Manchester United brought in manager Jose Mourinho this offseason and Manchester City matched its effort by hiring Pep Guardiola. The two clubs also spent a healthy amount of money during the transfer window trying to strengthen their squads. MORE: Top American owners in Premier League Chelsea made headlines after a putrid 10th-place finish last season by bringing in Italy’s Antonio Conte to help re-discipline a squad that looked like a shadow of its former self last season....

At 33 feet (10 meters), the newly-discovered megaraptor is among the largest in the family, say paleontologists. It is also one of the youngest, with scientists describing it as “one of the last representatives of this group.” “This is the moment, 65 million years ago, when the extinction of the dinosaurs occurs, and this new megaraptor that we now have to study would be one of the last representatives of this group,” Fernando Novas, a paleontologist at the Natural Sciences Museum in Buenos Aires who led the excavation, told Reuters....

According to a press release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the seizure occurred on Thursday, August 4, when CBP officers in Louisville, Kentucky, encountered a shipment arriving from India. The package was manifested as medicine; however, CBP officers conducting a further inspection found that it contained something much different. During the inspection, CBP officers found five pill bottles within the package containing pills that were later tested and came back positive for “fentanyl properties....

For years, Arthur Andersen was at the top of its game. The biggest of the Big Five accounting firms, it boasted more clients, more money, and-many said-more talent than its rivals. Andersen also seemed to make fewer mistakes. “In the past, when something [bad] happened, it never happened to Andersen,” says Scott Whisenant, a University of Houston academic who has been tracking audit firms for nearly a decade.

There are feel-good stories at Talladega, including one involving iconic driver Dale Earnhardt. Then, there are the bad-feeling stories about the site of this week’s NASCAR races — especially as it pertains to the Chase for the Sprint Cup. There’s uncertainty, which isn’t always a bad thing, but in this case it has teams and drivers concerned since Chase elimination is possible.

Showtime’s latest oversexed drama is about lesbians–the jock, the rocker, the couple, the closet case–in every shape imaginable, as long as they’re gorgeous and willing to take their tops off. A few years ago, this might have been daring, especially when the one straight woman gives in to her bi side within an hour. But now it feels like titillation masquerading as politics, a humorless effort to give the Sapphic sisters a place on the dial with “Queer Eye,” “Queer as Folk” and TV’s other beloved queer boys....

According to the IPCC, the Arctic might have no summer sea ice as early as 2050, something that has not happened for about a million years. While that’s bad news for the polar bears that use the ice as a hunting platform, and who are going to be in big trouble as sea ice keeps shrinking, it also has dire implications for those of us living thousands of miles to the south: when sea ice is replaced with open water for even a few weeks in September (usually the month with the least sea ice), it changes atmospheric wind patterns in a way that could throw a huge wrench in our weather....

The father of the bride faces any number of challenges on his daughter’s wedding day, from walking her down the aisle to delivering an emotional speech. In some instances, the bride’s parents are even footing the bill for the whole day itself.

New research presented at ENDO 2020, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, found erectile dysfunction and poor morning erections—but not necessarily a lower libido—was associated with a higher risk of death. The study is yet to be published and undergo peer-review, when it will be assessed by experts in the field. The study, which involved 1,913 men aged 40 to 79 years old. Each had participated in the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) between 2003 and 2005, self-reporting sexual symptoms on the questionnaire....

Esophageal cancer varies tremendously around the globe, both in incidence and in the common risk factors. At the current time, esophageal adenocarcinoma is slightly decreasing in the United States. Understanding the Esophagus The esophagus is the muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. It lies behind the breastbone and trachea (the tube through which air passes on its way to the lungs), and in front of the thoracic spine....

Prior to last week’s unveiling of the photos, U.S. and Israeli officials had refused to discuss publicly the September 2007 raid. Even now, U.S. officials acknowledge that they’re still withholding key information about the provenance of the photos in order to protect sources and methods. But according to one senior intelligence official, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, the “handheld” photos taken from inside the reactor were gathered “over a period of time,” indicating that whoever took them was somehow able to breach the building’s inner sanctum on a consistent basis....

The former Raiders and Buccaneers coach annually is connected to openings, despite the fact that he’s been an analyst on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” for eight years. In fact, on Wednesday, when Mike Greenberg asked Gruden about his interest in coaching again — and, in particular, with the Rams, who last week fired coach Jeff Fisher — the “Mike & Mike” host prefaced it by saying, “For what feels like the 10th time we’ve asked you in the 10 years we’ve been here …”...

Georgia, likely to remain ranked at No. 4 in the next set of Playoff rankings, is in the best position if it can win out and beat LSU in the SEC championship game. No. 7 Utah is in position to slide into that fourth spot with a Pac-12 championship. If those two teams lose, however, Herbstreit is willing to preemptively size up what could be the final argument if No....

Krogner’s concept of the sophisticated shopper is at the core of his plan to reintroduce Esprit to the United States after a long absence. Back in the 1980s the retailer, then based in San Francisco, was a phenomenon. It hooked teenagers across the country on oversize neon shirts and giant logos. “It was one of the first brands that juniors could relate to and grow with,” says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with market-research firm NPD Group....

The last estimate marked 991 buildings destroyed. The $513 million is the first financial estimate of the damage from a fire that forced thousands to evacuate their homes. At least two people are currently missing and officials reported that remains have been found at one location. Law enforcement and fire investigators are still unsure what caused the fire which led 35,000 residents to flee their homes as winds peaking at 100 MPH whipped through the state, fueling the expansion of the fire that eventually encompassed over nine square miles....
