The lawsuit was filed Tuesday, with only one name plaintiff, Staten Island real estate firm Cornerstone Reality. The lawsuit said that businesses like the firm are being unreasonably forced to terminate unvaccinated staff, saying the city’s vaccine mandate doesn’t provide options for businesses to appeal. “This case is not about vaccines, but about an employer’s right to be heard,” the lawsuit stated. The city is infringing on business owners’ constitutional rights to make a living, the lawsuit argued....

In an interview with The Times of India, Hesson explained the tactical adjustments that Sharma will have to make in order to tackle the swing and seam that the Kiwi bowlers will generate in the first session of play. Hesson, who will be essaying the role of Director of Cricket Operations with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL believes that this tour will be Sharma’s biggest challenge as an opener in Test cricket, but also believes that the opener will enjoy the batting conditions in the country, provided he weathers the storm of the opening session and plays close to his body....

We can take potshots at the American Athletic Conference for days, but here’s the reality that can’t be overlooked: The last three champions of the league (including two years when it was branded the Big East) won BCS bowls in runaway routs. West Virginia over Clemson in 2011; Louisville over Florida in 2012; UCF over Baylor in 2013. The AAC is part of the Group of 5 conferences this fall, not an automatic qualifier for a major bowl in the new College Football Playoff....

An unnamed assailant leaped the security gate at Penn’s home, smashed through the front door and “began going crazy” inside the residence, according to TMZ Sports. Penn was inside the home with his wife and two young children when the invasion occurred. MORE: McClain’s house fire ruled arson | NFL requesting info from Hardy trial | Ahmad Bradshaw cited for pot possession Penn, a former Pro Bowl player who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 340 pounds, then physically restrained the 6-foot-1, 220-pound intruder until police arrived....

McGloin’s efforts look to have earned him the starting spot this Thursday at Dallas, even with the loss. It’s easy to play the blame game, but a lot of wind went out of the stadium when all-pro Sebastian Janikowski (Florida State) missed a 32-yard field goal right before half. Janikowski wasn’t what lost them the game (he also missed a 47 yarder), and in fact may have been what kept them in it for most of the game (he made 52, 48, 24, and 42-yard field goals as well)....

The school said Wednesday that it conducted an internal review of the incident and "confirmed that no crime was committed." Police in California arrested the players Oct. 14 based on a woman's sexual assault complaint, but prosecutors decided against bringing charges. Mondy and Williams missed games against California and Gonzaga. Coach Greg Kampe says he intends to make the incident "a learning experience for the two student-athletes involved and the rest of the team" and will hold workshops with them addressing the incident and "additional life skills....

During the Sunday evening interview, Jim Arroyo, vice president of the Oath Keepers Arizona chapter, said serving officers were members of the extremist group and were helping with training. Speaking with 60 Minutes’ Sharyn Alfonsi, Arroyo said: “Our guys are very experienced. We have active-duty law enforcement in our organization that are helping to train us. We can blend in with our law enforcement. In fact, in a lot of cases, our training is much more advanced because of our military backgrounds....

Proof Wenger needs a miracle to beat Ancelotti George Washington ended his tenure in charge of the country and decided to start making whisky, George W. Bush found himself dedicating time to painting world leaders and… dogs, while his father is known for skydiving. But as many Americans worry about what will become of his legacy and indeed the country under president Donald Trump, Obama has an excuse to leave it all behind and focus on something completely different....

Democrats have been encouraging Americans to vote this year as Biden faces off against incumbent President Donald Trump. Trump has implied that if he loses the election, it will be because of meddling by the Democratic Party. Obama gave Biden his endorsement in April and presented remarks during the 2020 Democratic National Convention. “So much is at stake in this election, from getting the pandemic under control to building a fairer economy to taking on climate change to protecting our healthcare,” Obama said in Tuesday’s video....

“What’s at stake is whether we’ve learned the lessons from World War II—that we can’t allow a tyrant to invade a sovereign democracy and get away with it,” Panetta, who served in the Obama administration, told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Wednesday. “That’s the most important lesson we’ve got to learn at this moment of crisis.” Panetta’s comments come a day after the U.S. began imposing new sanctions against Russia. President Joe Biden stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has “directly attacked Ukraine’s right to exist” and that the unfolding situation amounted to “the beginning of a Russia invasion....

Robert “Bob” Bauer, a New York University School of Law professor, penned a cautionary op-ed in The New York Times Tuesday describing how Republicans’ incoherent defense of Trump’s Ukraine actions has exposed the limits of impeachment in removing a “demagogue” like the current U.S. president. Bauer is the latest of several legal experts and former lawmakers directing Americans’ attention to The Federalist Papers, essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay that first expressed fears that a politician who possessed “perverted ambition” could one day take the country’s top office....

Whenever a champion is in a streak, they keep accumulating a bounty that keeps increasing as the streak continues. However, if an enemy kills this champion, they get the entire bounty gold. This means that if a champion with a legendary streak dies then whoever killed that champion will gain 1000 gold. This often helps change the course of a game significantly, balancing an uneven situation. Riot, however, is looking to add more ways to achieve the same within League of Legends....

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday gave emergency use authorization for the Novavax vaccine. While the vaccine is on track to become the fourth authorized inoculation against COVID-19, public health officials and others say it could play an important role as the pandemic drags on. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the most widely used, rely on messenger RNA (mRNA). These newer technologies prompt the recipient’s cells to produce a small amount of the virus that causes COVID-19, generating an immune system response....

How To Play Wordle Wordle is a short daily word game that pits players against a mystery word. In order to play, word puzzle fans will need to head to the New York Times Games site or the New York Times Crosswords App. There are loads of copycats out there, but this is the original Wordle; it was purchased by the newspaper site back in February 2022. Other versions will have different puzzle answers and may have different rules as well....

Republicans, in a disappointing but predictable continuation of the Trump era, have nominated scores of candidates who deny the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. And yet despite positioning themselves as the defenders of democracy, the Democrats have been engaging in one of the most cynical and revealing campaign tactics imaginable, showing that they also see winning elections as a higher priority than democracy itself. Democrats have been pouring money into Republican primaries in order to boost the most extreme, far-right candidates....

Now, resurrection is coming sooner than anyone dared hope. Next month officials of the California Condor Recovery Program plan to release two captive-born chicks into a mountainous sanctuary 70 miles northwest of L.A. Coincidentally, they were sired by that last male and female brought in from the wild. At first the chicks will live on a netted platform; by January or so, the net will be dropped. Though the birds will be monitored and fed clean carrion (stillborn calves) in the wild, they will have no direct human contact....

The 46-year-old joined the platform on Tuesday, August 9, and showed off his long, lighter locks alongside a thick beard and glasses. “Am I doing this right?” Chasez captioned the post, tagging his ex-bandmates Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick. In the 11-second clip, he said, “That’s really bright, give me this,” while staring into the phone’s camera, before grabbing it himself. “OK, how’s this s*** work?...

Harris is the old man of that troika, and he does not turn 25 until September. Jokic just turned 24, and Murray is only 22. There should be big things ahead for the franchise as long as those three are on board. That’s not to say there aren’t concerns. Harris had a difficult season, battling through a variety of injuries — his hip, his adductor, his hamstring — that kept him out 25 games and knocked down his stats when he did play....
