Amid all of this chaos, a tweet posted by singer Pink in 2009 surfaced, where the 43-year-old labeled Ye a “piece of s***.” That was the year that West, 45, infamously interrupted Taylor Swift’s MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech, which sparked outrage at the time. “Kanye west is the biggest piece of s*** on earth. Quote me,” Pink’s tweet reads, and several people have quoted it on the social-media platform over the weekend as West continues to make headlines for his “horrifying” comments....
The security guard and detective agency, which was created by Allan Pinkerton in 1850 after emigrating to the U.S. from Scotland, gained notoriety in 1861 after its founder claimed to have foiled an attempt to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln in Baltimore. The agency, which is known for its logo of a large eye accompanied by the slogan “We Never Sleep,” gained prominence following the alleged assassination attempt, and later became involved in infiltrating unions during labor strikes....

Details are not provided in the database, only the number of violations.

Another incident occurred when crude oil was released through a boom where a safety device was improperly bypassed....
His success has angered Pirates broadcaster John Wehner, who voiced his complaints Tuesday on Pittsburgh’s 93.7 The Fan Morning Show. There’s going to be an expected amount of respectable disdain since the teams are rivals, but Wehner went a little far with his commentary. Mainly, Wehner (who used to play for the Pirates) was upset with Dietrich’s celebrations after a big play. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN...
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette also reported the decision was driven by owner Bob Nutting, who issued a statement after manager Clint Hurdle was fired Sept. 29 saying Huntington and his staff “are the right people to continue to lead our baseball operations department.” To that end, Huntington had been interviewing potential replacements for Hurdle the last few weeks, but Nutting said in a release Monday that the team will now turn its focus to filling the GM opening....
What was the alleged national-security issue? Strictly yellowcake. Researchers testified that because of a confusing interface in file-sharing services like Kazaa, a clumsy user could inadvertently expose private files to everyone on the network. In theory, this could even happen to a government worker using Kazaa for personal use on an official computer–thus exposing our deepest secrets. No one was able to cite an instance where a government secret was actually exposed by this method....

FOR SIX YEARS, 1961-66, Koufax was the most commanding pitcher in baseball–and those six years were enough for the editors of Sports Illustrated to name him their favorite athlete of the 20th century. Only four other pitchers have averaged more than a strikeout per inning; no other pitcher has led his league in ERA for five straight years. Three seasons with 25 or more wins, four no-hitters, one a perfect game, the youngest player ever inducted into the Hall of Fame … Enough?...
The bridge collapse in Pittsburgh—near Frick Park—resulted in several vehicles and a bus falling into a ravine, according to images of the scene and local media reports. News station WPXI reported that there were “no serious injuries” as a result of the collapse, citing a public safety representative. The channel’s reporting suggested that the collapse was due to a natural gas problem. “Bridge has collapsed near intersection of Forbes Ave and S Braddock Ave....
Ideally, the placenta will be sitting at the top of the uterus by the third trimester, allowing the cervix to remain open and available for labor. However, when the placenta takes up space in the bottom of the uterus, the baby may rest with their head toward the top. Risk Factors Risk factors for placenta previa include: Age: Those 35 years and older are two to three times more likely to experience placenta previa....

The flames on the undercarriage of the plane were soon extinguished. The passengers, all members of the U.S. military, managed to safely disembark from the aircraft....
Once again, the “barbarian” is at the farm gates. Last week Fischler proposed the most radical revamp to the EU’s agricultural policy in its 41-year history. His reforms would transform the EU’s notoriously expensive and protectionist Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which at 40 billion euros a year gobbles up half the European Union’s budget. As it stands, Europe pays its 7 million farmers subsidies linked to the amount they produce, a system that has led to massive surpluses....
Genetics Family history is the strongest risk factor for developing plaque psoriasis. In fact, around a third of the people living psoriasis will report having another family member with the disease. The risk of psoriasis seems all the more likely if both parents are affected. While scientists have yet to establish how the genetics work, they have identified nine points on a gene associated with psoriasis symptoms, which they have labeled PSORS1 through PSORS9....

It may not be the Easter story most grown-ups remember learning. But then, most grown-ups didn’t go to Sunday school when they were 3. Like so many things in our culture–from violin lessons to computer software–religious school is now being tailored to fit even the youngest children. And as in any good nursery school, the learning takes place largely through stories, songs and crafts. “It’s little doses of God mixed in with big helpings of fun,” says Nancy Pratt, a parent who volunteers at American Martyrs....
Goals from Federico Bernardeschi, Paulo Dybala, Gonzalo Higuain and Juan Cuadrado earned the champions all three points in Turin and kept them three behind league leaders Napoli. Juve 10/11 to beat Milan with dabblebet Stunning strikes from Bernardeschi and Dybala put Juve in control inside 22 minutes but Alberto Paloschi gave the struggling visitors a lifeline before the break, and they thought they had made it 2-2 through Marios Oikonomou, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside....

Who is Vinicius Junior? The 16-year-old Flamengo star sealed an astonishing move to Madrid, reportedly worth €45 million, on Tuesday. Vinicius will be a Madrid player from July 2018 after he has turned 18, but the Spanish champions plan for him to stay at Flamengo for a further year unless both clubs agree otherwise. The eventual prospect of linking up with Ronaldo, the favourite to win this year’s Ballon d’Or and retain the game’s most prestigious individual prize, is something Vinicius is still coming to terms with....
There was lots to learn. In my first big Wimbledon, when I got to the semis and played Jimmy [Connors], I was worried about just being in the same locker room and having him blow me off. If looks could kill, I’d have been lying on the floor. I realized there was a whole other game before you get on the court. Talking to the press was sometimes harder than playing the match....
