Online shoppers see photos and even take 360-degree “virtual tours.” They use online mortgage calculators and maps to check that a house is close to trains, highways and schools. They compare SAT scores, average home prices and family incomes in different cities. On Rubloff Residential Properties’ Web site, www.rubloff.com, the Blairs even learned the history of their home. It was originally owned by a jeweler who installed secret safes. Sellers benefit, too....
Buffett, of course, is a Wall Street legend. His investing skills have made him the second richest person in the United States, according to Forbes magazine, which puts his net worth at $9.2 billion. Shares of his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, have risen from about $12 since Buffett took control in 1965 to around 823,000 now. Among Buffett’s best-known successes is Berkshire’s 15 percent stake in NEWSWEEK’S parent, The Washington Post Company, which is worth about 45 times what Buffett paid for it in the early 1970s....
Most of the time, they didn’t find it. The pizza boxes contained lousy pizza with crust that tasted like paper. Too often the bands played as if it were just another arena rock show, with lots of guitar histrionics. Porta Potties overflowed by the end of the first night, prompting one desperate emcee to announce, “There’s a lot of people over-pooping the poopers.” The mosh pit got a bit heavy at times, with injured patrons being passed back to the soundboard....
He’s an incredible athlete, with explosive speed on the bases, impressive power at the plate and a second-to-none ability to track down would-be hits in the outfield. He’s had stretches where he lived up to his expectations as the No. 2 overall pick of the 2012 MLB Draft; in the second half of 2017, Buxton hit .300 with an .893 OPS, 11 homers, 13 stolen bases and 40 runs scored in 57 games....
The Jets linebacker has been sidelined since Week 1 with a groin injury, but told reporters after Thursday’s practice that he will play this week. The Jets need all the reinforcements they can get — they had a rough start to the season by losing Sam Darnold to mono, then losing the first four games of the year. However, Darnold came back in Week 6 to help New York upset Dallas, 24-22....
You should have been there. It was really an experience. Lee lived up to that nickname, and then some. What follows is a few snippets from that conversation, an attempt to give you a glimpse into the mind of a man who marches to the beat of his own drum. MORE: Bill Lee’s baseball life in pictures | SN selects the most beloved player for every MLB team But first, a little background....
The exclusive video obtained and published by the Daily Mail this week shows 72-year-old O’Reilly was visibly upset that his flight to the Turks and Caicos Islands earlier this month was delayed for more than three hours. It appears that O’Reilly took out his frustrations on the employee, calling him a “f***ing scumbag.” “We need to know what you’re going to do,” O’Reilly can be heard saying. “It’s three hours late now....
A statement from New York Congresswoman’s office on Sunday night said Ocasio-Cortez had tested positive and was recovering from the virus at home. The statement said she was experiencing symptoms. The statement said Ocasio-Cortez received her booster shot in the fall. A video circulating on social media shows Ocasio-Cortez without a mask addressing a Miami bar and hugging actor Billy Porter at the party over new year. In a post on his website on Monday, O’Reilly, a former FOX News host who now presents his own programme No Spin News, criticized the Democrat....
Boston Celtics’ legend Bill Russell’s NBA accolades speak for themselves. Playing 13 years in the league, Russell led the Celtics to 11 championships along with five Most Valuable Player awards, 12 All-Star selections and an Olympic gold medal in 1956. Russell revolutionized the game with his supreme athletic ability, defensive prowess and relentless penchant for winning, cementing himself as one of the greatest players in NBA history. “He thought that any team he plays on should win every single game," said Russell’s Celtics teammate Tom “Satch” Sanders....
The biggest comeback in the history of the national championship game, that is. The Jayhawks, the last No. 1 seed standing in the 2022 men’s basketball tournament, rallied from a 16-point deficit in the second half to beat No. 8 North Carolina 72-69 at the Caesars Superdome on Monday. Kansas (34-6) won its first national championship since 2008. Five Jayhawks scored double figures, and Bill Self won his second national championship with the program....
The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act was reintroduced Friday by Representative Jerrold Nadler, along with fellow Democrats Earl Blumenauer, Sheila Jackson Lee, Hakeem Jeffries and Nydia Velázquez. The legislation passed the House in a historic vote last December—it was the first time a full chamber of Congress had taken up the issue of federally decriminalizing cannabis—but stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate. Nadler argued Friday that it’s time for the federal government to “keep up” with state legalizations of the drug....
The deal must be approved by the NBA’s Board of Governors and is expected to be finalized by the end of September, the team said. Tsai, 55, already owned 49 percent of the team, which he bought for $1 billion last year. According to a New York Post report this week, he is buying the remaining 51 percent from Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov for $1.35 billion. In total, Tsai will have paid $2....
Such was the case on Sunday when Damar Hamlin flashed his signature heart gesture in the owner’s box during the Bengals vs. Bills game. Hamlin’s return to Highmark Stadium brought a swell of emotion. But it also brought a host of scatterbrain conspiracy theories, with some outlets going as far as claiming that the 24-year old safety — decked out in a ski mask — was not actually at the game....
Without that lie about American aggression, none of the many verses of the Qur’an that bin Laden cites would justify violence, much less the unholy slaughter of civilians. There are many interpretations of jihad–which means, literally, “effort.” Often it describes the personal struggle merely to be a better, more pious Muslim. The empire builders of Islam waged military offensives in the name of jihad as late as the 17th century, and not a few turned their righteous doctrines on each other....
I haven’t read Kitty Kelley’s new book. But I have read enough news and editorial comment to get a pretty good idea of the issues in the controversy. Kelley, whose book about Frank Sinatra I admired for its scouring thoroughness, has been charged with writing out of an animus so virulent that Nancy Reagan is her victim rather than her subject. Kelley may well have loaded her case against Nancy Reagan....

The Boston Globe first reported on Sunday that the group of Democrats and Republicans (all of whom do not support the president) convened an online meeting to hash out scenarios as part of what has been called the Transition Integrity Project in June. The online meeting, which reportedly used the so-called Chatham House Rules that allows participants to discuss the conversation but not those who participated, played out a variety of scenarios that resulted in “violence....
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that year-to-date, more than 2,100 wild birds have been detected with influenza. More than 40 million poultry have been affected by the virus. The outbreak at Noah’s Ark could lead to other birds being at risk. If birds are discovered with H5N1, they may be humanely euthanized. Noah’s Ark is home to ostriches, emu, parrots and other birds. H5N1 is highly pathogenic and causes severe disease and high mortality rates in infected birds, according to the CDC....
“Please avoid travel in downtown Birmingham!” the National Weather Service (NWS) Birmingham Twitter account stated. “Multiple water rescues, cars swept away in flood waters, roads impassable…flooding reports continue to rush in.” As of Wednesday afternoon, the NWS has the area around Birmingham under a flash flood warning or flood advisory, while much of the state is under a “hazardous weather outlook” for potentially severe storms through Wednesday evening. Around 5:15 p....
There is even evidence that bisphosphonates may improve survival times in premenopausal and postmenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer. However, not all women will benefit from treatment. Of the available bisphosphonates agents, only two are specifically used to protect bones in women with breast cancer: Bonefos (clodronic acid), taken by mouthZometa (zoledronic acid), delivered by injection Despite differences in availability, Bonefos and Zometa are both endorsed for use in breast cancer in a joint guideline issued by the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) and Cancer Care Ontario (CCO)....
