Spam now accounts for 19 of 20 e-mails, and its cost to businesses doubled between 2005 and 2007 to $100 billion (about a third of that in the United States), according to Ferris Re search, a San Francisco-based consultancy. In their cat-and-mouse game with security, spammers have been innovative. To avoid filters, at first they inter changed some letters and numbers and broke up words with spaces. When keyword filters got better, spam appeared with addi tional, unsuspicious text that reduced the percent age of trigger words....

Nasrin was unknown in the United States until recently: she writes in Bengali, and although her latest novel, “Lajja” (“Shame”), has been translated into English, it is not yet available here. But at home she has been notorious for years. A newspaper columnist and the author of 21 books, she has been married and divorced three times. Her columns demanding women’s rights are blunt; and in her fiction and poetry, she writes about women’s sexuality in terms so explicit even some Bangladeshi feminists recoil....

NEWSWEEK: Evin Prison—what’s it like? Haleh Esfandiari: The prison is a prison; solitary confinement is solitary confinement. I decided that I wasn’t going to fall into despair. Being a very disciplined person, I started a very rigorous program of exercising, walking, writing a biography of my Iranian grandmother in my head—I didn’t want to put anything on paper—and reading. I would keep myself busy unless I was called in for interrogation....

Esophageal atresia is one of several different types of gastrointestinal atresia (a blockage somewhere along the intestinal tract); EA is the most common type. It’s estimated that 1 in 4100 live births involve an infant with esophageal atresia. In half of those instances, there are other types of congenital malformations present as well.

There still will be games televised by the company’s various channels on Tuesday, Nov. 14, notably the Champions Classic doubleheader in Chicago matching Michigan State vs. Duke and Kentucky vs. Kansas.

Skipper, who has served as ESPN’s president since Jan. 1, 2012, had recently signed a multi-year contract extension. Former ESPN boss George Bodenheimer will take over as acting chairman over the next 90 days to help Bob Iger, chairman and chief executive officer of ESPN parent Disney, find Skipper’s replacement. In a statement, Skipper said: “I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction. I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem....

But a Tuesday episode of ESPN’s “Get Up” featured an opinion so bad it went beyond the typical daytime nonsense of recent weeks. NFL insider Dan Graziano told a panel he believes Love will win more Super Bowls in his career than Rodgers, who has one ring and could possibly get another before retirement. His colleagues laughed at the suggestion. “All Jordan Love has to do is win two to make this prediction come true,” Graziano said, not acknowledging the fact just 12 quarterbacks in NFL history have claimed multiple championships....

The bill is led in the House by New York Representatives Carolyn Maloney, Jerrold Nadler and Peter King, and in the Senate by Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth. It is patterned after a similar fund created to help workers who became sick in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001....

As hundreds of thousands face the world’s worst famine crisis in a decade, Ethiopia issued the cease-fire through the end of the planting season in September so that farmers can safely grow their crops. State media announced the ceasefire shortly after the Tigray interim administration, which was appointed by federal authorities, fled the regional capital, Mekele, calling for a cease-fire so that aid can be delivered. Mekele residents welcome the arrival of Tigray forces....

Despite winning the first set, Bouchard was knocked out 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 by Mona Barthel. Bouchard was the tournament’s top seed. It was Barthel’s first victory over a top-10 player in two years. It’s not the result Bouchard expected. She came under Sumyk’s tutelage after the Australian Open after ending her work with Nick Saviano during the offseason. “It’s always tough to play against Genie. She plays so well, you really have to play your best,” Barthel said....

REVEALED: World’s best paid player Never in the modern era have United gone four years without lifting the championship trophy, with the last such run coming in Sir Alex Ferguson’s formative spell at the club before the Premier League came into being. But, more than that, United are not even so much as challenging for titles at present and have started the 2016-17 campaign so unconvincingly that a large number of supporters are even questioning whether a tilt at the Europa League title might be their best route to next season’s Champions League....

Champions League Team of the Season It is the fourth time he has claimed the prize, having previously finished as the continent’s leading marksman in 2010, 2012 and 2013. Great rival Cristiano Ronaldo finished 11th, having scored 25 times in the Primera Division. The individual honour will come as small consolation to the Argentine, who saw Real Madrid win both La Liga and the Champions League as Barca claimed only the Copa del Rey in what was by their standards a disappointing campaign....

The episode proved to be a veritable feast for fans of the iconic science fiction show, particularly those familiar with theclassic Dr Who era, which aired on the BBC from 1963 to 1989. A number of Easter Eggs, references and cameos were made in Whittaker’s swan song, and some viewers may have missed them.

The discordance was clearly no accident. Enterprise was meant to stand apart from other Star Treks in any number of ways—the words “Star Trek” didn’t even appear in the title until the third season. But there was an instant backlash to the saccharine theme when Enterprise premiered in 2001, with fan protests and petitions calling for a return of “score that is without vocals, as traditionally used by Star Trek television series....
