ANOTHER ROUND, PLEASE: German tax inspector breaks world record for carrying beer.
Oliver Strumpfel, a tax inspector, clinched the title at a festival in Bavaria on Sunday after carting dozens of the litre sized glasses which weighed almost 70 kg (154lbs) in total.
The 45-year-old almost carried 31 glasses but unfortunately one glass dropped at the very last moment and another ended up losing more than 10 per cent of its beer.
He was cheered on and then applauded by 1,500 onlookers yelling “Oli, oli” at the Gillamoos Fair in Abensberg where he carried out the Maßkrugtragen – otherwise known as beer tankard challenging – challenge.
“I first did 27, because I wanted to be sure and then at the end I said, ‘Let’s add another one and get over 30’,” Struempfel said.
“Unfortunately it didn’t quite work, but having managed to put 29 down … I think it’s amazing.”
Indeed.

DEPLORABLE: Publisher pulls book from Clinton’s pastor over plagiarism.
Rev. Brian Milford, president of The United Methodist Publishing House, which owns Abingdon Press, said the publisher “has zero tolerance for plagiarism.”
“Consequently, we have discontinued sales, will remove existing copies from all sales outlets, and will have them destroyed along with our existing inventory,” Milford said.
CNN previously reported that Shillady had plagiarized material in the book, which includes the pastor’s emails with Clinton during her Democratic presidential bid, prompting a review by the company that owns the book’s publisher.
Shillady had reportedly taken content from another pastor in a devotional he sent Clinton on the day she lost the election to Donald Trump.
“I deeply regret my actions,” Shillady said Tuesday, according to CNN. “I was wrong and there is no excuse for it. I apologize to those whose work I mistakenly did not attribute. I apologize to those I have disappointed, including Secretary Hillary Clinton, Abingdon Press, and all the writers and others who have helped me publish and promote this book. I ask for everyone’s forgiveness.”

TRACKS MORE THAN JUST FITNESS: Red Sox Used Apple Watches to Help Steal Signs Against Yankees.
The Yankees, who had long been suspicious of the Red Sox’ stealing catchers’ signs in Fenway Park, contended the video showed a member of the Red Sox training staff looking at his Apple Watch in the dugout. The trainer then relayed a message to other players in the dugout, who, in turn, would signal teammates on the field about the type of pitch that was about to be thrown, according to the people familiar with the case.
Baseball investigators corroborated the Yankees’ claims based on video the commissioner’s office uses for instant replay and broadcasts, the people said. The commissioner’s office then confronted the Red Sox, who admitted that their trainers had received signals from video replay personnel and then relayed that information to Red Sox players — an operation that had been in place for at least several weeks.
That’s a clever cheat, but still a cheat.

POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION ISN’T JUST FOR WOMEN: Dads affected by testosterone swings after babies arrive, study says. “A new study by the University of Southern California found that fathers face a higher risk of experiencing postpartum depression if testosterone levels drop nine months after the baby is born. The study, published in the September edition of Hormones and Behavior, consisted of 149 couples in the Community Child Health Research Network showed that men have biological responses to fatherhood.”
So the maternity hospital should include tubes of Androgel in the take-home kit?
Plus: “We know that fathers contribute a lot to child-rearing and that on the whole, kids do better if they are raised in households with a father present.” Be careful. statements like that will get you denounced by half the Penn Law faculty.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Two Resistances. “Which of the following is a smarter career move at Google, at an Aspen Institute colloquium, on the set of Disney, in a CNN newsroom, at a Citibank retreat, in the Yale faculty lounge, on the beach at Martha’s Vineyard, while sunning on David Geffen’s yacht, or talking on a panel at the National Press Club: to admit to voting for Donald Trump, or to proudly proclaim you are a member of the Resistance? Yet in contrast to the media-driven ‘Resistance,’ there is a more authentic ongoing resistance that Trump himself capitalized on, but hardly originated. It is a pushback against the corporate and government conglomerate of identity-politics McCarthyism, and elite coastal globalism, in which everything from going to a football game and hearing the national anthem, to watching a tennis match, to visiting a cemetery or park, to keeping up with the news of horrific weather devastation is calibrated by politics.”
