Goals from Chris Smalling and substitute Romelu Lukaku saw second-placed United see off Bournemouth on Wednesday following last week’s shock defeat to relegation-bound West Brom at Old Trafford. Saturday’s 1-0 loss against lowly WBA handed neighbours Manchester City the title, having halted their trophy celebrations in the derby a week earlier. Still disappointed with the defeat to West Brom, manager Mourinho lamented United’s record against sides further down the table following losses to Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town, and draws against Stoke City and Southampton....

The loss was Wenger’s first victory over the Portuguese in the Premier League at the 13th time of asking, with Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck helping to secure a 2-0 win. Mourinho’s TV interview dig at Wenger Mourinho aimed a subtle dig at Wenger in his post-match television interview, insisting that Gunners fans could finally go home with a smile on their face after so many years of pain when facing him....

Who could have made Messi even better? “I have big emotional connections with Chelsea,” he said shortly before returning to west London for a second spell in 2013. “One day I think I have to go back to English football, to Chelsea or another club. Chelsea are in my heart.” He has ended up doing both, cementing his position as the Blues’ most successful manager of all time with the 2015 Premier League title before a calamitous defense of the trophy led him towards the Manchester United job he now occupies....

Ahead of him being ushered into the FIBA Hall of Fame before this year’s tournament in China, it feels like an opportune time to look back at the legacy of Alonzo Mourning for his country. He’s known as the scowling, high-fade-rocking, Jeff-Van-Gundy-nemesis, bulging-bicep-flexing, interior-enforcer of the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat of the 90s, but what about international play? Having played in both the 1990 and 1994 tournaments, Alonzo Mourning not only holds the all time (USA) scoring record (215 points), but he’s also the (USA) all-time leading rebounder (102) and shot blocker (46) too....

They can be painful, annoying, and sometimes embarrassing, interfering with eating, drinking, brushing, and even talking. They are also very common. The pain from a mouth ulcer is caused because the nerves just below the surface of the lining of the mouth become exposed. Luckily most mouth ulcers are easy to treat. Mouth ulcers are usually temporary, healing on their own within one to two weeks, and harmless (except for pain and inconvenience)....

For the rest of the Chargers fans, though, for the overwhelming majority, why does the move to Los Angeles even matter? If you have been a fan of the Chargers your entire life, if you have embraced the team of Junior Seau and Lance Alworth and John Hadl and Dan Fouts, if you’ve bought their gear and cheered their victories and pouted through defeats, why would their move two hours up the street have any impact on you at all?...

In a statement, Showcase announced the precautions it was taking to provide the safest movie-going experience for its customers. Besides reducing audience capacity, Showcase also announced that it would provide COVID-19 prevention education for staff; increase custodial services; clean all high touch surface areas (such as seats, armrests, cup holders, door handles, ticketing kiosks, and more) at regular intervals and between showtimes; enforce staff hand washing breaks; providing staff with vinyl gloves for cleaning; stocking restrooms; providing signage for proper hygiene practices; requiring staff to stay home if they show symptoms; and asking patrons who show symptoms to leave....

His warning resonated with subsequent Congress leaders such as Mohandas K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. These founders of independent India held that lasting solutions to economic and social problems could only come if colonial territories achieved self-rule. Freedom, they reasoned, would foster more mass-oriented policies. That belief, which eventually galvanized leaders in other parts of Asia, Africa and South America, led to the emergence of some130 independent countries from the 1940s through the ’60s....

The Hammers have endured a miserable start to the Premier League campaign, winning just two of their first 11 matches after they were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool on Saturday. West Ham 23/10 to beat Watford Their form has been made even more underwhelming by the fact that Bilic received significant backing in the transfer window, with Javier Hernandez, Marko Arnautovic and Joe Hart among the new arrivals. Goal understands the club is ready to move on and appear set to offer Moyes a six-month contract to right the ship....

Mpox is caused by a virus that is closely linked to the virus that causes smallpox. While its symptoms often mimic those of smallpox, mpox is likely to be less severe. The mpox virus is spread through close contact with a diseased person, diseased animal, or objects that contain the virus. It can also infect an unborn baby whose mother has the disease. There is no approved treatment for mpox, so care generally involves symptom management....

If you look at Assad like that, there’s no reason for Secretary of State Warren Christopher to give Assad the time of day, much less a week of his time. And certainly no cause for the highest-ranking diplomat of the world’s only superpower to face the intransigence – the downright impudence–of a dictator who stood Christopher up as he shuttled last week between Jerusalem and Damascus. But if you care about the neighborhood, you’ve got to deal with Syria....

The sequel picks up where the original “Austin Powers” left off, go-going its way through another decade-straddling, Ian Fleming-on-Ecstasy plot. We start off in the present day, where oversexed agent Powers (Myers) is relaxing between the sheets until his chrome-domed nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers again) spoils the mood. This time Evil’s gunning for Washington, D.C., with a giant laser cannon stationed on the moon. But in the meantime, he’s got something else up the sleeve of his beloved Nehru jacket....

But those four letters seem to keep a lot of people from knowing the difference between the two organizations. Just a few days after a Fox News anchor called the Connecticut Huskies the "NAACP champions," MSNBC anchor Ronan Farrow referred to former NAACP President Ben Jealous as "Former head of the NCAA." It appears as if the only thing the liberals and conservatives can agree on is that neither of them can tell the difference between the NCAA and NAACP....

Reid discussed the growing movement in the U.S. to reframe how American history is taught and said that “some parents opposed to CRT aren’t too pleased,” before playing a video clip of an emotional mother expressing her opposition. “Just because I do not want critical race theory taught to my children in school does not mean I am a racist damnit,” the unnamed mother said tearfully in front of a room with others and was met with clapping....

Pretty scary. But if you’re worried about someone monkeying with your money, don’t be. The unhyperventilated truth is that funds are still one of the safest investments you can make. The reason: no other form of investment has so many safeguards against fraud built in by law, enforced by regulators and reinforced by competition. “Taken as a whole, the industry has not had systemic problems,” says Barry Barbash, director of investment management at the Securities and Exchange Commission....

Give and Go Prepared Foods Corp issued a voluntary recall for its blueberry, strawberry, banana nut, chocolate and corn muffins and mini-muffins, which are sold in multiple national chains under several brand names. The company said via their Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recall statement that they were issuing the recall because of the muffins’ possible contamination by Listeria monocytogenes, “an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems....

Ali, a former heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist, was hospitalized on Dec. 20 for what was initially thought to be pneumonia. MORE: Rare Muhammad Ali photos Ali, who turns 73 later this month, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1984.

Ali died Friday night at age 74, but before he passed he left a mark with not only fans and the media, but his opponents. And for the latter, not just physical ones. For opponents, the “sting like a bee” part of his persona wasn’t limited just to the jabs and uppercuts that helped make him a legend. That also described how his taunts left them feeling decades later. MORE: The 10 greatest fights of Ali’s career...

Mukasey waffled on the matter in a Senate hearing last week, and some Democrats assailed him for skirting the legal issue. (A Senate Judiciary Committee vote is set for Nov. 6.) The CIA doesn’t comment on specific interrogation practices, but current and former administration officials, who asked for anonymity discussing a sensitive subject, said waterboarding or other harsh techniques were used on three of the most-senior Qaeda captives, including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed....

Forensic examination of the remains of the children found by the Cajamarquilla mummy—discovered last year—revealed evidence of violence, such as fractures, blows, and bruises, suggesting they would have been sacrificed as part of the funerary ritual. The team that unearthed the Cajamarquilla mummy in the Jicamarca Valley, Lima in 2021, including the head of the research project Pieter Van Dalen Luna, believes that the discovery could rewrite what we know about the cultural history of ancient Peruvian societies....
