The State of Israel continues to enforce Jordanian law [in the West Bank, or Judea and Samaria] -- despite its clearly racist and backward underpinnings. No matter what side of the political divide you view it from, a legislative and legal time-warp has trapped the residents of these territories – Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians – in amber for more than five decades.

With her hair pulled into a signature ponytail, her animals safely penned, confident that she’d done all the prep work she could, Anna Reed had high hopes for how things would play out last March. The Tomball High School student, a freshman at the time, was in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s poultry area that afternoon being tested on her ability to judge eggs, carcasses, and meat, when a stir rippled through the crowd. While nearby screens advised people to remain calm and ev...

The A’s are returning their entire starting rotation, but not every club in the American League West has that same consistency. The Angels and Mariners have a six-man rotation plan in place, but the rest of the AL West still has some puzzle pieces to figure out before Opening Day.
