Several days later, small red splotches popped up on his fingers and arms, confirming his hunch. As a gay man and sixth-year pharmacology PhD candidate at the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences in New York City, Planck had been paying attention to mpox since the beginning of the current outbreak. Now, he’s among the almost 2,000 people who have tested positive for the disease in the United States....

No surprise there. SPRING FOOTBALL: Alabama | Clemson | LSU Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio also there? No surprise, either. His son, Luke, is competing for the starting quarterback job. But Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman (The French Connection, Unforgiven) taking in a little football? That’s right, Hackman was there with Del Rio (the two are friends — check out this FoxSports.com story) on Wednesday to watch the Gators in spring practice....

Tough battle The Egyptian girl, the second seed did not seem to consider the lower-seeded Indian much of a hurdle. The contest too started off that way with Janna sailing past her rival in the first game with ease. The transformation came there, or rather, the true character of the national champion Anahat came to the fore. “She likes to fight and hates to lose,” described her mother Tani Vadhera Singh of her champion daughter....

Types of Anal Cancer Each type of anal cancer is named for the type of tissue from which the cancer cells originate.

Here was how Manchester United lined up. This was Manchester United’s line up on paper, but this was not how they played. Valencia and Luke Shaw started as wing-backs. Jose Mourinho wanted his wing-backs to close down Tottenham’s full-backs. As a result, Mourinho deployed Ander Herrera in the right centre back position alongside Phil Jones and Chris Smalling. However, it may have been a bad decision to deploy Herrera in the back instead of Matic because Nemanja Matic has a better defensive record than Herrera....

Hickey, an analyst for Janco Partners, based this deduction off of recent Take Two Interactive financial announcements changing the end of their fiscal year to March 31st. This adjustment shows that Take Two is planning on focusing on two major releases for their next year: L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3, as well as the potential release of Duke Nukem Forever. These three releases, the analyst assumes, should be more than enough for the company to turn a healthy profit....

Whatever the consoles look like and pack under the hood, some expectations have been reinforced by competing hardware shown off this week at CES 2013. Now one particular investment research group is projecting that whatever hardware the next-gen consoles rely on, they can both be expected to retail for $350-$400 at launch. Now, those who followed the launch of the last wave of consoles won’t be blown away by that projection (although we’d lean much farther towards the top end), since the 20GB Xbox 360 did just fine sales-wise at that price, while the PlayStation 3’s much larger price tag was blamed by many for its lagging install base....

But the intelligence report did not say what kind of attack, aside from speculating that it might involve a “radiological dispersal device,” a so-called dirty bomb, or perhaps chemical and biological weapons. Nor did it provide any useful guidance about the targets or the exact timing or the precise method of attack. The briefing suggested that Al Qaeda is aiming at the “Continental United States” and “the Persian Gulf,” but continued, “we cannot rule out other locations…” The report was alarming, even apocalyptic, but also maddeningly vague....

William Boykin is the general who has recently been appointed to a senior Defense Department post. Over the last two years the general has given dozens of addresses to evangelical Christian groups in which, describing his battle with a Somali (Muslim) warlord, he has said: “I knew that my God was bigger than his God. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol.” He has also repeatedly explained that America’s enemy was “a spiritual enemy… called Satan....

But is it? The key phrase in Romney’s statement is “former Speaker.” Since Republicans lost control of Congress, Hastert has quietly moved back into the rank and file. He had to gave up his grand office digs for a smaller suite in the Rayburn House office building, and during this month’s swearing-in of members, he literally sat on the back bench on the GOP side of the House. He’s no longer in the GOP leadership, though last week he reportedly spoke at a meeting of Republican lawmakers to urge them to take a tougher stance against the Democrats....

As such, the offer to test out AndaSeat’s T-Pro 2 Series gaming chair proved all too alluring; at the very least to save my remaining vertebrae but also as a chance to test out one of the few fabric-covered seats that the company makes. Assembly Being a super king-sized chair, the T-Pro 2 arrives in a not-insignificant box, and with a steel frame and an aluminium base, weighs in at approximately 32....

Following a Klay Thompson block on Raptors guard Kyle Lowry’s layup attempt, Andre Iguodala ended up with the ball and threw Shaun Livingston a stupid, between-the-legs, behind-the-back lob for the alley-oop finish. MORE: Durant hates L2M reports, but the reason why may surprise you The whistle blew prior to the sequence, so the basket didn’t count. But it was still ridiculous to watch. The Raptors got down big early Wednesday night, and they hadn’t done much to cut into the Golden State lead entering the fourth quarter....

The longtime fashion writer created history by becoming the first African-American creative director of the publication. He was appointed to the position in 1988 by Vogue editor-in-chief and fashion icon Anna Wintour. Talley and Wintour went on to work together for nearly 30 years and their working relationship was well-known in the fashion industry. They had a falling out in 2018 after Talley was replaced by Liza Koshy for conducting interviews on the Met Gala red carpet....

The Old Lady dropped points for the second time in three Serie A games, as Cristiano Ronaldo’s well-taken strike was not enough to claim a much-needed victory. Verona’s rise in intensity and a creative spark down the wings left Juventus unsettled, eventually leading to Antonin Barak’s equaliser. As a result, Juventus are now seven points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan, who have accumulated four wins on the spin....

The road wasn’t without its bumpy moments, but they were inevitable. At the very least, they gave him a couple of valuable insights into the world of e-Commerce he’s more than willing to share.

Because the Packers won Sunday in Chicago, thanks to some late-game heroics by Aaron Rodgers, and the Lions lost to the Giants, Detroit’s hold on the NFC North is dwindling. MORE: Updated NFL playoff picture After Sunday’s 17-6 loss to the Giants, the Lions (9-5) will head to Dallas next week before hosting the Packers (8-6) on New Year’s Day. The Packers will play the Vikings (7-7) on Saturday at Lambeau Field....

After the game was over, stadium personnel at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin were on a mass search for the lost chain. Alvin Jones Sr., who was the father of Aaron, died from COVID complications on April 6, according to the El Paso Times. Aaron Jones, who has been Green Bay’s starting running back for several years, wore a chain that contained his late father’s ashes. During Monday night’s win, Jones had one rushing touchdown and three receiving touchdowns....

The Line: Seahawks -8, Total: 46 Line movement: The line has bounced between an opening price of -7 and -7.5 at the South Point, whose policy is not to come off the standard -110 vigorish. Other Las Vegas books have been between those numbers as well. On the morning of the game, though, many books made the move to -8. The total opened between 46.5 and 47 and remained in that range through early betting, before a move to 46 or 45....

Having said that, the world championship was also earned by a Mercedes driver. This would be a sensational fifth-title for the amazing Lewis Hamilton. There were also gains for sides like the Scuderia, Ferrari, managing to be the only side to give Mercedes a competition, even as the Italian side failed to win, yet again. There were some impressive moments for Red Bull, third on the Constructor’s standings, a team that would win 4 Grands Prix in 21, thanks to Max and Daniel winning two apiece....
