That’s not always easy to do. Since there are so few games on the NFL calendar, many teams end up with the same record. The NFL’s tiebreaker procedures are complex as a result, especially when more than two teams finish with the same record. And if teams who have tied games in the season are involved in the postseason race? That adds another layer to the confusion. The 2022 NFL postseason race will include teams that have the same record and at least two teams with a tie in their records....

Biden said in a statement that the extension was needed because many borrowers were “still coping with the impacts of the pandemic and need some more time before resuming payments.” The new policy means that millions of Americans will have another three months before they need to restart payments.

In May of last year, another Muslim fanatic, guns blazing, attacked Turkey’s supreme court in Ankara. Four justices were wounded and one was killed. The assassin’s weapons of choice were a pair of Glock pistols. The attacks were no mystery. What puzzled Turkish police was the weapons’ origin. Glocks are high-quality sidearms, but by last year they had practically become common street weapons in Turkey. More than 1,000 had been taken from criminals, guerrillas, terrorists and assassins all over the country, and authorities believed tens of thousands more had found their way onto the black market—but from where?...
