Anatomy The seminal vesicles look like two tightly coiled tubular sacs on either side of the back of the bladder base, or fundus. They are about 2 cm–4 cm (centimeters) long and 1 cm–2 cm in diameter. They usually extend back and out from the base of the prostate gland, a bit like rabbit ears. Structure At their lower end, each seminal vesicle forms a duct, which joins the ductus deferens (which carries sperm cells from the testes)....
Durbin’s remarks came one day after the Senate passed the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill largely along party lines, with all 48 Democrats and two independents who caucus with them supporting and 49 Republicans opposing the bill. Progressives renewed their push to end the filibuster after the Senate parliamentarian ruled that the $15 minimum wage measure was out of the scope of the budget process called reconciliation, which requires only a simple majority....
The legislation, which was passed by voice vote with no objections, awaits President Joe Biden’s signature. Four medals will be distributed and displayed at the Capitol Police headquarters, the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Capitol and Smithsonian Institution. Senate Rules Committee Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, told the Associated Press the medals are “a recognition that will be on display for people to understand and remember what these officers did....
If Santorum and Mack spoke improperly, that may prove that truthfulness is not a sufficient justification for all utterances. Considerations of place and manner also matter. But Congress has seen worse incivilities, as when in 1850 a senator drew a pistol on another senator, or when in 1856 a congressman splintered his cane over the skull of another congressman, or when in 1858 a senator called a colleague a “calumniator, liar and coward,” or when in 1868 a senator drew a pistol and threatened to shoot the sergeant at arms, or when in 1902 two South Carolina senators, both Democrats, traded punches on the Senate floor....
White’s 11th goal at 1:34 of overtime lifted Ottawa to a 2-1 victory over the reeling Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. While the Senators got off to a good start on their three-game road trip, the Ducks have lost a franchise-record nine straight — surpassing an eight-game skid in October 1996. “It felt great to get that push at the end and finally come up with a win,” said White, who scored his second game-winning goal of the season....
Karnataka faced off against a strong Uttarakhand side, led by Pardeep Narwal for the first quarterfinal. Just a few minutes into the game, Prashant Rai’s immaculate raiding and understanding of the game put Karnataka into the driver’s seat with an early all-out. A cat and mouse game ensued but a super raid from skipper Sukesh Hegde witnessed Karnataka inflict another all-out on Uttarakhand while Prashant Rai motored his way to a Super-10 just a few raids later....
On the one hand, Mercedes AMG executive director Toto Wolff remains confident that the sport will stay competitive, as closest rival Ferrari adapts to the ‘advent’ of V6-dictated contests. However, in stark contrast to this optimistic stance, Red Bull (not for the first time) went as far as to threaten a withdrawal from F1 in light of the continued disparity. Technically, the Sepang circuit provides a sterner test than Melbourne, with as much demand for precision and composure as there is for brute speed....

Diagnosis Related to Septoplasty Septoplasty is an outpatient surgery that is usually performed when you have been diagnosed with a deviated septum. A crooked, or deviated, septum is fairly common. About 80% of people have a septum that is at least slightly off-center—and we don’t even notice it. In some cases, though, the septum is so crooked or damaged that it can block one side of your nose, reduce airflow, and cause difficulty breathing....
If viewers had been able to examine the crowd more closely, they would have noticed something even scarier–the extreme youth of the most violent protesters. When I fell in behind a band of a couple thousand people headed for the American embassy, I was shocked to see that many were kids who looked as young as nine or ten. That would have put them in diapers in 1999 when Serbia went to war with NATO over the breakaway province of Kosovo, whose declaration of independence on Feb....
Former World No. 12 Troicki made the headlines on Sunday when he teamed up with World No. 2 Novak Djokovic to lead Serbia to a triumph in the inaugural ATP Cup final. By winning the ATP Cup final, the 33-year-old Troicki became the first player in history to win all three major team competitions (Davis Cup in 2010 and World Team Cup in 2009 and 2012). Former World No. 33 Haase is a familiar name at the tournament after winning the doubles title in the first edition of the competition alongside countryman Matwe Middelkoop....
Former Wimbledon champion Serena Williams has hit back at suggestions that she and sister Venus could be ready to retire from tennis. After over a decade as the sport’s most dominant forces, both Serena and Venus head into Wimbledon, which starts on Monday, without a grand slam title between them since 2010. The American sisters are both in their 30s now and have never hidden their desire to pursue off-court interests in fashion and show business....
On International Women’s Day, it was reported that the USWNT had filed a discrimination lawsuit against the United States Soccer Federation relating to equal pay and working conditions. Also on Friday, Adidas announced the winning team at the Women’s World Cup in France this year will receive the same bonus as their male counterparts, promoting the motto: “Equal pay for equal play”. Tennis star Williams described it as “ludicrous” that there should be a pay discrepancy between the US women’s team - who have been crowned world champions three times, most recently four years ago in Canada - and the men’s side....
Like Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova before her, and like few others in her sport, Williams is a monolith of her time. She has become the standard by which all females in tennis are judged. MEN: Kei Nishokori upsets No. 1 Novak Djokovic | Marin Cilic KO’s No. 2 Roger Federer; final on Monday No matter the tournament, everyone else is put in the class of challenger to Serena....
Earlier this week, Variety reported that the streamer was working on Selling the OC, a spin-off series that follows a second Oppenheim Group office in Newport Beach in the Orange County area of Los Angeles. The Oppenheim Group website gives us a glimpse of the realtors who will be the Chrishells, Christines and Amanzas of this new show, and details are starting to emerge about the Netflix spin-off. Here’s what we know about Selling the OC....
The gator was discovered inside a home in Florida’s Babcock Ranch community, just north of Fort Myers, The Miami Herald reported. While the worker was installing blinds throughout the new home, he noticed the large alligator–which was estimated to be between 10 to 12-feet–long– resting comfortably in the corner of the master bedroom. Professional alligator trappers were called to assist with removing the large reptile. It took two trappers to safely drag the gator through the patio door after removing the sliding glass panel....
The campaign—intended to promote clothing sold in skintone-shaded hues—came under complaint, and the complaint was upheld after an investigation by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The organization declared that it mocks a “potentially harmful social trend.” While the ASA said it was aware that the advertisement was for clothing in skintone-colored shades, it nonetheless said that it was more likely consumers would interpret the phrase as a harassing reference to an obnoxious and often-repeated request for naked photographs....
The most notable postponement so far is the Alabama-LSU game, which has traditionally been a marquee game for the entire nation to watch. However, LSU players have tested positive for the coronavirus, causing the postponement. Alabama is the No. 1 team in the country, and LSU is struggling this season at 2-3—including a blowout loss recently at Auburn. The SEC also announced Tuesday that this weekend’s Texas A&M game at Tennessee will also not be played because of an outbreak of COVID among A&M players....
