With Week 2 of the NFL season comes double the “Monday Night Football” fun as the ESPN family of networks will air two prime-time games, beginning with an AFC showdown between the Bills and Titans. The Bills, who are coming off an impressive Week 1 win over the Rams will be well-rested as they get back on the field for the first time since Sept. 8. The Titans, on the other hand, opened the season with a less-than-impressive Week 1 loss to the Giants on Sept....

After spending the last six seasons with the Jets, the Bills welcomed Ryan to his new home on Tuesday in a rather unusual way. Instead of giving him a standard cheese pizza, they added their own touch by putting, “Welcome Rex” on top. Only thing is, it didn’t look all that appetizing.

Mao craved sex, and he believed it prolonged his life. He practiced droit du seigneur on a grand scale, taking countless awe struct peasant girls into his bed, sometimes several at once. Not that he cared about them. When Dr. Li discovered that Mao was carrying a venereal disease, the chairman refused treatment. “If it’s not hurting me, then it doesn’t matter,” he said. Dr. Li writes: “The young women were proud to be infected....

The dispute is diverting attention from the real problem: the health-care system is drastically underfunded. Most homeland-security money is going to “emergency responders” who know how to deal with the aftermath of explosions or other disasters, rather than experts who can detect, respond to and quarantine an epidemic that may take days to spread. “The bottom line,” says Tara O’Toole of the Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies at Johns Hopkins, “is that hospitals are not prepared....

The amendment will be brought by Democratic Representative Zoe Lofgren of California and Republican Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio. Under the proposal, authorities would be required to obtain a warrant before delving into the internet histories of Americans in an attempt to garner information. “I’m glad that we’ll get to vote on this important measure to protect Americans’ Third and Fourth Amendment rights,” Davidson said in a Friday statement. “This reform—while just the tip of the iceberg—is a major step forward in protecting Americans’ right to privacy....

When asked why more people don’t copy his investing strategy, Warren Buffett famously answered, “Because nobody wants to get rich slow.” This is especially true in the crypto world, where fortunes seem to be made overnight. In 2013, I wrote a story for Businessweek about a man who erased a hard drive that had 800 bitcoins on it. When I wrote the story, they were worth $200,000. They are now worth more than $15 million....

As fears spiked about the potential economic damage resulting from the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, some of the most popular forms of digital money sharply plunged. The price of Bitcoin — the biggest coin by market capitalization — tumbled by more than 40 percent from the previous day, CNBCreported. Other forms of cryptocurrency felt the impact, with metrics from price tracking tool CoinMarketCap showing Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), and Litecoin also suffering dramatic downturns....

“Of course, you know, we can only speculate,” Jesse Powell, CEO of the San Francisco-based cryptocurrency trading exchange Kraken, told Bloomberg TV Thursday, “but when we measure it in terms of dollars, you have to think it’s going to infinity.” He claims the U.S. dollar is in trouble, and Bitcoin is positioned to become the new standard of value. “This national currency’s only 50 years old, it’s already showing extreme signs of weakness,” Powell said, “and pretty soon I think people are going to start measuring the price of things in Bitcoin....

The cathedral said replacing the windows was part of a need to correct what it called a “false narrative of what America once was.” The old windows “were a barrier to our mission and impediment to worship in this place, and they had no place being in sacred space,” the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of the cathedral, said Thursday. “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the cathedral to not only create beautiful art but to stake a claim about what and who we value....

Ronnie Dalton, 68, from Carroll County had been out hunting on Saturday in Hillsville and was about to pack up for the day when the incident occurred, The Carroll News reported. Dalton was in his hunting tree stand when he noticed a black bear cub nearby. After scanning the area for the mother and failing to find her, he decided it was safe to climb down. But when he reached the floor, he spotted her and the animal rushed towards him in an aggressive manner....

This year is no exception, as there are plenty of products discounted online at major U.S. retailers already. Of course, Black Friday is a notoriously hectic and busy time, with deals appearing on websites one minute and then vanishing the next. As such, it can be tough to keep track of everything that’s going on and, even online, you can find yourself in fierce competition against other shoppers for finite supplies....

It means that black holes, which are formed when stars three times the size of our Sun run out of fuel and undergo a complete collapse, could be more complex than scientists had previously grasped. The results could also mean black holes are the ideal laboratory for finding a solution that has troubled some of physics’ greatest minds. Professor Xavier Calmet of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sussex, U....

The Black Lives Matter U.K. account tweeted: “As Israel moves forward with the annexation of the West Bank, and mainstream British politics is gagged of the right to critique Zionism, and Israel’s settler colonial pursuits, we loudly and clearly stand beside our Palestinian comrades. “Free Palestine.” The President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Marie van der Zyl, criticized the tweet, describing it as “beyond disappointing” and for leaning into an “antisemitic trope that British politics is “gagged....

Warren Friedman spotted the black mamba in a tree on his property, which borders a nature reserve. He said he often sees black mambas around—one even crawled inside his letterbox, giving his wife, Shirley, a big surprise when she opened it and came face-to-face with the snake. Black mambas are one of the deadliest species of snake in the world. Their venom, if untreated, has a fatality rate of 100 percent....

The accumulating ice could weigh down power lines, snapping them or causing tree limbs to fall and damage the lines. The forecast has some meteorologists concerned about the impact to the Texas power grid, which failed in 2021 as a frigid storm left more than 4 million without power or access to food and water. The storm killed hundreds. The grid has faced numerous threats since the deadly storm and has been scrutinized for its ability to handle winter weather....

At least seven people charged with being part of a mob that breached Capitol security as Congress met to certify President Joe Biden’s Electoral College win have justified their actions as just following orders from the president. However, it’s a flawed legal strategy because the president can’t instruct someone to break the law. “The fact that Trump, or anyone, incited them to commit a crime isn’t a defense,” Jens David Ohlin, interim dean and law professor at Cornell Law School, told Newsweek....

Curry, the reigning MVP, dropped 24 points on New Orleans in the first quarter Tuesday.
