De Bruyne impressed again as City hammered Tottenham 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium to extend their winning Premier League run to 16 matches and stretch their lead at the top of the table to 14 points. Ilkay Gundogan opened the scoring with a 14th-minute header, while Raheem Sterling continued his impressive form in front of goal with two close-range finishes in the closing stages. However, it was De Bruyne who bagged the all-important second for City in the 70th minute, his left-footed drive capping a fine personal performance that had his manager purring in his post-match interview....

The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office announced the closure of the 1983 cold case of Lora Ann Huizar, who was abducted, sexually assaulted and killed. The detectives in the case named Deputy James Howard Harrison as the probable suspect. However, they are unable to press charges because he died in 2008, the department said in a press release posted on Facebook on Thursday. The sheriff’s office added that Harrison had worked for 10 separate law enforcement agencies since the 1960s....

On September 17, a dead humpback whale washed onto the shore at Great Kills Harbor in Staten Island, the New York Post reported. Officials with the National Parks Service (NPS) then called the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society (AMSEAS), who conducted an examination of the whale and “managed” its “disposal,” Live Science said. In a Facebook post the following day, AMSEAS stated that a necropsy exam of the 38-foot humpback whale revealed that the animal sustained “human-caused injuries....

Because emergency personnel were desperate to save lives and had no way of anticipating the ultimate scope of what would soon prove the worst terrorist attack in American history, they may have operated on the false assumption that the damage was complete after Tower One was struck by American Airlines Flight 11 just before 9 a.m. That assumption might have dramatically increased the death toll among fire fighters and other rescue workers who were the first arrivals at the scene of the disaster....

But he tricked a lot of people about where he would play in college, and when he would make his choice. MORE: Way-too-early top 25 rankings “I’m going to go to the University of Arizona,” he said on SportsCenter, holding up a T-Shirt with the basketball program’s slogan, “Bear Down.” He was recruited by associate head coach Joe Pasternack and eighth-year coach Sean Miller, who has led the Wildcats to three Elite Eight appearances but still is seeking his first Final Four....

As much as we loved Jacob, that period of our lives is still incredibly painful to remember. Yet, years after his death, letters addressed to Jacob find their way into our mailbox. Early on, I was driven almost to tears by these inducements for our son to attend a ritzy local private school or to sample a particular snack cake. I knew my wife would be devastated by such mail, and I tried to get to the mailbox first so that she would never be affronted by envelopes addressed to her dead first child....

She threw her hands up in the air, broke out into a dance and even joined her son in the cage. During his post-fight interview, she celebrated with him further. Tiller, who’s affectionately nicknamed “The Mama’s Boy,” loved every second of it. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year “It was beautiful,” he told Sporting News about seeing his mom celebrate his — their — victory back at the Professional Fighters League 3 event in June....

Justice Harry Blackmun won’t have the problem anymore. Last week, changing his position after nearly a quarter century on the court, he renounced capital punishment. “From this day forward,” he wrote in a solitary dissent, “I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.” Blackmun said the American system of capital punishment was unconstitutional because it was applied unfairly, arbitrarily and with racial bias; not only that, the system “must wrongly kill some defendants,” he said....

My father came home to convalesce, and from the very beginning the Gestapo was in front of our house. On Oct. 14, two generals [came] to the house [and] asked to speak to my father alone. My father came upstairs and said to my mother: “I will be dead in 20 minutes. They told me I participated in the plot. They told me that they would give me the chance to die from poison....

Such grisly crimes aren’t entirely uncommon. Last week a cleaning woman at a movie theater in New York’s Long Island found an hours-old boy asphyxiated in a toilet. FBI statistics show that 207 children younger than a week were murdered in 1994, a 92 percent increase since 1973. There is a pattern to these deaths. The parents are usually young and poor; the mother frequently acts alone. But Grossberg and Peterson don’t fit the profile, which is one reason their families–and suburban parents around the country–are so shaken....

The Nellis Air Force Range in southern Nevada is home to the country’s largest herd of wild horses. Soon it could become their graveyard. These days the depleted range 175 miles northwest of Las Vegas is dotted with emaciated mustangs. Their ribs are barely concealed by hides that are scarred from battles fought over the dwindling supply of food and water. Mares, no longer able to produce milk, have abandoned their young....

In a post shared the Am I Being Unreasonable? (AIBU) forum on Tuesday, user Southwig22 wrote that a neighbor had stopped her while she was out walking her dog. The man said her pet was “fouling” his property by urinating on a bush in his garden, one that happens to share a boundary with the public footpath. George Patient, founder and editor of Merch Mates—a website offering guides on a range of lifestyle topics, including gardening—told Newsweek: “The acidity in dog urine can damage plant roots, causing them to become yellow or brown and eventually die....

On August 8, Steph, who uses the handle stephinto on TikTok, shared the video which has since received more than 450,000 views and thousands of comments. Upset over children on flights is nothing new and more people have been calling for adult-only flights as a result of crying children during their journey. A survey of over 3,000 travelers found that 60 percent said they have been disrupted by a child on a plane, while 64 percent said they would like to see child-free areas on planes....

The photo dates back to 2003, and was originally published on Getty Images. “Socialite Ghislaine Maxwell with an unidentified male companion attends the Opening of the Asprey Flagship Store on 5th Avenue December 8, 2003 in New York City,” reads the caption of the photo. However, it doesn’t take much digging to find that Wayfair doesn’t even have a President of Operations, and it never did. So, who is the mysterious man?...

Let’s try to decipher it all. MORE: Pelicans have one choice to make with Anthony Davis Davis was asked about the list of teams that his agent, Rich Paul, had given to the Pelicans, teams he’d like to be traded to and with whom he’d be willing to sign a new contract. On that list: the Lakers, Knicks, Clippers and Bucks. So, was this a real list? “Whatever list that came out, that’s between my agent and the Pelicans,” Davis said....

GREENE RESIGNED, apologizing for his “indiscretions.” The Tribune covered the story on its front page. Since then, Chicago’s been awash in gleefully salacious tales of Greene’s other purported extramarital affairs: Steve Dahl, a Chicago shock jock, invited women who were willing to divulge the details of their dalliances to call in to his show last Wednesday. Meanwhile, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg, who was a guest on Dahl’s show, penned one of the year’s tawdriest columns, detailing one woman’s description of her affair with Greene....

NEWSWEEK: Oil prices are flirting with $100 a barrel. Do you expect them to continue rising? James Burkhard: As long as anxiety about the reliability of supply remains strong, prices will rise. They are going to be volatile, with significant upward pressure. Why are analysts worried about supply? Let me boil it down to one thing: what is behind this price rise is the perception that supply will not be able to keep up with rising demand....

Party then, pay now. Tailhook (named after the hook on the plane that grabs hold of landing cables on aircraft carriers) has become the seaborne service’s worst nightmare–a scandal that has toppled the secretary of the navy, tarnished the brass and badly sapped morale. In an extensive investigation, NEWSWEEK has pieced together an anatomy of the scandal, from its roots in the navy’s macho culture, to the sordid events at the Las Vegas Hilton, to the slow crumbling of the aviators’ code of silence....

Carlos Gabriel Campos Zapata, 19, and Alexandra Antonella Porras Inga, 18, died on December 15 as they cleaned the McDonald’s in Lima’s Pueblo Libre district, Agence France-Presse reported. According to Sky News, the two were a couple who had worked at the restaurant for several months. Lima is the capital of Peru and has a population of nearly 9 million people, slightly more than New York City. In Peru, McDonald’s restaurants are owned by a company called Arcos Dorados (Spanish for “golden arches”), which also runs the restaurants in several other Latin American countries....

The $777.9 billion National Defense Authorization Act of 2022 initially included a provision to “modernize the Selective Service System” by requiring women ages 18 to 25 to sign up for a draft. The bill said it wanted to do this to “support the mobilization needs of the Department of Defense by including women if the all-volunteer model is no longer able to recruit enough people during a time of national crisis,” according to a summary of the bill from the House Armed Service Committee....
