There are two main sources of microplastics—generally defined as tiny pieces of plastic measuring less than 0....

Score one for the Feds. It was another quiet gotcha moment for Boies, whose consciously unflashy courtroom style is turning the Microsoft trial into a clash between the concede-nothing culture of Redmond and a lawyer with the understated canniness of a courtroom Columbo. Boies’s exchange with Chase illustrates three of the main reasons many people expect the Justice Department to prevail: the depth of research that has gone into pulling out precisely the right e-mail (out of some 3....

But there’s reason to be. Last year, dozens of Christians were slain in Iraq and a Syriac Orthodox priest was beheaded in Mosul. Two prominent Christian Palestinians were recently killed in Gaza. A political stalemate in Lebanon and the increased dominance of Shiite Hizbullah has made Maronites fear their traditional perks, like control of the presidency, are slipping. Even in Egypt, where religion has played little role in government, Christians now worry that the increasing popularity of the Muslim Brotherhood could lead to new restrictions....

“It was a two-vehicle accident with both vehicles traveling westbound along Interstate 10,” Gregory Davis, a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection, told Newsweek. The other vehicle, an 18-wheel truck “failed to maintain its lane,” and “encroached into the passing lane, forcing the van onto the median.” “The van rolled over multiple times I believe,” said Davis.

Clevinger, the key trade deadline acquisition for San Diego this year, missed the wild card round because of a hurt elbow.

UPDATE: Clevinger offered a blunt, worrisome assessment of his elbow following Game 1....

In my case, the lump was in a very awkward position where I never would have found it in the shower; it was only palpable if I was lying on my side....

Macron made the remarks on Friday in the medieval village of Figeac as the presidential campaign drew to a close. He also compared a potential Le Pen victory to the U.K. voting to leave the European Union (EU). “Think about what British citizens were saying a few hours before Brexit or [people] in the United States before Trump’s election happened: ‘I’m not going out to vote, what’s the point?’ The next day, they woke up with a hangover,” Macron said....
