Yet, as the most recent polls show, Oz has edged back into contention. The Democrats’ late summer upswing may turn out to be fool’s gold in what was always going to be a bad year for the party in power. The Pennsylvania Senate race may actually be decided by an issue that ought to scare Democrats across the nation. A surge in crime, and murder in particular, has become impossible to ignore—and Oz’s opponent, Lt....
Ronaldo was given permission to leave Portugal national team camp early after picking up a suspension for yellow card accumulation that ruled him out of the nation’s qualifier against Azerbaijan. His two late goals on Sept. 1 helped Portugal to a stunning 2-1 comeback win against the Republic of Ireland and also helped him set a men’s world record for international goals. But Ronaldo received a yellow card after removing his shirt to celebrate the second goal, leading to the suspension....
Welcome to HMO hell. According to a new poll–commissioned by the Discovery Health Channel and carried out in conjunction with NEWSWEEK–61 percent are “frustrated and angry” about the state of the health-care system. More than half believe that “fundamental changes” are needed–and seven in 10 favor some kind of action by the federal government. No wonder Washington is in such a lather. Six years ago, after the Clinton administration’s failed effort to introduce managed care by fiat, health-care reform became a forbidden zone in national politics....
Shortly after joining, I found a colleague’s list of Pandora personal radio stations. While most of the titles were innocuous, one in particular, “I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You,” seemed rather, well, personal. I could have found this information using a search engine like Google, but I would have had to know what I was looking for, and would probably have had to sift through dozens of Web pages....
Gastrointestinal Symptoms Gastrointestinal (GI) tract symptoms are the primary effects of Crohn’s disease. Approximately 30 percent of people with Crohn’s disease have involvement in the small intestine, particularly the terminal ileum (the junction through which partially digested food moves from the small intestine to the large intestine). Another 20 percent only have involvement of the colon, while 45 percent have both. Among the characteristic symptoms of Crohn’s disease: Abdominal pain is usually the first sign and is often concentrated in the lower right side of the abdomen, where the terminal ileum is located....
On screen, Knightley, 18, is so beautiful she can make you lose track of which movie you’re watching–but it’s her moxie that pulls you back. As Juliet, the soccer-mad teen in “Bend It Like Beckham,” Knightley was exuberant and utterly convincing. (Of course, as it turns out, she is a soccer-mad teen.) And in “Pirates,” opposite Orlando Bloom, she took an underwritten, damsel-in-distress character and turned her into a full-blooded, damsel-doing-just-fine-thank-you....
Bitcoin recovery is stable, investors cautious over COVID situation in China, global inflation and geo-political tensions. Key Highlights BTC formed triple bottom around $38,000 and showed a minor pullback. It was one of the worst performers this month and lost nearly $10,000 as macro sentiment weakens.

The Mali international limped off in the first half of the English Premier League tie and could be out of action for a long period. “We won’t know how bad it is until tomorrow but my medical staff and sports scientists are very good and have an unerring knack at being right with their initial prognosis, and they aren’t very optimistic – they don’t think it’s very good at all,” Hodgson told club website....
The 36th Senate District Democrat published a piece on Medium Tuesday, “Fighting for Freedom Takes Courage,” which described how her banking executive husband has “used his powerful position at Morgan Stanley” in an attempt to “destroy” her life. Kasser accused Bergstein of engaging in “homophobic, entitled man attacks” on her partner, Nichola Samponaro, a fellow Greenwich native. Kasser said the “painful” divorce battle has become too large of a burden on her personal life and that her resignation will allow her to focus on escaping the “abusive situation” created by her estranged husband....
Yes, you read that correctly. On Tuesday, Gooding Jr. attended the Chicago Blackhawks game, where he was brought out to compete in the intermission contest. In a rousing game of “Shoot the Puck,” he missed on his first two attempts, but nailed the third shot, took off across the ice and promptly began disrobing himself. Why, you ask? Not sure anyone knows the answer. Thankfully, someone escorted Gooding off the nice before it could go too far....
With two outs in the sixth inning of a one-run game, San Diego infielder Ty France broke halfway home as Wieck was coming set. Perhaps a bit surprised, Wieck made an atrocious pitch-throw to the plate, airmailing his catcher. France jogged home with ease. MORE: Pete Alonso honors 9/11 victims with custom cleats The Padres’ dugout was thoroughly amused by the moment. The Cubs? Not so much. After their 4-0 loss to the Padres, a once-commanding wild-card lead is now completely gone, with the Brewers moving into a tie for the second position....
Indeed, the early returns on Suzuki are more akin to Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro than Yoshi Tsutsugo or even Hideki Matsui. FOSTER: 17 overreactions to start of 2022 MLB season, from Steven Kwan to Shohei Ohtani to the same old Mets With his two home runs Tuesday against the Pirates, Suzuki, 27, set a MLB record with eight RBI and four (or more) walks over his first four games....
None of this is surprising. The Cubs have played far and away the best defense in the majors this season (61 Defensive Runs Saved). They’ve displayed a powerful and consistent offense, second only to the Red Sox overall (as measured by wRC+). And their rotation has an ERA under 3.00. It’s easy to see why Cubs fans are dreaming about a World Series parade down Michigan Avenue. The Cubs will no doubt enter the postseason as a heavy favorite to at least play in the franchise’s first World Series since 1945....
In short, the dress code is “you have to.” MORE: Today’s most fashionable athletes | Top 10 all-time Cubs “If you think you look hot, you wear it,” Maddon said at the time, smiling. “I’ve always rallied against the fact that (the) previous generation really frowns upon non-collared shirts, which I’ve never understood. They’ve always been in favor of the collared shirt and that being more acceptable than the non-collared shirt....
MARGOLIS: What will be your message for Davos? GIL: It’s an economic and social forum, but with many interfaces between the economy, culture, the environment and social organizations. We want to express the importance of culture–literature, music, cinema–in international relations. We also want to talk about the Brazilian spirit: the cordiality, the peaceful nature of Brazilian people. What is the cultural significance of Lula’s landslide election? This is Brazilian political culture rising from the bottom to the top....
After flirting with a potential season-altering win in terms of the race for the first overall pick in Week 13, the Jets reverted to type and were on the receiving end of a 40-3 shellacking in Seattle, dropping to 0-13 for the season and remaining in the box seat in the race to be the first team to pick in next year’s NFL Draft. As per Tankathon, the Jets have the third-hardest remaining schedule strength in the NFL, with road trips against the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots either side of a home game against the Cleveland Browns....
Cutler’s salary beyond 2014, with a guarantee of $15.5 million in 2015, isn’t too crazy considering the going rate for such quarterbacks. The Bears also should be willing to part with him for less than a second-round pick to get their own pricey whiff off the books. We can count 10 teams that at least need to look at the possibility, some for much longer than others. Titans: Coach Ken Whisenhunt has some history of being a quarterback whisperer and resurrector with Kurt Warner and Philip Rivers....
What constitutes an act of cyberwar as opposed to espionage remains ill-defined, and the issue is further complicated by the fact that several nations harbor and benefit from the actions of cybercriminals, even though they may not directly fund their activities. Nonetheless, the U.S. government faces pressure from the private sector to act on these attacks, as companies who fall victim to attacks face tens of millions of dollars in subsequent damages....
Approximately 1,300 Syrians have reached Cyprus by sea since 2019, with one-third arriving in the past three months, according to official data. Additionally, 3,896 have also entered Cyprus via Turkey in the last two years, the Associated Press reported. “Their numbers have reached such levels that their integration into local communities is realistically unsustainable,” the Cypriot Foreign Ministry told the Associated Press Thursday. Cyprus also requested that the EU border agency Frontex help curtail the flow of migrants from Turkey, the Associated Press reported....
