On Wednesday, Peters issued an apology to GM Brad Treliving saying, “Please accept this as a sincere apology to you, and the entire Calgary Flames organization, for offensive language I used in a professional setting a decade ago,” read the statement, which he also sent to TSN’s Bob McKenzie and Sportnet’s Eric Francis at the same time as Treliving. “I know that my comments have been the source of both anger and disappointment, and I understand why....

The trailer features a green figure which grows larger and becomes blurry. Brief bits of her songs play over a creepy beat, along with the deep-voiced “Billie” that introduces her hit, “bury a friend.” The screen is then taken over by neon green stripes before showing the title of the documentary. The teaser clip also gives us a glimpse of a home video of a baby Billie sitting by a piano....

On Tuesday, Beasley and fellow receiver Gabriel Davis were removed from the Bills’ facility as a result of contact tracing.

New England is a 7-point favorite to beat Buffalo with a game total of 48.5. Visit our odds page for updated lines. Fantasy Alarm predicts the Pats’ defense will do a number on the Bills’ backfield. The DFS site projects Taylor will complete just 16.5 passes, far south of the 20.5 listed at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. The sports book’s over-under of 82.5 rushing yards for McCoy is a tad above Fantasy Alarm’s prediction of 70....

The Hall of Fame defensive end pulled out a photo taken the day he signed his rookie contract in 1985. The picture showed Wilson with his hands across his face as if he were praying. "He has that worried look on his face, like, 'Lord knows, I hope I'm not wasting this draft pick on this chubby kid from Norfolk, Va.,'" Smith said, laughing. "I thought it would be befitting I brought this, and showed some of the players....

Blow for BUF. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 2, 2014 The Bills have neither confirmed nor denied the report. The Bills could be without star linebacker Kiko Alonso for some time. The team announced Tuesday night that Alonso suffered a knee injury while training in Oregon. “We do not have the details at this point, but early indications are that it may be significant,” general manager Doug Whaley said in the statement....

The Bills’ Josh Allen is the leading MVP candidate. His QB counterpart in the game, Matthew Stafford is trying to continue to change the narrative of his career after helping the Rams raise the Lombardi Trophy. Buffalo’s defense gets a boost from new edge rusher Von Miller, who was part of the Rams’ run to a title last season. Los Angeles still has Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey as the 1-2 punch of its D....

The cleaner, who is known on social media as Biggie Clean, uploaded a clip on Thursday to his TikTok account, where he regularly shares videos showing the aftermath of crime scenes and hoarding cases. It has already been watched more than 11 million times. Biggie Clean, who says his videos are “spreading awareness and reducing the stigma behind hoarding and related mental illnesses,” captioned the clip: “Don’t smoke kids.”...

What Are Biologics? Biologics work by mimicking substances naturally made by your immune system. These drugs are manufactured using genetic engineering, which means that certain genes—those that would normally guide the production of human immune system proteins—are produced artificially in large amounts. Because these drugs are active antibodies, they must be injected in the skin or given intravenously (through a vein). Most biologics for psoriatic disease are given by self-injection....

HARTWELL: You are born with a certain set of genes, so the most you can get out of DNA is inherited risk. The exception is cancer, where there are some DNA changes during the course of the disease. But you’re pretty much limited to biopsying the tumor to find the DNA, and if you’re interested in early detection or even signs of increased risks, you don’t have a tumor to biopsy....

Republican Representative Michael Waltz of Florida, Democratic Representative Stephanie Murphy of Florida and Republican Dan Crenshaw of Texas filed legislation that would award Cashe the Medal of Honor even though current federal law renders him ineligible because more than five years have elapsed since his actions. In October 2005, while serving during his second tour of duty in Iraq, Cashe’s military vehicle was hit by an IED (improvised explosive device) before he and his fellow troops came under fire from nearby combatants....

While research has pointed to a possible link between hormonal birth control use and a slight increase in breast cancer risk, experts say it’s important to consider these findings in context. This article provides an overview of research on hormonal birth control methods and breast cancer risk, hormonal birth control’s potential protective benefits, and more.

An unnamed woman visited her doctor because she had experienced abnormal bleeding from her vagina for three months, according to the case report published in BMJ Case Reports. The 31-year-old was otherwise healthy, had never had surgery, and had no family history of a condition that might explain her condition. She had also had regular menstrual cycles, and had used the Implanon NXT contraceptive for eight years. Doctors inserted an implant into her arm in 2010, then again in 2013, and once again in 2017....

In fact, even to call “El Nino” an oratorio is misleading. That’s what it’ll be when a CD version comes out, but last week’s North American premiere with the San Francisco Symphony was a sort of multimedia opera, directed by Peter Sellars, who did “Nixon in China” and Adams’s even more controversial 1991 opera, “The Death of Klinghoffer.” The principal singers, Upshaw, Lieberson and the titanic bass-baritone Willard White (both Joseph and Herod), move in elaborately choreographed dramatic gestures and are shadowed by a trio of dancers; high above the onstage orchestra and chorus, a silent film by Sellars–shot in both digital video and wonderfully funky Super-8–tells a parallel story, with the same dancers and a teenage mother in East L....

Footage of the breast filet taking viewers through a recipe for what appears to be a Chinese dish was shared to TikTok by New World Cuisine. It’s one of several stop-animation videos that have been uploaded to the channel but it is by far the most popular with the clip accumulating over 15 million views already. It can be watched here. There’s something undeniably tempting about watching a good recipe video....

The photo quickly went viral after being uploaded onto the 4 million-member-strong r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit on Wednesday, with some 50,000 votes and more than 4,240 comments. Reddit user capjacktain shared the long list from the Irani Cafe business with the caption: “This list was on every table in this cafe.” The 23 item-long list included rather obvious rules including “no smoking,” “no fighting” and “no gum under table.” But there were more questionable rules on the list, which included “no sitting long,” “no Candy Crush” and “no flirting with cashier....

As Simpson was arraigned on murder charges last week, he was still a man first. Nonracial factors – namely his celebrity status and the millions he can afford to spend for a first-class defense – are far more connected to the outcome of his trial than the color of his skin. The story remains more Menendez than Rodney King; spouse abuse remains more relevant than racism. But race had steadily made its way into a case that was originally thought to transcend it....

Expecting to receive a flurry of goodbye wishes, I hurried downstairs, but what he revealed to me was something else entirely, something that would drastically alter the direction of my life: I was adopted. My parents handed me a notebook full of contacts to biological brothers and sisters that I had no idea existed. They told me that my birthmother was confined to a nursing home and that doctors wasn’t sure how much longer she was going to live, and that my biological father was someone who I had been told previously was my uncle....

The Black Panther actor died aged 43 after privately battling the disease, also known as colon cancer, for four years, his family said. In an appearance on CNN, Dr. Richina Bicette said Boseman’s death highlights the fact that “health disparities in America as it relates to race and ethnicity have very little to do with socioeconomic status or education level.” Dr. Bicette said: “We are seeing that African Americans are disproportionately being diagnosed with, and dying from, colorectal cancer at earlier ages than other ethnicities....
