Designating your partner as your health-care proxy and giving him or her durable power of attorney will guarantee that your loved one can be at your side and help make decisions for you. And a will is essential....
Never answer an e-mail from your bank or credit-card issuer, because the vast majority of those e-mails are fake, even though they look real. If you get e-mail from what you think is, say, Citibank, asking you to verify your password (yeah, right), call Citibank directly. Or go to the Citi Web site yourself–though not by clicking on the e-mail-embedded link. Read your statements right away, and carefully. You have 60 days to report suspicious checks or withdrawals if you want the bank to investigate false charges....

The drug, tecovirimat, or TPOXX, was approved in 2018 to treat smallpox—another orthopoxvirus—and the CDC recently made it easier for doctors to use the drug to treat monkeypox. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned this week, however, that studies it has reviewed identify “several genetic pathways for orthopoxviruses to become resistant to tecovirimat,” and that many “of the resistance pathways require only a single amino acid change” to “cause a substantial reduction in tecovirimat antiviral activity....

The Portugal international had scored twice in Europa League qualifying and added three more to his tally for his new club in the opening game of the group stage campaign. ACM 10/1 to beat Udinese 3-1 A matchball was just reward for a wonderful display in which Silva linked up with Hakan Calhanoglu and Nikola Kalinic, with Montella suggesting the victory would do the forward a great deal of good....
Milan were jeered off at San Siro following an underwhelming 0-0 draw against AEK Athens in the Europa League on Thursday.

But an under-fire Montella insists his squad, which was overhauled in the off-season, can turn their fortunes around with the backing of the supporters....

It claims McCain “voted to allow illegals to collect Social Security.” That’s untrue. Nobody who is in the country illegally could be paid any Social Security benefits under McCain’s immigration bill. It implies McCain supported “amnesty” for illegal immigrants. That word isn’t accurate. Illegal immigrants wouldn’t have received a blanket pardon under McCain’s bill. Instead, they would have had to pay thousands in penalties and fees to gain legal status....

Police investigators are convinced they know who was behind the Madrid-style bombings. Only two terrorist organizations in the region have the skills and resources for such a massive, coordinated attack–and this, police believe, was a joint operation by both networks. One alleged partner is Lashkar-i-Taiba, a Kashmiri separatist group that has been outlawed since 2002 in Pakistan, the country where it began 16 years ago. The other group is the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), a homegrown jihadist outfit that is spreading rapidly among disaffected young Muslims across much of India....
The alleged scam was “one of the nation’s largest” of its kind, Bonta’s office said in a Tuesday news release.
