The star of the beloved American television show (which aired from 1987 to 1995) and its Netflix spin-off Fuller House (2016 to 2020) has died at the age of 65. Saget was found dead in his Florida hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando on Sunday, following a performance in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office tweeted: “Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room....

Labonte, the 1991 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion, the 2000 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion and a NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee, made the announcement this week in Charlotte, N.C. He will drive the No. 18 Yacco Toyota for RDV Competition. “Obviously, it’s an opportunity for myself and NASCAR U.S. and NASCAR in Europe to bring some recognition to the European Series,” Labonte, 53, said. “To be able to relate the message back and forth and get people interested....

Houston police were alerted to reports of a crash in the southwest of the city at about 2:30 p.m. on Monday, October 31. According to ABC13, police believe the driver of the grey sedan was involved in a single-car crash before the vehicle fell between two bridges in Wilcrest at about 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. that same day. The bodies of two people were found in the vehicle, which was fully submerged when the police managed to locate it....

Lincoln Police Department was alerted to reports of an unconscious man at the fast-food restaurant, which is off S 27th Street and Southpointe Trail, at about 10:40 p.m. on Monday. The officers found a 22-year-old man dead in the driver’s seat of a gray sedan. A Taco Bell employee told police that the vehicle had been parked in the lot for at least a day, according to CBS affiliate KOLN....

Leland Dart, a reporter with MyEverettNews.com, told Newsweek that the crowd outside Boeing’s facility in Everett, Washington appeared to be a mix of employees and individuals holding anti-vaccine sentiments there in support. A number of protestors outside the facility yelled “f*ck Joe Biden,” a response to the president’s September executive order requiring federal contractors to implement vaccine mandates. Boeing is the government’s fourth-largest contractor, according to Bloomberg Government. On October 12, the company issued a statement requiring its U....

The Jamaican, an all-time athletics legend after winning eight Olympic golds, retired after damaging his hamstring in his last ever race at the World Championships in London last year. After recovering from that injury, the 31-year-old has reiterated his desire to switch sports, claiming he has held talks with the club’s legendary former manager Alex Ferguson over a possible United deal, while his long mooted Dortmund trial is still on the cards....

The Anglo-Nigerian has been posting dazzling displays since his return from an ankle injury. And he scored the opener for the Whites in their 3-3 draw against Sunderland in Tuesday’s English Championship encounter. The effort saw the former Newcastle United man take his tally to three goals in four games. “Sammy was excellent tonight and he can be a very difficult player to deal with,” Parkinson told club website....

Leeds have turned to Thomas Christiansen to build on Garry Monk’s work at Elland Road last season, with a host of new faces arriving in West Yorkshire. Championship opening weekend preview Bolton, meanwhile, are back in the second tier after Phil Parkinson led them to promotion in his first season in charge, though they start the campaign as one of the favourites for relegation. TV CHANNEL & LIVE STREAM In the UK, the match will be available to watch live on television on Sky Sports Football and by stream via Sky Go and NOW TV....

“This li’l head of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,” the bald men sang, the fluorescent light bouncing off their dynamic domes. “Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!” This is not the way bald headed men are “supposed” to behave. Bald men are not supposed to be proud of their shiny pates. They are not supposed to lead well-adjusted lives with satisfied wives and happy kids....

Her premise is simple. Buoyed by the success of her acclaimed social history, “A Thousand Years Over a Hot Stove: A History of American Women Told Through Food, Recipes and Remembrances,” published in 2004, Schenone set out to uncover a bit of her own history by searching for the origins of a Schenone family tradition: making an obscure kind of ravioli at Christmas. Although she was raised “American but with an Italian bent” in New Jersey, her search takes her far beyond that state, to the kitchens of aging relatives and several times to remote parts of Italy....

The current bonanza is unusual even for Oates, who has just published her 94th book, “Middle Age: A Romance.” Her recent Oprah pick, “We Were the Mulvaneys,” was the author’s first No. 1 best seller and has sold 10 times more than any other book she’s written. And having historically appealed to a narrower readership, she’s now tapping into audiences all over the culture: from the millions of members of Oprah’s often less-than-literary book club and the CBS audience who watched “Blonde” to mystery fans to uppity critics....

As a high school English teacher, I know my students’ time is often far too divided to complete their reading homework—so saturated are their afternoons with sports practices and jobs and socializing. Thus, an abiding concern over children reading certain things, rather than concern for children reading not enough at all, has often baffled me. Yet book banning is nothing new, nor are the popular methods for doing so (removal from shelves, removal from databases and even burning books is evidently still practiced)....

Street-fighting legend Kimbo Slice opened at -475 at Bovada.lv for his Friday night bout against Dhafir Harris and has dropped to -175, per Oddsshark. Similar action and movement has prompted a handful of books to take the fight off the board entirely. MORE: Biggest betting scandals in sports history By late Thursday night, Slice had dropped from -360 to a pick’em at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. According to ESPN, CG Technology didn’t take a single bet on Slice until the line dropped to -160 and eventually pulled it off the board....

Therein lies one of the bigger challenges facing the year-old administration of President Nestor Kirchner. Argentina is enjoying a remarkable rebound from the economic collapse of two years ago, which toppled a democratically elected government and triggered the largest default on a country’s foreign debt in history. Led by a thriving agricultural sector, the economy grew by 8.7 percent in 2003–the first such increase in five years–and is set to expand by another 7 to 8 percent this year....

The video shared on TikTok in December by the dog’s owner, under the username Mikewtok, shows the border collie listening to his owner telling him a bedtime story about a hero shepherd dog, becoming increasingly interested when he mentions a “nice bone.” The story goes: “Once upon a time there was a good dog called Scamp, and there was a field of sheep, but the sheep were all spread out and the people said oh no the sheep are spread out what are we going to do?...

And with his successor President Joe Biden under scrutiny over the situation there, Trump has been able to return to the familiar talking point. In doing so, the former commander-in-chief could rouse his supporters as he looks to maintain political influence. The former president has twice released statements taking aim at Biden and his administration over the situation—defending his own record and urging completion of his border wall. On Sunday, Trump said the Biden administration had been handed the “most secure border in history,” criticizing its policies for exacerbating problems....

The exchange occurred on Thursday when a reporter, whose identity was not clear from a C-SPAN video, asked acting CBP commissioner Mark Morgan for a status update on “how many miles of wall has been constructed, not wall that’s replacing old wall, but new wall that has been built to this point.” “So 78 miles of new wall has been built,” Morgan replied. The reporter, skeptical about Morgan’s claim, pushed him further....

A “socially distanced drinks” gathering was held in May 2020 at Johnson’s Downing Street office, which is also his home. He believed the garden party to be a work event to thank staff for their efforts during the pandemic. However, Johnson’s office says he did not receive the “bring your own booze” invitation that was emailed by a senior prime ministerial aide to about 100 government staff. At issue is the fact that the Downing Street garden party occurred during a time when millions of people were not able to see family and friends, even to the extent that they were not allowed to visit hospitalized relatives who were dying....

If he felt the tension at his pro day Wednesday, he turned it into motivation to perform at a high level. Unlike Teddy Bridgewater, the first-round prospect out of Louisville who at his pro day showed little of what scouts had come to appreciate in his game, Bortles met the expectations square on. Draft analyst Mike Mayock said of Bortles’ workout: it “looked like it was supposed to look … He’s potentially a franchise quarterback....

An alleged employee at the Oklahoma business circulated his boss’s printed sign on Reddit’s “Antiwork” forum Thursday, claiming, “My boss (gun store) put this up in [the] break room today.” The image has racked up over 69,000 votes. “Drinks and snacks are no longer free,” declared the piece of paper, above an unflattering photo of Joe Biden with the derisive caption, “Durrr.” “This is due to the inflation caused by this idiot, his administration, and the morons that voted him in,” the sign went on....
