Money from outdoor games (hey, the Blackhawks are in another one!). Money under the salary cap (unless the Canadian dollar falls off a cliff, the commissioner essentially said, we’re looking at $72 million or so next season). Money from potential expansion teams (Las Vegas is still trying to gauge season-ticket interest, and Seattle still doesn’t have an arena). And, most of all, money from the reborn hockey World Cup, which will run from Sept....

On the surface, Padre Alberto seems more like a character out of Central Casting than out of the Archdiocese of Southern Florida. He is six feet tall, athletic and handsome. That his last name is Cutie only adds to the superb package. As a teenager, Cutie (pronounced Ku-ti-ye), who grew up in Miami, was known throughout the city as DJ Albert and even hosted a weekly music show on public radio....

That’s happened before. Heart-bypass surgery 10 years ago seemed to buy Mahathir a new lease on life–and he has continued to run the government by rising at dawn and working longer hours than anyone in his cabinet. But recently he has seemed to lose his political footing more often. When Mahathir blamed Jewish speculators for Malaysia’s financial problems last year, then ousted his deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, for alleged sexual misconduct, rumors bubbled up in the market that he was losing his balance....

Now, most of those benefits have ended or will soon: Over the summer, Americans lost federal protection from evictions and foreclosures. In September, pandemic unemployment insurance supplements expired nationwide, the expanded child tax credit followed suit at the end of the year and federal student loan payments, paused since March 2020, will resume in May. Even with those benefits expiring, though, it seems that COVID-19 taught us a valuable lesson about how seriously we need to take our social safety net....

The Girls Next Door alum made the claim during the September 5 episode of her Girls Next Level podcast, which she co-hosts with Bridget Marquardt, another of Hefner’s girlfriends. The Oregon native was in the middle of discussing one Playboy Mansion resident’s side hustles when she made the revelation. “She had been there for a while, she really wanted to be a Playmate,” the 42-year-old told listeners—without mentioning the woman by name—noting that Hefner “wasn’t making the girlfriends Playmates anymore....

With the Dow at 8000, thousand-point “milestones” aren’t what they used to be. What’s more useful is seeing how the time it takes the Dow to double has been dropping steadily for decades. But don’t hold your breath waiting for 16,000. 125 to 250 (Oct. 17, 128) 3 yrs. 7 mos. 250 to 500 (Mar. 12, 1956) 27 yrs. 5 mos. 500 to 1000 (Nov. 14, 1972) 16 yrs. 8 mos....

And what better example to gain direction from than the young hopeful that couldn’t see beyond his tears after being rejected by the National School of Football at Lilleshall, who then grew to captain his boyhood club as well as his country, cuddled up with the European Cup - the trophy secured in large part courtesy of his heroics, and retired an undisputed legend? Steven Gerrard’s appointment as a coach at Liverpool’s Academy, initially in a floating role, will have sparked celebratory scenes among the trainees at Kirkby....

The current version of the derby also employs a bracket system, in which players square off against each other one at a time. This has led to some truly epic showdowns, perhaps most notably Pete Alonso vs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in 2019. Last year was not without its fireworks, however, as Trey Mancini became a fan darling by getting runner-up just a year after being diagnosed with colon cancer....

Sovereign isn’t the only British woman to make waves on this side of the Atlan-tic. The Sri Lankan-born M.I.A. topped critics’ lists after the release of her first full-length CD, “Arular.” And Lily Allen’s recent U.K. debut has already created a huge buzz here. (Its stateside release is in January.) Their styles are radically different, but each incorporates some measure of rap and street beats. These three for-mer underground faves represent some of the freshest and most creative hip-hop/pop/Bollywood/East Indian/ska/new-wave hybrids around....

Daniel Albert Neja, a 39-year-old man in St. Petersburg, Florida, was living in the Al Lang Stadium, home of the soccer team, Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Neja was arrested on charges of burglary and resisting arrest without violence by police on Sunday, according to local reports....

Investigators from the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office are looking into the circumstances surrounding the death of 58-year-old Lee Roy Stewart. They believe Stewart was alive and possibly asleep or disoriented inside of a dumpster when a garbage truck dumped him into its compactor mechanism. Stewart’s body was found on Thursday at 10:15 a.m. local time when the truck entered its company transfer station. Surveillance cameras on the truck’s route may have captured footage of Stewart climbing in a dumpster, police said, though they are still investigating....

Kelsey Shaw, 30, keeps her pantry stocked full of homegrown canned fresh vegetables, pre-made meals, herbs, rice and pasta. The mother-of-three started preserving the food from her 5-acre farm when the family moved to Crown Point, Indiana, in September 2017. Shaw taught herself how to preserve everything from pickles to a beef stew, and uses methods such as dehydration and water-canning to keep her cupboards stocked up. It takes her three months to preserve all the food and she has enough stored to feed her family for eight months....

On Thursday, the poster on the popular discussion site Mumsnet shared the dilemma and wrote: “My niece has moved in with myself and my partner. Long backstory but basically she is very close to us and we love her very much.” But the reason for the post prompted over 200 responses when the Mumsnet user explained: “We are discussing how much rent she should contribute. Her net pay is £2,200 ($2,640) per month....
