Rory McIlroy has staked his claim among the golf elite, winning the 2014 PGA Championship – the fourth major title of his career and second of the season.

McNulty, the deputy attorney general, cited the “financial realities of college-age children” as the reason for his resignation. But a close associate, who asked not to be identified talking about private conversations, said that McNulty’s decision to leave now was prompted in part by his disenchantment with both Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and top White House officials over their handling of the U.S. attorney controversy. In particular, McNulty was stunned last March to discover that Gonzales’s former top aide, Kyle Sampson, and White House officials—including deputy counsel Bill Kelley in a crucial March 7 strategy session—had failed to inform him and one of his deputies about the early White House role in the decision to remove the prosecutors, the associate said....

The crux of the problem is three ancient pillars in the Mina Valley, which pilgrims are required to stone as a symbol of the Devil. Serwill watches on his video monitor as thousands of pilgrims surround the site, a scene he compares to the spin cycle of a washing machine, “pushing and fighting their way to the pillars,” he says. Generally, three to four people can fit into one square meter; in Mecca, 10 fit in that space....

By fasting, doctors at Buchinger mean a minimalist diet of 300 calories per day–veggie broths and juices–for two weeks to several months, accompanied by blood tests, purges and other treatments. Director Françoise Wilhelmi di Toledo says many hard-to-treat conditions, from arthritis to allergies and various skin disorders, benefit from the metabolic switch that takes place when the body starts living off its own reserves. Of the 2,000 guests who come to fast each year (half from southern Europe, America and the Middle East), about one third arrive with serious ailments–the rest come to lose weight or cut stress....

Medicare is becoming proactive by designing programs that address these very issues. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) believes doing so will reduce healthcare costs for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries alike. More importantly, it will help to promote public health programs that keep people healthier longer.

Sometimes we just need to take a moment to enjoy something that makes us smile—and this viral video of a meerkat riding a tortoise is just the tonic. The hilarious video, which was posted to Twitter shows the small mammal standing aloft a large moving tortoise, surveying the sandy enclosure.

Players male and female alike, from adults to young children, dribble between cones, curl in long-range free-kicks and even perform tricks with tennis balls. Where Dembele fits into Pep’s revolution Soccer Assassins is not just for show, though; it is Gildea’s popular coaching school and the Facebook and Instagram pages are his means of spreading his gospel and attracting new clients, rather than an end in themselves. That gospel has an ever-increasing group of followers - both real-life and online - seeking an education they do not receive anywhere else....
