The dog, known fondly as “Mama Dog,” has been on the loose in Natchez, Mississippi and has become the main focus of the “Lost and Found Pets of Natchez/Adams County” Facebook page, with regular sightings and updates posted about her “My understanding is that about three weeks ago, she was noticed at the Exxon station on Liberty Road,” designated rescuer Linda Kennon told The Natchez Democrat. “It appears in the last two weeks, she has been in the area she is now....

Once again, Krens is defending the way he runs his museum, so his smile is a little weary. “I sometimes feel personally attacked,” be says. “I can’t believe that intelligent people wouldn’t support what we’re doing.” But ever since he arrived in 1988 -a former college art teacher armed with an M.B.A. -his ambitious plans have been denounced by critics. In his first four years, he spent $47.3 million expanding and refurbishing the museum’s famous Frank Lloyd Wright building on Fifth Avenue -in New York....

Round one begins this week. Marijuana activists have amassed enough support to force Marin County District Attorney Paula Kamena into a “recall” vote. (If the measure passes, Kamena will lose her job to a candidate more favorable to the pro-pot crowd.) Her alleged misdeed: harassing marijuana-smoking patients with legal action. The 55-year-old Kamena insists that she has been unfairly targeted by the “medipot” forces. During her 2-1/2-year tenure, Kamena has allowed patients to keep as many as six mature marijuana plants without fear of prosecution....

Kevin Harvick and teammate Kurt Busch asked for a jet dryer to finish the straightaways at the start of the race that was delayed almost seven hours because of rain in the desert. MORE: Photos from soggy Phoenix | Chase standings | Schemes honor Gordon But by the time another batch of rain forced NASCAR’s hand more than 200 miles into the race, Chase drivers needing a high finish pleaded on their teams’ radios....

I live in the City of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Over 70 percent of our 40,000 residents identify as a racial or ethnic minority, close to a quarter lives below the poverty level, and there are over 30 languages spoken at Chelsea Public Schools. But we are not just diverse; Chelsea is the epitome of an environmental justice community. It’s a place where our nation’s legacy of environmental racism, our addiction to fossil fuels, and a sluggish transition to clean energy sources has proven deadly for people of color....

That’s not a popular view right now among many of my fellow Facebook members—to say the least. Laura’s time-stamped announcement is part of a new feature called “News Feed” that automatically posts bulletins whenever a buddy updates his or her personal profile. Think of it as Google News for your circle of friends: when I log in, each tiny tweak—Deona added “doughy breadd” [ sic ] to her interests (12:40 p....

But the head of the Black Male Voter Project, which is working to get out Black men in Georgia for the Senate runoffs on January 5 as it did for the general election, said those ubiquitous setups are contrived, in no small part because once there are cameras, white people and women at the events, the conversation ceases to be genuine. Robinson knows the importance of finding out what Black men really care about....

FPCA president Chief Jeff Pearson announced the group’s endorsement on Friday. “Time and time again, President Trump has demonstrated his unwavering support for law enforcement and for the men and women that risk their lives to protect the peace,” Pearson said during a press conference. “President Trump has done more for police than any other president has in our country, in our history,” he added. Pearson said that other politicians are “openly attacking law enforcement,” although it was unclear if he was referring to Democratic nominee Joe Biden,...

Biden’s decisions to bypass the Western Wall in Jerusalem, bar Israeli officials from his visit to the Augusta Victoria Hospital in eastern Jerusalem, and invite Shireen Abu Akleh’s family to Washington to meet with “government officials” were bad. So was snubbing Arnold and Frimet Roth, parents of 15-year-old American terror victim Malki Roth. So far, not terrible overall. But then, President Biden got to the West Bank, and it was time to pretend that Palestinians hadn’t heard what he said in Jerusalem—and that Israelis wouldn’t hear what he said in Bethlehem....

And even though Cleveland’s title hopes sit squarely on the broad shoulders of LeBron James, the little-known Australian has proven a capable sidekick, emerging from obscurity to successfully keep in check some of basketball’s biggest names long enough for James to do his thing. MORE: Cavs win Game 2 the ugly way | Must-see Finals photos He had his best performance yet Sunday. Days after the Cavaliers were left for dead by way of Kyrie Irving’s fractured knee cap, Dellavedova held league MVP Stephen Curry to one of the worst shooting games of his career....

This has implications for the future. It will be a few weeks before we know just what those implications are, but it seems obvious that if the Heat keep trying the same formula that led them to this disappointing result, they’re not going to get very far. San Antonio pretty thoroughly pulled the Heat apart in the series. But going forward, teams all over the league are going to get better, and the Heat need to do the same....

The lockdown orders required residents to remain at home, while most businesses, including restaurants and bars, and other public venues, were ordered to be shut to help slow the spread of the virus. Some COVID-19 restrictions, including mask mandates, were gradually eased from 2020 as well as in recent months this year as the COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues across the country. Here we look at images of different cities across America from the start of their lockdown orders compared with how they appear today in recent weeks....

The invention of the Hula Hoop is arguably more responsible for the sexual revolution than just about anything else, because prior to then American women had never quite moved … their … hips … like that in public before. It was all over once those things started showing up in cul-de-sacs across the country. The man who helped make that suburban magic possible died this week. He was Richard (Rich) Knerr, cofounder of the company Wham-O, which marketed the cheap plastic ring–it originally sold for 98 cents–that became a huge craze practically overnight when it was introduced in 1958....

But Patsy paid her back. Owen Bradley, who produced Cline’s legendary late ’50s- early ’60s hits, caught Barnett’s performance, and when she later signed with Sire Records he came on board as producer. Four songs on her new album, “I’ve Got a Right to Cry,” are the last record-ings Bradley made before he died last year at 82. “Owen was so confident in the studio,” Barnett says. “We cut the four songs in three hours, live with strings and everything....

It isn’t quite clear why some people are more sensitive to noxious smells than others, but osmophobia— a psychological hypersensitivity to smells—is a common part of the migraine experience. Generally, chemical fumes such as cleaners and gasoline are those most likely to induce a migraine attack. During a migraine, many odors can be bothersome. What Is Osmophobia? During a migraine, you may experience an aversion to smells that you regard as unpleasant....

Hospitals are experiencing shortages of oxygen and space in intensive care units. Many people are being forced to turn to makeshift facilities for mass burials and cremations. Authorities are converting train cars into isolation wards. In March, Piyush Goyal, India’s railways minister, tweeted images of converted train cars that would hold patients. “Now, the railways will offer clean, sanitized and hygienic surroundings for the patients to comfortably recover,” Goyal said....

With aim to aid development of budding footballers, the tournament provides a platform for athletes to compete against some of the finest in the country in the same age group, while also presenting the perfect environment for scouting precocious talent. This is the second year of the tournament’s hosting, having been inaugurated last year.

Aizawl FC, after their miraculous I-League win, had threatened to go on hunger strikes and conduct demonstrations if they were not included in the new league. As per reports, the new league was to include only Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Bengaluru FC along with the eight Indian Super League (ISL) franchises, which irked the newly-crowned champions who would have been relegated to the second division.
