he will wait for the outcome before making a decision, according to AP....

The Jayhawks did the damage from beyond the arc, shooting an incredible 15-of-27 (55.6%). Malik Newman was the chief destroyer with 20 points, including 6-of-8 from deep. The scoring was spread out among the Kansas starters as Devonte’ Graham (18 points) and Svi Mykhailiuk (16 points) put WVU to the sword. Kansas was outrebounded 37-27, but the outstanding shooting was more than enough to overcome the deficit on the boards....

Rove assessed the first year of the Bush administration on Tuesday at the American Enterprise Institute, the conservative think tank. He confessed to one surprisingly candid shortcoming of Team Bush. “We failed to marshal support among the base as well as we should have,” he told the audience during the 75-minute forum. “The big discrepancy is among self-identified, white, evangelical Protestants, Pentecostals and fundamentalists,” Rove explained. Instead of the 19 million he expected to turn out for Bush, just 15 million of these voters cast their ballot for Bush....
